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, medical, and legal as well as financial perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patients’ and practitioners’ needs); * design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, services and applications; and * organizational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. THE CONFERENCE 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 healthcare 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 healthcare professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. PUBLICATION: Authors will be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The acceptance rate was around 30% for Pervasive Health 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Pervasive Health 2015 will accept submissions in the following categories: *Full papers (up to 8 pages)* Full papers are submissions describing results and original research work not submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories listed above. 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 (up to 4 pages)* 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. *Posters (up to 4 pages)* 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)* 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)* 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)* 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. Innovative, high-risk frontier research ideas are particularly welcome as a main topic of a workshop. *Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages)* This full day event will enable doctoral students to present and reflect on their work alongside other doctoral students and a panel of experts. Submissions have to address the following questions: 1) What is the problem? What are you going to solve? 2) Who cares? Why should people care about this problem? 3) What have other people done about it? Literature review. Why is that not sufficient? What are the gaps and unanswered questions? 4) What are you going to do about it? Your approach 5) What are you really going to do about it? Methods, operationalization, sample 6) When do you know you are done? 7) What do you expect to find? What did you find? Results 8) What does this mean? Conclusions 9) Who cares? Implications 10) What would you like to know from the DC faculty panel? Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 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 Doctoral Colloquium papers will not be published to ensure the student's work is kept in confidence, however students will present their work in a presentation during the doctoral colloquium and via a poster in the main conference poster session. Students are requested to provide a short letter from their advisor noting their year in the program, years until the student should defend, and how the DC will help with their research. *Endorsed by EAI Endorsed Transactions*** *Conference by *** *Technical cosponsor * *About EAI*- The European Alliance for Innovation is a dynamic eco-system for fostering ICT enabled innovation to improve European competitiveness and to benefit society.

Apologies for any duplicate postings. IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” This feature topic will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications. In particular for wireless sensor networks, because of its ultra-low-power operation, such small, wireless, autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power which is scavenged in milli-watts or even micro-watts. If these wireless sensors, which spread throughout a home or factories, in-buildings or even outdoor to monitor all kind of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace and no labour costs associated with replacing them, in other words, self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the ﬂuctuating availability of energy sources. For an overview of the state-of-the-art in energy harvesting communications design, and for a relevant example of an IEEE Communications Magazine article's style and content, please refer to "Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting Communications Systems" by D. Gunduz, K. Stamatiou, N. Michelusi, and M. Zorzi, in IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 210-216, Jan 2014. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply, and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grid allows further efﬁcient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this feature topic is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has signiﬁcant beneﬁts to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This feature topic will focus on energy harvesting related issues in communications. It will also present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the emerging area of energy harvesting communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve a practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. This feature topic solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Energy harvesting base station, access point, and relay; · Energy-efﬁcient and energy harvesting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; · Low-power and energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Characterization of light, thermal, wind, motion, and RF energy harvesting; · Communication protocols for wireless charging networks and systems; · Energy harvesting storage and recycling; · Software-deﬁned networking for energy harvesting communications; · Sustainable network architectures using energy harvesting; · Theoretic approaches and design methodologies; · Testbed and experimental validation; · Energy harvesting for rare events sensing; · Event-powered energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Energy harvesting for industrial and intelligent systems; · Standardization of energy harvesting communications. Note that articles on green communications that do not directly address energy harvesting will be considered out of scope for this feature topic. Please consider directing such articles to the "Green Communications and Computing Networks" Series of IEEE Communications Magazine. Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS – Special issue of Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems (SUSCOM) on Disruptive Technologies for Energy-Efficient Computing Datum: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 00:46:30 +0200 Von: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> Antwort an: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> Organisation: University of Arizona An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS – Special issue of Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems (SUSCOM) on Disruptive Technologies for Energy-Efficient Computing Scope: The energy consumption of computing systems and infrastructures is a major obstacle towards realizing new computing paradigms. Despite significant advancements in the power-efficiency of processors and an increasing awareness of energy among the computing systems research community, it is becoming clear that the energy obstacle can only be overcome with disruptive and unconventional technologies that span the entire hardware and software stack. Foundational work that pushes the limits of energy consumption to the absolute minimum, while sustaining functionality, performance and the familiar user interfaces is essential in this direction. From devices, to new computing algorithms and paradigms, to software, to applications, research should envision a zero-power computing ecosystem replacing the current power-aware computing ecosystem. This vision will raise unprecedented challenges in all functional and non-functional aspects of computing, including performance, resil! ience, accuracy, programability and usability. In this special issue, we seek original work that addresses how disruptive technologies can improve the energy-efficiency of the current computing ecosystem. These technologies may include but are not limited to processor, memory, storage and networking technologies; cooling technologies; and energy harvesting, storage and recycling technologies. Papers should clearly articulate the disruptive aspects of the technology presented and demonstrate pathways to integrate the technology in the hardware & software stack via experimental prototypes or simulation. We solicit papers that span all major computing markets where energy-efficiency is of essence, including sensors, mobile computing, HPC systems and datacenters. Specific topics include, but not limited to, the following topics in Energy Efficiency: • Hardware architecture • Ultra low-voltage processors • Accelerators • Reconfigurable processors • Heterogeneous multicore processors • System-on-chip • Non-volatile memory technologies • Phase Change Memory • Novel router architectures • Novel mobile architectures and devices • System software • Software integration of disruptive technologies • Operating systems • Virtualization • Energy abstractions in languages and programming models • Novel routing protocols • Novel mobile systems • Data center Architecture • System support for energy-harvesting technologies • Cooling technologies • Alternative energy • Alternative infrastructure designs Submission Details: General information for submitting papers to SUSCOM can be found athttp://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/ (please note the “Guide for Authors” link). Submissions to this Special Issue (SI) should be made using Elsevier’s editorial system at the journal website (http://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/, under the “submit paper” link). Please make sure to select the “SI: Disruptive Tech” option for the type of the paper during the submission process. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed using the normal standards of SUSCOM.
