3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications 2010 (IEEE WiVeC)
by Gozalvez Sempere, Javier Manuel 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVeC'2010) 16th-17th May 2010, Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ <http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/> Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009. Topics of interest ------------------ The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ <http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/> Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 24 December 2009 Notification of acceptance: 25 January 2010 Camera-ready papers due: 15 February 2010

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CFP Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications, Cape Town, May 2010 Datum: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:52:31 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de>, KUVS-L <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Call for Papers SESENA - Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications In conjunction with ACM/IEEE Intl. Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE) May 3, 2010, Cape Town, South Africa http://www.sesena.info Creating distributed sensor network applications is a challenging and cumbersome task where multiple objectives need to be pursued simultaneously. Sensor network developers have to address not only the functional application requirements, but also have to cope with a number of difficult non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources including energy, from the need for self-organization and unattended operation, from the heterogeneity of sensor nodes, and from the unpredictability of the deployment environment. The lack of appropriate software development methodologies and tools often leads to unstable and suboptimal implementations. Software engineering support is therefore sought that eases the development task and helps to produce optimized application software tailored to the specific application environment and sensor network conditions. Appropriate development support is needed for all phases of the application software lifecycle. The aim of the SESENA workshop is to bring together the software engineering and sensor network communities (both academia and industry) to jointly address this challenge. The workshop goals are to provide a discussion forum on software development methodologies and tools for sensor network applications, and to establish a community that carries the discussion on even after the workshop. The workshop will feature an invited keynote talk, paper presentations, demonstrations of tools, as well as a working session. TOPICS OF INTEREST Specific topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to the following aspects of software engineering for sensor networks: - model-driven approaches - (macro)programming models, languages, and compilers - genetic programming techniques - multi-objective software development methodologies - validation, verification, and debugging of functional and non-functional properties - integrated solutions for multiple phases of the application lifecycle - interfacing sensor network and backend software SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants are invited to submit position papers containing original unpublished material describing (1) ongoing work and new ideas, or (2) mature research results, or (3) experience reports. Authors are encouraged to present tools and applications informally during the demo session. Please indicate in the abstract of your position paper if and how you are willing to contribute to the demo session. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules (see http://www.sbs.co.za/ICSE2010/4-SUBMISSIONS/ICSE2010_SUB-FORMAT.html) and may not exceed 6 pages. PDF files should be uploaded via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sesena2010. All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site.

To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols that should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: · Adoption and adaptation of web technologies · Application protocols and service architectures · Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation · Domain-specific security and privacy solutions · Inter-networking technologies and architectures · MAC technologies and channel management · Multiple radio integration and control · Physical layer and RF level technologies · Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support · Real-time experimental systems and testbeds · RF integration and SDR technologies · Safety and non-safety applications and services · Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques · Delay tolerant networks · Energy efficient communications · Traffic and mobility models *Submission Guidelines* Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

[Tccc] SIMPLEX 2010: 2nd Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Networks for Practitioners
by Steve Uhlig 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] Call for papers SIMPLEX 2010: 2nd Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Networks for Practitioners 21st June 2010, Genoa, Italy http://www.simplexconf.net Co-located with IEEE ICDCS 2010 THEME ---------- Network Science, sometimes also called “complex networks science”, has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real- world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called “complex systems”. Complexity may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Researchers in network science can be categorized according to the theoretical school from which they come, e.g. statistical physics, game theory, information theory, distributed algorithms. Each school tackles a very particular aspect of complex systems, like statistical interactions between components, or the computation of the equilibrium of a particular system. The assumptions made by each school to apply their theoretical tools make it very difficult for practitioners to apply their results to practical situations. Simplex aims at triggering different computer science communities (e.g. communication networks, distributed systems) to propose research areas and topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective. We also seek contributions from network science that are relevant to solve practical computer science problems. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network sciences community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Design of wired/wireless networks • Representing and analyzing dynamic networks • Network robustness to failures and attacks • Mining of large scale networks • Forwarding/routing for opportunistic network • Mobility/connectivity modelling • Anti-spam and Sybil attacks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES -------------------------------------- All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. The proceedings of the conference and the workshops will be published in CDs by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Accepted papers will also be nominated to present at Netsci conference (http://netsci2010.net) if the authors are interested. All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5” x 11” Two-Column Format. Each submission can have 8 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for publication, an over-length fee will be charged to each of the over-length pages at $200 per page in the final camera-ready version. The paper submission site is located at: http://www.simplexconf.net/ IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Paper Submission January 22, 2010 Authors Notification March 10, 2010 Camera-ready March 30, 2010 Workshop Date June 21, 2010 For all questions, feel free to ask the PC chairs directly: Steve UHLIG, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories/ TU Berlin, Germany Pan HUI, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories/ TU Berlin, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: IEEE Multimedia Magazine Special Issue on "Knowledge Discovery Over Community-Contributed Multimedia Data: Opportunities and Challenges" Datum: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:45:05 +0800 Von: winston hsu <winston(a)CSIE.NTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: winston hsu <winston(a)CSIE.NTU.EDU.TW> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies. ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------- IEEE Multimedia Magazine Special Issue on "Knowledge Discovery Over Community-Contributed Multimedia Data: Opportunities and Challenges" ---------------------------- http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~winston/service/mm10_media_cfp/ **15 December 2009: Full submission due.** The explosive growth of digital photos and videos; the prevalence of capture devices; and the advent of media-sharing services, such as Flickr and YouTube, have drastically increased the volume of community-contributed multimedia resources. Billions of photos, videos, and music shared on Web sites profoundly impact human society and pose a new challenge for designing efficient indexing, search, mining, and visualization methods for manipulating such largescale media. Besides plain visual or audio signals, social media are augmented with rich context—such as user-provided tags, comments, geolocations, time, and device metadata—benefiting a wide variety of potential applications such as annotation, search, recommendation, advertising, and visualization. The goal of this special issue is to present a concise reference of state-ofthe-art efforts in knowledge discovery over large-scale social media, and in particular the entailed opportunities and challenges given the nascent status of this arena. Specifically, the special issue is intended to present both survey and original research articles (in a tutorial manner readable by nonspecialists) on emerging theoretical and practical deployments as well as illustrative applications for annotation, indexing and search, mining, recommendation, advertising, and visualization over social media. It also focuses on the rich context information and its mobile usage for social media. We believe the special issue will offer a timely collection of information to benefit the researchers and practitioners working in the broad multimedia community. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to * social media annotation and tagging, * large-scale social media search, * event detection and summarization in social media, * visualization of social media (for example, event summarization and 3D scene navigation), * personalized media recommendation, * contextual media advertising, * modeling and mining context in social media, * context-aware mobile multimedia applications, * social media as training data for classification/detection learning, * benchmark data for large-scale social media applications, * distributed/parallel algorithms and platforms for large-scale social media computation, and * novel and challenging applications of social media.
