-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: M-MPAC 2011 - Extended Paper Submission Deadline - August 25th Datum: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:18:36 +0100 Von: Sotirios Terzis <Sotirios.Terzis(a)cis.strath.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *********************************************************** DEADLINE EXTENSION! Paper submission deadline: August 25th 2010 *********************************************************** Call for Papers M-MPAC 2011 ----------- Third International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2011 Lisbon, Portugal 12-16 December 2011 Workshop Scope & Themes ----------------------- Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 and 2010 this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. In recent year, tablet devices and operating systems have gained a prominent spot in the limelight, while the smart phone landscape continues to change with new offerings supporting a variety of sensors, higher resolution and bigger size screens, high definition video recording and playback, and enhanced gaming. Embedded devices like televisions, TV set top boxes, and game consoles have grown beyond their original functionality to home multimedia systems supporting enhanced networking (e.g. IP TV and DNLA), and novel user interaction through 3D displays, and movement detection based controllers. The pervasiveness of such mobile and embedded devices has given rise to a variety of novel applications, such as social web applications, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, context-aware collaborative computing,participatory sensing, etc. Access to cloud computing infrastructures further enhances the capabilities of these devices offering additional opportunities for innovative applications and uses. Despite these successes, software development for such devices and platforms remains largely ad hoc, while interoperability among applications, devices and platforms is largely elusive. Middleware has a key role to play in overcoming these problems. However, it still unclear what are the appropriate middleware abstractions and supporting infrastructures necessary for such applications. The resource constrained nature and mobility of such devices place unique requirements for middleware and necessitate the exploration of novel programming abstractions, and supporting services, while capabilities like location and context-awareness open new avenues for radical approaches in their development. In this context, the main workshop themes include, but are not limited to the following themes: * Device platforms - Virtualization technologies & applications - Distributed ensembles - Interaction paradigms and protocols - Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android, IOS) - Virtual machines * 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) - Data portability * 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 * 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 * Mobile Web - Web architectures (REST, Ajax) in pervasive computing - Context adaptation/management in pervasive computing - Mobile web scalability and reliability in access - Content adaptation on mobile devices - Collaborative search * 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 * 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 and field-trials - Performance studies Submission ---------- Submissions must not exceed 6 pages and must 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-mpac2011/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 program committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in a special workshop proceedings volume in the ACM Digital Library. The publication of the best workshop submissions and the research roadmap in the style of previous events is under investigation.

For example, sensitive information can potentially be copied, altered or injected for malicious purposes, e.g., taking advantage of sensitive information or stealing/abusing digital identities. There is also a growing risk that computer and network attacks will be deployed to disturb or even severely impact important infrastructure components like communication systems, power grids, or traffic control systems in order to cause significant economic damages. In addition to these, there is a growing awareness of privacy concerns, regarding individual users as well as corporate and/or governmental organizations. Therefore, new approaches to information security, availability protection, and privacy management are required to be tightly integrated into IT and communication systems. The CISS Symposium will address all aspects of modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management of computer/network security algorithms, protocols, services, architectures, and systems. Envisaged contributions to CISS symposium target all security aspects of wired networks (electrical/optical) as well as wireless networks: 3G/4G, satellite, WLAN, WiMAX, Ad hoc, vehicular, RFID, and sensor networks, considering all layers from the physical to the application layer (including middleware and peer-to-peer systems). Furthermore, contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of security mechanisms for current technologies as well as novel security and data privacy solutions for emerging technologies are solicited. Papers should represent high-quality and previously unpublished work, and may not be submitted in parallel to other conferences or publications.
