IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a multiple of these areas. The conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact the program chairs with questions or clarifications. As an example of these different emphases, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, while studies on the hardware and software platforms and tools used for deployment should be submitted to the SPOTS track. The Information Processing (IP) track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-operated, or social sensors. Topics covered in the IP track include, but are not limited to: - Innovative applications and deployment experiences - Mobile, participatory, and social sensing - Coding, compression and information theory - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Fundamental bounds and formulations - Location, time, and other network services - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Network protocols - Programming models and languages The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track focuses on new hardware and software architectures, modeling, evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, implementations, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems. Submissions are expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and implementations. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are not limited to: - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures - Embedded software for sensor networks - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and study/compare the performance of platforms and tools - Network health monitoring and management - Operating systems and runtime environments - Simulation - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems ------------------------------------------------------------ Organizing Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ General Chair: Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): Kay Romer, University of Lubeck TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): Raj Rajkumar, CMU Demo Chair: Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and Swedish Institute of Computer Science Poster Chair: Tian He, University of Minnesota Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Aman Kansal, Microsoft Research Publications Chair: Raghu Ganti, IBM Research Finance/Sponsorship Chair: Akos Ledeczi, Vanderbilt University Web Chair: Hengchang Liu, UIUC Publicity Co-Chairs: Ying Zhang, Palo Alto Research Center; Li Cui, ICT CAS; Martina Maggio, Lund University PhD Forum Co-Chairs: Polly Huang, NTU ------------------------------------------------------------ Steering Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia (Chair) Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Deborah Estrin, University of California - Los Angeles Leo Guibas, Stanford University William Kaiser, University of California - Los Angeles P.R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [2nd CfP] 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 09:32:28 +0100 Von: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Organisation: University of Cambridge An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call, it has been posted to several relevant mailing lists. Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you very much!] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 14th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26-27 February, 2013 Jekyll Island, GA, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2013/ ACM HotMobile 2013, the 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non- traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2013 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.

IEEE CCNC was organized specifically to help the consumer electronics industry drive the advance of the numerous wireless and wireline communications technologies that will one day provide on-demand access to both entertainment and information anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or location. This includes a detailed analysis of nearly every technological area ranging from cognitive and peer-to-peer networking to the designer services and tools used to ensure ease-of-use, security and stunning interactivity. Overview (IoTCoMM) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) are considered to be the main elements of pervasive computing and have gathered the interest of the research community in the past few years. Such technologies empower computers to perceive the world for themselves leading the way to the new Internet of Things (IoT). This interlinking of physical world and cyberspace foreshadows an exciting endeavor that is highly attractive to researchers, corporations, and individuals. IoT promises to create a global network of physical objects every bit as pervasive and ubiquitous as the worldwide web itself. Some are already describing it as either the ultimate convenience or the ultimate disaster revolving around our daily privacy. What does this mean to those of us who will be encountering IoT? How would IoT transform our lives? And what are the design and deployment challenges associated with such a network? Topics The workshop solicits papers and demos relating to the following topics: IoT Hardware Design -- Hardware aspects of RFID, WSN & WMSN sensor design -- Sensor Actuation & Coordination -- CMOS Camera Design, Integration of Smart Cameras & Others IoT Protocol Design -- Energy-aware communication protocols / Cross-layer optimization / Congestion Control & Reliability -- Collaborative signal processing / Quality-of-Service -- MAC & Transport Protocols / Routing Protocols & Energy Efficiency / Simulation tools, OSs and middleware IoT Applications -- Smart Housing & Smart Retail -- Vehicular Traffic Congestion Management -- Healthcare /Petroleum / Supply Chain -- Other novel applications Submissions must present original results.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers IEEE WiVEC 2013 [Deadline: 01 November 2012] Datum: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 18:39:06 +0200 Von: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] Dear colleagues, As the Publicity Chair of the IEEE WiVEC 2013, may I draw your attention please to this event in June 2013 in Dresden (Germany) addressing the topics vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) wireless communications. The deadline for paper submission is November 1, 2012. Further information is attached below. Best regards Björn Schünemann ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extension August 20th, 2012: IROS'12 2nd Workshop on Robots and Sensors integration in future rescue, INformation system (ROSIN'12), Datum: Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:22:42 +0200 Von: Congduc Pham <congduc.pham(a)univ-pau.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Dear colleagues, The deadline for ROSIN has been extended until August 20th. Please could you help in advertising the CFP. Regards, ====================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IROS'12 2nd Workshop on Robots and Sensors integration in future rescue INformation system (ROSIN'12) October 2012, Vilamoura, Algarve (Portugal) Web site:http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/out/public/ROSIN2012.html ====================================================================================== This workshop will take place in October 11th, 2012 in Vilamoura, Algarve (Portugal), during the 2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS'12). This workshop is supported by the IEEE Robotics and Automation's Technical Committee on Safety Security and Rescue Robotics. Motivation and objectives Intelligent rescue systems including ITC and robotics technology have been proposed to mitigate disasters, especially in Japan after the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Reports on urban emergency relief point out that the most serious difficulty is the delay of communication of reliable information between the authorities in charge, especially district authorities, which are supposed to coordinate efforts in real-time and make requests for support at the city level. In order to do that, the infrastructure of information systems during disasters plays an important role. Future rescue information systems may involve a complex mixture of humans performing high level decision-making, intelligent agents coordinating the response, sensors networks providing real-time observations and robots undertaking physical tasks in large-scale environments with the possibility of taking part in the process of data collection. However, the considered environments are prone to uncertainty, ambiguity and incompleteness given their dynamic and evolving nature. The aims of the workshop are: - To present both state-of-the-art results and work in progress in the area of distributed sensing in the context of robotic and sensor networks integration, - To foster multi-disciplinary collaborations between researchers working on different topics: WSN (Wireless Sensors Network), robotic, disaster management, etc ... thus forming a base for future collaboration. This workshop will focus on the tight integration of sensors-robots and information systems during the rescue process. Topics that are of special interest include but are not limited to: - Distributed information gathering with sensors and robots, - Information systems for disaster management including Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDDS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and participatory GIS - GIS-based approaches for controlling robots, Advanced data management with mobile robots and sensors, GIS spatial representation for robotic systems, - Trust enhancement infrastructure for information gathering during a disaster, Co-design of communication and control protocols for robot-sensor interaction, - Role of robots and sensors in disaster and emergency management processes. The primary audience of the proposed workshop is intended to be researchers and practitioners both from academia and industry with an interest on integration robots, sensors and information systems in the context of disaster or emergency management. In addition, researchers and practitioners from related communities (disaster management, SDDS, GIS) will find this workshop quite useful. Journal Special Issue After the workshop, extended version of the papers could be submitted to the following journal special issues: Special issue of Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (ISSN 2224-2708) on Multimedia Sensor Networks for Mission-Critical Surveillance Applications. http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/special_issues/surveillance_app/ Special issue of International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (ISSN 1550-1329) on Perception, Reaction, and Cognition in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/349658/cfp/ Submissions guidelines All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. At least two reviews for each paper will be conducted. All workshop papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through the Easychair web site and should use the IEEE US letter format. We are looking for submission of full research papers and experiences reports (up to 6 pages) and work in progress submissions (up to 4 pages).
