27 Jan '09

[Please distribute to your colleagues, apologies for multiple copies] Workshop on during IEEE ICME 2009 Multimedia Aspects in Pervasive Healthcare July 3, 2009 Hilton Cancun, Cancun, Mexico in conjunction with 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) Workshop webpage: http://multimedia.utdallas.edu/mmph09/index.html) ----------------- Workshop Scope: --------------- Human health and performance are broad terms that describe the quality of life but are difficult to quantify. Human health can be broadly identified by two components: physical health and mental health. While there is no "official" definition for mental health (considering cultural differences and subjective assessments), physical health is typically attributed to health of various body organs including muscles, bones, and joints. Human performance can be considered as "focused behavior" or "purposeful work" and hence performance is typically domain specific such as sports performance, or performance of a physically challenged person. Recent advances in various technologies for medical sensors, computing, and wireless communication have resulted in monitoring, tracking, and quantifying the physical health. Providing ubiquitous health care and performance monitoring have thus become feasible, affordable, and in many cases indispensable. The proposed workshop will be multi-disciplinary, focusing on innovations in information processing and system aspects of health care and performance. The topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to: * Information processing aspects of human health and performance - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Programming models and languages * Body sensor networks: Systems and Technology - Novel communication techniques and protocols - In-vivo, on-body, near-body networks - Location, time, and other network services - Network health monitoring and management - Performance modeling * System design issues of Medical Digital Devices - Operating systems and runtime environments - Power - Reliability and fault-tolerance * Assistive Technologies for aged and disabled - Longitudinal studies showing impact on health care and performance * Security and privacy, including HIPAA for medical applications * HCI/Wearable Computing for Medical Applications - Social impacts - Usability - Brain Computer Interactions - Wearable system design issues - Entertainment * Medical Applications - Pervasive health care and patient monitoring within hospitals and other healthcare delivery settings in residential and other non healthcare delivery settings - Prosthetics and other novel medical applications We will have a special issue based on this workshop in a leading journal.

Workshop Announcement: WETICE2009 is announcing its workshops for participation in Gronigen, Netherlands, (June 29 - July 1st) www.WETICE.org It's first workshop in collaboration and cloud computing will focus on emerging excitement in Cloud Computing www.workshop.kawaobjects.com While current advances in cloud computing are commercially motivated and initiated by various service providers that different from conventional telecom or IP service providers, there is a body of experience from the academia, traditional telecommunications and IP service providers that can accelerate cloud deployment. We would like to solicit participation from not only current cloud computing pioneers but also challenge the academics and traditional computing and communications industry participants to bring their expertise and know-how to suggest innovative and open approach that can benefit cloud evolution. It is our belief that the telecommunication network and the Internet which are globally scalable and interoperable were made possible with collaboration from academics, industry and the creation of global standard bodies such as ITU and ITEF. Just as the telecommunication network connected billions of people to communicate with each other, and the Internet connected millions of computers, PCs and mobile devices to exchange multimedia content, the next generation clouds will enable social networks allowing hundreds of thousands of developers to create millions of services to reach billion of users. For the clouds to be interoperable and globally scalable, new innovation is necessary that brings new distributed computing models that are network centric and incorporates FCAPS management. Many lessons learned in many disciplines need to be brought together to accelerate the cloud evolution with open, vendor independent and technology agnostic collaboration frameworks. This workshop will sow the seed for the collaboration required. Papers reporting original work, work-in-progress, doctoral research proposals, descriptions of systems, and review papers are solicited from the academia, and the computer and telecommunication industries. All papers will be refereed by at least two experts in the area.

21 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:13:24 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal.
