[UbiComp 2012 CfP] - Effects of Subliminal Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments (only 1 week left!)
by Andreas Riener 22 May '12

22 May '12

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "Methodical Approaches to Prove the Effects of Subliminal | | Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments" | | | | Pittsburgh, PA, USA; September 8, 2012 | | colocated with UbiComp 2012 (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/UbiComp12 | | Submission deadline (position papers): May 28, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- There has been much debate around perception of subliminal cues, and their effect on human behavior, especially whether such an effect indeed exists or is only a false marketing myth (Vicary, 1957). As the preven- tion of additional cognitive workload in HCI is a topic of increasing importance, new forms or modalities of interaction between humans and interfaces need to be explored. One promising approach is to use subliminal stimulation or the injection of information below aware perception. To throw light on this issue, the workshop is centered on the questions how subliminal effects can be scientifically supported or how a certain claim could be empirically re- futed. Researchers are welcome to submit position papers by May 28th, 2012 via the electronic paper submission system available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). Papers must describe the app- roach and experimental setting used for testing subliminal interaction in HCI, as well as provide a discussion whether or not the effect could have been scientifically supported. More detailed information about aim, submission and review process, etc. is available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- We are interested in receiving contributions & discussing topics at the workshop related to: * Philosophy, rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in UbiComp environments * Ethical issues in application of subliminal perception and impact * Risk assessment in subliminal interfaces (from the view of the user or the system developer) * Qualitative/quantitative evaluation methodologies for the perception of subliminal information * Subliminally delivered information and relation to other constructs such as cognitive load, perceived performance, emotions, etc. * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, appropriate mo- dalities, speed of perception, strength/ duration/frequency) * Effectiveness of subliminal perception in UbiComp environments (such as context-aware adaptive interfaces, user-aware adaptive interfaces, personalized commercials,...) * Subliminal perception using different modalities (visual: flashing picture, video, text; auditory: compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds; haptic/tactile; olfactory, or others) * Issues with subliminal perception, such as social acceptance or pre- ference, privacy issues, security issues * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (gender, age, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ethnologic background) Please submit your position papers of up to 6 pages in SIGCHI archival format using the workshop paper submission system available at https://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/submissions/openconf.php SIGCHI templates can be downloaded at the the UbiComp 2012 template web- page at (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012/calls/templates.html). Sub- missions do not need to be anonymous.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2012) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [cfp]IEEE Power and QoS Aware Computing( PQoSCOM 2012) Workshop co-located with IEEE Cluster2012,Beijing,China,Sep.24, 2012 Datum: Tue, 22 May 2012 00:40:09 +0800 Von: root <root(a)cloud.hdu.edu.cn> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers of IEEE PQoSCOM2012 WORKSHOP. co-located with IEEE Cluster 2012 September 24, 2012, Beijing North Star Continental Grand Hotel,Beijing, China http://cloud.hdu.edu.cn/PQoSCom/ Important Dates: Workshop Paper Due: June 3rd, 2012 Author Notification: June 30th, 2012 Camera-ready Paper Due: July 15th, 2012 Special Issues: All the accepted papers in this workshop will be published in the IEEE Cluster 2012 Proceedings and indexed by EI. Extensions of selected papers in this workshop will be published in the special issues of the following SCI journals: Elsevier Future Generation Computer System(SCI I.F./2.365) Information Systems Frontiers(Springer, SCI I.F./1.596) Description Power is becoming a critical resource to not only mobile, wireless, and battery-powered devices, but also large-scale server systems and data centers. Lower power consumption can significantly extend the usage time of battery-powered devices or reduce heat-related malfunctions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise server systems and data centers. However, existing solutions for power aware computing mostly focus on the power reduction of the targeted computing systems at the sacrifice of QoS (Quality of Service) performance. Due to the high-density of service consolidation and development of new applications and the increasing number of users with heterogeneous requests, providing users with QoS guarantees while executing applications and saving power consumption has become a crucial problem that needs to be addressed for various computing systems. Moreover, with active deployment of multi-core and many-core architecture, virtualization and the emerging cloud comp! uting infrastructure, power and QoS constraints raise more challenges and have negative impacts on system performance. Hence, various aspects of power and QoS aware related solutions, such as algorithms design, performance evaluation and analysis, and prototypical implementation are required to make the computing system more power efficient with little loss of QoS performance. This workshop focuses on the challenges imposed by power and QoS constraints on computing systems, and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. 2012 International Workshop on Power and QoS Aware Computing (PQoSCom2012) is a forum for professionals involved in energy efficiency and QoS constraints in parallel and distributed computing systems and data center operations and management. The goal of this workshop is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of power aware and QoS constrained computing and bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. We believe that power and QoS aware computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, PQoSCom 2012 will provide a forum for both academics and industry practitioners to share their ideas and experiences, discuss challenges and recent advances, introduce developments and tools, identify open issues, present applications and enhancements for power and QoS aware computi! ng systems and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging trends in this important area. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications. We welcome various different kinds of papers that could formalize, simplify and optimize all the aspects of existing large scale computing systems and applications in science, engineering and business. We particularly encourage the submission of position papers that describe novel research directions and work that is in its formative stages, and papers about practical experiences and lessons learned from production systems. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports, work-in-progress and vision papers with different criteria for each category that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of power and QoS aware computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications are also solicited. List of topics Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Novel Power-aware Architectures for Various Kind of Computing Systems Power and QoS Optimization Power and QoS Tradeoff Modeling and Simulation Power and QoS Performance Evaluation Power and QoS Aware Scheduling Power and QoS Aware Load Balancing QoS Specification, Formulation, Quantification and Verification Instrumentation, Profiling, and Measuring of Power Consumption Power and QoS awareness and Management at All Levels Virtualization Multi/Many Core Grid/Cluster/Cloud/Mobile/ Embedded Computing Power-aware Real Time Systems Power Reduction Algorithms & Applications Survey/Reviews of Power and QoS Challenges of Modern Computing Systems Power Efficiency and Thermal Management in Data Centers Power and QoS Aware Storage and File Systems Fault Tolerance, Reliability, and Availability Green Data Intensive Computing Performance Engineering, Benchmark Design, and Run-time Power-QoS management Important dates Paper Submission: May/20/2012 Notification of Acceptance: Jun/15/2012 Final Version of the Paper: Jul/7/2012 Submission Instructions Please submit full papers in PDF or doc format via the submission system.
