-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM Multimedia Systems 2014 (MMSys'14) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 16:08:43 +0800 Von: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ACM MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CONFERENCE (MMSYS 2014) MARCH 19-21, 2014, SINGAPORE. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Multimedia systems permeate many aspects of our daily life, and are steadily developed further. MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore: - Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in one of more components, or - Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services. Such individual system components include: - Operating systems - Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements - Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers - Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia - New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses and algorithms for their operation - Representation of continuous or time-dependent media - Metrics, measures and measurement tools to assess performance This touches aspects of many hot topics: DASH, games, virtual environments, augmented reality, 3D video, immersive systems, telepresence, multi- and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile streaming, P2P, Clouds, cyber-physical systems – explore the connections on http://www.mmsys.org All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the technical program committee. Full papers will be evaluated for their scientific quality. Accepted papers must reach a high scientific standard and document unpublished research. Best papers' authors will be invited to submit a modified version of their contribution to the ACM TOMCCAP (Transaction on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications) journal. Student travel grants are available for a limited number of full-time student participants attending the conference. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be between 6 and 12 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style and written in English. The unusual length of MMSys papers is meant to enable authors to present entire multimedia systems or present research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published in the ACM Digital Library; they are available for just as long as journal papers and authors should not feel compelled by space limitations to publish extended works on top of an MMSys paper. Authors who submit very specific, detailed research work that does not require such brevity are encouraged to use less than 12 pages. The submission site is open: http://liubei.ddns.comp.nus.edu.sg/mmsys2014/index IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper Submission Deadline: September 27, 2013 Acceptance Notification: November 25, 2013 Camera Ready Deadline: January 15, 2014 CONTACT For further queries and extra information, please contact Wei Tsang Ooi at ooiwt(a)comp.nus.edu.sg ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Workshop on Device to Device and Public Safety Communications (WDPC), > > Co-located with IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), April 6-9 2014, Istanbul, Turkey > > Device-to-Device (D2D) communications as an underlay for wireless cellular networks is viewed as a key technology for providing seamless, high-quality wireless access in next-generation wireless systems. The D2D concept is built around the idea of allowing the wireless devices to communicate with one another via direct D2D links over licensed or unlicensed spectrum. Unlike traditional short-range D2D technologies such as Bluetooth or Zigbee, D2D in cellular systems is expected to provide high capacity and guaranteed QoS over long ranges. D2D is also expected to lead to novel wireless applications such as proximity services and robust public safety communications. Indeed, D2D is seen as a key feature of 5G wireless systems. However, reaping the benefits of D2D requires handling several challenges such as interference management, self-organization, network discovery, and resource allocation, among others. > > Main Topics > The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to D2D and PS communications.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- IEEE Communications Magazine -- Context-Aware Networking and Communications
by Lars Wolf 09 Sep '13

Anfang der weitergeleiteten E‑Mail: > Von: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > Datum: 6. September 2013 20:48:23 MESZ > An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG > Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- IEEE Communications Magazine -- Context-Aware Networking and Communications > Antwort an: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > > Call for Papers > IEEE Communications Magazine > > Context-Aware Networking and Communications > > Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user’s context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. > A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). > Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). > This feature topic’s scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. > The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: > > · Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture > · Context-aware green communications and computing networking > · Context-aware modeling and analysis methods > · Context-aware security approaches > · Context-aware distributed systems > · Context-awareness in the Internet of Things > · Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web > · Context-aware data storage and cloud computing > · Context-aware recommender systems > · Context-awareness in smart spaces > · Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks > · Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution > · Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction > · Context-aware communications services and applications > · Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking > · Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing > · Mobile phone sensing > · Personal awareness in smart environments > · Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers > · Context-aware social networks > · Urban awareness for communications and networking > · Social agents and avatars > · Virtual humans for communications and networking > · Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications > > Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Pervasive Health 2014 Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 16:14:51 +0200 (CEST) Von: EAI Events <no-reply(a)eai.eu> Antwort an: no-reply(a)eai.eu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PERVASIVE HEALTH 2014 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 20-23 May 2014, Oldenburg, Germany www.pervasivehealth.org CONFERENCE AIMS PervasiveHealth is a premier international forum with specific focus on technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous computing in healthcare and wellbeing. The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: • identify and understand problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); • design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and • organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. The Pervasive Healthcare conference in Oldenburg aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. We welcome contributions from the following fields: • Sensing Technologies and Pervasive Computing • Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) • Hardware and Software Infrastructures IMPORTANT DATES • Workshop Proposals: 4 November 2013 • Full Paper Submission: 2 December 2013 • Short Papers and Posters: TBA • Medical Perspective Abstracts: TBA • Notification of Acceptance: 14 February 2014 • Camera Ready: 14 March 2014 • Conference Dates: 20-23 May, 2014 TOPICS We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to: Pervasive Healthcare Management • Challenges surrounding data quality • Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare • Business cases and cost issues • Security and privacy issues • Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare • Legal and regulatory issues • Staffing and resource management Understanding Users • Identifying and addressing stakeholder needs • Usability and acceptability • Barriers to adoption, and enablers • Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion • Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services • Patient empowerment • Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements • Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations • Digital interventions and health behavior change Knowledge Representation and Reasoning • Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data • Activity recognition and fall detection • User modelling and personalization • Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environments • Sensor-based decision support systems • Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors • Wearable and implantable sensor integration • Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments • Data mining medical patient records • Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware • Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications • Autonomous systems to support independent living • Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies • Telemedicine • Chronic disease and health risk management applications • Health/Wellbeing promotion and disease prevention • Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring • Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients • Smart homes and hospitals • Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data • Wellbeing and lifestyle support • Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairments • Systems to support caregivers VENUE PervasiveHealth 2014 will be conducted in Oldenburg, a medium-sized city in northwestern Germany, in the middle between Hamburg (D) and Amsterdam (NL). Embedded in a beautiful, unspoiled natural landscape the former residence of counts, dukes and grand dukes is now home to 160,000 people and a vibrant, modern city - a university city with 4 universities and more than 20,000 students. Going to Oldenburg is easy: Bremen airport is only 45 minutes away and is just one hop from the major international airport hubs Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Paris. Other major airports in easy reach are in Hamburg, Hanover and Münster/Osnabrück. SUBMISSIONS and PUBLICATION The conference invites the submission of original work through the Confy paper submission system in one or more of the following formats: full and short papers, workshops, posters, interactive demonstrations. Pervasive Health 2014 will accept submissions in the following categories: Full papers (up to 8 pages submissions) - Full papers are submissions describing results and original research work not submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories listed below. Full papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. Short Papers and Posters (up to 4 pages submissions): short papers are envisioned as submissions describing original research that is much more focused and smaller in scope than full research papers. Short papers are not expected to provide all the details on the research, but rather focus on the most innovative and salient aspects. In addition, short papers are not expected to include a comprehensive review of related work. Short papers will be presented during the main track of the conference. Poster category combines submissions reporting on the progress of ongoing research and insights into the lessons learned from current (industrial, practitioners, government, etc.) pervasive healthcare practice. Medical Perspective Abstracts (1-2 pages submissions) - Authors are invited to submit work in traditional medicine whose results are interesting to Pervasive Health audience. This track will give Pervasive Health attendees a way to learn about ongoing research initiatives, both in medicine and technology, and will provide presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable direct feedback from experts. Demos (2 pages submissions) - The demos track will showcase the latest developments and prototypes related to the topics of interest of the conference. The expected demo submissions should describe the technical details of the demo alongside its contribution to the healthcare domain. Workshop proposals (2 pages submissions) - Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to pervasive healthcare. Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages) – This event will enable doctoral students to present and reflect on their work alongside other doctoral students and a panel of experts. Submissions should include a description of work done, intended future work, alongside a specific research question or challenge that you would like to be discussed at the colloquium. Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 2014 program committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research domains. Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted. The acceptance rate was around 30% for Pervasive Health 2011, 2012 and 2013. All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library (pending). Authors will also be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library (pending). Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more.
