[Fwd: 2nd CfP Pervasive 2004: Conference on Pervasive Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2nd CfP Pervasive 2004: Conference on Pervasive Computing Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 17:51:04 +0200 (MEST) From: Pervasive 2004 Publicity Chair <publicity(a)pervasive2004.org> To: <lars.wolf(a)KOM.tu-darmstadt.de> ********************************************************************* * * * Call for Papers * * * * P E R V A S I V E 2004 * * 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing * * * * Linz / Vienna, Austria * * April 19-23, 2004 * * * * http://www.pervasive2004.org * * * ********************************************************************* * Description A vast manifold of tiny, embedded and autonomous computing and communication systems have started to create and populate a pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape, characterized by the autonomy of their programmed behavior, the dynamics and context- awareness of services and applications they offer, the ad-hoc interoperability of services and the different modes of user interaction upon those services. This is mostly due to technological progress like the maturing of wireless networking, exciting new information processing possibilities induced by novel microprocessor technologies, low power storage systems, smart material, and motor-, controller-, sensor- and actuator technologies. A future computing scenario is envisioned in which almost every object in our everyday environment will be equipped with embedded processors, wireless communication facilities and embedded software to perceive, perform and control a multitude of tasks and functions. Since many of these objects are already able to communicate and interact with global networks and with each other, the vision of context-aware "smart appliances" and "smart spaces" has already become a reality. Service provision is based on the ability of being aware of the presence of other objects or users, and systems can be designed in order to be sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs, habits and even emotions. With pervasive computing technology embodied into real world objects like furniture, clothing, crafts, rooms, etc., those artefacts also become the interface to "invisible" services and allow to mediate between the physical and digital (or virtual) world via natural interaction - away from desktop displays and keyboards. Novel interface concepts for situated interaction give rise for bringing the interaction with computers "back to the real world". All these observations pose serious challenges to the conceptual architectures of computing, and the related engineering disciplines in computer science. PERVASIVE 2004, the Second International Conference on Pervasive Computing, provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working in all foundational and applied research areas of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. It will include presentations, workshops, tutorials and multimedia demonstrations on subjects like: * Focus Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Architectures Sensors and Actuators / Computational Perception "Smart" Appliances / Ambient Intelligence New Technologies / New Materials / Small Artefacts Displays / Vision / Mixed Reality Systems Spontaneous / Wireless / Mobile Communication Networked Embedded Systems Context Awareness / Autonomous Computing Coordination Models and Systems Middleware and Software Frameworks Interaction Models / Interaction Design User Interfaces (e.g. Situative/Tangible/Attentive) Emerging Industrial / Business Scenarios Social / Privacy / Security Issues * Submissions Submissions to PERVASIVE 2004 are welcome in the categories Regular Papers and Tech-Notes, Doctoral Colloquium, Videos, and Tutorials and Workshops. * Regular Papers and Tech-Notes Regular papers should present original, highly innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the categories given above. Just like regular papers, tech-notes should present directing research, but in very focused and compact format. Tech-notes are not understood as short papers condensed into less page space, but are intended to present pointed results at a high level of technicality. Submissions in this category will be handled electronically and must be in PDF or PostScript file format. Regular papers must not exceed 18 pages (or approx. 10000 words, including text, figures and references), tech-notes must not exceed 5 pages (or approx. 2500 words) formatted single column, single-spaced in Springer LNCS style available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Accepted regular papers and tech-notes will be published in the conference proceedings. PERVASIVE 2004 will adopt a double-blind process for regular paper and tech-note review, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers and vice versa. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the paper or in the PDF or postscript file. Submitted papers and tech-notes must be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will not be considered for the review process. To submit a paper or tech-note, please refer to the paper submission link (available from October 1st, 2003) at the conference website. Questions about the papers and tech-notes submission process should be directed to the Program Committee Chair (A. Ferscha, Univ. Linz) at progchair(a)pervasive2004.org. * Doctoral Colloquium The PERVASIVE 2004 doctoral colloquium, to be held right before the main conference during April 19-20 in Linz, Austria, invites PhD students and candidates to present, discuss and defend their work-in-progress or preliminary results in an international, agile and renowned audience of junior and senior researchers and developers in the pervasive computing field. Thesis position papers (5 pages or approx. 2500 words) are solicited relating a problem statement, methodological approach, potential for innovation and expected contribution to the international pervasive computing literature. Accepted submissions will be presented during the colloquium and will be included in the PERVASIVE 2004 adjunct proceedings. The PERVASIVE 2004 Doctoral Colloquium Certificate, signed by the international colloquium committee will be handed to the successful presenters. Further information can be obtained from the conference website or the Doctoral Colloquium Chair (G. Kotsis, Univ. Linz) at doctoral(a)pervasive2004.org. * Videos Submissions are invited to present novel pervasive computing systems, devices or just designs, or demonstrate innovative styles of interaction or usability of those systems - in a lively format: as a video. Video clips should be no longer than 8 minutes and be accompanied by a 4 page (or approx. 2000 words) written summary. The author(s) of a video are expected to present a brief introduction at the conference, while all full videos will be presented during the PERVASIVE 2004 Video Night - a special event at a historic place in Vienna. Video papers will be published in the PERVASIVE 2004 adjunct proceedings, all video clips will be presented in the PERVASIVE 2004 Video DVD. Further information can be obtained from the conference website or the Video Chair (H. HÃ¶rtner, Ars Electronica Center) at video(a)pervasive2004.org. * Tutorials and Workshops PERVASIVE 2004 tutorials will provide the dissemination of advanced concepts, technologies and skills to the participants. Tutorial submissions should focus on seminal and pioneering topics of pervasive computing or cover an outstanding new branch of pervasive computing research. Workshop sessions will provide inspiring and influencing discussion on pervasive computing topics. Each workshop aims at the sharing and consolidation of new research ideas and fosters future co-operations. Workshop proposals may be related to any topic of pervasive computing.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP Deadline Extended: Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'04) Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2003 22:21:51 +0800 From: Alvin Chan <cstschan(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> MP2P'04: Deadline extended to Oct 10, 2003 1st International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'04) http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~mp2p2004 In conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom’04) (http://www.percom.org/) Orlando, Florida, USA, March 14 – 17, 2004 ================================================== Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by direct, symmetric interaction between computers. With the advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, P2P computing, in both academic research and industrial development, has recently begun to extend its scope to address problems relevant to mobile devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location- dependency, and energy and resource sensitivity, and the diversity in wireless networks bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P computing. MP2P’04 is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing. It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer-based information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme of MP2P’04 is the development of protocols, systems and applications for mobile P2P computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: • Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing • Routing protocols for mobile P2P computing • Resource and service discovery in mobile P2P computing • Peer access and control in mobile environment • Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile devices • Secure communication protocols for mobile P2P computing • Mobile P2P messaging systems • Peer-to-peer broadband wireless communications • Applications of mobile P2P Paper Submission: ----------------- MP2P 2004 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission through the submission website is strongly encouraged. Hard copies will be accepted only if electronic submission is not possible.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Submissions: 13th IEEE LANMAN 2004 Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 10:54:23 -0700 From: Sharma, Puneet <puneet_sharma(a)hp.com> To: 'itc(a)comsoc.org' <itc(a)comsoc.org> Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies. ============================================================================ Call for Submissions 13th IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN 2004) April 25-28, 2004, San Francisco Bay Area, USA http://www.ieee-lanman.org Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society Keynote Speaker : Dr. Lawrence Roberts, Internet Pioneer, CTO and Chairman of Caspian Networks The IEEE LAN/MAN Workshop continues its tradition as a leading forum for discussing the latest technical advances in networking in the local and metropolitan areas. A focus area for the upcoming workshop will be metro and access networks, where optical and broadband wireless technologies are vying to realize true broadband connectivity, promising abundant, inexpensive, and readily available bandwidth. Yet the realization of agile and cost effective metro and access networks requires both theoretical investigations (including new architectures, concepts, and economic and service models) and experimentation (including prototypes, testbeds, and applications). Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking; we specifically welcome submissions on both optical and broadband wireless networks and relevant experimental activities. Submissions should be short, focused, and provide a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged. Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: * Optical WDM networks based * Emerging access networks: on packet, burst, and flow Ethernet in the First switching Mile, EPONs, FTTx * Resilient Packet Rings * Measurement and modeling * Broadband Wireless Access of network operation and Networks performance * WiFi roaming services and * Resource provisioning, architectures QoS, dynamic bandwidth * IEEE standards (802.3ah, allocation, capacity .16, .17, .20) placement * Network survivability, * Routing self-healing rings * Community networks and * Topology adaptation, services reconfigurability * Pricing, multi-vendor * Optical network interoperability management, security The 13th LAN/MAN workshop will be held April 25-28, 2004 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The workshop's proximity to Silicon Valley places it at the center of innovation for emerging networking technology. Submission, Review and Publication: Please submit a 2-4 page extended abstract, including figures and tables. All abstracts must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the guidelines in the workshop website http://www.ieee-lanman.org. Abstracts and copies of slides will be included in the proceedings, so please do not send or prepare full papers. Selected papers will be directed to a post-conference journal publication. Important Dates: Submissions Due: Dec. 30, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 15, 2004 Workshop: April 25-28, 2004 Attendees: The number of workshop attendees is limited.
