-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'04) Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 11:06:36 +0800 From: Alvin Chan <cstschan(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> The First 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.

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. Hörtner, 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. Further information can be obtained from the conference website, the Tutorials Chair (tutorials(a)pervasive2004.org) or the Workshops Chair (workshops(a)pervasive2004.org) respectively. * Conference Chairs General Chair Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zürich, CH) Program Committee Chair Alois Ferscha (Univ.
