WSNs are supposed to run long-lived applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the expense of significant energy consumption or through software complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for reprogramming themselves after their deployment. The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in embedded and ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Re-configurable, adaptive applications * Context-awareness * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization * Agents and distributed computing * Embedded Virtual machines * Viral programming * Opportunistic computing * Intelligent power management and coverage * Adaptive wireless communication and networks * Security and fault-tolerance --------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers will be reviewed according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at the workshop's website. --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: April 15, 2009 Authors Notification: May 25, 2009 Camera-ready Paper due: June 15, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP CHAIRS Marco Avvenuti, University of Pisa, Italy (m.avvenuti(a)iet.unipi.it) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy (a.vecchio(a)iet.unipi.it) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Rachel Cardell-Oliver, The University of Western Australia, Australia Mario Giovanni C.A.

by Jacob Sorber 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Final Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/<http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/%7Esorber/mobisysforum09/> Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 15 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Special Issue PIK on “Mobile Ad-hoc-Networks” Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:50:31 +0100 Von: Matthias Frank <matthew(a)CS.UNI-BONN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: Institute of Computer Science IV, University of Bonn An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sicher haben Sie in der vergangenen Woche bei der KiVS 2009 in Kassel bereits die Auslage bzw. die Umschlagrückseite der PIK-Ausgabe 1/09 bemerkt. Falls Sie nicht vor Ort waren, möchten wir Sie anbei über einen Call for Papers für eine Special Issue PIK on „Mobile Ad-hoc Networks“ informieren. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Matthias Frank, Frank Kargl, Burkhard Stiller ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= You can find a PDF version of the CfP at http://wman2009.cs.uni-bonn.de/ (direct link http://wman2009.cs.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/user_upload/matthew/CfP-Special-Is…) ================================================================= Call for Paper Special Issue PIK on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks PIK IV/2009 Scope of the Special Issue Recently, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) researchers show a large interest in application and application-oriented protocol research. While the basic organization of routing has been addressed since a couple of years, more recent activities include auto-configuration, security and data privacy, integration into hybrid networks, or efficient use of various resources, such as bandwidth, energy, or memory. Furthermore, the focus is shifted towards specific environments like vehicular networks, mesh networks, or wireless sensor networks. Whereas research on generic MANETs always struggled with unclear operational conditions, a myriad of protocols and applications is designed in these specialized areas. However, the goal still must be to generalize these approaches to provide for broader ranges of MANETs. It is the goal of this special issue to present approaches and solutions in a wide variety of MANET-related domains in order to enable this generalization and transfer ideas between the different areas. Therefore, this special issue of the PIK magazine covers ongoing research on the lower radio transmission layer all the way up to the application layer relevant in MANETs. Furthermore, dedicated application scenarios, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communications, disaster recovery or emergency services are of high interest. Tutorial-style articles in these fields are also solicited, if they provide a structured introduction and overview of state-of-the-art technologies, mechanisms, or architectures. Areas of Interest Contributions in the following areas are of specific interest but are not limited to: • Multi-hop wireless networks • Infrastructure-less networks • Mesh networks • Inter-Vehicular-Communication (IVC, V2X, C2X) • Wireless sensor networks • Underwater sensor networks • Use of cognitive radio • Use of software defined radio • Ad-hoc Networking architectures and protocols • Applications and application scenarios for ad-hoc networks (e.g. disaster recovery, emergency services, ..) • Routing mechanisms • Scalability and simulations • Energy efficiency • QoS for ad-hoc networks • Self-configuration and self-organization in ad-hoc networks • Auto-configuration and addressing • Security, privacy, and data protection in ad-hoc networks • Software platforms (middleware) for mobile applications • Location-based services and their deployment • Context management for ad-hoc services • Pricing models and accounting schemes for commercial ad-hoc services • Management mechanisms of ad-hoc networks Important Information Authors should send their submissions (German or English language) in PDF format only and by e-mail to Matthias Frank (matthew(a)cs.uni-bonn.de). The submission should not exceed 6 pages (one page of the PIK format equals approximately 6000 characters excluding figures). All submissions will be peer-reviewed. In case of an acceptance, the final and camera-ready version of the article has to take into account all comments of those reviews received. Important Dates Submission Deadline: April 30, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: July 6, 2009 Final Version: September 30, 2009 Publication: PIK issue IV/2009 (publication early January 2010) Guest Editors Matthias Frank, Universität Bonn, Germany: <matthew(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> Frank Kargl, Universität Ulm, Germany: <frank.kargl(a)uni-ulm.de> Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich, Switzerland: <stiller(a)ifi.uzh.ch>

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call for Papers: MobiArch 2009 (co-located with ACM MobiSys) Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:14:15 +0200 Von: Joerg Ott <jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) ----------------------------------------------------- Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Krakow, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design * Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues * Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design * Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 15 March 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Joerg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia For more information, contact workshop co-chairs at mobiarch-chairs(a)informatik.uni-goettingen.de. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Re: [GAMESNETWORK] Fwd: Call for Papers - 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming
by Holger Mügge 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

For those of you who do not speak/write german: We also appreciate english contributions (papers, demos, presentations). Deadline: April, 26th, 2009 I append the full english CFP here, too. Thanks, Holger ENGLISH CFP FOLLOWS: 39. Annual Meeting of the „Gesellschaft für Informatik“ (GI) – Lübeck, Germany, 2009 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Motivation Mobile games are based on the physical movements of players in a game- world that combines the real world with virtual dimensions. Mobile games unite two game-worlds that were previously mutually exclusive: classic outdoor games and computer games. But they are also games in the traditional sense as “homo sapiens” has always been a “homo ludens”. Games are part of the every day life, just like eating, breathing, or sleeping. They allow us to try the impossible. We use game rules to voluntarily confine the game space, and then roam this space to imaginatively overcome the limits of reality. But apart from being a pastime, games also mirror the real world and so they can be used to play-test life. Over the centuries, games evolved with the intellectual and technical possibilities of mankind. The prehistory of mobile games began in the 1980s with Nintendo’s handheld “Game & Watch” electronic games. The early 1990s saw the advent of the “Gameboy”, which introduced exchangeable cartridges to the video games mass market. At the turn of the millennium, the Japanese I-Mode network pioneered mobile data services and thus opened the door for mobile games that used the wireless Internet for communication. On 1 May 2000, the US government announced the discontinuation of the artificial degradation of GPS signals for non- military users. This marks the end of the prehistory and the dawning of mobile games in our sense. The first such mobile game was Geocaching, where participants use GPS coordinates that they obtained over the Internet to search for small treasures that were hidden by other players. In 2003, Nokia introduced the N-Gage, which was a GPRS-enabled smart-phone with an integrated game-console. Due to its GPRS data-service, it allowed for wide-area multiplayer games that were connected via a central server. At the same time, it also allowed proximity based multiplayer games via Bluetooth communication. Research project began to sprout world-wide in conjunction with all these technological developments. These projects set out to exploit the new possibilities and developed context-aware and location-based applications that used the new wireless positioning and communication technologies in various ways and thus advanced the field in which mobile games are grounded. Mobile games utilise mobile and pervasive technology. Small and portable devices are equipped with sensors and models of their environments that allow them to sense their current context, which includes location, and act according to this input. Thus, from a technological point of view, mobile games are part of the field of ubiquitous computing. Goals and research questions Mobile games open up a wide range of research and developments questions from a multitude of perspectives, including the conceptual, the aesthetic and the technical. They require research into new types of games and experiences, their concepts and design strategies, as well as into the technical domain. Researchers around the world utilise the human intellect of mobile gamers to test prototypes of new interfaces for human-computer interaction, infrastructures, and design concepts in order to advance the new technologies. Games define their own rules – this opens up a truly unique field for research into ideas and technologies. The context of mobile games also provides opportunities for research into the individual and social processes that circumvent the use of information technology. Game design faces new challenges. Until now, only a few games exploited the possibilities offered by augmented and mixed reality, global networks, location services and various sensors. Theory and methods of analysis of the player experience in mobile games are still in its infancy. What is the meaning of mobility and physical movement in these mixed reality game-worlds? How to analyse the experience of mobile players that are roaming the area rather than sitting in a laboratory? What is the role of game communities and cultures for mobile games? Design and development of mobile games confronts us with the grand challenges of ubiquitous computing: the complexity of mobile, distributed services, its dynamic and ever changing contexts, the diversity of participants, and the interaction in a post-desktop paradigm which entails the body, various senses and modalities. The technological diversity of hardware and software needs to be bridged so that mobile gamers can interact across device boundaries. The rapidly evolving diversity of sensors, actuators and user-interfaces demands for flexible frameworks that allow for an easy integration. This workshop contributes to revealing the research and development possibilities offered by mobile games, and has a particular focus on the German science and industry sectors. Researchers and developers can use this field to exchange their experiences, formulate new research questions, identify innovation potential, and find ways to improve the business environment and leverage the potentials offered by this exciting new field of research. Addressees This workshop is primarily targeted at users, developers, researchers and decision makers in the field of mobile games, who are interested in creative and innovative applications for pervasive and ubiquitous computing. In addition to this, the workshops also seeks to address people beyond the field of computer science, who are fascinated and inspired by the technical possibilities offered by mobile games and want to give growth to their own ideas. Topics Contributions to the workshop can be either technical papers or position statements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mobile games in the everyday life Context of mobile games Mobile game experiences and activities Mobile gamer as producer Alternate reality games Traditional games and mobile games Serious games – learning, testing, creating value in a serious context Interfaces and interaction techniques for mobile games Augmented and mixed reality for mobile games Development processes and architectures for mobile games Authoring systems for mobile games Complexity of hard- and software – problems and solutions Exploiting technical boundaries Dates Submission deadline: 26.04.2009 Notification of acceptance: 25.05.2009 Final submission: 01.07.2009 Organisers Pascal Bihler, Universität Bonn Barbara Grüter, Hochschule Bremen Holger Mügge, Universität Bonn Leif Oppermann, Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham Program committee Linda Breitlauch, MediaDesign Hochschule Düsseldorf Gregor Broll, LMU München Wolfgang Broll, Fraunhofer FIT, St. Augustin Armin B. Cremers, Universität Bonn Julian Kücklich, University of the Arts London Peter Möckel, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Berlin Horst Pohlmann, Fachhochschule Köln Albrecht Schmidt, Universität Duisburg-Essen Clemens Türck, Ravensburger Spieleverlag, Ravensburg Steffen P. Walz, ETH Zürich Andreas Weber, Universität Bonn Form of contributions The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research, results and practical hands-on experiences. The thematic focus of the workshop is on mobile games and other (cooperative) applications of a similar character that take location and context, as well as the players’ mobility as an important design parameter. Apart from presentation of research results, we also envisage to include demonstrations of innovative mobile games, as well as discussion rounds on controversial topics. We therefore welcome the following kind of contributions to the workshop: Research papers Demos of prototypes of mobile games or authoring systems Outlines of theses / disputes (short, concise, informal) Contributions can be made either in German or English language. Submissions have to adhere to LNI guidelines and can be up to 6 pages long. LNI guidelines and templates for Word and Latex can be found here. The proceedings are printed in black and white. In case that you are using colour figures, please ensure that they do not loose their meaning without colours. Workshop contributions should be submitted in electronic form via the conference system. A link to this system is provided on the workshop homepage. Accepted contributions will be published in the joint printed proceedings of the annual GI meeting as part of the GI-series “Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)”.
