-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MC2R special section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobil eServices Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 14:44:14 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Special Section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services With Guest Editor Qusay H. Mahmoud Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air (pull mobile services). In order to use such services, users of wireless devices need to locate them; they can be located on remote servers or even on peers' devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (or MANET). Therefore, one of the fundamental challenges is the discovery of relevant services in mobile ad hoc networks, but more importantly, selecting a suitable service and interacting with it to accomplish a useful task. Several available service discovery protocols are not suitable for MANETs simply because they have been designed for infrastructure-based networks. In addition, such protocols offer no location-based and context-aware selection mechanisms, and feature minimal interaction models that are not suited for wireless devices with limited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. The aim of this special section is to present most recent research findings on "discovery and interaction of mobile services". We are seeking papers that address discovery, selection, and interaction issues of mobile services. Submissions must be original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Discovery protocols for mobile services - Selection and interaction techniques - Security and privacy issues in discovery protocols - Location-dependent and/or context-aware service discovery mechanisms - XML/SOAP for discovery protocols - Lightweight discovery protocols - Agents-based discovery, selection, and interaction - Performance evaluation of discovery protocols Publication Schedule -------------------- Papers are due: August 1, 2004 Notifications: October 1, 2004 Final papers: November 15, 2004 Publication: First available issue (January or April 2005) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors should email an electronic copy (PDF only) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by August 1, 2004. Submissions should be no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

Der Workshop richtet sich gleichermaßen an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker. Im Fokus unseres Workshops befindet sich erstens eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise des E- und M(Mobile)-Learnings, d. h. die integrierte Betrachtung von Pädagogik, Technik und Wirtschaftlichkeit (=> Einsatzkonzepte). Zweitens wird der Wirtschaftlichkeit des öffentlich finanzierten und privatwirtschaftlichen E-Learnings noch einmal besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, da in Zeiten rasch abnehmender öffentlicher Förderung erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelle (auch Business Modelle oder Pläne genannt) von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Insbesondere der zweite Workshopschwerpunkt findet in der Fachwelt heute, gemessen an seiner Wichtigkeit, noch viel zu wenig Beachtung. Themenschwerpunkte des Workshops sind im Einzelnen: 1) Geschäftsmodelle für E-Learning (inkl. M-Learning) und damit verbundene ökonomische Aspekte 2) Geschäftsmodelle für E-Learning in der privatwirtschaftlichen Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung und in der öffentlichen Ausbildung 3) Spezielle Geschäftsmodelle für M-Learning 4) Spezielle Geschäftsmodelle für lernobjektorientiertes E-Learning 5) Förderung und Sicherstellung der Nachhaltigkeit von E-Learning 6) Evaluation, d. h. Analyse und Bewertung von E-Learning 7) Allgemeine und spezielle Arten von Kosten/Nutzen-Analysen für E-Learning 8) Qualitätsmanagement im E-Learning 9) Strategische, taktische und operative Einsatzkonzepte für E-Learning (inkl. M-Learning), z. B. E-Learning-Vorgehensmodelle zur Auswahl, Einführung oder Wartung von Anwendungen und Systemen 10) E-Learning-Referenzmodelle und -Musterszenarien 11) Lernobjekte und Standardisierung, z. B. von Technik und Inhalten sowie Mehrfach- und Wiederverwendbarkeit im E-Learning 12) Infrastrukturen für E- und M-Learning und Integration in Organisationen 13) Interdisziplinäre Ansätze beim Einsatz von E-Learning und Auswahlkriterien für E-Learning 14) "Good- und Best-Practice" sowie "Worst-Case" Beispiele und Szenarien Fristen und Termine (Anmeldung, Einreichung von Beiträgen usw.): - Ab sofort: Interessensbekundung, z.

Minden Conference Chair, IWAN 2004 The University of Kansas ==== IWAN 2004 Sixth Annual International Working Conference on Active Networks October 27-29, 2004 The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS US CALL FOR PAPERS SCOPE: Active networking aims at providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures bring just the right services to the customer at just the right time and location. With the accelerating trend towards mobility, ad-hoc networks, and content-aware distribution, active and programmable networks will play an important role in future network architectures. IWAN 2004 brings together members of various communities using active and related techniques to address these challenges and provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active networking topics: --- Architectures and new concepts for Active Networks --- Standardization of frameworks --- Secure and robust network operation --- Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies --- Cognitive networks --- Design and development methodologies and tools --- Experiences and evaluation results --- Applications for systems and environments --- Service creation, deployment, and management --- Programmable network elements and devices --- Network processor platforms --- Hardware and software platforms for infrastructures --- Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms; PDAs; software radios --- Content- and context-aware distribution INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.

Marc Weiser's dream is one of a world of pervasive devices, leveraging contextual information, to provide an increasingly interactive and responsive environment to users, to aid them in their everyday activities. However, despite considerable progress, the promise of pervasive computing outlined by Mark Weiser still remains elusive, with most developments focusing on point-examples of technology. There is a need for processing, storage and network infrastructure to support as well as development tools, in order to build large scale pervasive systems. We believe that central to these infrastructures are underpinning middleware technologies. In particular, that pervasive computing middleware will allow you to take advantage of the resources in your environment to tailor your services and applications for seamless access to services and unrestricted mobility. Ad-hoc networking middleware will permit the formation of ad-hoc communities for new applications. However, existing middleware technologies do not fully exploit the potential of such pervasive and ad-hoc environments. For instance, current ad hoc middleware technologies focus on the use of ad hoc networks as connection-ware to connect a single user to a single device for accessing its services or resources. In this workshop we focus on these core areas of middleware for ad-hoc and pervasive systems. We seek to compliment the discussion and presentations at Middleware 2004, by providing a forum focused on the specific problems of large scale, real world, pervasive computing environments through the identification of appropriate core architectures, languages, and systems. Moreover, we seek to develop a community of researchers who will specifically target the development of practical and sustainable pervasive environments and provide the key elements needed by future developers of large-scale pervasive environments. The workshop will seek papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems; New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middlware support; Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; Service-connection middleware and architectures; Support for zero configuration; Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution; Data management infrastructure for adhoc and pervasive systems Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems; Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); Resource discovery and management; Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area and which then present a position on the how/what/why for the next stages and challenges for middleware technologies. 75% of the workshop will be devoted to presentation and discussion of these papers. The remaining 25% of time will be devoted to developing the outline of a roadmap and engaging all participants in the further writing and publication. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the veracity of the state-of-the-art statement and the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap. Appropriate publication of the workshop submissions and the roadmap is being investigated.

The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator nodes. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds ranging from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion * Middleware for WSN: Configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN in middleware architectures like .NET * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Applications of WSN: novel applications and their requirements such as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world applications * What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing & communication and Ambient Intelligence. * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds * Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or channel models For further information, please contact the co-chairs via: info(a)ewsn2005.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: September 3, 2004 Notification of acceptance: December 6, 2004 Camera-ready version: December 24, 2004 EWSN 2005 Conference: January 31 - February 2, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.
