Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. ____ The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients.____ While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals.____ This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged. In summary, we are soliciting high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design, prototyping and deployment.____ The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:____ __· __Sensing of Vital Signs and Signatures ____ __· __Wearable Medical Wireless Sensors, ____ __· __Energy Saving for Long Time Monitoring____ __· __Software Architectures (Agent, SOA, Middleware, etc.) ____ __· __UHealth Smart home Network Infrastructure and Gateway____ __· __Modeling Ubiquitous Healthcare Smart home Environment ____ __· __Physiological Models for Interpreting Medical Sensor Data ____ __· __User Modeling and Personalization ____ __· __Autonomic Diagnosis and Situation Awareness (Fall, Activity, etc.)____ __· __Context Awareness and Autonomous Computing to Support Independent Living____ __· __Home based Health and wellness Measurement and Monitoring____ __· __Home based Health Monitoring and Intervention. ____ __· __Smart Home Applications and Services____ __· __Security, Trust and Privacy ____ __· __Legal and Regulatory Issues ____ __· __Usability and Acceptability ____ __· __Business Models for UHealth Smart homes____ __ __ *Submissions Guidelines* This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues.

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 - Cohabitation of wireless protocols - Software-defined radios - Modeling and performance evaluation - Algorithms for localization and signal processing - Implementation testbeds - Operating systems and middleware - Energy-efficient protocols PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION _____________________________________________ All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted).

Indeed, autonomous applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have rapidly expanded from classical ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the control of a given system in a centralized manner Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future networks within the so-called sky of clouds and Internet of things. 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 - Smart communications for Cloud Computing and Internet of things - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks - Virtual networks and distributed Agent Platform - 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, and 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. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE -------------------- The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page standard IEEE conference style paper to this workshop (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (<http://edas.info//N10873>http://edas.info//N10873 ). <http://www.edas.info).> (If any problem during submission is encountered, please contact the workshop chair).

Courmayeur, Italy http://wons2012.tlc.polito.it _____________________________________________ SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, machine-2-machine networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management _____________________________________________ MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library.

Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> schrieb: CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Social Connections in the Urban Space 2011 (SocialUrb-2011) in conjunction with IEEE SOCIALCOM 2011, MIT, USA, October 9-11, 2011 http://di.ncl.ac.uk/socialurb2011/ Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: 1 July 2011 Author Notification: 12 August 2011 Final Manuscript: 22 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9-11 October 2011 Background and Motivation ------------------------- Significant amounts of data are collected in the urban space we move and live in. Most of this data is gathered by governmental and defence agencies. Satellites are used to capture movement and transport while 'dataveillance' captures people's use of credit card, mobile phone, and loyalty card information. CCTVs are also ubiquitous. More recently, applications to gather data using people's mobile phones as a sensor in the urban space have appeared and contribute to this pool of urban data. This unprecedented bottom-up approach achieves collaborative collection of large quantities of data. 'Participatory Urbanism' sees a shift in mobile device usage - from communication tool to networked mobile personal measurement instrument. Through this, individual citizens can become more proactive in their involvement with their city, neighborhood, and urban self-reflexivity. Given this growing pool of data of the urban space, there is a question on how the data can be used fruitfully and sensibly to better understand sociality and to inform future planning of our urban environment. Objectives ---------- This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and explore research challenges and opportunities in social computing in urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban social life and exploit the sensory data as well as digital traces (e.g. mobile phone data, online social network data, transportation traces) to create novel urban social applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. The SocialUrb-2011 Workshop fosters discussions covering topics such as (but not limited to): * Analysis of social networks in urban spaces * Social computing applications for urban planning and design * Social sensing methodology * Computational social study of urban spaces * Mining of data collected from urban social networks * Urban social geography * Multi-source urban social information integration * Real-time urban social information processing * Case studies and applications of mixed urban social sensing and mining * Middleware for mobile urban social computing * City-related knowledge infrastructure and computational models * Urban social application demos and visualizations * Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban social computing * Impact of social computing technologies in the urban space e.g. economical, psychological. Submission ---------- Submission must be in IEEE conference paper style with no more than 6 pages in PDF file (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submit your paper(s) at the SocialUrb-2011 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=socialurb2011). All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation by the Technical Program Committee. Should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work in order for the paper to be published by IEEE and included in the IEEE Digital Library.
