-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Advances in Positioning and Location-Enabled Communications (APLEC 2010) Datum: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:40:01 +0100 Von: <Ronald.Raulefs(a)dlr.de> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers) International Workshop on Advances in Positioning and Location-Enabled Communications (APLEC 2010) http://www.kn-s.dlr.de/aplec2010/index.htm <http://www.kn-s.dlr.de/aplec2010/index.htm> co-located at PIMRC 2010 in Istanbul, Turkey. Tentative timeline and to do's: * Deadline for Paper Submission: April 16, 2010 * Submit through http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8875 * Good luck:) * Paper Acceptance Notification: May 17, 2010 * Camera-Ready Paper: June 18, 2010 Background: The ability to locate and seamlessly track assets in indoor/dense urban environments without access to GPS is a complex and challenging task mainly due to the harsh multipath environment and the high probability of non-line of sight (NLOS). The value of accurate range/position information is the key requirement for many emerging applications in the public safety, commercial, and residential domains, such as locating firefighters or objects and instruments in warehouses and hospitals. As a result, of interest to the workshop will be NLOS identification and mitigation algorithms that show great promise in identifying troublesome channel conditions that can be mitigated or even eliminated to improve location accuracy. In addition, propagation measurement campaigns and modelling studies as well as testbeds are fundamental to the problem and will be highly valuable to the research community. While extracting accurate location information is fundamental to the design of positioning systems, cooperative and cognitive positioning algorithms exploiting short range communication links can enhance robustness. Geo-location information can also serve as complementary data to estimate and predict critical parameters for improving wireless communication networks. In cognitive radio networks, geo-location and context-aware algorithms can support sensing methods to overcome e.g. the hidden node problem. Machine learning techniques take advantage of heterogeneous networks to track mobile nodes using cooperative or non-cooperative sensor networks using the geo-location information. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of new positioning algorithms based both on (indoor) wireless communications and (outdoor) satellite navigation systems as well as new position-aware procedures to enhance the efficiency of communication networks. By bringing together academic and industrial efforts in geo-location research and location-enabled wireless communications, the workshop highlights the latest developments in: * NLOS identification & mitigation ranging/positioning algorithms; * Field tests of location systems and propagation and modeling studies for indoor ranging (TOA/RSS/AOA); * PHY/MAC algorithms/procedures for communication and positioning needs; * Positioning algorithms combined with short range ad-hoc communications; * Signal processing techniques for (seamless) indoor/outdoor localization; * Cooperative, cognitive, and machine learning techniques in heterogeneous wireless communication and sensor networks; * Hybrid positioning using both wireless communications and satellite navigation systems; * Active and passive localization/communication systems for RFID applications. This Workshop is organized in part by the FP7 EU Research Projects NEWCOM++ (www.newcom-project.eu) and WHERE/WHERE2 (www.ict-where.eu / www.ict-where2.eu) -- Ronald.Raulefs(a)DLR.de Fon : +(49)8153-282803 Fax : +(49)8153-281871 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

by Shelley Buchinger 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

========== Final Call for Papers - 5 days left - Paper submission deadline has been extended to 22nd of March ================ [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers; http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 22nd March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 5th April 2010: Notification of acceptance - 22nd April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: QoEMCS Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users? expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users? experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of max. 3 pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Publication Workshop contributions will be published in the EuroITV proceedings. * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ========================================================

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 5.34 } S.I. of IEEE Wireless Comm. Mag. on Internet of Things: Submission Deadline Extended to March 31, 2010 Datum: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:13:22 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ The submission Deadline of the Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? " has been extended to MARCH 31, 2010 (firm deadline) ------------------ LAST CALL ------------------------------------------ Call for Papers In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users RFID technology and RFID middleware Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity Location and tracking through navigation sensors Internet of Things applications in research projects Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.
