[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks"]
by Lars Wolf 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks" Datum: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:00:01 +0100 Von: Martin Drozda <mdrozda(a)sim.uni-hannover.de> Organisation: Leibniz Universität Hannover An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **CALL FOR PAPERS** SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks" Part of 2008 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS 2008) June 16-18, 2008, Edinburgh, UK http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2008/ SCOPE AND TOPICS: With the increasing complexity of wireless networks, the task of network management is becoming more and more difficult to handle. Wireless networks are becoming too complex for even the most skilled system integrators to install, configure, and maintain. Therefore it is desirable that they would be fully autonomic -- able to manage themselves following high level objectives defined by network administrators. This goal implies a need for distributed computational environments that would function with often very limited resources such as bandwidth, energy, or processing capability of wireless devices. Nature has demonstrated itself to be efficient in dealing with many of these limitations, often in a more efficient way than the human-designed counterparts. Therefore there has been significant interest in applying ideas based on natural systems in the wireless communications domain. This special session aims at bringing together contributions that apply ideas inspired by natural systems to wireless networks. It will address leading edge research ranging from theory to experimental evaluation and tools. The topics include but are not limited to: o Self-adaptive and self-tuning wireless networks. Autonomic networks. o Learning algorithms inspired by neuro-physiology. o Algorithms for securing wireless networks including approaches based on evolution or immunity. o Network algorithms based on genetics. o Network epidemics. o Bio-inspired protocols design including bio-inspired routing or bio-inspired cognitive radio. o Experimental case studies, test beds and tools. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission of papers: January 25, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: March 21, 2008 Final Camera-Ready Submission Due: April 18, 2008 The deadlines for paper submission and acceptance notification follow the deadlines set by the SPECTS conference. SUBMISSION: Authors are invited to submit technical papers through the conference web site. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Formatting details can be found under "Paper Submission" on the SPECTS 2008 web site. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. SESSION CHAIRS: Martin Drozda, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany drozda (at) sim (dot) uni-hannover (dot) de and Jon Timmis, University of York, UK jtimmis (at) cs (dot) york (dot) ac (dot) uk _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience
by Petteri Nurmi 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Apologies for multiple postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMUx 2008 - CALL FOR PAPERS The Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience (IMUx 2008) http://www.hiit.fi/events/imux2008 in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2008), 19-22 May 2008, Sydney, Australia http://pervasive2008.org/ Submission Deadline: 25 January 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEME Current interfaces of mobile devices are rather limited when adaptability, context-awareness and proactiveness are considered. For example, they do not utilize the context of the interaction, nor the environmental changes in the user's proximity or the capabilities of the device itself. This context can include information about the situation and the user preferences, longer or shorter time usage histories, etc. To improve usability and to provide a better user experience, the interfaces of the devices should become more intelligent and require less intentional user inputs. In order to achieve this goal, novel interaction methods need to be developed and combined with statistical models of the user that capture, for example, her behavior, personal preferences and goals. Furthermore, the developed solutions need to be evaluated via extensive user tests to guarantee they are valuable to the users. To improve the dialogue between the different research areas and their practitioners, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the fields of user modeling, user interaction and user experience, with developers of mobile and ubiquitous applications. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to provide a common forum for exchanging ideas between these domains. The workshop welcomes two kinds of paper submissions: research papers and position papers. Also videos and demonstrations can be submitted. The research papers should present original research related to one or more of the following areas: * user interaction in mobile environments, * ubiquitous user modeling, and * mobile user experience. The position papers should address challenges in combining the above-mentioned areas, and beyond, for an improved mobile user experience, and propose approaches for overcoming these challenges. We encourage authors to take a visionary view and a critical stand towards current practices and trends. Example topics for the research and position papers include, but are not limited to, * adaptive context-aware user interfaces, * mobile computing applications with adaptation, * considerate computing, * context-aware information retrieval, * embedded solutions for machine learning, * large scale data gathering and its challenges, * large scale user studies, * minimal/implicit/reduced user interaction, * mixed-initiative interaction. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline: 25 January 2008 at 23:59 EST. Notification: 29 February 2008. Day of workshop: 19 May 2008 or 22 May 2008 (pending the Pervasive conference organizer's decision) SUBMISSIONS The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines. The maximum length of submissions is 10 pages for research papers and 6 pages for videos and demonstrations. Papers should be submitted by email to the address imux2008 (at) hiit (dot) fi by 25 January 2008 at 23:59 EST. Each paper will be sent for review to three members of the program committee or organizing committee. The Pervasive conference organizers plan to publish a proceedings of all the workshop papers. Further information about this will be available later. PLEASE NOTE: This may affect the requested format and we are waiting for further instructions from the Pervasive conference organizers. All participants in the workshop need to register for the event. Further information will be available later. At least one author of the submitted paper is expected to participate and present the paper at the workshop. COMMITTEES Organizing committee: * Péter Boda (Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, Calif., USA) * Ákos Vétek (Nokia Research Center, Helsinki, Finland) * Patrik Floréen (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) * Esko Kurvinen (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) * Petteri Nurmi (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) Program committee: * Mark Adler (Nokia Research Center, Cambridge, MA, USA) * Wray Buntine (NICTA, Canberra, Australia) * Jim Glass (MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) * Matt Jones (Swansea University, Swansea, UK) * Johan Koolwaaij (Telematica Instituut, Enschede, The Netherlands) * Kun Chang Lee (Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea) * Rene Mayrhofer (Lancaster University, UK) * Tatsuo Nakajima (Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan) * Massimo Paolucci (DoCoMo Eurolabs, Munich, Germany) Workshop organization The program consists of invited talks together with presentations, and possibly demonstrations and videos, from the participants.

============================================================== Bitte entschuldigen Sie ggf. mehrfache Kopien dieses Aufrufs. Bitte leiten Sie den Aufruf auch an interessierte KollegInnen/MitarbeiterInnen weiter! ============================================================== 1. GI/ITG KuVs Fachgespräch WMAN (Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks) Fachgespräch der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme Universität Ulm, 10./11.03.2008 Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Zielsetzung: Mobile Ad-hoc Netzwerke (MANETs) stellen heute eines der aktivsten Forschungsgebiete dar. Neben der grundlegenden Organisation des Routing-Prozesses finden sich in MANETs weitere wichtige Fragestellungen wie Autokonfiguration, Sicherheit oder effizienter Nutzung von Ressourcen. Bedingt durch die beschränkten Ressourcen mobiler Kleingeraete, das Fehlen zentraler Instanzen und die hohe Dynamik von Ad-hoc Netzen lassen sich bekannte Lösungen aus dem Bereich drahtgebundener Netze nicht ohne Weiteres übertragen. Aus diesen Gründen behandelt dieses Fachgespräch die zugrundeliegenden Funktechnologien ebenso wie Fragestellungen bis zur Anwendungsschicht. Auch konkrete Anwendungsszenarien wie Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation oder Unterwasser-Ad-hoc Netze sind von Interesse. Die aus vielfältigen Themenbereichen bekannten Fachgespräche der KuVs zeichnen sich durch eine kommunikative, diskussionsorientierte Atmosphäre aus, bei der auch junge Forschungsaktivitäten sowie initiale Ideen zu Herausforderungen des jeweiligen Themenkreises präsentiert werden sollen. Autoren sind eingeladen, eine Kurzfassung ihrer zur Diskussion zu stellenden Aktivitäten im Umfang von maximal 2 Seiten als PDF einzureichen (in deutscher oder englischer Sprache, Formatierung im Stil der IEEE Transactions, siehe http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html). Die endgültigen Kurzfassungen (sowie ggf. die Präsentationsfolien) sollen in einem Technischen Bericht der Universität Ulm zusammengefasst und veröffentlicht werden. Ferner ist geplant, im Anschluss an das Fachgespräch ausgewählte Beiträge zur Einreichung einer Vollversion für ein Themenheft der PIK (Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation) einzuladen. Einreichungen sollen formlos per E-Mail an die drei Organisatoren geschickt werden (Termin und E-Mailadressen siehe unten). Wichtige Daten 31.01.2008 - Frist für Einreichungen 14.02.2008 - Benachrichtigung 03.03.2008 - Endgültige Fassung 03.03.2008 - Anmeldeschluss Mo 10.03. - Di 11.03.2008 Fachgespräch Veranstaltungsort/Genaue Zeiten Das Fachgespräch wird an der Universität Ulm stattfinden. Beginn der Veranstaltung ist am Mo 10.03.2008 um 13.00 Uhr, um möglichst vielen TeilnehmerInnen die Anreise am Montagvormittag zu ermöglichen. Das Treffen endet am Di 11.03.2008 um 12.00 Uhr.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Workshop on "Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks" will be held on the 19th of May in Irvine, USA, in adjunction with the 2008 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2008) May 19-23, 2008 The Hyatt Regency Irvine Irvine, California, USA http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/08/ CALL FOR PAPERS Submission Deadline: January 15, 2008 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The 1st International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks aims at providing opportunities to present the most recent advances and future challenges in the field of distributed, wireless and mobile communications in sensors networks, as they relate to collaboration. Wireless Sensors Networks constitute a significant current technology, attracting considerable research interest from various disciplines. Indeed, the wireless sensor technology is employed in emerging areas with high potential for scientific research, being used for biomedical, environmental or industrial applications. These applications generally require intelligent dense environment monitoring which generates important data volumes. Data collection and analysis need to deal with cooperation and coordination topics in order to prolong network lifetime and to provide useful, synthesized information for automation, decision making and support. Topology control, by means of clusters or groups, is another applied technique to overcome these challenging problems. The 1st International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks will focus on the research of developing collaboration infrastructures and solutions in the context of wireless sensors networks, aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners in these fields. In addition, the workshop will highlight recent innovative research results which will strengthen the formal foundation of this emerging area. This workshop is to be held as part of the 2008 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS08). Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to): - Data and Resource Sharing in Sensors Networks - Collaborative Data Management on Large Scale - Distributed Sensors Architectures - Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks - Interfacing with Wireless/Mobile Systems - Routing and Data Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks - Group Collaboration in Sensor Networks - Visualization Techniques and Visual Languages for Collaborative Sensor Networks - Multi-sensor Data Fusion - Methods for Ad Hoc Deployment - Algorithms for Sensor Localization and Tracking of Mobile Users - Energy Issues and In-Situ Calibration Methods - Performance Evaluation of Distributed Sensor Networks - Trust and Security Issues in Distributed Collaborative Sensor Systems - Intelligent Sensor Technologies and Applications - Applications Enabled by Collaborative Sensor Network Architectures SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite papers reporting original and unpublished research work on above and any other related topics from researchers in academia and industry.
