-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing (M-MPAC 2010) Datum: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:40:39 +0100 Von: Sotirios Terzis <Sotirios.Terzis(a)cis.strath.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers --------------- M-MPAC 2010 Second International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC A Workshop of Middleware 2010 Bangalore, India November 29 - December 3, 2010 Problem Space Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 (that combined the previous editions of MPAC and MobMid), this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. This year is marked by the resurgence of tablet devices (e.g. iPad and a myriad of competing products) that aim to combine the performance of PCs with the portability and freedom of PDAs. This trend drives an increase in the popularity of pervasive mobile and embedded computing. Recent years have also witnessed the rise (and sometimes resurgence) of relatively powerful mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, mobile Internet devices and netbooks, as well as several embedded devices, like TV set-top boxes, portable media players (e.g. iPods), eReaders (e.g. Kindle), etc. These devices have enabled a wide spectrum of novel pervasive applications, such as healthcare monitoring, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, sport tracking, street navigation and observation, context-aware collaborative computing, etc. Moreover, with the rise of cloud computing infrastructures developers have also started exploring the possibility of empowering resource-constrained mobile devices with such infrastructures offering unlimited storage and computing resources. Developing practical applications for this kind of devices is still in most cases a complex and time-consuming process. Many of the existing applications have been built in an ad-hoc manner and without any possibility for code reuse. As the number and type of mobile and embedded devices, and pervasive applications increases, so does the need to enable interoperability among them. Identifying appropriate middleware abstractions and organizing successfully used protocols, algorithms, and software modules into generic middleware platforms can facilitate application development, foster software reuse, and enable rapid prototyping of pervasive applications. It is unclear and in many respects still an unexplored research area to what extent traditional middleware services can be provided on these devices. Porting existing middleware architectures to these new computing platforms turns out to be often infeasible. Instead, a thorough reconsideration of middleware abstractions and their supporting infrastructure is needed to allow applications to make effective use of the available computational power, memory, communication technologies, integrated sensors, etc. An ideal middleware platform should be capable of handling the resource constraints of these devices but at the same time exploit their unique features such as availability of location information, embedded sensors, mobility, spontaneous interaction, context-awareness, etc. Topics The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Device platforms Virtualization technologies and applications Distributed Ensembles Interaction paradigms and protocols Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android) Virtual machines * Networking Emerging wireless technologies and platforms Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network Quality of service and network selection * Data issues Data formats and encoding Availability and durability of data in personal networks Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics (e.g. cameras, iPods, etc) Data portability * Adaptability Context-awareness, location monitoring Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data storage Autonomics and self-* properties * Security and Privacy Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device interactions Security architectures balancing risk and utility Trust management in device ensembles Mobile device data security Identity federation * Mobile and Social Web Web architectures (REST, Ajax) for 3-screen usage in pervasive computing Context and content adaptation and management in pervasive computing Mobile web scalability and reliability in access Content adaptation on mobile devices Collaborative search * Applications Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, shopping, street navigation, etc. Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks Application development on mobile and embedded devices Programming models * Experiences and case studies Lessons from deployments User experiences Performance studies Submission Submissions should not exceed 8 pages and should be formatted using the ACM proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF at http://www.cis.strath.ac.uk/external/m-mpac2010/openconf/. Papers should present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in a special workshop proceedings volume in the ACM Digital Library. The publication of the best workshop submissions and the research roadmap is under investigation.

Fwd: [Tccc] casemans 2010 Deadline extended
by Lars Wolf 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] casemans 2010 Deadline extended Datum: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 10:25:09 +0200 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Deadline for paper submission is extended to June 30, 2010 The 4th ACM international workshop on context-awareness for self-managing systems (casemans 2010) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2010/casemans/index.html in conjunction with The 12th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing http://www.ubicomp2010.org/ CFP Autonomic execution of services is one of the features of context-aware computing. The service execution may take place inside a simple mobile device, a stand-alone application, a middleware, a network of all size and type; or a physical smart environment. The main idea here is to provide these systems with rich context information to undertake intelligent decision-making. Participation or intervention in the decision-making process by users or administrators of the systems is required only when it is absolutely needed. The intelligent decision making may refer to: (1) providing timely information to the user; (2) protecting the system from a systematic attack or intrusion; (3) updating and configuring relevant software so that it can function optimally; and (4) reconfiguring a system when some internal and external settings (policies) change. Apparently, the above aspects bring together two research areas, namely, autonomic computing and context-aware computing. Whereas these two areas are complementary, so far, vital research issues pertaining to context-aware computing and autonomic computing have been addressed independently. The main aim of this workshop is to build a bridge between these two areas by fostering discussions and collaborations among researchers and practitioners of these two areas. We are particularly interested in investigating context and self-adaptive behaviours. This year, we are planning to make casemans 2010 very attractive by introducing three paper sessions: (1) full papers session; (2) short papers session; and (3) demonstrables. The full papers session focuses on papers with solid research result. The short papers session (4 to 6 pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even controversial papers that encourage further research. The demonstrables are very short papers (not more than 2 pages) and can be accompanied by demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of context-awareness and autonomic service executions. Scope Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the following terms: * Context-awareness and cloud computing * Context-awareness and energy-efficient computing * Context-awareness and smart spaces * Context-awareness and service oriented computing * context-awareness and wireless sensor networks * Context-awareness and social networking * Context-awareness and robotics * Context-awareness and efficient multimedia content distribution * Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Information for Authors The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM ((ISBN: 978-1-4503-0213-5) and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedings will be made available online at the ACM Digital Library. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the ACM Proceedings format. Please visit the ACM template website <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the Easychair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=casemans2010>. Note that submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified here. Important Dates * Paper submission: 30 June 2010 * Notification of Acceptance: 1 August 2010 * Camera-ready deadline: 15 August 2010 Workshop Organisers: * Francois Siewe, De Monfort University, UK * Noriaki Kuwahara, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Japan * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/N9078 For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the MASS 2010 website: https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: July 2, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Aug. 13, 2010 Camera-ready paper due: Sep. 3, 2010 KEYNOTE: will given by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mesut Günes, FU-Berlin, Germany Marco Gruteser, Ruttgers University, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland David B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2011 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 24 Datum: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:00:56 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************************************** Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2011) January 8-11, 2011 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library ************************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP- IEEE JSAC on "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:11:36 -0700 Von: Alireza Attar <attar(a)ece.ubc.ca> Antwort an: alireza.attar(a)ieee.org Organisation: UBC An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Wireless communication networks are undergoing a transformation, shifting network intelligence from the core network towards the edges of the network. Correspondingly, the process of decision making in wireless networks is migrating towards more distributed approaches. This calls for adoption of novel analytical approaches to capture the new degrees of freedom available for decision making processes in future communication technologies, fitting examples of which include femto-base-stations in beyond-3G systems and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). Game theory provides a powerful mathematical framework that can accommodate the preferences and requirements of various stakeholders in a given process as regards the outcome of the process. The application of game theory to the modeling and analysis of wireless networks has received considerable attention in recent years. Game theoretic approaches are multifarious, including among others cooperative and non-cooperative models, static and dynamic games, single-shot and repeated games, and finite- and infinite-horizon games. This special issue aims to bring together a comprehensive view of the application of game theoretic models to emerging wireless systems. We specially encourage studies that demonstrate the capabilities of game theory in wireless communication when other techniques have failed to produce insight, when complex wireless scenarios have helped advance game-theoretic models, and alternatively when limitations of game theory in practical wireless networks are captured. Hence, original previously un-published contributions are solicited in relevant topics, including but not limited to the following: * Game theoretic approaches to the design of PHY and MAC layers in future cellular and broadband technologies * Game models for cognitive radio and self-organizing networks * Application of novel solution concepts such as equilibrium or core solutions in wireless scenarios * Wireless network analysis using dynamic, stochastic, super-modular and sub-modular games * Coalition formation and other cooperative strategies for wireless radio networks * Evolutionary game theory for wireless networks * Radio resource allocation and interference management * Distributed load balancing, congestion control policies and routing protocols based on game theory * Mechanism design in auctions and other wireless applications * Reinforcement and Q-learning for various wireless network equilibria, such as the correlated equilibrium * Analysis of security and privacy in wireless application via game theory * Utilization of imperfect/asymmetric information game models in wireless communications * Multi-armed and restless bandit problems and their application in modeling wireless networks Prospective authors should follow the manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" section on the IEEE J-SAC website (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html ). All papers should be submitted in PDF format via EDAS (http://edas.info <http://edas.info/> ). Important Dates: * Manuscript Submission Due: January 1, 2011 * First review completed: May 1, 2011 * Revised manuscript due: June 1, 2011 * Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2011 * Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2011 * Publication: 1st Quarter 2012 Guest Editors: Dr. Alireza Attar University of British Columbia (alireza.attar(a)ieee.org) Prof. Tamer Başar University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (basar1(a)illinois.edu) Prof. Mérouane Debbah Supelec ( <mailto:merouane.debbah@supelec.fr> merouane.debbah(a)supelec.fr) Prof. H.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special issue on Wireless Communication in Challenged Environments Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:20:35 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 9, 2010 ************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross-layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment-aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments.
