IEEE PERVASIVE Special Issue: Attention Management
by Andreas Riener 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Attention Management in Pervasive Computing ------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 1 March 2013 Notification: 26 April 2013 Publication: Jan.–Mar. 2014 Finely-woven, globe-spanning digital networks, together with the radical miniaturization and embedding of information, communication, and sensor electronics into almost everything, have made human-to-computer bonds truely ubiquitous and pervasive. Accordingly, our approach to human-computer interaction is reversing: while HCI previously addressed issues related to how humans initiate interaction with ICT systems, we now increasingly observe ICT system designs that also approach humans. Within this "human computer confluence", human attention—more than processor speed, communication bandwidth, and storage resources—becomes the single most critical (yet least understood) resource in pervasive system design today. While previously considered a mental variable that could not be quantified and measured, attention now constitutes a fundamental element of psychological research. Today, everyone has an intuitive understanding of what attention is, how it can be assessed, and how it impacts perception, memory, expectation, awareness, relevance, decision-making, and other behaviours. This special issue focusses on novel approaches to attention modelling, attention representation, attention sensing, recognition or estimation, together with attention management as a theoretical and practical principle for designing Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing systems. We welcome multi-disciplinary articles not only from the core Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing community, but also from Behavioural Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Research linked to attention management system design principles. Potential topics include: ------------------------- - Theories and formal models of attention, theory driven modelling, evidencing theories Attention sensing and data-driven attention modelling (including recognition chains, mining Big Data) - Attention estimation from behaviour (gaze, speech, pose, effort, somatic indicators) and from mental effort (memorizing, response time) - Attention recognition (pattern recognition, machine learning) and management architectures (goals, plans, decision making) - Individual attention (perceptual load, cognitive load, recall performance, consciousness, overt vs. covert attention, focus and periphery of attention) and sensors (EEG, FOVA, SC, BVP, ...) - Collective attention (information diffusion, novelty propagation, sharing, consesus finding) and sensors (social networks, microblogs, tweets, web/phone, exploiting patterns ...) - ICT design based on the economics of attention: design principles, interaction principles, interface designs, attractors - Attention management system architectures, tools and development frameworks - Attention management showcases, success stories, and user studies in application domains of societal significance—for example, health care systems, intense care and control centers, electronic workplaces and electronic trading systems, mission-critical construction and engineering, avionic and automotive systems, energy and environmental protection systems, safety and security systems, monitoring and surveillance systems, crisis observatories, sales and digital signage systems, art installations, public advertising, public opinion building, etc. Questions? ---------- For more information about the focus, contact the Guest Editors Alois Ferscha <ferscha(a)pervasive.jku.at>, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Joe Paradiso <joep(a)media.mit.edu>, MIT Media Laboratory Roger Whitaker <r.m.whitaker(a)cs.cardiff.ac.uk>, Cardiff University Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications, and all accepted articles will be edited according to Computer Society guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier Special Issue: Wireless Networks Intrusion (30 Nov. 2012) Datum: Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:27:50 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier (Impact Factor: 1.157) Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless networktechnologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wirelesscommunications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wirelessself-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network(WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: E2Nets'13 - Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency Datum: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:35:24 +0100 Von: Martin Jacobsson <jacobsson.martin(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Martin Jacobsson <martin.jacobsson(a)it.uu.se> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** The 4th Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency (E2Nets'13) In conjunction with IEEE Intl. Conference on Communications (ICC'13) Budapest, Hungary, June 9-13, 2013. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Important Dates *************** Abstract Registration: January 4, 2013 Paper Submission Deadline: January 11, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 22, 2013 Camera-Ready Submission: March 8, 2013 Scope ***** The two seemingly distinct topics of E2Nets are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to a GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient Service discovery and Service Provisioning * Energy efficient algorithms and implementations in Internet of Things and Future Internet To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient home automation and energy monitoring * Applications to Smart grids Tentative Committee ******************* General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada * Ignas Niemegeers, WMC, TU Delft, The Netherlands TPC Chairs * R.
