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. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at www.elsevier.com/locate/jnca.

-------- 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. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of IEEE MASS 2010 and published by IEEE.

This is complemented by the ever increasing information and computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks The integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high-quality stationary systems have to be re-thought facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. Topics: This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile/ubiquitous systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks Sensor networks Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration Location-based computing and data analysis Intelligent sensors in networked environments Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing Grid-Computing for mobile applications Distributed data mining for mobile applications Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications, ... Hardware security methods for mobile applications Security methods for network computing and mobile systems Intelligent mobile systems Important Dates: Submission due: July 20, 2010 Decision due: August 10, 2010 Camera-ready due: August 31, 2010 Workshop date: Oct. 31, 2010 Papers submission: Papers submission should be made through EasyChair.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing (M-MPAC 2010)
by Lars Wolf 22 Jun '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing (M-MPAC 2010) Datum: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:40:39 +0100 Von: Sotirios Terzis <Sotirios.Terzis(a)cis.strath.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers --------------- M-MPAC 2010 Second International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC A Workshop of Middleware 2010 Bangalore, India November 29 - December 3, 2010 Problem Space Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 (that combined the previous editions of MPAC and MobMid), this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. This year is marked by the resurgence of tablet devices (e.g. iPad and a myriad of competing products) that aim to combine the performance of PCs with the portability and freedom of PDAs. This trend drives an increase in the popularity of pervasive mobile and embedded computing. Recent years have also witnessed the rise (and sometimes resurgence) of relatively powerful mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, mobile Internet devices and netbooks, as well as several embedded devices, like TV set-top boxes, portable media players (e.g. iPods), eReaders (e.g. Kindle), etc. These devices have enabled a wide spectrum of novel pervasive applications, such as healthcare monitoring, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, sport tracking, street navigation and observation, context-aware collaborative computing, etc. Moreover, with the rise of cloud computing infrastructures developers have also started exploring the possibility of empowering resource-constrained mobile devices with such infrastructures offering unlimited storage and computing resources. Developing practical applications for this kind of devices is still in most cases a complex and time-consuming process. Many of the existing applications have been built in an ad-hoc manner and without any possibility for code reuse. As the number and type of mobile and embedded devices, and pervasive applications increases, so does the need to enable interoperability among them. Identifying appropriate middleware abstractions and organizing successfully used protocols, algorithms, and software modules into generic middleware platforms can facilitate application development, foster software reuse, and enable rapid prototyping of pervasive applications. It is unclear and in many respects still an unexplored research area to what extent traditional middleware services can be provided on these devices. Porting existing middleware architectures to these new computing platforms turns out to be often infeasible. Instead, a thorough reconsideration of middleware abstractions and their supporting infrastructure is needed to allow applications to make effective use of the available computational power, memory, communication technologies, integrated sensors, etc. An ideal middleware platform should be capable of handling the resource constraints of these devices but at the same time exploit their unique features such as availability of location information, embedded sensors, mobility, spontaneous interaction, context-awareness, etc. Topics The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Device platforms Virtualization technologies and applications Distributed Ensembles Interaction paradigms and protocols Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android) Virtual machines * Networking Emerging wireless technologies and platforms Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network Quality of service and network selection * Data issues Data formats and encoding Availability and durability of data in personal networks Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics (e.g. cameras, iPods, etc) Data portability * Adaptability Context-awareness, location monitoring Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data storage Autonomics and self-* properties * Security and Privacy Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device interactions Security architectures balancing risk and utility Trust management in device ensembles Mobile device data security Identity federation * Mobile and Social Web Web architectures (REST, Ajax) for 3-screen usage in pervasive computing Context and content adaptation and management in pervasive computing Mobile web scalability and reliability in access Content adaptation on mobile devices Collaborative search * Applications Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, shopping, street navigation, etc. Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks Application development on mobile and embedded devices Programming models * Experiences and case studies Lessons from deployments User experiences Performance studies Submission Submissions should not exceed 8 pages and should be formatted using the ACM proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF at http://www.cis.strath.ac.uk/external/m-mpac2010/openconf/. Papers should present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the programme committee.

Fwd: [Tccc] casemans 2010 Deadline extended
by Lars Wolf 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] casemans 2010 Deadline extended Datum: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 10:25:09 +0200 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Deadline for paper submission is extended to June 30, 2010 The 4th ACM international workshop on context-awareness for self-managing systems (casemans 2010) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2010/casemans/index.html in conjunction with The 12th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing http://www.ubicomp2010.org/ CFP Autonomic execution of services is one of the features of context-aware computing. The service execution may take place inside a simple mobile device, a stand-alone application, a middleware, a network of all size and type; or a physical smart environment. The main idea here is to provide these systems with rich context information to undertake intelligent decision-making. Participation or intervention in the decision-making process by users or administrators of the systems is required only when it is absolutely needed. The intelligent decision making may refer to: (1) providing timely information to the user; (2) protecting the system from a systematic attack or intrusion; (3) updating and configuring relevant software so that it can function optimally; and (4) reconfiguring a system when some internal and external settings (policies) change. Apparently, the above aspects bring together two research areas, namely, autonomic computing and context-aware computing. Whereas these two areas are complementary, so far, vital research issues pertaining to context-aware computing and autonomic computing have been addressed independently. The main aim of this workshop is to build a bridge between these two areas by fostering discussions and collaborations among researchers and practitioners of these two areas. We are particularly interested in investigating context and self-adaptive behaviours. This year, we are planning to make casemans 2010 very attractive by introducing three paper sessions: (1) full papers session; (2) short papers session; and (3) demonstrables. The full papers session focuses on papers with solid research result. The short papers session (4 to 6 pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even controversial papers that encourage further research. The demonstrables are very short papers (not more than 2 pages) and can be accompanied by demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of context-awareness and autonomic service executions. Scope Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the following terms: * Context-awareness and cloud computing * Context-awareness and energy-efficient computing * Context-awareness and smart spaces * Context-awareness and service oriented computing * context-awareness and wireless sensor networks * Context-awareness and social networking * Context-awareness and robotics * Context-awareness and efficient multimedia content distribution * Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Information for Authors The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM ((ISBN: 978-1-4503-0213-5) and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedings will be made available online at the ACM Digital Library. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the ACM Proceedings format. Please visit the ACM template website <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the Easychair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=casemans2010>. Note that submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified here.

Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/N9078 For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the MASS 2010 website: https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: July 2, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Aug. 13, 2010 Camera-ready paper due: Sep. 3, 2010 KEYNOTE: will given by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mesut Günes, FU-Berlin, Germany Marco Gruteser, Ruttgers University, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland David B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2011 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 24 Datum: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:00:56 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************************************** Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2011) January 8-11, 2011 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library ************************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP- IEEE JSAC on "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:11:36 -0700 Von: Alireza Attar <attar(a)ece.ubc.ca> Antwort an: alireza.attar(a)ieee.org Organisation: UBC An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Wireless communication networks are undergoing a transformation, shifting network intelligence from the core network towards the edges of the network. Correspondingly, the process of decision making in wireless networks is migrating towards more distributed approaches. This calls for adoption of novel analytical approaches to capture the new degrees of freedom available for decision making processes in future communication technologies, fitting examples of which include femto-base-stations in beyond-3G systems and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). Game theory provides a powerful mathematical framework that can accommodate the preferences and requirements of various stakeholders in a given process as regards the outcome of the process. The application of game theory to the modeling and analysis of wireless networks has received considerable attention in recent years. Game theoretic approaches are multifarious, including among others cooperative and non-cooperative models, static and dynamic games, single-shot and repeated games, and finite- and infinite-horizon games. This special issue aims to bring together a comprehensive view of the application of game theoretic models to emerging wireless systems. We specially encourage studies that demonstrate the capabilities of game theory in wireless communication when other techniques have failed to produce insight, when complex wireless scenarios have helped advance game-theoretic models, and alternatively when limitations of game theory in practical wireless networks are captured. Hence, original previously un-published contributions are solicited in relevant topics, including but not limited to the following: * Game theoretic approaches to the design of PHY and MAC layers in future cellular and broadband technologies * Game models for cognitive radio and self-organizing networks * Application of novel solution concepts such as equilibrium or core solutions in wireless scenarios * Wireless network analysis using dynamic, stochastic, super-modular and sub-modular games * Coalition formation and other cooperative strategies for wireless radio networks * Evolutionary game theory for wireless networks * Radio resource allocation and interference management * Distributed load balancing, congestion control policies and routing protocols based on game theory * Mechanism design in auctions and other wireless applications * Reinforcement and Q-learning for various wireless network equilibria, such as the correlated equilibrium * Analysis of security and privacy in wireless application via game theory * Utilization of imperfect/asymmetric information game models in wireless communications * Multi-armed and restless bandit problems and their application in modeling wireless networks Prospective authors should follow the manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" section on the IEEE J-SAC website (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html ). All papers should be submitted in PDF format via EDAS (http://edas.info <http://edas.info/> ). Important Dates: * Manuscript Submission Due: January 1, 2011 * First review completed: May 1, 2011 * Revised manuscript due: June 1, 2011 * Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2011 * Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2011 * Publication: 1st Quarter 2012 Guest Editors: Dr. Alireza Attar University of British Columbia (alireza.attar(a)ieee.org) Prof. Tamer Başar University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (basar1(a)illinois.edu) Prof. Mérouane Debbah Supelec ( <mailto:merouane.debbah@supelec.fr> merouane.debbah(a)supelec.fr) Prof. H.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special issue on Wireless Communication in Challenged Environments Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:20:35 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 9, 2010 ************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross-layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment-aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas. The Ad Hoc Networks considers original, high quality and unpublished contributions addressing all aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Note that we will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be in the middle of September. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.

Fwd: [Tccc] JSAC "Measurement of Internet Topologies"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JSAC "Measurement of Internet Topologies" Datum: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 18:30:52 +0200 Von: Jean-Jacques Pansiot <jean-jacques.pansiot(a)unistra.fr> Organisation: Université de Strasbourg An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= Special issue of JSAC on MEASUREMENT OF INTERNET TOPOLOGIES ---------------------------------- Call For Papers --------------- The Internet is a complex but highly engineered system which has been built for years in a mostly distributed fashion, with little or no central authority. Even though a number of architectural principles underlying its design and evolution are known, our understanding of its global structure and dynamics at the different layers and of the nature of exchanges or communication over this structure has remained very limited. Many important features of this global structure can be studied by examining the various graphs (sets of nodes and links between them) that arise in the Internet at the different layers, each representing different aspects of Internet connectivity. This is true for instance for the physical connectivity, the IP-level connectivity, or the relationships between Autonomous Systems (ASes). The same holds true for the exchange or communication graphs (which nodes send information to which other nodes) at the various layers (e.g., packets, flows, files, email), and for overlay graphs induced by, for example, P2P systems, web services, or online social networks. Unfortunately, in practice these Internet-specific graph structures are not readily available and obtaining them from empirical observations typically requires costly special-purpose measurement infrastructures and experiments. The resulting data often reflect more what can be measured than what ought to be measured. As a result, the obtained information is typically incomplete, inaccurate, and biased. While some progress has been made to this regard in the last 10 years, much remains to be done. The goal of this special issue is to publish a collection of high-quality papers in the area of measurement of Internet topologies. We expect these papers to become key references in the field by (i) clearly articulating the limitations of the proposed measurement techniques or tools, (ii) detailing the resulting data quality issues, (iii) addressing ways to overcome some of the limitations, and (iv) highlighting for which purposes the obtained data can and cannot be used. The scope is broad and aims to cover all relevant aspects of the problem, but topics of special interest include: . new measurement strategies and tools, including novel and original approaches; . measurements at various layers, physical to applications; . measurements of related objects, e.g., routing trees, spreadings of files, or load-balancers; . inference of properties from measurements, and inference-oriented measurements; . modeling and analysis for measurements, including assessement of observed properties; . analysis of maps at any level, with special attention to measurement issues; . applications, including modeling of internet topologies and identification of key needs.

Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/N9078 For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the MASS 2010 website: https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: June 18, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Aug. 13, 2010 Camera-ready paper due: Sep. 3, 2010 KEYNOTE: will given by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mesut Günes, FU-Berlin, Germany Marco Gruteser, Ruttgers University, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland David B.

In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: * Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management * Quality of services (QoS) delivery * Seamless Mobility * Robust and scalable routing protocols * MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover * Self-configuration and synchronization * Security * Topology control and management * Mobility models and location management * Cross-layer design and interactions * Modeling and performance evaluation * Algorithms for localization and signal processing * Implementation testbeds * Operating systems and middleware Organisers * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany * Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates * Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) * Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) * Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

A number of recent developments give momentum to this new field of research, including: the proliferation of embedded sensors in open programmable smartphones; the ease at which researchers and developers can distribute new applications using vendor specific "app store" delivery channels (e.g., Apple AppStore, Android Market, Microsoft Mobile Marketpace, Nokia Ovi); and, finally, the emergence of the mobile computing cloud. The combination of three drivers is creating new opportunities in mobile phone sensing not seen before. Emerging applications on apps phones and cloud can sense, mine, and learn human behaviors and intentions to provide personalized feedback and persuasion. Example application domains include mobile advertisement, social networking, healthcare, entertainment, education, safety and business. PhoneSense promotes exchanges among academic and industrial researchers in related areas, such as sensing, mobile computing, data management, data mining, machine learning, inference, incentive modeling, persuasion feedback, user experience with app delivery channels for large-scale deployment, and privacy. The foci are on position papers, novel ideas, and in-progress work on system architecture, enabling technologies, and emerging applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Applications -Sensing and machine learning techniques -Experience with app store delivery systems and large scale deployment -Mobile cloud and sensing Interface and interaction between phones and humans -Mining big sensor data -Persuasion models and techniques to close the loop with users -Privacy and sensor data -Participatory and opportunistic sensing paradigms -Activity recognition and subjective sensing -Programming models -Experiment and campaign design Submissions should be up to 5 pages, in double column ACM proceeding format.

Inspired from traditionally well studied mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), these networks deploy specialized heterogeneous wireless nodes and are expected to be used in many real-life applications involving inter-disciplinary research. In addition to the challenges inherent to MANETs and WSNs, these emerging wireless ad hoc networks introduce new challenges at all layers of protocol stack including new forms of wireless communication (e.g., multi-channel, acoustic, underground communication), new mobility models (e.g., vehicle, underwater, actuator mobility), quality of service (QoS) (e.g., bandwidth, delay and reliability guarantees) and new node placement and self-organization techniques (e.g., cameras, mesh router, and actuator placement). Published solutions for MANETs and WSNs cannot be directly applied to aforementioned wireless ad hoc networks due to their special characteristics and constraints. This special issue will be dedicated to current state of the art routing and node placement protocols in newly emerged wireless ad hoc networks such as WMNs, VANETs, UWSNs, WMSNs, WUNs, etc. Papers describing architectures, protocols, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited in the following topics of interest (not limited to): Routing in multi-radio and multi-channel ad hoc networks QoS Routing in WMNs, UWSNs, VANETs and WMSNs Network deployment, localization, and synchronization protocols Joint routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Routing and security trade-offs Cross-layer optimization Node deployment in WMNs, WMSNs, UWSNs and WUNs Routing performance under various node deployment schemes Mobility modeling in UWSNs and VANETs Test-bed, prototype, and practical systems Important Dates: Paper submission: September 15th, 2010 Acceptance notification: December 15th, 2010 Final papers: January 15th, 2011 Guest Editors: Dr. Kemal Akkaya Department of Computer Science Southern Illinois University Carbondale Dr. Mohamed Younis Department of Computer Science & Electrical Engineering University of Maryland Baltimore County Dr. Chun Tung Chou School of Computer Science & Engineering University of New South Wales, Australia 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] Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 12:11:39 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers A Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission: August 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.

Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:50:57 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. ***** Extended Deadline: 15 June 2010 ***** Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html and a brief summary is available at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/edbd-web/reviewformintro.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Globecom - SaCoNAS Datum: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 08:57:37 +0000 (GMT) Von: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)ymail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP***** ============================================ Call for papers IEEE International Workshop Towards Smart Communications and Network technologies applied on Autonomous Systems (SaCoNAS) Miami, Florida, USA December 2010 http://sites.google.com/site/saconasglobecom2010/home ============================================ SCOPE ----- The scope of this workshop targets the recent overlap of the latest advances between both autonomous systems, including robots, and new network technologies. On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else.
