We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2010 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems * 3D and Multiview Streaming Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Short papers (3-6 pages) are also encouraged and will be evaluated for inclusion in a short-paper track. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons.

[MM-INTEREST] Web of Things 2010 (WoT 2010): Call for Papers
by Erik Wilde 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

First International Workshop on the Web of Things (WoT 2010) http://www.webofthings.com/wot/2010 Call for Papers In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010), Mannheim, Germany http://www.percom.org/ Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2009 Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009 Camera-ready papers due: January 29, 2010 Workshop date: March 29 or April 2, 2010 The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes over the past few years as real-world objects can now easily connect to the Internet. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges. The Internet of Things has mainly focused on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments, and the next logical step in the evolution in pervasive computing builds on top of network connectivity by focusing on the application layer: how to develop ubiquitous computing applications on top of heterogeneous devices? The Web of Things is the vision that brings embedded devices into the Web by using Web standards as application protocol to interact with things. This workshop aims at bringing together the pervasive computing and Web communities to explore the possibilities for using the core principles and technologies of modern Web architecture (e.g., HTTP, REST, Atom, JSON) for seamless integration of things into the Web and developing applications on top of web-enabled devices (physical mashups). Research contributions are solicited in the following areas: - Web-based interaction patters for embedded devices (streaming, eventing, etc.) - Applications, deployments, and evaluation of Web of things systems - Human-things interaction models and paradigms (mobile interfaces etc.) - User-oriented, context-aware discovery and dynamic search for the real world - Web composition and macro-programming models (e.g. mashups) - Semantic technologies for description of devices and services - Optimization methods for embedded Web servers and applications - Security, access control, and physical sharing of physical things on the Web Since this workshop is the first in this area, the goal is to develop a community in this area and provide an interactive forum for researchers to learn and discuss about existing efforts to enable cross-fertilization. Hence, we expect all attendees to read all workshop papers in advance and to prepare questions for each. Presentations shall specifically highlight and address similarities and differences wit other accepted papers. This will help to provide a forum to foster future collaboration, beyond the mere presentation of research results. In order to ensure a high-quality technical session, submissions must cover one of the topics above and should not exceed six (6) IEEE conference format pages. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere as they will be published on the IEEE Digital Library. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submission requires at least one author to fully register for PerCom 2010 and to present the paper on-site Organizers: Dominique Guinard, ETH Zurich and SAP Research Zurich Erik Wilde, UC Berkeley Vlad Trifa, ETH Zurich and SAP Research Zurich Program Committee: Gregor Broll, DOCOMO Communications, Germany Adam Dunkels, SICS, Sweden Martin Gaedke, University of Chemnitz, Germany Stamatis Karnouskos, SAP Research, Germany Gerd Kortuem, University of Lancaster, UK Marc Langheinrich, University of Lugano, Switzerland Thomas Luckenbach, Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS, Germany Friedemann Mattern, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Alexandros Marinos, University of Surrey, UK Rene Mayrhofer, University of Vienna, Austria Tatsuo Nakajima, Waseda University, Japan Benedikt Ostermaier, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland Dave Raggett, W3C, USA Michael Smith, W3C, Japan Vlad Stirbu, NOKIA, Finland Inaki Vazquez, University of Deusto, Spain Agnes Voisard, Fraunhofer ISST, Germany

========================================================================= Our apologies for duplicated copies for this CFP. ========================================================================= SIMUTools 2010 Third International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques Sponsored by ICST and Create-Net In technical cooperation with ACM SIGSIM, ACM SIGMETRICS, SCS March 15-19, 2010 - Torremolinos (Malaga), Spain http://www.simutools.org SIMUTools 2010 (the 3rd International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques) invites the submission of original, high-quality papers on simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and practices. This new edition of the conference builds upon the great success of our two previous meetings. While SIMUTools' main focus is on advances in simulation tools, we encourage the submission of papers on all aspects of simulation modeling and analysis, including broader theoretical and practical research contributions. The conference serves as a forum to foster collaborative work by bringing together researchers from academia and industry, and practitioners who develop and who use simulation technologies in a variety of areas. General areas of interest include: - Simulation methods: discrete event, parallel and distributed, hybrid, load balancing, partitioning, simulation-interoperation - Simulation techniques: service-oriented, agent-based, web-based, component-based, symbiotic simulation - Simulation tools, libraries and frameworks, including specialized tools, such as ns-2/3, OPNET, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, e-cell, and other open source tools - Modeling formalisms: DEVS, Petri Nets, process algebras, state charts, and others - Simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and analysis: benchmark models, simulation-based verification, workflow, simulation experiment design, optimization, and simulation coercion. The conference also focuses on applications in areas of computer networks and systems, and interdisciplinary areas. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Wireless technologies (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) - Network models (mobility models, traffic models, network topology) - Overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks - Parallel and distributed systems - Operating systems - Fault tolerant systems - Embedded and real-time systems - Human behavioral models/representations - Security and emergency applications - Transportation and Traffic - Education and training - Logistics and manufacturing - Environmental and biological systems - Military applications Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages. Authors should submit papers through EasyChair in PDF format, complying with the ACM conference proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Every paper will be peer-reviewed by at least three different individuals. In exceptional circumstances, papers may not receive full-length reviews and may receive early rejection notice; if they are deemed out of scope, for instance. Papers will be accepted based on originality, correctness, and quality of writing. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the conference. Sponsorship and publication ---------------------------- The event is organized by ICST and CreateNet, in technical cooperation with ACM SIGSIM, ACM SIGMETRICS and SCS. The papers that are accepted and presented at the conference will appear in CD proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL. Best papers, pending further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International. Awards ---------------------------- One Best Paper and one Best Student Paper will be selected by peer reviews and will be announced during the social event at the conference. Industry Track ---------------------------- SimulationWorks is the industry track of SIMUTools 2010. The goal of the industry track is to promote the results that have been applied or have a potential application in an industrial field. Submitted papers are required to have at least one author working in industry. The papers will be not so much assessed by their novelty as by their applicability and impact in different fields of industry. Authors are invited to submit either Regular Papers or Short Papers: Regular papers are 5 to 10 pages and will mainly show an application or a research on simulation Short papers are 1 to 3 pages and mainly show the views or the needs of the authors on simulation. Call for Posters ---------------------------- Authors are also invited to submit proposals for poster presentations. Please submit a ONE-page extended abstract in PDF format to posters(a)simutools.org. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Participants in the Poster Session are required to register and present their poster at the conference. Poster abstracts are due by December 10, 2009.
