-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM HotPlanet 2010 workshop (co-located with ACM MobiSys) - Call For Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:48:08 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fehmi(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurements (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Submission deadline: March 7, 2010 Authors notification: April 18, 2010 Camera ready: May 7, 2010 Workshop date: June 15, 2010 It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form <http://www.acm.org/publications/copyright_form>. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 5.34 } SI on “Internet of Things” in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Datum: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:00:16 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at [1]http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html.

However, even more work on this area is needed to obtain significant results in improving the Quality of Life of patients and reducing medical errors and costs. First of all, a strict interaction and cooperation among medical specialists and ICT experts is necessary to define correct requirements fore-health systems. Then, in order to effectively design and deploy reliable E-health systems, a strong cooperation among several diverse research areas of ICT is necessary (i.e., bioengineering, wearable sensors, wireless communications, data fusion and processing, decision support systems and others). This is fundamental to make E-health systems a reality, satisfying main requirements of reliability and effectiveness both all the involved perspectives perspective. IREHSS aims to provide a forum for the interaction of experts belonging to these different research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, databases, security and privacy.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost WSNs and their Application (ULC-WSN2010) Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:29:14 +0100 Von: no-reply(a)inss-conf.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ULC-WSN: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications at the INSS'10 Website at http://www.duslab.de/ulc-wsn/ June, 2010 in conjunction with 7th International Conference in Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) Kassel, Germany, June 15 - 18, 2010 organised by the Department of Distributed and Ubiquitous systems (DUS) ToC: * Topics and Introduction * Workshop Format * Desired Outcome * Call for Papers * Organisation Topics and Introduction: The wireless sensor network (WSN) community is approaching its 10th birthday and still the killer application which will make these devices ubiquitous has eluded researchers and developers. One approach which will be investigated is that it is possible to create ingenious applications using simple technology, and that these applications can have a great impact because the technology is relatively simple. Most of the WSN literature displays great applications based on cutting-edge technology, but these applications are often prohibitively expensive due to their nature. The status quo of a networked sensing system has been based on high-cost nodes (>100 USD) and time and effort-intensive development, all of which leads to highly functional yet highly complex and expensive WSN applications. A new approach to the field is the concept of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks (ULC WSN) which would allow for applications of miniature ultra-low-cost wireless sensor nodes (<20 USD) as well as low-cost rapid development. These qualities come naturally at a price, which is low resources available on the nodes. As any developer knows, the most expensive part of any WSN application is the time-intensive development. Here again the ULC WSN approach foresees low-cost light-weight rapid development (<2 hours), but at the cost of application complexity (comparable to a restricted instruction set). Although low-cost sensor nodes and rapid development environments exist, application scenarios for a combination of both of them have not yet been explored. This workshop will try to explore what can be done with WSN technology designed with cost as the primary design factor. Recent developments have created the basis for unprecedentedly affordable WSN development tools which open new application spaces previously inaccessible due to the prohibitive cost of development and technology. These scenarios will be explored by encouraging participants to come up with applications based on and enabled by ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network technology. Participants will be asked to submit ideas for applications which can be implemented quickly (15 minutes or less with a configurable WSN platform) on a miniature simplistic ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network. Workshop Format: The workshop will be divided into three distinct portions. In the morning, the contributions to the workshop will be presented to the group by the authors. This will be followed by a brief evaluation of the contributions by the group and discussion based on the impact and potential of the different ideas presented, as well as resources and development effort required. After lunch, the Akiba platform will be introduced to the participants as a basis for evaluating ultra-low-cost WSN applications and a short tutorial will be given, followed by a period of hands-on wireless sensor network rapid development examples and tools. The participants will then be broken into groups, each with the task of implementing one of the ideas presented in the participant contributions. Each implementation will be evaluated by all groups to ascertain if the goal of the application could be accomplished by the developers with the restricted resources and time frame. Finally, the groups will be brought back together to share their experiences and for a discussion on the plausibility of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network to close the workshop. Timetable: * 09.00 - 09.30 Registration, welcome & introductions * 09.30 - 12.45 Author presentations * 12.45 - 02.00 Lunch Break * 14.00 - 15.30 Akiba platform development tutorial * 15.30 - 16.00 Coffee Break * 16.00 - 17.30 Application implementation * 17.30 - 18.00 Evaluation & wrap-up Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this workshop is a concise statement on whether or not something along the lines of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network makes sense as a development tool. In order reach this point, the scenario properties must be identified which allow or prevent the use of an ULC WSN. The desired result will indicate under which conditions an ULC WSN is appropriate, in which scenarios an ULC WSN will be able to achieve satisfactory results, and which scenario parameters are prohibitive of a low-cost, low-resource, low-complexity wireless sensor networks. Call for Papers, Selection Process and Publication: Submissions are requested on the topic of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks and their applications. Submissions should address the questions of available platforms, potential for improvement in this field, potential application areas, developers, users, innovations which affect ULC WSN technology or any other ULC WSN related theme. Each submission should contain an idea, recommendation or example of an application of an ULC WSN. The papers should provide a method for implementing the example in 15 minutes or less with an out-of-box ULC WSN configurable platform and indicate a method for evaluating the application. Implementational examples and ideas should be original, though that is not a requirement for submission. The number of participants is limited to 15 based on the submissions. Papers should be submitted in IEEE Transaction format with a maximum of four pages. Accepted papers will be published by the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig as a technical report and on the Internet, as well as on the workshop website. Depending on the outcome of the workshop we will ask for a special submission to a journal (Personal and Mobile Computing) on the topic. Participants will then be invited to submit an extended version of their workshop contribution which includes the experience gathered in the workshop as a journal submission. The outcome of the workshop can also be presented at the INSS conference in the main track as a short presentation. Important dates are as follows: * March 15, 2010: Paper submissions deadline * April 15, 2010: Acceptance Notification * June, 2010: Workshop (date will be posted) The workshop organizers will select participants based on a review of submitted position papers, taking into account scientific quality and relation to the workshop topics.
