Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 00:44:08 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Due date for the next issue: December 1, 2011 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). 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/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues.

See http://pam2012.ftw.at/cfp.shtml for details. Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference March 13-14, 2012 Vienna, Austria Call for Papers The PAM conference has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked, networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: § Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and Experience § Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications § Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. § Correlating measurements across multiple layers § Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals § Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience § Measurements for Security and Privacy § Distributed and Inter-domain measurements § Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements § Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability § Measurement technology for software-based routers § Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services § Measurements in Home Networks § Measurement Visualization § Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure § New Measurement Initiatives § Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results § Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis § Measurement Data Management Important Dates § Conference: 13-14th March, 2012 § Abstract Registration: September 7, 2011 11:59pm (PDT) (September 8th at 8:59am CEST) - HARD DEADLINE § Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 11:59pm PDT (September 15, 8:59am CEST) - HARD DEADLINE § Notification of Decision: November 22, 2011 § Camera Ready: December 22, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of multihop wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. The workshop values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations, but papers explicitly comparing tested results and simulation results are highly solicited. Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: • Design & evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms • Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies • Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments • Wireless testbed case studies • Industrial application and integrated innovation • The use of multihop wireless testbeds in teaching and research • Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures, testbed federations • Testbed management issues and monitoring support • Configurable hardware/software platforms for testbeds • Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols • Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing • Integrated tools/toolkits to ease transition between simulation and deployment • New measurement methodologies and infrastructures • Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of multihop wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics • Innovative measurements methodologies & tools • Testbed tools for interoperability, benchmarking and traffic measurements Workshop Co-Chairs: =================== Thomas Kunz, Carleton University Marc St-Hilaire, Carleton University Submission Guidelines: ====================== Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 6 pages including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS - Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NETHEALTH) 2012 Datum: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 22:08:12 -0700 Von: ajaykulk <ajaykulk(a)cisco.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS - NETHEALTH 2012 2nd Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NetHealth 2012) Co-located with COMSNETS 2012 (in cooperation with ACM, SIGCOMM and SIGMOBILE) Bangalore, India January 3, 2012 http://www.comsnets.org/nethealth.html Important dates: - Submissions due: October 16, 2011 (11:00pm IST) (1:30pm EST) - Notification of acceptance: November 16, 2011 - Camera-ready: December 2, 2011 The world's pressing healthcare needs may benefit from judicious application of networked information technology. Future networked information systems will support, for example, clinical workflow, remote diagnosis and consultation, e-prescribing, and mobile data collection and surveillance, disease outbreak identification and patient participation in their own well-being and care. Mobile-computing technology may be particularly helpful in improving access to healthcare (geography, monetary and informational), by encouraging personal health management, and by enabling patient and provider mobility. Wearable medical devices are emerging, to measure essential vital signs like pulse, respiration, ECG, blood glucose level, and patient mobility. Handheld devices support clinicians in urban hospitals, and portable diagnostic kits allow remote healthcare teams to more easily reach rural villages. The widespread availability of mobile phones, and recent experiments with low-cost, long-range broadband wireless networks, bring connectivity to all these opportunities. We encourage papers that present novel ideas for networked computing technology in support of healthcare, and which are likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at the workshop. Research papers should focus on all aspects of networked healthcare technologies. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following topics: remote diagnosis and remote consultation * clinical applications of mobile or networked healthcare * mobile and wearable medical sensing applications * design of wearable and home-care health devices * sensor networks for public health monitoring and surveillance * networked mobile technology for rural healthcare * security and privacy in networked healthcare * experience from technology deployments * usability of mobile health applications and devices * applications to emergency response and disaster response * cost-efficient and energy-efficient networking for remote healthcare * remote access to electronic health records Papers should be limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, not submitted concurrently elsewhere in any form, and present new contributions regarding either technology or experience in deploying technology.
