Submission deadline: 15th July 2010 *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** This workshop continues the line of UbiHealth workshops organized at the Ubicomp conference in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. Up till now, the majority of research within Ubiquitous Healthcare (UbiHealth) has focused on ubiquitous computing for somatic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and obesity. Research on these topics is still very relevant and represents the main contribution to UbiHealth. This year, however, we intend to expand the participation to include researchers working with ubiquitous computing for mental disorders and maintenance of mental health. While, some research has been directed towards dementia and autism, less focus has been given to the major mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and chronic stress. However, mental disorders affect around a quarter of all people at some time during their life. These disorders are universal - affecting all countries and societies, and individuals at all ages. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental disorders have a major negative direct and indirect impact on economy and on the quality of life of individuals and families. *** CONTRIBUTIONS *** We invite researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds such as engineering, computer science, pervasive computing, human computer interface design, psychology, psychiatry and other medical sciences. The main objective of the workshop will be to strengthen the cooperation within the growing community in pervasive healthcare research, allowing lively exchange of ideas and foster new collaborations. The workshop seeks research work on the topics including, but not limited to: * Bio and physiological measurement technology * Unobtrusive long-term monitoring systems * Wearable sensors and brain to computer interfaces * Innovative algorithms for assessment of long-term physiological and behavioral data * Prediction of disease or episode onset * Decision support for therapy planning * Tele health and mobile technology * Interaction Designs and Applications for patient self-care * Virtual reality systems for therapy * Persuasive technologies and approaches for changing behaviors * Games in assessment and therapy * Cognitive behavioral therapy, speech therapy, music therapy and development of new therapies * Support for preventative measures * Supporting maintenance of mental wellness *** SUBMISSIONS *** We invite authors interested in these topics to submit a camera ready paper of 2-4 pages using the UbiComp 2010 Submission Template for Papers and Notes.

Tsiropoulos <gitsirop(a)hotmail.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2010) (http://wmcnt.ntua.gr) Call for Papers Scope The Second IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT2010) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems (ICUMT 2010) to be held in Moscow, Russia, in October 2010. The Workshop will be a full day event. Continuing the great success of the previous event, WMCNT 2010 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. Overview Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility.

Ideally, wireless users want to have the same services and capabilities that they have commonly come to expect with wired networks. However, to meet these objectives, the wireless community faces certain challenges and need an excellent understanding of all aspects of wireless networks. Wireless networks are large complex entities. This complexity brings to the many problems, such as network planning, resource management, Quality of Service scheduling, congestion and flow control, connection admission control, and Medium Access Control. These problems are outside the traditional communications background. They can be properly addressed with methodologies such as optimization, estimation, adaptation, fuzzy control, games control, robust stability, distributed control, hybrid control. For instance, recently, there has been a surge in research activities that utilize optimization techniques to analysis and design wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to bring research papers addressing the theme of control and optimization for wireless networks. Subject areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: Applications of control theory to wireless network problems Admission control, power control, and congestion control of wireless networks Control system design base on wireless networks Network utility maximization for wireless networks Allocation of wireless network resources such as bandwidth, rate, or power Optimization-based models of network traffic and topology Digital communications signal processing algorithms via optimization methods Cross-layer design through nonlinear optimization decomposition Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless networks Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE MeshTech 2010: Submission deadline is fast approaching Datum: Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:48:43 +0200 Von: Enzo Mingozzi <e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: University of Pisa An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ***** JUNE 28, 2010 (11:59pm EDT) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS MeshTech 2010 Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Enabling Technologies and Standards for Wireless Mesh Networking http://www.ing.unipi.it/meshtech10 co-located with IEEE MASS 2010 sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing, IEEE TC on Simulation November 8, 2010 San Francisco, CA, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOPE/CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless mesh networks have emerged as a key technology for next- generation wireless networking. Several standardization bodies specify MAC layer protocols and architectures for interoperable Wireless Mesh (IEEE 802.11s, and IEEE 802.15.5) and Relay Networks (IEEE 802.16). At the Network layer, IETF related groups (e.g. MIPSHOP, NETLMM and MANET Working Groups) develop technologies in the context of wireless access and mobility support for the Next Generation Internet. While these standards mainly address broadband access or military usage scenarios, new environments calling for wide area communication technologies such as wireless mesh are now arising. One noticeable example is the smart grid, whereby a distributed network topology is needed to signal the current grid utilization and energy demands. As part of the smart grid, wireless mesh inherently becomes a critical part of the national infrastructure. On the other hand, on the consumer electronics side, new topologies alternative to the classic, base- station centred ones are required. Accordingly, so called "single hop" mesh and demand for other ad hoc networks emerge, like the next generation Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi Direct developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and the Direct Link Set-up specified by the IEEE 802.11 Task Group "z". With the emergence of these novel topologies, wireless mesh networks and their ad hoc relatives have become a hot topic in the research community. However, these new topologies affect protocol designs and interoperability with existing networks. Loop-free set-ups, broadcast traffic handling, inter- and intra-standard connectivity, and handover of roaming devices are a few examples that these new technologies need to be aware of. Furthermore, it is still to be fully understood what technological challenges the above-mentioned standardization efforts will face, how they evolve, and what application scenarios will drive their possible success in the market. Building on the success of the previous editions, MeshTech 2010 aims to bring together again practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to discuss the recent advances and future evolution of next generation peer-to-peer and mobile mesh/multi-hop relay networking technologies and standards for Wireless Personal, Local, Metropolitan, Rural and Regional Area Networks. Within the scope of wireless mesh networks, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Routing protocols - Medium access control protocols - Quality of Service and fairness provisioning - Mesh networks configuration and management - Topology discovery, association and control - Mesh network measurement - Mobility management - Coexistence with existing wireless infrastructures - Security architectures, functions and protocols - Performance evaluation - Comparative study of competing solutions - Cross-layer design and optimization - Cognitive and frequency-agile radios - Fault tolerance, anomaly detection and error recovery schemes - Interworking of heterogeneous standard wireless mesh networks - Wireless mesh networks for TV white spaces - Wireless mesh networks for the Smart Grid - Vehicular wireless mesh networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS by June 18, 2010, 11:59pm EDT. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.ing.unipi.it/meshtech10/submission.shtml.
