-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE ICNP 2013 Call for Posters/Demos Datum: Fri, 5 Jul 2013 11:29:07 +0800 Von: Pan Hui <ben(a)net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Kopie (CC): tolidan(a)tsinghua.edu.cn, mayutan.arumaithurai(a)gmail.com [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] IEEE ICNP 2013: 21st IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Goettingen, Germany -- October 7-11, 2013 http://icnp13.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/home.html Call for Posters/Demos ICNP 2013 will hold a poster and demo session to showcase "work-in-progress". The poster session has been a successful regular event at ICNP in past years and has attracted many bright ideas that have developed into mature conference and journal papers over time. Additionally, for the first time, we will be organizing a demo session along with it. These sessions will provide a great chance for students and researchers to obtain feedback on their ongoing research from knowledgeable conference attendees. In the past, these sessions have been very well attended. While posters and demos are welcome from everyone, for the poster sessions we particularly encourage on-going work in which the primary contributor (i.e., first author) is a student. Extended (2 page) abstracts of the posters or Extended (2 page) description of the demo, which must be submitted in the Portable Document Format (PDF) only, will be reviewed by members of the Poster/Demo Session Committee. The abstracts of accepted posters and demos will be included in the proceedings and in IEEE eXplore. At the conference, posters/demos must be presented by one of the co-authors. Posters submitted to this call for papers should contain unpublished original ideas and not be abbreviations of published papers. Note that acceptance and presentation of a poster at ICNP 2013 will not prevent authors from publishing a more complete version of their ideas in future conferences and journals. Authors of selected demos are expected to send an email to the chairs (icnp13postersdemos(a)gmail.com) with a list of requirements to ensure that it can be arranged. Chairs Mayutan Arumaithurai, NEC Labs Europe, Germany Dan Li, Tsinghua University, China Important dates Submission deadline: July 26, 2013 (23:59 PDT) Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2013 Final version of abstracts: August 12, 2013 Where to submit? By email to: icnp13postersdemos(a)gmail.com Use subject line: ICNP 2013 poster submission or ICNP 2013 demo submission accordingly Registration At least one of the poster/demo co-authors must be registered for the conference to present the poster/demo. Students may register for the conference at the student rate for presenting posters/demo (if they are not presenting a full paper in the conference which requires a full registration). What the final poster should look like? We define a poster to be A0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size), i.e 841mm × 1189mm or 33.11in × 46.81in, on which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either horizontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. You are responsible for printing your poster and bringing it to the conference site. We will provide stands for you to mount your poster materials on.

Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities allow for an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. SenSys provides a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing the rich space of networked sensor system design issues to interact, present and exchange research results, and demonstrate their work in a hands-on research exhibition. SenSys 2013 solicits submissions of both poster and demo abstracts in reflecting research and development in the above areas of interest. Contributions from industry presenting prototypes of platforms and solutions that might enhance future innovative applications are also encouraged. Submitted abstracts will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas. Authors of accepted abstracts will be given a one-minute slot in a "madness session" during the conference to present their work in front of the conference audience. As with previous editions of SenSys, the best poster and demo will receive an award. All abstracts shall be formatted according to the main conference paper layout. Accepted abstracts will appear in the conference proceedings. - IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract submission: July 22nd, 2013 Notification of acceptance: August 19th, 2013 Camera-ready abstract: August 30th, 2013 - SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS - If you are submitting a poster abstract, please add "Poster Abstract:" at the beginning of the abstract's title. Use instead "Demo Abstract:" otherwise. Please submit your abstract here: https://sensys2013.cs.virginia.edu/postersDemos/ - POSTERS - The poster session at SenSys provides a forum for researchers to present their work and receive feedback from experts attending the conference. We explicitly encourage submissions from students. Posters must be submitted as a single PDF containing no more than 3 pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Reminder: CFP: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on Networked Games Datum: Wed, 03 Jul 2013 08:55:14 +1000 Von: grenville armitage <garmitage(a)swin.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================== Call for papers: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on "Networked Games" http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/iccfp3 ========================================================================== Final submission due 1 September 2013 Publication date: May/June 2014 (Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 15 August 2013.) Networked games have grown in popularity over the past decade, catalyzed by the spread of mobile and residential Internet connections with high capacities and low latencies that encourage game developers to incorporate networked features into their products. Although networked games have demonstrated commercial, artistic, and technical successes, challenges and opportunities remain as computer technologies continue to grow. Powerful, inexpensive PCs and game consoles provide the potential for immersive, multiplayer game play, but must still overcome the geographic dispersion of gamers to be fun. Cloud computing promises new models for game computation, with the added challenge of delivering interactive game content to players. Cheap, always-connected smartphones and tablets provide a new frontier for game development, but with the connectivity and security challenges that come with mobile, wireless networks. Underneath all this is the challenge of connecting clients and servers over shared and unpredictably congested IP networks. This special issue aims to bring together new research results from a variety of backgrounds that address these core challenges. Topics of interest include networked game-related work in: - scalability, cloud support, and game system architectures; - performance evaluation and optimization; - effective visualization on Internet infrastructures; - efficient message distribution and network protocol design; - latency issues and lag compensation techniques; - operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware; - multiplayer usability, quality of experience, and user behavior studies; - mobile games; - security and cheat detection and prevention; and - social networking in multiplayer games. Editors' note: We encourage submissions from both academic and industrial practitioners, especially as they pertain to open source tools or products, but content must have technical merit, not be an advertisement. Submission Guidelines All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC's international readershipprimarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with current topics. We do not accept white papers, and we discourage strictly theoretical or mathematical papers. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an account, which you can use to log on to IC's Author Center (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewmagazines/acinternet) and upload your submission.
