Fwd: [3rd CfP] 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [3rd CfP] 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Datum: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:09:27 +0100 Von: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Organisation: University of Cambridge An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call, it has been posted to several relevant mailing lists. Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you very much!] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 14th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26-27 February, 2013 Jekyll Island, GA, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2013/ ACM HotMobile 2013, the 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non- traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2013 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.

[Please accept our apologies for receiving multiple copies and feel free to forward the CfP to colleagues who might be interested.] ********************************************************************* * Preliminary Call for Papers * * IWSOS 2013 * 7th International Workshop on Self-organizing Systems * * Palma de Mallorca, Spain * May 8-10, 2013 * * Paper Submission Deadline: November 18, 2012 * ******************************************************************** ** Website Further information and updates will be available at http://innaxis.org/events/iwsos-2013/ ** Scope The main themes of IWSOS 2013 are from the fields of techno-social systems and networks-of-networks with their unique and complex blend of cognitive, social, and technological aspects. We will analyse how these systems self-organize, acquire their structure, and evolve. Thus, we aim to advance our understanding of such key infrastructures in our societies and, more generally, of these sorts of self-organizational processes in nature. We are further interested in learning how to engineer such self-organizing networked systems to have desirable properties including dependability, predictability, and resilience in the face of the inevitable challenges that they face. Building on the success of its predecessors, this multi-disciplinary workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers from complex systems, distributed systems, and communication networks to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. We invite the submission of manuscripts that present original research results on the themes of self-organization in techno-social systems and networks-of-networks. ** Key Topics The workshop scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topical areas of self-organizing systems: - Design and analysis of self-organizing and self-managing systems - Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society - Structure, characteristics, and dynamics of self-organizing networks - Self-organization in techno-social systems - Self-organized social computation - Self-organized communication systems - Citizen Science - Techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing systems - Tools to quantify self-organization - Control and control parameters of self-organizing systems - Phase transitions in self-organizing systems - Robustness and adaptation in self-organizing systems - Self-organization in complex networks such as peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc, vehicular, and social networks - Self-organization in socio-economic systems - User and operator-related aspects of man-made self-organizing systems - Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Self-protection, self-configuration, diagnosis, and healing - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks - Social, cognitive, and semantic aspects of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Decentralized power management in the smart grid ** Important Dates Submission deadline: November 18, 2012 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2013 Camera-ready papers due: February 3, 2013 Conference dates: May 8-10, 2013 ** Papers IWSOS 2013 invites the submission of manuscripts that present original research results which have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international technical program committee and judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ** Proceedings Publication by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series is planned and currently under negotiation. ** Committees * General Chairs Maxi San Miguel, IFISC (CSIC-University Balearic Islands), Spain Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, Germany * Organization Chair Carlos Álvarez Pereira, Innaxis, Spain * Program Chairs Falko Dressler, University of Innsbruck, Austria Vittorio Loreto, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy * Publicity Chairs Karin Anna Hummel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Carlos Gershenson, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico * Local Organization Chairs Paula Lopez-Catalá, Innaxis, Spain Arantxa Villar, Innaxis, Spain * Steering Committee Hermann de Meer, Univ.
