-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication & Healthcare Mobihealth 2012: submission deadline 15 July 2012 Datum: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:53:00 +0200 Von: Justina <justina.senkus(a)eai.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ============================================================================ 3rd International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication & Healthcare - Mobihealth 2012 21st and 23rd November 2012 Paris, France http://mobihealth.name/show/home ============================================================================ HIGHLIGHTS - Keynote Speakers: Mr. Alain Ripart, Sorin Group, Mrs. Anne Monnier, ASIP Santé; Mr. Jean Schwoerer, Orange - Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more. - All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries - The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation (www.eai.eu), a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT CALL FOR PAPERS [Scope] The third edition of MobiHealth proposes to continue and extend the focus areas of the first two. The essence of the conference lies in its interdisciplinary nature, with original contributions cutting across boundaries but all within the ambit of the application of mobile communications (technologies, standards, solutions, methodologies) to the betterment of human health. As such, the conference will have a multi-tier approach: going from in-body sensor devices to ubiquitous patient monitoring environments. [Topics] The main themes will include (but are not limited to): - Advances in sensor devices for biomedical monitoring; - Intra-body communication issues (propagation & transmission); - Body Area networks (architectures, protocols, scheduling); - Heterogeneous and in-/on-/out- networks; - Wearable, outdoor and home-based applications; - Data collection and management at hubs, mobile devices and gateways; - Energy management and optimisation issues in biomedical devices and networks; - Decision support algorithms for data analysis; - Healthcare telemetry and telemedicine; - Remote diagnosis and patient management; - Accuracy, reliability, security, protection, identity, privacy, of diagnoses and data; - All-pervasive wireless systems for health applications; - Factoring in the environment (hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living) [Keynote addresses] Keynote addresses: Three keynotes will cover the varied interests of the participants. They will be given by leading experts from industry, standardization and public authorities: - "Electronics systems for biomedical" - "The present and future of body-area networks" - "Putting the patient at the centre of the process" [Workshops] Two workshops are proposed: - "Making the ambient environment count in the diagnostic process". Intelligent home space where the physical condition of the patient is gleamed from environment sensors (fall, humidity) rather than sensors that measure only physiological parameters of the patient. Advantage: Increased fidelity of the diagnosis; less intrusive and cumbersome elements. - "Combining in- on- and off-". This will deal with an important issue: the combination of several in-, on- and out-body sensors that make up a diagnosis platform. The two topics mentioned above could potentially attract researchers in several areas thanks to the multidisciplinary approach inherent to them: diagnosis, security, medical service platforms, medical database management, etc for the first; propagation in and around the human body, wireless communication, body area network management, etc for the second. [Tutorial] Tutorial: The special focus of this conference is "health for the poor". This is driven by the need to understand and explore how technology can become an enabling factor rather than a hindrance to the delivery of health services to these populations. Any viable e-Health or biomedical solution to this scenario has to satisfy the dual conditions of low cost and ease of utilization. [Publications] The Proceedings of Mobihealth 2012 will be published in LNICST, appear in SpringerLink and will be referenced in ICST's digital library, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus. See http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-1068921-0 for more information about indexing. [Special issue] Selected papers will be recommended for publication IEEE's Transactions on Biomedical Electronics journal. [Paper submission] Submission: Authors are invited to submit papers in the format defined by the Springer LNICST Authors' Kit. Regular papers and invited papers are allowed up to 8 pages including all figures, tables and references. Up to 2 extra pages may be included at an additional charge. Details on the submission: http://mobihealth.name/show/authors-kit.

At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such a diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. The importance of testbed-based evaluation of wireless network protocols/applications as well as characterization of real-world aspects using traces from operational networks is gaining wider recognition in the mobile and wireless networking research community. This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee. Apart from regular paper presentations, the workshop program will include an interactive session with demos and posters. We welcome demonstrations of novel wireless network testbed capabilities and measurement results. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms * Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments * Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies * Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures * Testbed management issues and monitoring support * Wireless testbed case studies * Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols, including the impact of cross-layer interactions * Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations * Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks * Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments * Studies on real-world white-space networks * Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks * Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing * Implementation approaches to ease transition between different evaluation methodologies * New measurement methodologies and infrastructures * Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless * networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics * Interference and spectrum usage measurements * Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies * Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and management Important Dates *Poster/demo submission deadline: July 2nd, 2012 *Poster/demo notification: July 6, 2012 *Camera Ready version due: July 8th, 2012. *Workshop date: August 22, 2012 Poster/Demo submission instructions: Poster/Demo submissions will be handled by emailing the writeup to wintech_posterdemo(a)live.in <mailto:wintech_posterdemo@live.in> with the following requirements: *A maximum of TWO 8.5"x11" pages (including figures, tables, and references) *The write-up must be in two-column format, using 10-point size or greater and reasonable margins and must use PDF format *For demos, a third page should be included that lists the requirements for the demo at the workshop venue if the demo is selected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM CHANTS 2012 Demo Proposal - submission deadline July 1 2012 Datum: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:11:52 +0100 Von: Eiko Yoneki <eiko.yoneki(a)CL.CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Organisation: University of Cambridge An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call For Demo Proposal - 7th ACM Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2012) Co-located with ACM MobiCom August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE IMPORTANT DATES: - Demo Submission deadline: July 1, 2012 - Please submit title/authors (only register) of the demo proposal by June 27th 11:59pm PST. http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings.
