CALL FOR PAPERS The advancement in sensing, embedded computing, and wireless communication has accelerated the progress of adopting sensor networks to form Body Area Networks (BodyNets). BodyNets integrate and deploy wireless sensors, RFID tags, and other pervasive devices within and around human bodies for constructing diverse and practical systems for physiological monitoring, human computer interaction, and provision of entertainment. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying BodyNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to exchange ideas, discuss practices, raise awareness, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in the field of computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, medicine, and other disciplines in both academia and industry. This conference also allows authors to present new and emerging trends to address the technical, social, system and application issues related to BodyNets. The Conference continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of results on cutting-edge research in BodyNets. While the mission of the conference is to share novel basic research ideas as well as experimental applications in the BodyNets area in addition to identifying new directions for future research and development the new scientific topics such as nano communication networks, bio-inspired networks, molecular networks, etc. will be considered. BodyNets 2012 will give researchers a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects from molecular to micro level communication to novel applications in medicine, gaming to automobile industry. The conference consists of four symposia that cover a broad range of research aspects. In addition, the program will include three outstanding keynote speakers from academia and industry. A panel session on “Nano communications networks: from theory to practical applications” and an industrial track will surely provoke thoughtful discussions. There will also be two tutorials given free of charge to all BodyNets 2012 attendees. We hope that the conference proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to researchers and developers in the area. TOPICS The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Wearable Computing: Ambient intelligence User interface Context-awareness Augmented reality Pattern recognition Mobile and unobstrusive computing 2.

In particular, both wireless sensors operating in relation with transportation systems are instrumental in the development of applications, including e.g., parking monitoring, real-time traffic information, routing, warning as well as decision-making aided transportation. The lesson learned constructing such applications is that transport systems are particularly exposed to environmental perturbations, unreliable wireless medium of communication, high mobility-driven instability. This poses extraordinary challenges to both the designers and the research community who attempt to provide sensor-enabled transportation systems as a first upon advanced urban, transport planning & smart cities. Novel papers are invited from both academic and industrial research environments, describing theoretical or empirical results as well as in-depth user studies on transport networks and sensor topics together towards smart cities, including but not limited to: * Wireless sensors and actuators for enhanced transportation, * Transport, space planning and optimization, * Green and smart cities, multi-modal and green transportation, * Parking monitoring and traffic handling, * Simulation, real-world testbeds and commercial experiences, * Wireless communication, routing, aggregating, * Smart Phone and driver assistance. Authors are invited to submit full papers (max. 6 pages) or short papers (max. 3 pages). Papers should be formatted in the standard 2-columns, 10 pt, IEEE conference paper format.

CfP: Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue on Self-* Parallel and Distributed Systems
by Vincenzo De Florio 23 Mar '12

Dear Colleagues, you are cordially invited to contribute to the following call for paper.Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards,Juha, Waltenegus, and Vincenzo. Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue onSelf-* Parallel and Distributed Systems Call for papers (PDF: http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307.pdf,HTML: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307/cfp/) Autonomic computing has been identified as a promising solution to cope with the overwhelming complexity in modern and next-generation computer systems. In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems - Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems - Software design and implementation for energy-awareness - Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing - Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals - Evolvability aspects - Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems - Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems - Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties - Formal validation and verification - Software testing - Parallel and distributed debugging - Application and industrial case studies - Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due: June 8, 2012First round of reviews: August 31, 2012Publication date: October 26, 2012 Lead Guest Editor Juha Plosila, Department of Information Technology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland; juha.plosila(a)utu.fi Guest Editors Waltenegus Dargie, Chair of Computer Networks, Institute for System Architecture, Faculty of Computer Science, Technical University of Dresden, 01062 Dresden, Germany; waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de Vincenzo De Florio, Performance Analysis of Telecommunication Systems group, University of Antwerp, Middelheimlaan 1, 2020 Antwerp, Belgium; vincenzo.deflorio(a)ua.ac.be
