Call For Papers JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN HEALTHCARE PUBLICATION DATE: April 2011 With the emerging technologies of wireless communication, Healthcare systems can be significantly improved with lower cost and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and impacts to the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing interests in the public and have attracted large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. For wireless healthcare system assisted with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), the medical sensors implanted on/in body gather patients’ health information and transmit the private health information through heterogeneous wireless networks such as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and Wireless Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), in order for the patients to receive high quality healthcare services remotely on time regardless of patients’ physical location. However, this new form of healthcare system also poses critical requirements to traditional wireless networks and has promoted a promising research area recently. Challenges facing the wireless communications in healthcare systems include: definition of healthcare policy and legal issues towards potential new applications; the design of architectures among wireless communications for supporting safe and reliable signal propagation with low network latency; emergency response and detection; the need for privacy preservation of patients. This special issue aims at reporting the state-of-the-art research on emerging wireless technologies and applications in healthcare, highlighting research challenges and open issues and bringing together researchers and medical professionals from the academia, industry and government with the goal of fostering collaboration among them. Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles, reflecting those aspects of wireless communication research in healthcare distinctly different from wireless communication research in general are encouraged. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to:  Multiple access control protocol design  QoS provisioning  Energy-efficient algorithms  Unique middleware for enabling medical applications  Emergency response applications  Remote tactile sensors for remote diagnosis  Mobile patient monitoring devices and systems  Interactive and real-time WBANs systems  Security, privacy and legal issues  Policy and Standardization Continuing JCN’s tradition of fast turnaround together with full peer reviews, a tentative schedule is set as follows: September 30, 2010 Electronic manuscript (.ps or .pdf) submission to JCN website December 10, 2010 Reviews returned to authors.

Therefore, the linkage between applications, platforms and users through multi-disciplinary user requirements (like security, privacy, usability, efficiency, safety, semantic and pragmatic interoperability of data and services, dependability, trust and self-adaptivity) becomes of special interest. It is envisaged that future complex applications will far exceed those of today in terms of these requirements. The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contributions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale and complex distributed applications and services that are related to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms. DAIS'10 is the 10th event in a series of successful international conferences which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [Green Communications] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine SI on Green Communications Datum: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:32:38 +0800 Von: Honggang Zhang <honggangzhang(a)zju.edu.cn> Organisation: Zhejiang Univeristy, China An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP) IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications" The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses. If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a myriad of communications and information technologies have already been exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow. To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum). This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following: . Energy-efficient circuit and device . Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies . Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking . Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks . Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking . Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing . Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks . Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy consumption . Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks . Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement . Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks . Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management . Harvesting distributed energy generation . Smart Grid . Information theory on energy efficiency . Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks . Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies . Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring) . Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications and future evolution . Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices, including life cycle assessment . Regulation and standardization . Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications (e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells) Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html <http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> .

Email: aderhab(a)mail.cerist.dz, Tel: +213 772 50 59 50. http://abdelouahid.derhab.googlepages.com Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment and to collect the relevant data. For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guideline and publication Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

Due to the dynamic and ubiquitous nature of this content (and associated descriptors), new interesting challenges for indexing, access, and search and retrieval have arisen. In addition, there is a growing concern on privacy protection, as a lot of personal data is being exchanged. Teenagers (and even younger kids), for example, require special protection applications; while adults are willing to have a higher control over the access to content. Furthermore, the integration of mobile technologies with the Web 2.0 applications is also an interesting area of research that needs to be addressed; not only in terms of content protection, but also considering the implementation of new and enriched context-aware applications. Finally, social multimedia is also expected to improve the performance of traditional multimedia information search and retrieval approaches by contributing to bridge the semantic gap. The integration of these aspects, however, is not trivial and has created a new interdisciplinary area of research. In any case, there is a common issue that needs to be addressed in all the previously identified social multimedia applications: the interoperability and extensibility of their applications. Thus, the workshop is particularly interested in research contributions based on standards. It is the 10th International Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community: http://www.multimedia-metadata.info/ Topics: ======= Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Privacy in social networks * Access control in social networks * Social media analysis * Social media retrieval * Context-awareness in social networks * Mobile applications scenario * Social networks ontologies and interoperability * Security and privacy ontologies * Content distribution over social networks * Multimedia ontologies and interoperability * Multimedia search and retrieval * Semantic metadata management * Collaborative tagging * Interaction between access control and privacy policies * Social networks and policy languages * Policy management Important Dates: ================ * Submission due (all papers): 28th February 2010 * Workshop date: 19th-20th May 2010 * Workshop venue: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona (Spain) Contributions: ============== We invite the following types of contributions: Research Papers: Papers should describe original and significant work in the research and industrial practice of related topics.
