-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AutoUI 2012 CfP] - The Social Car (socially-inspired C2X interaction) - Deadline Sept. 3rd Datum: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:39:48 +0200 Von: Andreas Riener <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> Antwort an: riener(a)pervasive.jku.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] Notice: Due to several requests we have extended the submission deadline to Monday, September 3rd, 2012 (firm!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "The Social Car" (socially-inspired C2X interaction) | | | | Portsmouth, NH, USA; October 17th 2012 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2012 (http://www.auto-ui.org/12) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline extended to: September 3rd, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- This workshop aims at discussing the potential of cars' socializing one with the other (similar to how humans are exchanging information), and not just translating the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm into the car domain. With the introduction of the concept of "social cars" we attempt to make a blueprint of next generation in-vehicle technologies. This is different from what the Internet of things (IoT) community is talking about in the sense that IoT is sufficient if it has its own ID that could be passively identifiable, whereas social cars have more autonomous capability, so they could serve as a more active and even interactive social being. The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars, addressing questions such as who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation." ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * Relevant parameters to identify/describe social status or behavior of a car (incorporate the driver?) * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, e.g., traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Benefit assessment: why should cars (maybe drivers) disclose their 'social status', 'social relationships'? * Understanding the potentials of socially inspired C2C communication * Crowdsourcing * Driving as a "collaboration" with either passengers or an agent * Implementation of agents/robots for improving V2V communications * The subject of V2V communications (driver to driver, passenger to passenger, driver to passenger, driver to agent, or agent to agent?) * Authentication for in-vehicle social services * Privacy, safety, and/or security issues related to in-vehicle social services * Plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Cultural differences in in-vehicle social services * V2V communications as a personal broadcasting station (or system) * Other than V2V, including V2I (vehicle to infrastructure using road- side units) or V2B (vehicle to broadband cloud (network)) * Optimal protocols for social cars (802.11p, Wimax, NFC, Bluetooth,..) Please submit your position papers (2-6 pages in length, ACM SIG format template; <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>) using the workshop paper submission system available at <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Workshop website: <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Contact: <mailto:riener@pervasive.jku.at> ------------------| Important Dates for the Workshop |------------------ * Submission deadline: September 3rd, 2012 * Notification of acceptance: September 17th, 2012 * Camera ready version due: September 30th, 2012 * Early registration deadline: September 26th, 2012 * Workshop date: October 17th, 2012 (morning) Please feel free to contact the organizers at any time.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2013 CFP Datum: Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:01:59 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. 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 - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 19 and 33. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). 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. 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). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: October 30, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012 - Camera ready: Late January, 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Aaron Crandall, Washington State University, USA Jordi Cucurull Juan, Linköping University, Sweden Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Maciej Kurant, ETH, Switzerland Alan Marchiori, Colorado School of Mines, USA Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Mikko Pitkänen, AALTO, Finland Silvia Santini, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Jing Wang, E2open Inc., USA Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany -- ====================================================== Alessio Vecchio Pervasive Computing & Networking Lab.

On top of the smart infrastructure, different computing paradigms make possible to extract knowledge from non-intrusively acquired data. User-centric paradigms aim at learning about the users to adapt services and applications to their preferences and needs. In a complementary way, environment-centric paradigms pursue the global understanding and optimization of the smart space performance through situation analysis techniques. The fifth edition of SENAmI aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent trends and advances in enabling technologies to deliver personalized applications and explore situation awareness in smart environments. Works on innovation at the service layer (applications and user experience) are also encouraged. The workshop welcomes papers on: - Methodologies and tools for end-user creation of smart environments. - Novel proposals on architectures and middleware for data processing and service delivery in smart environments. - Data fusion and reasoning for situation awareness. - Machine learning techniques for personalization. - Sensors, actuators and novel concepts for personalization. - Novel concepts of services and applications in the smart city (e.g. energy, health, assisted living, tourism, etc.). - Technology for mobile sensing: social and participatory approaches. - Test-beds and real-world deployments and user evaluation of smart services. * SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2013 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. * IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: October 30, 2012 Author Notification: December 21, 2012 Camera-ready Due: January 25, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------- For further information, please refer to SeNAmI 2013’s website: http://www.grpss.ssr.upm.es/senami2013 or contact us at: senami(a)grpss.ssr.upm.es PLEASE CIRCULATE this CFP among your colleagues and students.

Special Issue on Research Advances and Standardization Activities in WLANs Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/re… Scope A new generation of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is going to make its appearance in the upcoming years, with the IEEE 802.11aa (Robust Audio Video Transport Streaming), IEEE 802.11ac (Very-high throughput < 6GHz), IEEE 802.11af (TV White Spaces) and IEEE 802.11ad (Very-high throughput ~60 GHz), as examples of the most expected ones. Nevertheless, all next-generation standards will consider some of the most significant advances on the wireless communication and networking area in the last decade, developed by a highly active community, in both academia and industry. This special issue requests papers that advance the state-of-the-art of the recent and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards (i.e., IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.11aa, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11ae, IEEE 802.11ah, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.11ai, etc.), as well as present mechanisms and solutions, from MAC or above layers, that could be readily transferred to the not-yet finished standards or their future amendments. Please, note that pure PHY-layer papers are outside the scope of this Special Issue, although cross-layer approaches are welcome. In addition, there is special interest in those papers that provide new theoretical and/or experimental insights on the performance of the new and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards in real application scenarios, as well as propose optimal parameter configurations to make them work as much efficiently as possible. Papers proposing, evaluating and comparing disruptive approaches to the path followed by the IEEE 802.11 standards are also very much appreciated. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Coexistence mechanisms between IEEE 802.11 and other wireless networks in unlicensed bands. - Inter-Access point cooperative mechanisms. - Service discovery in WLANs. - Dynamic channel access mechanisms, including cognitive radio techniques and channel bonding strategies. - Link-layer mechanisms to efficiently operate in the new spectrum bands (below 1 GHz, TV White Spaces, 60 GHz band, etc.). - Multiple packet transmission and reception techniques. - Packet aggregation mechanisms. - Energy efficient link-layer protocols for multi-service WLANs with heterogeneous QoS requirements. - Cross-layer Network/MAC techniques for multi-hop networking and cooperative relays. - Advanced relaying strategies for MIMO multicell systems. - Mobility support, vehicular networks and networks of mobile objects. - Multimedia home networking, HDTV and video distribution. - Integration of home and city Smart Grids (M2M communications) in WLANs. Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: September 15, 2012 Author notification: December 15, 2012 Revised paper due: January 31, 2013 Final author notification: March 15, 2013 Expected publication: 2nd quarter 2013 Guest-editors Boris Bellalta (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Alexey Vinel (Tampere University of Technology, Finland) Periklis Chatzimisios (Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece) Raffaele Bruno (IIT/CNR, Italy) Chonggang Wang (InterDigital, USA) Instructions for submission: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: WLANs" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Springer MONET Special Issue on Pervasive Healthcare Datum: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 21:57:08 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> Antwort an: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, TCCN <tccn(a)comsoc.org> Call for Papers for Springer Mobile Networks and Applications Special Issue on “Wireless Technology for Pervasive Healthcare” Since the start of this new century, the proportion of seniors has been increasing more rapidly than other age groups while the newborn rate is steadily decreasing. This global aging problem demands an increased focus on preparing pervasive healthcare systems and applications deployed around users and capable of remotely caring for them and improving their health and well-being anywhere anytime. These systems and applications require a sophisticated integration of microcircuit, medical sensing, and wireless and mobile technologies. They largely benefit users by decreasing the dependability on special caregivers and eventually reducing healthcare expenses through a more efficient use of healthcare resources and an earlier detection of life-threatening emergency situations. However, the realization of pervasive healthcare sets some additional critical requirements, e.g. realtimeness and fault-tolerance, and reliability, security and efficiency challenges compared with traditional hospital-based systems. Exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies as well as Networking and Sensors Technologies will enable cost-effective and efficient healthcare delivery, capable to deal with physical and logical mobility of patients and devices. The focus of this call is on theory and applications of Wireless Technologies towards the definition of the Next Generation Pervasive Healthcare. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited. Possible topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to the following: * Wireless body area networks for remote healthcare monitoring * Energy efficient sensing and communication for pervasive healthcare * Reliable and fault-tolerant communications in pervasive healthcare * Network protocols design and analysis for pervasive healthcare * Data management and resource sharing for pervasive healthcare * Mobile, social, context-aware computing for pervasive healthcare * Integration of different wireless technologies for pervasive healthcare * Remote diagnosis and patient management for pervasive healthcare * Distributed multimedia services for pervasive healthcare * Emergency detection and response for pervasive healthcare * Trust, security, privacy, and QoS provisioning for pervasive healthcare * System architectures, applications & prototypes for pervasive healthcare DATES: Submission deadline: Sep. 15th, 2012 First round of review: Dec. 15th, 2012 Revision deadline: Feb. 15th , 2013 Author notification: Mar. 15th, 2013 Publication date: 2013 GUEST EDITORS: Giancarlo Fortino, Univ.
