As a result of the advancements of ubiquitous and increasingly powerful wearable devices, to support the wide variety of application contexts, there exists a growing number of health monitoring systems with sophisticated capabilities. Moreover, there is enormous public interest in products that allow individuals, ranging from children to elders, to monitor and improve their own health and lifestyle. The combination of BSN, with their huge amount of gathered sensor data and their limited processing power can be tackled by exploiting a Cloud computing infrastructure to offer an integrated platform that provides: (a) the ability to utilize heterogeneous sensors; (b) scalability of data storage; (c) scalability of processing power for different kinds of analysis; (d) global access to the processing and storage infrastructure; (e) easy sharing of results; and (f) pay-as-you-go pricing for using BSN services. The aim of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive guide on new ideas and results in the BSN domain. In particular, it will focus on the state of the art, architecture, and associated techniques for BSN-Cloud integration, allowing collection and dissemination of health data from BSN to a storage Cloud repository, and processing and analysis of the stored data using software services hosted in the Cloud. It will also identify potential research directions and technologies that will drive innovations within this domain. We expect the papers of the special issue to serve as a valuable reference for larger audience such as systems architects, practitioners, developers, researchers, academics and students. Topics of Interest ================== The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: • From physical to virtual wearable sensors • Novel software frameworks and platforms for BSN development • Open Grid/Web-based architectures for wireless sensor networks • Management of data streams from BSNs • Process management in large-scale systems based on wireless body sensor networks • Integration techniques between Clouds and BSNs • BSN and Cloud computing for e-Health, sport and leisure applications • Sensor technology and biocompatibility • Home monitoring and assisted living applications • Debugging, and testing of BSN platforms and applications • Clinical trials and experiences of BSN platforms • BSN for disaster/emergency management and social interaction Important Dates =============== • Deadline for paper submission: August 30, 2012 • Completion of first review: November 30, 2012 • Revision due: January 31, 2013 • Final decision notification: February 28, 2013 • Final manuscript due: March 15, 2013 • Publication date: Fourth Quarter of 2013 Submission Instructions ======================= All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

CFP: Workshop on Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges (Deadline: May 9th, 2012)
by Andreas Riener 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges May 14-15, 2012, Vienna, Austria MOTIVATION HCI research over three decades has shaped a wide spanning research area at the boundaries of computer science and behavioral science, with an impressive outreach to how humankind is experiencing information and communication technologies in literally every breath of an individuals life. The explosive growth of networks and communications, and at the same time radical miniaturization of ICT electronics have reversed the principles of human computer interaction. Up until now considered as the interaction concerns when humans approach ICT systems, more recent observations see systems approaching humans at the same time. Humans and ICT Systems apparently approach each other confluently. Human Computer Confluence has been mentioned to become a research priority in "Horizon 2020" (2013-2020), the funding programme of the European Commission that follows after the 7th Framework Programme (FP7, 2007-2013). HC2 VISIONS is a research agenda solicitation action (FP7 FET Project HC2) which may or may not be influential to the FET work programme discussion on new directions in human computer confluence. The HC2 VISIONS workshop invites key experts to pose initial research challenge statements articulated by the scientific community in a crowd sourced solicitation attempt. The goals of the workshop are to shape research challenge statements indicating (i) vision, (ii) research approach and (iii) expected impact of prospective research issues by world leading experts in the field. HC2 VISIONS is accompanied by a web-based white-book initiative at www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION HC2 VISIONS is an open dialog and invites interested scientists, researchers as well as industrial stakeholders to participate and actively engage. If you want to present your idea in a 5 min position statement in the HC2 VISIONS dialogue sessions, please send an approx. 400 word summary to hc2visions(a)pervasive.jku.at by May 9, 2012. A PDF Call for Participation is available online at: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions/HC2_Visions_CfP.pdf WORKSHOP LOCATION The workshop will be hosted by and is located at the head quarter of the Austrian Computer Society OCG. The objective of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) is the comprehensive and interdisciplinary promotion of information processing, with due regard to its effects on man and society.

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "Methodical Approaches to Prove the Effects of Subliminal | | Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments" | | | | Pittsburg, PA, USA; September 8, 2012 | | colocated with UbiComp 2012 (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/UbiComp12 | | Submission deadline (position papers): May 28, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- There has been much debate around perception of subliminal cues, and their effect on human behavior, especially whether such an effect indeed exists or is only a false marketing myth (Vicary, 1957). As the preven- tion of additional cognitive workload in HCI is a topic of increasing importance, new forms or modalities of interaction between humans and interfaces need to be explored. One promising approach is to use subliminal stimulation or the injection of information below aware perception. To throw light on this issue, the workshop is centered on the questions how subliminal effects can be scientifically supported or how a certain claim could be empirically re- futed. Researchers are welcome to submit position papers by May 28th, 2012 via the electronic paper submission system available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). Papers must describe the app- roach and experimental setting used for testing subliminal interaction in HCI, as well as provide a discussion whether or not the effect could have been scientifically supported. More detailed information about aim, submission and review process, etc. is available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- We are interested in receiving contributions & discussing topics at the workshop related to: * Philosophy, rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in UbiComp environments * Ethical issues in application of subliminal perception and impact * Risk assessment in subliminal interfaces (from the view of the user or the system developer) * Qualitative/quantitative evaluation methodologies for the perception of subliminal information * Subliminally delivered information and relation to other constructs such as cognitive load, perceived performance, emotions, etc. * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, appropriate mo- dalities, speed of perception, strength/ duration/frequency) * Effectiveness of subliminal perception in UbiComp environments (such as context-aware adaptive interfaces, user-aware adaptive interfaces, personalized commercials,...) * Subliminal perception using different modalities (visual: flashing picture, video, text; auditory: compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds; haptic/tactile; olfactory, or others) * Issues with subliminal perception, such as social acceptance or pre- ference, privacy issues, security issues * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (gender, age, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ethnologic background) Please submit your position papers of up to 6 pages in SIGCHI archival format using the workshop paper submission system available at <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12> SIGCHI templates can be downloaded at the the UbiComp 2012 template web- page at (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012/calls/templates.html).

IEEE MASS 2012, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, aims at addressing advances in research on multihop ad hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development. Topics of Interest: Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) including systems and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs Application Layer Protocols Architectures of wired/wireless networks Capacity planning and admission control Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity Cognitive networking Cooperative and cognitive communication Cooperative sensing in WSNs Cross layer design and optimization Cyber-physical systems Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination Data transport and management in WSNs Delay tolerant networks Experiences from real-world applications and long-term deployments Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking Internet/Cloud of Things Key management and trust establishment Key management and trust establishment in wireless networks Localization and synchronization MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications Measurements, experimental systems and test-beds Mobile computing and networking Mobility management Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies Network Layer protocols Networked smartphone applications Novel applications and architectures for WSNs Operating systems and middleware support Opportunistic networking P2P, overlay, and content distribution Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design QoS and Resource management Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning Robotic networks Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast Security and privacy Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks Smart grid Smart healthcare Smart transportation Social networks Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues Vehicular networks and protocols Wireless mesh networking Paper Submission and Review: Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 9 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 × 11 inch pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format, through EDAS. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee, and each paper will receive at least three reviews. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference. Based on reviews and TPC discussions, the TPC may choose to accept some papers as short papers (5 pages). For all papers, IEEE reserves the right to exclude the paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers determined to be out-of-scope for the conference or lacking substantial original contributions may be subject to Early Reject process. Important Dates: Full paper submission deadline: Monday, April 23, 2012 (firm) Paper acceptance notification: Monday, July 16, 2012 Paper camera-ready deadline: Monday, August 6, 2012 Workshops, Posters, and Demos: Proposals for full-day workshops to be held together with the conference are solicited. The conference will also include a poster and demo session. Refer to the separate Call for Workshop Proposals, Call for Posters, and Call for Demos on the website for details, including submission instructions.
