-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Authors] CfP Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Datum: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 13:41:56 +0100 Von: Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> Antwort an: Authors of IM, NOMS & CNSM <authors(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: authors(a)inf.ufsc.br ***CALL FOR PAPERS*** Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunication networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially,economically and yes, even psychologically.This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers.In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. **Submission process** All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive UrbanApplications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. **Important Dates** Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First Notification: March 1, 2012 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 **Guest Editors of the Special Issue** Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, U

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mitglieder-info] Call for Contributions: Capacity Sharing Workshop 2011 Datum: Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:11:57 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de <mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de> Liebe KuVS-Mitglieder, anbei noch einmal der Call for Contributions fuer unseren Capacity-Sharing-Workshop im Oktober zur Erinnerung. Viele Gruesse, Dirk Kutscher -- Dr. Dirk Kutscher NEC Laboratories Europe Kurfuerstenanlage 36 69115 Heidelberg, Germany email: dirk.kutscher(a)neclab.eu Tel. +49 6221 4342 203 Fax. +49 6221 4342 155 NEC Europe Limited | Registered Office: NEC House, 1 Victoria Road, London W3 6BL | Registered in England 2832014 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] Call for Contributions ---------------------- NEC Laboratories Europe and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) of the University of Stuttgart invite you to a one-day workshop on the topic Capacity Sharing ---------------- With the increasing amount of IP traffic in fixed and mobile access networks, the question how to share the available resources in a fair, efficient and demand-oriented way becomes more and more prevalent. With the variety of services one can find in today's Internet, the requirements in rate, data volume and latency differ strongly. To maximize resource utilization and, at the same time, provide satisfying performance to all users, application layer knowledge is needed. As different resource allocation and adaptation mechanisms already exist in MAC, transport and application layer, an integral consideration of the problem space is required. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. Because large over-provisioning factors are economically unfeasibly, similar questions on capacity sharing also arise in fixed access networks, such as high bandwidth passive optical networks or cable networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders of mobile and fixed access networks, the classic Internet world and of the application and transport community. We solicit presentations on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We are especially looking forward to (possibly provocative) visionary presentations to foster a lively discussion about how to face the upcoming challenges in the future mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Related standardization activities and projects Submission Information ---------------------- Please inform the workshop organizers by email to CapacitySharingWS(a)ikr.uni-stuttgart.de about title and abstract (max. 1 page) of your planned presentation. The number of slots is limited. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for contributions is July 15, 2011. Registration to the workshop is open until September 15, 2011. The workshop takes place in Stuttgart on Thursday, October 13, 2011.
