-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Fri, 15 May 2009 10:44:38 +0300 Von: Eleftherios Mamatas <emamatas(a)ee.duth.gr> An: Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br [apologies for multiple-postings] ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE 12-14 October 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references, and appendices.

From providing rich connectivity to realizing sensory and actuary applications, WLNs serve a wide range of applications. In its 9th year, the WLN workshop would like to focus on how such networks can be made to be energy efficient and cost effective, while maintaining high levels of service delivery quality. It is hence our aim to focus on both design and implementation aspects in networks that are sustainable, or that can be utilized to in making sustainable system.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: SeamIx@Home: Workshop on Seamless Interaction in Ambient Assisted Homes Datum: Thu, 14 May 2009 14:44:47 +0200 Von: Wilko Heuten <heuten(a)offis.de> An: Wilko Heuten <Wilko.Heuten(a)offis.de> We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== International Workshop on Seamless Interaction in Ambient Assisted Homes (SeamIx@Home) 2009 http://seamix09.offis.de In conjunction with Mensch und Computer 2009 September 06-09, 2009 Berlin, Germany (http://www.hu-berlin.de/mc2009) ====================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: June 12, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: July 03, 2009 Camera-Ready Papers & Registration: July 13, 2009 SeamIx@Home 2009: September 06-09, 2009 ====================================================================== THEME OF THE WORKSHOP Borderless free - the motto of the “Mensch and Computer 2009” - is an inherent need and desire of elderly persons with their special needs to achieve a fulfilled and independent living at home. Besides structural alterations of the own home, ICT can provide significantly increase comfort, safety, health, and well-being at home. What is needed is assistance in the management of everyday activities in the home environment. Supporting persons in their own homes in their daily living in a seamless and helpful fashion is one of the big challenges of ambient assisted homes. The objective is to improve the quality of life in the golden age with new technologies. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and with it ambient assisted homes include methods, concepts, (electronic) systems, devices as well as services that are providing unobtrusive support for daily life based on context and the situation of the assisted person. For ambient assisted homes traditional means for user interface development as known from desktop computing is often not suitable as many other conditions have an influence on the design in this context. One essential need in ambient assisted homes is seamless interaction, which is integrated into the immediate personal environment of the user. Novel user interfaces need to react intelligently to the user's situation, interaction and goals in a coherent way. Focus of this workshop is the design of novel seamless user interfaces in ambient assisted homes. We invite researchers from different areas computer science, psychology, nursing care, gerontology, geriatrics, and rehabilitation medicine to submit original results in the design, development, and evaluation of seamless interaction methods but also relevant experience reports and case studies that will contribute to future ambient assisted homes. Scenarios addressed include support for the daily tasks in the personal household, monitoring and prevention in home-based rehabilitation sport, assessment of activity, social interaction, as well as prevention and detection of emergency situations. ====================================================================== TOPICS Topics of the workshop lie in the area of seamless interaction for ambient assisted homes. We encourage submissions presenting the design, development, and evaluation of seamless interaction methods but also relevant experience reports and case studies that will contribute to future ambient assisted homes. Possible research themes include: * Multimodal and ambient interaction design for the elderly * Usability and accessibility engineering for seamless interaction * Results of user studies and evaluations of interacting in ambient assisted homes * Methods to evaluate ambient assisted home applications * Social, ethical and privacy related aspects of ambient assisted homes * Development of interactive healthcare systems for ambient assisted homes * Sensors and sensor fusion for context acquisition in ambient assisted homes * Architectures for seamless interaction in ambient assisted homes We encourage two types of submissions: (1) Research papers describing original research work which focuses on one or more of the workshop's topics, and (2) Experience reports and case studies from ambient assisted home living labs. We strongly encourage student papers, which may also report work in progress. ====================================================================== SUBMISSION OF PAPERS We kindly invite authors to submit original and unpublished papers until June 12, 2009. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages (corresponds to ~4 pages ACM two column style) for short papers and 20 pages (corresponds to ~7 pages ACM two column style) for long papers respectively in length and follow the template of the publisher of the University of Oldenburg - BIS-Verlag. Papers may be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to fully register for 'Mensch und Computer 2009' and present the paper on-site. ====================================================================== ORGANIZERS Susanne Boll, University of Oldenburg, Germany Wilko Heuten, OFFIS – Institute for Information Technology, Germany Peter van Hengel, Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), Germany Bernd Krieg-Brückner, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) Bremen, Germany ====================================================================== PC MEMBERS Sahin Albayrak, DAI Labor, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany Marco Eichelberg, OFFIS – Institut für Informatik, Germany Jens Appell, Fraunhofer Institut Digitale Medientechnologie (IDMT), Germany Reinhold Haux, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany Andreas Hein, Universität Oldenburg, Germany Andreas Holzinger, Medical University Graz, Austria Markus Meis, HörTech / Hörzentrum Oldenburg, Germany Paul Panek, CEIT RALTEC – Forschungsinstitut Rehabilitation und Assisted Living Technologien, Schwechat / Living Lab Schwechat / Technische Universität Wien, Austria Herbert Plischke, Peter-Schilffarth-Institut für Soziotechnologie gemeinnützige GmbH, Germany Christian Ressel, Fraunhofer Institut Mikroelektronische Schaltungen und Systeme (IMS) / Fraunhofer inHaus-Zentrum, Germany Constanze Weiland, Siemens C-LAB / Universität Paderborn, Germany ====================================================================== Susanne Boll, University of Oldenburg, Germany Wilko Heuten, OFFIS – Institute for Information Technology, Germany Peter van Hengel, Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), Germany Bernd Krieg-Brückner, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) Bremen, Germany -- Dr. Wilko Heuten Gruppenleiter Intelligente Nutzungsschnittstellen | Manager Intelligent User Interfaces Group OFFIS FuE Bereich Gesundheit | R&D Division Health Escherweg 2 - 26121 Oldenburg - Germany Phone/Fax: +49 441 9722-171/102 E-Mail: wilko.heuten(a)offis.de URL: http://www.offis.de
