-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] SASO 2010: Call for Papers, Posters, Tutorials, Workshops Datum: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:37:03 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: KUVS-L <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE>, ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de>, gi3abs-l <gi3abs-l(a)listserv.uni-heidelberg.de>, mmb(a)ira.uka.de SASO 2010 Fourth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Budapest, Hungary, September 27-October 1, 2010 http://www.saso-conference.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Important Dates Abstract submission: April 19, 2010 Paper submission: April 26, 2010 Notification: June 28, 2010 Camera ready version of accepted papers: July 19, 2010 Early registration deadline: August 13, 2010 The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. The fourth edition of the SASO conference encourages submissions in both traditional themes of self-adaptivity and self-organization, as well as in emerging areas. Some of these new areas include (but are not limited to) Internet-enabled applications, cloud computing, social-networking, and the Internet of Things. These are enabling radically new and innovative services that will play an increasingly important role in society, business, and our day to day lives. The success of both new as well as traditional research areas ultimately depends on robust self-* hardware, software, networking, and services. Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. A challenge is often to identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and control the resulting global behavior. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: * Applications and experiences with self-* systems * Design and engineering for self-* systems (self-organization, self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems Submission Instructions All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in pdf format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. A separate call for poster submissions will be launched during March 2010. Review Criteria Papers should present novel ideas in the topic domains listed above, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect claims of contribution to be clearly stated and substantiated by formal analysis, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Authors are also encouraged to submit application papers. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or superiority to alternative approaches. If the application is still early work in progress, then the authors are expected to provide strong arguments as to why the proposed approach will work in the chosen domain.

Poster sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and interested participants to engage one another in in-depth discussions about the presented research work. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. Submissions in the following areas are particularly encouraged: * Self-organization * Self-adaptation * Other self-* properties (self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Approaches to engineering self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Applications and experiences with self-* systems Submission Process For evaluation and selection, authors should submit an extended, two-pages abstract of their poster. The format of the extended abstract must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Authors' submissions should be in pdf format. Submissions will be managed through the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>, similar to full papers. Poster authors should use the *poster track* for their submissions. Accepted Posters If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and in a format compliant with the IEEE paper format for the conference (see the SASO 2010 <http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/saso10/> web site for instructions). Posters are advertised in the Final Program, and authors' two-page extended abstracts will appear in the SASO 2010 Conference Proceedings, which will be distributed at SASO 2010. Poster Content All posters should include the following information: * The purpose and the goals of the work. * Any background and motivation needed to understand the work as well as any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work. * A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them. * The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters. * Where to find additional information. This should include but is not restricted to: o a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work o how to contact the authors, including email addresses o citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information Poster Layout Guidelines The format of posters and the nature of poster sessions require authors to capture the viewers' attention effectively, and present the main traits that can help understand the context of their research work efficiently. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in successful posters.Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text. If you use screen shots, please ensure that the shots print legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read comfortably once they are placed on paper. Attendance At least one of the poster authors is required to register at the conference. She is required to give a brief presentation of the poster in the interactive poster session, and to stay with the poster so that she can discuss the work with conference attendees, for the duration of the scheduled poster sessions. For More Information For additional information, clarification, or questions, please contact the Posters Co-Chairs: Hartmut Schmeck <mailto:hartmut.schmeck@kit.edu> and Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <mailto:valetto@cs.drexel.edu> Poster Chairs Hartmut Schmeck <http://www.aifb.kit.edu/web/Hartmut_Schmeck/en>, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <http://www.cs.drexel.edu/%7Evaletto/>, Drexel University, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Call for Tutorials* *Important Dates* Proposal submission deadline: May 14, 2010 Acceptance notification: June 11, 2010 Notes submission deadline: July 28, 2010 Tutorial presentations: Sept 27 - Oct 1, 2010 Early registration deadline: August 13, 2010 *Scope* The SASO-2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held in association with the conference. SASO is a highly successful conference series which aims to bring together diverse communities working on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems to discuss new results and upcoming trends in this exciting area. The tutorial program has been initiated to support this aim. Tutorials should address one or more of the following objectives: * Introduce a major topic area of SASO research. * Survey a significant application / technology area of SASO. * Explain an area of SASO research relevant to industry. * Overview a particular approach or methodology for SASO work. * Highlight emerging SASO topics and techniques. * Explain SASO ideas originating from one community but applicable to others. For a guide on what topic areas, technologies and communities fall within the SASO focus refer to the Call for Papers, available on the conference website. It is not expected that tutorials will cover specific topics or techniques that are already covered in existing textbooks. For example, a tutorial on "genetic algorithms" would not be accepted. However, a tutorial that coherently shows how such an existing technique has been applied in innovative ways to solve SASO-relevant engineering problems would be acceptable. Novel and timely areas, approaches and paradigms are particularly encouraged. Proposals that promote only a single author's work or a specific commercial product are not encouraged. *Proposal Submission* Tutorial proposals, maximum 3 pages, should contain: * A descriptive title of the tutorial (max. 1 line). * A specification of the tutorial length, i.e. specify half day (approx. 4 hours) or full day (approx. 8 hours). * A brief, one paragraph, description of the tutorial suitable for publication on the SASO website and in other publicity material (max. half page). * A statement of why the tutorial is relevant / interesting for the potential conference audience (max. half page). * An outline syllabus of the topics to be covered in the tutorial - list a maximum of eight specific subtopic headings. For each heading list relevant keywords and, where necessary, references to representative published work that will be covered within that topic (max. one page). * Short resume of the presenter(s) including name, e-mail, home web-page URL, postal address, telephone and fax numbers and brief description of background in the tutorial area including evidence of teaching experience (previous courses / tutorials taught) and scholarship in the area (2 or 3 selected references to representative publications). If more than one presenter is listed, indicate which should be the corresponding contact (max. half page). *Proposal Acceptance* Tutorial submissions will be evaluated by the SASO Tutorial Chair in association with the General Co-Chairs. During the evaluation process the prospective speakers may be contacted to provide clarification or further information. Those submitting rejected proposals will be given reasons and feedback. For all accepted proposals SASO will provide: * Meeting place, publicity, logistics and registration for the tutorial. * Duplication and distribution of tutorial notes to participants. Tutorial organizers will provide: * A pdf file of their tutorial notes by the due date. * Presentation of their tutorial at SASO 2010. *Contact* Inquiries and proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Tutorial Chairs: Dr. Ron Li, CSIRO, Australia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] special issue Elsevier PMC journal - Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 14:53:37 +0200 Von: Anagnostopoulos Ioannis <janag(a)aegean.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] Call for Papers Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Guest Editors: Dr. I. Anagnostopoulos, Assist. Prof I. Tinnirello, Prof. C. Douligeris Scope In recent years, the increased demand for all types of wireless services, as well as the increasing number of users in the wireless networks have led to the development of different wireless technologies, such as 3G networks, WLAN, WiMAX etc, with different advantages and disadvantages in terms of coverage, bandwidth, QoS, cost and mobility. Wireless users can only benefit from the integration of these heterogeneous technologies. More specifically, the integration of wireless networks offers a wide variety of services and gives the user the possibility to roam from the one network by only using a single terminal. The vision of “anytime, anywhere” communications is too close to become a reality, bringing benefits to both end users and service providers. However, besides of the benefits, the integration of the wireless and mobile networks imposes also great challenges as well. The goal of this special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their speciality. This special issue will be focused on issues concerning service and pricing models in integrated wireless networks. In particular we are interested in tutorial, survey and original research articles on, but not limited to the following topics: • Innovative Interworking architectures and scenarios in Integrated Wireless Networks • QoS and Service Provisioning • Business Modeling Tools • Unified accounting, billing and standards • Pricing models for Integrated Wireless Networks • TCP/IP services over Integrated Wireless Networks • Cost Estimation Mechanisms in Integrated Wireless Networks • Applications, Services and Service Convergence • Business and QoS SLA Parameters in Integrated Wireless Networks • Personalized and User-Oriented Services • Pricing and Subscription Database Techniques • Pricing Differentiated Services Manuscript Submission Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements (with at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select “QoS for Integrated Wireless Networks” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2010 Notifications: September 1, 2010 (this includes two rounds of reviews) Final Manuscripts Due: October 1, 2010 Special Issue: May 2011 Guest Editors’ Affiliation Dr. Ioannis E.

HINDAWI ADVANCES IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (AHCI) JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON SUBLIMINAL COMMUNICATION IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Human- and computer-based interactions are ubiquitous in our everyday lives - everything from our mobiles, iPods, to a variety of computer systems creates serious cognitive demands when switching from one to the next. When used simultaneously, extra cognitive demands are placed on us and the likelihood of success is dependent upon our ability to apportion attention to multiple tasks simultaneously. To alleviate the cognitive load associated with interacting with varied computing-based devices, common UIs and modes of operation should be implemented, significantly reducing the amount of information we must store and recall. In addition, subtle cues could be emitted from the device to assist us during our interactions, prompting us toward the appropriate action required to effectively complete a task. These cues could be delivered in a variety of (communication channels), for instance, visual or auditory cues could be provided according to the specific nature of the current activity. In order to implement these features, UIs must be provided with the means to detect the nature of the current interaction set, rovide the subliminal cues across appropriate channels, and evaluate their success. This approach would benefit from a significant collaborative effort from a range of disciplines: engineering, neuroscience, computer science, psychophysiology, and related fields. The result of this approach provides exciting challenges which will significantly impact society at large, making significant contributions toward a more natural, convenient, and even relaxing future human-computer interface. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Compatibility of subliminal information transmission with other demands and conditions in the field of HCI - Limits of reproducibility - Influence in interaction with further explicit channels - Impact of subliminally delivered information on the cognitive load - Subliminally delivered information and the level of distraction - Subliminal interfaces for the automotive domain (head-up displays, vibro-tactile transducers embedded into the seat) - Basic characteristics of subliminally delivered information (reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception) - Potential of subliminal cues to guide a person to the right course of action or to a specific emotional state - Hardware components, that is, interactive smart rooms, games with dynamic UIs - Analysis of subliminal processes, that is, implicit interaction/cognition, subliminal messaging, unconscious emotions Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ahci/guidelines.html.

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 - Testbeds 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 Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.
