We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2010 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems * 3D and Multiview Streaming Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Short papers (3-6 pages) are also encouraged and will be evaluated for inclusion in a short-paper track. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons.

[MM-INTEREST] Web of Things 2010 (WoT 2010): Call for Papers
by Erik Wilde 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

First International Workshop on the Web of Things (WoT 2010) http://www.webofthings.com/wot/2010 Call for Papers In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010), Mannheim, Germany http://www.percom.org/ Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2009 Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009 Camera-ready papers due: January 29, 2010 Workshop date: March 29 or April 2, 2010 The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes over the past few years as real-world objects can now easily connect to the Internet. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges. The Internet of Things has mainly focused on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments, and the next logical step in the evolution in pervasive computing builds on top of network connectivity by focusing on the application layer: how to develop ubiquitous computing applications on top of heterogeneous devices? The Web of Things is the vision that brings embedded devices into the Web by using Web standards as application protocol to interact with things. This workshop aims at bringing together the pervasive computing and Web communities to explore the possibilities for using the core principles and technologies of modern Web architecture (e.g., HTTP, REST, Atom, JSON) for seamless integration of things into the Web and developing applications on top of web-enabled devices (physical mashups). Research contributions are solicited in the following areas: - Web-based interaction patters for embedded devices (streaming, eventing, etc.) - Applications, deployments, and evaluation of Web of things systems - Human-things interaction models and paradigms (mobile interfaces etc.) - User-oriented, context-aware discovery and dynamic search for the real world - Web composition and macro-programming models (e.g. mashups) - Semantic technologies for description of devices and services - Optimization methods for embedded Web servers and applications - Security, access control, and physical sharing of physical things on the Web Since this workshop is the first in this area, the goal is to develop a community in this area and provide an interactive forum for researchers to learn and discuss about existing efforts to enable cross-fertilization. Hence, we expect all attendees to read all workshop papers in advance and to prepare questions for each. Presentations shall specifically highlight and address similarities and differences wit other accepted papers. This will help to provide a forum to foster future collaboration, beyond the mere presentation of research results. In order to ensure a high-quality technical session, submissions must cover one of the topics above and should not exceed six (6) IEEE conference format pages. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere as they will be published on the IEEE Digital Library. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submission requires at least one author to fully register for PerCom 2010 and to present the paper on-site Organizers: Dominique Guinard, ETH Zurich and SAP Research Zurich Erik Wilde, UC Berkeley Vlad Trifa, ETH Zurich and SAP Research Zurich Program Committee: Gregor Broll, DOCOMO Communications, Germany Adam Dunkels, SICS, Sweden Martin Gaedke, University of Chemnitz, Germany Stamatis Karnouskos, SAP Research, Germany Gerd Kortuem, University of Lancaster, UK Marc Langheinrich, University of Lugano, Switzerland Thomas Luckenbach, Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS, Germany Friedemann Mattern, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Alexandros Marinos, University of Surrey, UK Rene Mayrhofer, University of Vienna, Austria Tatsuo Nakajima, Waseda University, Japan Benedikt Ostermaier, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland Dave Raggett, W3C, USA Michael Smith, W3C, Japan Vlad Stirbu, NOKIA, Finland Inaki Vazquez, University of Deusto, Spain Agnes Voisard, Fraunhofer ISST, Germany

[Tccc] Call for Papers: LOCAN 2009 (Submission Deadline September 01, 2009)
by Hannes Frey 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs. Important Dates --------------- Manuscript Submission: September 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: October 15, 2009 General Co-Chairs ----------------- David Simplot-Ryl, Univ. Lille 1 and INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Ivan Stojmenovic, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs ----------------- Nathalie Mitton, INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Xu Li, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Publicity Chair --------------- Hannes Frey, University of Paderborn, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] BuildSys deadline extended
by Adam Dunkels 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

================= - Due to several requests we are extending the deadline of the BuildSys workshop to August 27, 2009, 11:59 pm GMT - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ================= ================================================================================ C A L L F O R P A P E R S **** ACM BuildSys 2009 **** (In conjuction with ACM SenSys 2009) Berkeley California November 3 2009 (http://buildsys.ucd.ie/) ================================================================================ ACM BuildSyS 2009, "The First ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings". Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges in monitoring how the space is used, controlling devices, interfacing with smart energy meters and communicating with the energy grid. This includes developing energy efficient algorithms of control systems, integrating heterogeneous devices, personalizing and presenting data to generate energy awareness. These challenges include making sensed data available to any connected device, facilitating reasoning from multiple sources of data achieving global energy conservation over a combination of different systems, and devising control systems that support a multitude of network actuators. We solicit contributions that focus on the design of architectures that are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of particular interest is also the application of sensing and actuation technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to generate energy from federated small energy sources such as microgrids and local green energy sources. Successful papers will demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. We expect concise papers (max. 6 pages) presenting results from field trials, theoretical and practical issues of improving energy-efficiency in buildings by using embedded sensing systems written from both an academic and an industrial perspective.
