Dear Colleagues, this is to warmly invite you to consider the following calls for papers: - ACM UBICOMP 2012 Workshop CASEMANS 2012.- Hindawi Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue on Self-* Parallel and Distributed Systems We would like to highlight how the workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedings will be madeavailable online at the ACM Digital Library. Kind regards,Waltenegus, Juha, and Vincenzo. ACM UBICOMP/CASEMANS 2012 - Call for papers Cloud computing, autonomic computing, pervasive computing, and mobile computing tend to be converging to maximize the combinedbenefits of these paradigms. A large number of applications can takeadvantage of this, including healthcare, traffic control, andsocial network applications. However, these applications are complexby nature and introduce several challenges of their own, for example,reliable sensing, accurate context recognition, scalability, security,dealing with previously unforeseen side-effects of adaptations, and so on. These challenges can be meaningfully addressed whenresearchers of diverse background come together to provide differentviews of the same problems and to help each other understandthe complex relationships between contending ideas. The Casemans 2012 workshop aims to open a platform for researchersof ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, and similar fieldsto address these issues. This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2011 by introducing full and short paper sessions. Full papers will demonstrate solid research results (4-6 ACM pages) while short papers (typically 2 ACM Pages) demonstrate visionary, critical and even controversial ideas and work-in-progressthat can encourage discussion and further research. Scope The scope of the workshop can be described by the following terms:- Context-awareness in cloud computing- Context-awareness in energy-efficient computing- Context-awareness in smart spaces- context-awareness in wireless sensor networks- Context-awareness in social networking- Context-awareness in robotics- Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution- Context-based multimodal interaction Information for Authors The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedingswill be made available online at the ACM Digital Library. Manuscriptsshould be prepared according to the ACM Proceedings format. Pleasevisit the ACM template website (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).

Important Dates Paper submission -- June 1Notification -- June 30Camera ready -- July 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue onSelf-* Parallel and Distributed Systems Call for papers (PDF: http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307.pdf,HTML: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307/cfp/) Autonomic computing has been identified as a promising solution to cope with the overwhelming complexity in modern and next-generation computer systems. In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems- Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems- Software design and implementation for energy-awareness- Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing- Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals- Evolvability aspects- Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems- Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems- Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties- Formal validation and verification- Software testing- Parallel and distributed debugging- Application and industrial case studies- Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: WiNTECH 2012 Workshop Datum: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:39:38 -0400 Von: Rozner, Eric <erozner(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] ---- CALL FOR PAPERS ---- WiNTECH 2012 The Seventh ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and Characterization In conjunction with MobiCom 2012 In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. 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 experiment! al 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:23:04 -0600 Von: Mea Wang <meawang(a)ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013 Advances in 3G, WiFi, and WiMax technologies have made mobile gadgets an increasingly popular means of Internet access. Deployment of 4G networks and releases of new smart phones and tablets will undoubtedly raise the demand for better signal coverage, faster transmission, and seamless adaptation. One emerging research direction is wireless access virtualization, in which a group of access points collaboratively provide the illusion of a single wide-coverage access point to simplify connection management on the client side. While enjoying the benefits of accessing information at any time from anywhere, data transmitted over the wireless medium are more susceptible to eavesdropping and packet sniffing. This raises the concerns for data authentication and privacy issues. These technical challenges are aggravated by the proliferation of various cloud services, social networking platforms, and smart connected vehicles. This symposium is devoted to covering original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel architectures, platforms, protocols, and applications in mobile computing and vehicle communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Novel applications, and services for mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Architectures, platforms, and test beds of mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Performance characterization of mobile computing platforms ● User interfaces and systems design for mobile applications ● Mobile and/or vehicle ad hoc networks and sensor networks ● Wireless channel and media access control protocols ● Wireless access virtualization ● Resource management for heterogeneous access networks ● Service integration and inter-networking ● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues ● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability issues ● Novel mobility schemes and analysis of existing solutions ● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 ● Cloud-assisted mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications ● Vehicular networking and communications for intelligent transportation system Submission Guidelines Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/author.htm Paper submission link for this symposium can be found at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/cfp.htm Important Dates Submission Deadline: July 5, 2012 Author Notification: Sept 20, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: Oct 20, 2012 Symposium Co-chairs Mea Wang, University of Calgary, Canada (meawang(a)ucalgary.ca) Xiaoqing Zhu, Cisco Systems Inc., USA (zhuxq(a)alumni.stanford.edu) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
