!!!! DEADLINE EXTENDED to September 25 !!!! **** MMSys 2010 **** Call For Papers ACM Multimedia Systems 2010 February 22-23, 2010 Scottsdale, Arizona www.mmsys.org Important Dates: * September 25, 2009 - Full Paper Submission Deadline Submit papers via EDAS here: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8151 * November 1, 2009 - Notification of Acceptance * December 1, 2009 - Final Paper Due * February 22, 2010 - Conference Over the years, ACM SIG Multimedia has received numerous requests to create a multimedia systems conference, targeted at the systems aspects of handling audio, image, video, and graphics data. 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MONET SI on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" Datum: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:19:14 +0100 Von: Shu, Lei <lei.shu(a)deri.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" * http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are interested in the following communication issues: *Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication” defines the communication directly relates to the user with the radio coverage of about 2 meters, which consists of two categories: (1) the communication among the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body or planted inside the body, as well as attached within in the human’s clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. *Inter-BSN communication: The terminology of “inter-BSN communication” defines the communication between the personal server and one or multiple access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of infrastructure, or strategically placed in dynamic environment for handling emergency situation. The inter-BSN communication will interconnect BSNs with the wide range networks which are easy to be accessed in daily life. *Beyond-BSN communication: The beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect BSN with outside world, which enhances the application and coverage range of body sensor system a step further through pervasive communication technology, such as internet and cellular networks. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications - Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues - Ambulatory monitoring and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications - Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms. - Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors - Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications - Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring - MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication - Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks - Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling - Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration - Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion - Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks - Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis - Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach - Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks - Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks - Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates 􀁹 Manuscript submission deadline: Feb. 20, 2010 􀁹 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2010 􀁹 Submission of final revised paper: July 20, 2010 􀁹 Publication of special issue: 3rd or 4th Quarter, 2010 (Tentative) Submission Procedure Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format at the journal site: http://www.springerlink.com/content/101750/ .

============================================================================ IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on "Future Internet: New Applications and Emerging Services" (http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0710.html) ============================================================================ Background The Internet has been successfully deployed for several decades due to its high flexibility in running over different physical mediums and supporting different high layer protocols and applications including traditional file transfer, e-mail, and client-server based web applications. Meanwhile, we have witnessed the unprecedented development and growth of new applications and services in recent years ranging from peer-to-peer (P2P) based applications, image and video applications, location-based services, secured transactions, online hosting services, machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions, and cloud computing. These new applications and emerging services have, in different degree, demanded better than the current best-effort quality of service. The future Internet is expected to be more agile, scalable, secure and reliable, which has been considered and pursued in research projects such as NSF FIND (Future Internet Design) and GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) programs in the United States, and EIFFEL (Evolved Internet Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet Research and Experimentation - Strategy Works) projects in Europe. Such ever-emerging applications with different requirements and implications for the future Internet design pose a significantly new set of problems and challenges, which are not well understood, specifically : 1) how can they be efficiently provisioned in the future Internet? 2) how can the future Internet be evolved and/or re-designed possible with radical changes to cater for new applications and services? The goal of this special issue is to feature recent and emerging Internet applications and services, their performance, impact, demands and implications for future Internet design. Scope Papers should contain substantial tutorial content and be accessible to a general audience of researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Peer-to-peer applications including file transfer, live video streaming and VoD *Utility computing, cloud computing, cloud storage networks *Online hosting services *E-commerce, secured transactions *Mobile services, location-based services *New service provisioning, quality of service issues *Impact on backbone and ISP design. Submission Guidelines This special issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Network author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html for information about content and formatting of submissions. The manuscripts must be written in a tutorial manner and in English. Please submit a PDF version of complete papers including a cover letter with author contact information via e-mail to FutureInternetSI(a)GMAIL.COM before the deadline. Important Dates Submissions deadline: December 15, 2009 Author notifications: March 1, 2010 Final manuscripts due: May 1, 2010 Expected publication date: July 2010 Guest Editors Bo Li Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Email: bli(a)cse.ust.hk Haibo Lin Huawei Tech.
