This results into an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also in opening exciting research, development and business opportunities. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences. The event will enable information exchange and cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academy, research centers and industry through the organization of specific and interacting tracks related to: (i) technology, including wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the communication facility; (ii) services, in the vision of ?always on?requirement; (iii) business models, opportunities and solutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST (INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING) TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES - Wireless Communication Standards (IEEE 802.11x, Personal Area Networks, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15, Wireless USB, HiperLAN2, WiMAX) - Cellular Networks (2.5G, 3G, 3G LTE, LTE-A) - Ultra Wide Band - Next Generation Networks - Lightweight Devices Architecture (smart phones, PDAs) - Internetworking & Interoperability - Protocol Stack Design (Layering, Cross-layering) - Performance Evaluation and Optimization - Service-Oriented Architectures - Cognitive Radios and Networks SERVICES - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive Multimedia - Voice and Voice over IP - Usability and HMI - Location Services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and Next Generation Services BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS - Architectures Deployment - Service Provisioning - Value-Added Services - Business Models - Next Generation Lightweight Devices - Industry Perspectives and Market Evolution - Users Needs and Requirements - Available and Emerging Solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer-review.

CfP: First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon '09)
by Frank Dürr 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

**************************** Call for Papers *************************** First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon '09) http://www.quacon09.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/ 25 - 26 June, 2009 Stuttgart, Germany ************************************************************************ Advances in sensor technology, wireless communication, and mobile devices lead to the proliferation of sensors in our physical environment. At the same time detailed digital models of buildings, towns, or even the globe become widely available. Integrating the huge amount of available sensor data into spatial models results in highly dynamic models of the real world, often called context models. A wide range of applications can substantially benefit from common context models. However, context data is inherently associated with uncertainty, which has to be taken into account by both context management systems and applications. Appropriate ontologies, models, and metrics are needed to specify the quality of context data, including aspects of degradation, consistency, and trust. Those concepts are needed on different levels of abstraction, including the raw sensor data, observable context, as well as the high-level context derived from other context information by means of reasoning techniques. In addition, methods and calculi are required to assess the quality of context data on various levels. For an integrated context-management approach a framework is needed that defines the appropriate abstraction levels and that provides quality mappings between these layers. Other important issues are application-specific quality concepts and methods to handle uncertain context data. If context data is to be presented to human users, appropriate visualizing techniques are required to present the data together with its quality assessments. On the other hand, if applications specify what level of degradation they accept, this information can be used to optimize context management by means of suitable relaxation techniques. Research in context management and in particular context quality requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, the QuaCon Workshop aims to bring together researchers from various fields to discuss approaches to context quality and to make a consolidated contribution towards an integrated way of treating context quality. Topics covered by the workshop include the following: - Models for degradation and consistency of context data - Degradation, spatial ontologies and spatial data mining - Trust in context data - Methods and calculi for context quality assessment - Frameworks and metrics for context quality - Uncertainty in sensor data processing - Quality-aware algorithms for context management - Quality-aware event and stream processing - Uncertainty in reasoning on context data - Application-specific context quality and case studies - Visualization of context quality Submitted papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee, and accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series (pending approval). All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages and be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines [1]. Papers not adhering to these guidelines or the page limit are subject to rejection without review. The deadline for submitting the paper is January 31, 2009. For detailed submission instructions and further details please visit the QuaCon '09 website at http://www.quacon09.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de.

Our apologies for duplicate copies of this call ================================================================== Call for Papers 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (Tridentcom) April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA http://www.tridentcom.org/cfp.htm Paper submission deadline extended to: October 15, 2008 Workshop proposal deadline extended to: October 15, 2008 ================================================================== Sponsored by: ICST Technically co-Sponsored by: - CREATE-NET - IEEE Industial Electronics Society - IEEE Computer Society - ACM SIGARCH - Pan European Laboratory Infrastructure Implementation TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international testbed conferences. With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 15, 2008 Workshop proposal deadline: October 15, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI).

08 Oct '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. Call for Papers =============== 22nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems ARCS 2009 ============================================================================ - System Architecture and Energy Awareness - ============================================ held from March, 10th to March 13th in Delft, The Netherlands ============================================================= Extended Submission deadline October 19th ========================================= The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is put on energy awareness viewed from two different perspectives. Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy-efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (http://www.springer.com/lncs). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and a best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers on one of the following topics: * Energy-awareness, green computing. * Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing. * Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software. * Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power management, and RTOS. * System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware. * Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques. * Embedded systems including but not limited to architecture, communication, design methodologies, and applications. * Network Centric and Grid Computing issues with a focus on middleware.

Wireless sensor networks are aggregates of sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures. These new networks are having a significant impact (and promises to have even more) on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society and redefine the way in which we live and work. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers describing prototype and experimental implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Topology control - Power management and energy-efficient design - Time synchronization - Location management - Sensor networks with mobile elements - Cross-layer architectures - Intelligent sensor nodes - Security and dependability issues - Modelling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM).
