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. In addition to regular research papers, in IPSN 2014, we also encourage submissions of Challenge Papers that lay out visions and future challenges in the field of information processing in sensor networks. Challenge papers are up to 6 page long and the title should start with “Challenge: … ” These submissions are reviewed based on the novelty of the concepts and potential of impacting the field. The conference features two submission tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors are encouraged to read the foci of the tracks and make indications in the submission site accordingly. However, submission tracks are for review preference only. The program committees work together in the review process. Topics: The IP track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors. Topics covered in the IP track include, but are not limited to: • Sensor data processing, mining, and machine learning • Data storage, management, and retrieval • Coding, compression and information theory • Detection, classification, tracking, reasoning, and decision making • Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds • Network and system architectures and protocols • Sensor tasking, control, and actuation • Location, time, and other network services • Programming models and languages • Mobile, participatory, and social sensing • Innovative applications and deployment experiences The 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 components, device platforms and architectures for networked sensing • Innovative sensing and processing platforms including cloud, crowd, and consumer devices • Embedded software for sensor networks • System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis • Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks • Network health monitoring and management • Operating systems and runtime environments • User interfaces for sensing applications and systems • Case studies highlighting experiences, challenges, and comparisons of platforms and tools Submission: Submissions must be full papers.

Commercial, government organizations, and individuals depend on the ability to automatically mine data from different types of sensor platforms (from large sensor networks to an individual's smartphone) in order to monitor, alert, learn from, and in some cases affect and control our surroundings. The research involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, including sensing systems, signal processing, machine learning and data mining, data management, and large-scale distributed systems - for both online as well as offline analysis. †In this workshop, co-located with AMC SenSys 2013, we will include state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of extracting knowledge, by mining data from sensor networks in large-scale settings. The goal of the workshop is to establish a new research community and a venue for researchers, practitioners, and academics to present their results in these disciplines. We expect this workshop to be a long-term, continued venue for this research community, and to also lead to the setup of appropriate special issues and journals. As part of this workshop, we will include both peer-reviewed and invited papers. All accepted papers will be included in the ACM digital library. Original contributions, previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another journal or conference, are solicited in relevant areas, including, but not limited to: 1. Mining data from large-scale sensor networks and smartphone sensing deployments a. Distributed, Parallel, and Scalable Mining Algorithms b. Multi-Modal Mining Algorithms c. Resource-Adaptive (power, network, compute) Mining d. Mining sparsely sampled, noisy, and untrustworthy data e. Mining big data collected from large-scale smartphone sensing deployments f.

2nd workshop on "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" (@AutoUI'2013)
by Andreas Riener 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 2nd workshop on "The Social Car" | | "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" | | | | Eindhoven, The Netherlands; October 27th, 2013 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2013 (http://www.auto-ui.org/13) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline (position papers): August 26th, 2013 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- Successful application of collective, socially inspired driving mecha- nisms requires to understand how socially-inspired cars/vehicles (i.e., driver-car pairs) could make use of their social habitus, composed from (past & present) driving behavior, social interactions with pedestrians, vehicles, infrastruc ture, etc. , and drivers' vital states when exposed to other road participants in live traffic. In response to this emerging research direction, the aim of this work- shop is to achieve a common understanding of the symbiosis between dri- vers, cars, and infrastructure from a global point of view (referred to as "collective driving"). In particular, this workshop is expected 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? ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * Incentive based optimizations * Improvements triggered by collective behavior * 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 <https://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar> Workshop website: <https://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar> Contact: <mailto:riener@pervasive.jku.at> ------------------| Important Dates for the Workshop |------------------ * Submission deadline: August 26th, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: September 10th, 2013 * Camera ready version due: September 30th, 2013 * Registration deadline: September 25th, 2013 * Workshop date: October 27th, 2013 Please feel free to contact the organizers at any time.
