14 Sep '09

Call for Papers für die Teilkonferenz Automotive Services (AS2010) der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2010, Automotive Services 2010 Der zunehmende Einsatz von softwarebasierten System im Auto ermöglicht nicht nur die erleichterte Entwicklung kritischer Systeme, sondern stellt auch eine Infrastruktur für neuartige Software und Services bereit. Diese technische Basis erlaubt im Gegensatz zu anderen mobilen Anwendungen, die Verwendung umfangreicherer Ressourcen wie Rechenleistung, Bedienelemente und Darstellungsraum. Gleichzeitig spielt dabei jedoch die Sicherheit des Fahrers und die Richtung der Aufmerksamkeit bei der Nutzung solcher mobiler Applikationen im Fahrzeug eine kritische Rolle. Die Implementierung solch neuer Dienste kann nur Bedingt auf bestehende technische Systeme zur Entwicklung zurückgreifen. Für viele Anwendungsgebiete sind neue Werkzeuge und Konzepte erforderlich, welche eine schnelle Umsetzung, die angemessene Bedienung und die Integration in Backendsysteme erlauben. Die inhaltliche Konzeption, Ausgestaltung und Erbringung speziell von mobilen Diensten im Auto birgt große Herausforderungen. Dies umfasst neben der strategischen Ebene insbesondere auch neue Aspekte beim technischen Entwicklungsprozess. Auf der einen Seite muss die Integration neuer Akteure wie Content oder Service Provider berücksichtigt werden, während auf der anderen Seite neue Geschäftsmodelle und Wertschöpfungsketten eine Herausforderung darstellen können. Dieses neue Einsatzfeld macht in vielen Fällen zudem die Evaluation der Innovationen zum Nachweis der Wirtschaftlichkeit notwendig. Diese Konferenz setzt die erfolgreiche Konferenz zu Automotive Services (AS2008) in München mit dem Ziel fort, ökonomische, prozessorale und technische Aspekte der Dienstentwicklung und -umsetzung im Auto weiter zu beleuchten und wieder Ansatzpunkte zum Erfahrungsaustausch zu bieten. Weiterführende Ressourcen und Informationen zu früheren Veranstaltungen rund um die Teilkonferenz Automotive Services erhalten Sie unter: http://www.automotive-services.org/ Mögliche Themen für Beiträge: Das Themenspektrum der Automotive Services umfasst folgende Punkte, ist jedoch nicht darauf beschränkt: A) Technische Schwerpunkte * Anforderungen an mobile Anwendungen im Automobil * Konzeption und Prototyping * Basistechnologien, Infrastrukturen, Plattformen und Standards der Umsetzung * Benutzerschnittstellen und Bedienkonzepte B) Betriebswirtschaftliche Schwerpunkte * Neuartige Geschäftsmodelle und Potentiale im After-Sales Bereich * Modularisierung von Diensten & Dienstleistungen * Content und Service Management * Wertschöpfungsketten und Geschäftsmodelle * Wirtschaftlichkeit mobiler Dienste C) Querschnittsthemen * Modelle und Strategien in der Entwicklung und im Betrieb * Integration von Diensten in den Entwicklungsprozess * Akteure der Dienstentwicklung und des -betriebs * Umgesetzte Dienste und ihr Umfeld *Evaluation (insb.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09: Deadline 30/9 Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:09:45 +0200 Von: Evgeny Osipov <Evgeny.Osipov(a)ltu.se> Organisation: LTU An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) CALL FOR PAPERS DWSAN4CIP 2009 International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip November 10, 2009, Madrid, Spain Organized by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) Datum: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:49:28 -0400 Von: Dr. Isaac Woungang <iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-10), Perth, Australia, April 20-23, 2010 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON10/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts the following website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won10 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: Nov 01, 2009 Author Notification: Dec 01, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 15, 2010 Workshop Date: 20 April 2010 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee Members (To be determined) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
