by Boris Koldehofe 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

CALL FOR PAPERS: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09) Collocated with KiVS 09 in Kassel, Germany http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vs/gsn09 March 6th, 2009 WORKSHOP SCOPE Global sensor networks (GSN) are an emergent research area aiming to offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale of billions of sensing devices. While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages).

IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (T-ITB) CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare Starting in the 1960s emotion and affective phenomenon research has entered an Emotion Renaissance era due to new findings establishing the universality of emotions across the human species along with their evolutionary adaptive and functional role in 'rational' intelligence (e.g. memory, decision-making), social intelligence (e.g. communication, adaptation). In the past decade, additional studies such as the one related in Descarte's Error (Damasio, 1994), revealed surprising results about the nervous system organization, suggesting that emotions and affective processes might play an even more important role in intelligence, health recovery and prevention, and overall well-being than ever suspected. These findings on emotions and affects from psychology, neuroscience and sociology call for innovation in information and communications technology for enabling, and facilitating intelligent interpretation of affective health data; decision support systems for diagnostic, computer assisted health care; remote guidance and virtual reality applications in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; privacy security and trust necessary for user acceptance of technologies; human-computer interfacing and usability engineering; novel patient modelling; and multimodal intelligent affective user interfaces. This special issue will focus on the novel and practical ways, and solid contributions, to improve affective computing and pervasive technologies. We welcome papers that focus on novel applications of wireless telemedicine,of embedded sensor and actuators for affective processing, novel user interfaces and patient-modeling for use by caregivers and/or patients in a variety of health care domains, virtual reality and virtual environments for phychotherapeutic diagnostic, treatment, and support/assistance coaching. We also encourage surveys of available technologies, and reporting on user experiences. Papers that do not focus on affective social processing for healthcare and applications will not be reviewed. Specific interests are in (but not limited to) the following areas: . Network architectures for wireless telemedicine . Mobile service platform for continuity of healthcare . Privacy and security in affective/pervasive healthcare . Wireless and pervasive networks for telemedicine . Autonomic wireless sensor networks . Body area networks . Affective Signal processing techniques * Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring of affect-relevant events * Multimodal integration and fusion for contextual information processing for health care systems * Actuators, prompters, and virtual environments/characters for rehabilitation and behavior modification * Social Intelligent orthotics * Privacy architectures for affective medical records * Issues in healthcare technology standards, interoperability, security, usability, cost, ethics and privacy, etc * Emotional and social context awareness * Context-awareness user-modeling for healthcare * Implementation and design issues for human-centered socially intelligent user-interfaces * User acceptance issues and challenges (patients and caregivers) Manuscripts must be prepared according to the format of the IEEE Transactions ( http://bme.ee.cuhk.edu.hk/TITB/) and electronically submitted to Manuscript Central (http://embs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/). In submitting indicate that the paper is intended for the Special Issue on Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare.

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 (smartphones, 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.

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. In 2009 ARCS will be hosted by the Delft University of Technology, which has one of the leading information technology schools in Europe. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Paper submission ================ 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.
