[Tccc] Call for Submissions: PhD Forum at MobiSys 2009 (2nd anouncement)
by Jacob M. Sorber 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 15 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 15, 2009 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2009 Camera-ready: May 1, 2009 Forum Date: June 22, 2009 Panelists: Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Landon Cox, Duke University Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University David Johnson, Rice University (Additional panelists to be announced later pending confirmation) Organizers: General Chairs: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Steering Committee Chair: Arta Doci, Colorado School of Mines Program Chairs: Ashish Sharma, UC Santa Barbara Nilesh Mishra, USC Program Committee: Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, UC Berkeley Eiman Elnahrawy, Rutgers University Annarita Gianim UC Berkeley Sayandeep Sen, University of Wisconsin-Madison Eugene Shih, MIT Please send any questions to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

MobiCom 2009 will be held in September in Beijing. The MobiCom conference series serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom09 will also include a set of workshops and tutorials, panels, research demos and exhibits, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2009/. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems and applications * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity * Wireless and mobile techniques for delay-tolerant, mobile ad hoc, and wireless sensor networks * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, personal area networks) * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Techniques for dynamic spectrum use * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless networks and their integration in the Internet * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols, and systems * Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related systems and protocols MobiCom09 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Wireless and mobile networks are being used in a wide variety of application contexts, such as sensor networks, pervasive computing, disruption tolerant networking, and vehicular networks. Papers that describe research and experimentation in such environments are encouraged, but the focus of such papers should be on addressing challenges associated with mobility and wireless networking. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches) with 1-inch margins. Detailed instructions on the paper submission procedure and format will be available on the conference web pages. The deadline for registering the title and the abstract of the paper with our electronic submission system is March 5, 2009 and the deadline for submitting the actual paper is March 12, 2009. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom09_pcchairs(a)acm.org. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

16 Feb '09

***Sincere apologies if multiple copies of this message are received*** __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2009 FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009) Zurich, Switzerland 20 - 23 October 2009 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

[Tccc] Call for papers IEEE DEST 2009
by Farookh Hussain 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Due to numerous requests from authors the deadline for paper submission to IEEE DEST 2009 has now been extended to 28th February 2009 ------------------------------ Call for Papers ------------------------------------------- Third IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE-DEST 2009) Istanbul, Turkey 1-3 June 2009 http://dest2009.debii.curtin.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi ew&id=26&Itemid=40 Special theme: Cyber Engineering and Human Space Computing Workshops and Tutorials to be held on 31 May 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- The digital ecosystem is defined as an open, loosely coupled, demand-driven, domain clustered, agent-based self organized collaborative environment where species/agents form a temporary coalition (or longer term) for a specific purpose or goal, and everyone is proactive and responsive for their own benefit or profit. The essence of digital ecosystems is creating value by making connections through collective intelligence. Digital Ecosystems promote collaboration instead of unbridled competition and ICT based catalyst effect in a number of domains to produce networked enriched communities. Digital Ecosystems are empowered by the cyber engineering and human space computing. Cyber engineering studies the digital horizon in our ecosystems, also known as Cloud computing. It encompasses the semantic web, ontologies, cyber security, privacy, trust and risk management, social networks, web 2.0, 3.0, convergence technologies, web services and grid technologies. Human space computing is about the study of the technology (Bluetooth, WiFi, IRDA, RFID, GSM, GPRS, 3G Digital Pens, PDAs, Mobile Phones, VoIP, Video, Voice, Data, other devices) for improvement of our human lives, not just organizations, businesses or government. It studies the world we live in, and personal space computing, our space, between the digital skyline and our ecosystems. Prospective participants are invited to electronically submit a full paper (6 pages, about 4500 words, pdf or WinWord file) of their original work following the IEEE instructions available on this website. Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer reviewed process involving at least two reviewers. The main conference theme is to strengthen ICT to support different digital ecosystems, especially focusing on cyber engineering and human space computing. It is the study of triangle relationship between industries, human endeavours and advanced ICT. We are interested in papers, work-in-progress reports, and industrial experiences describing advances in all areas of digital business applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Collaborative and Connectivity in Digital Ecosystems Web Spam - Adversarial Information Retrieval in Digital Ecosystems Models of Open Transactions in Digital Ecosystems Governance in Large Heterogeneous IT Systems Democratising Collaborative Research Patterns Performance and Evaluation of Digital Ecosystems Intelligent Digital Ecosystems and Technologies Emerging Concepts in the Field of Ecosystems Open Source Digital Ecosystems Service-oriented Collaborative Platforms Infrastructure for Digital Ecosystems Mechatronics for Digital Ecosystems Knowledge Mapping and Modelling Interdisciplinary Ecosystems Research Human Collective Intelligence Analytics and Visualization Digital Business Ecosystems Self Organisation of Agents E-Learning Ecosystems Security and Privacy Health Ecosystems Social Networks Trust and Risk E-Humanities Students' Research Track We solicit researchers to submit original papers in line with the topic of the track. Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit a full paper of their original work following the IEEE instructions available on the website of the IEEE DEST 2009 conference (http://dest2009.debii.curtin.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=v iew&id=20&Itemid=34). Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer reviewed process involving at least two reviewers. The paper submission system is now open and can be accessed at: http://dest2009.debii.curtin.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi ew&id=20&Itemid=34. IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------- 28 February 2009 - Electronic Paper Submissions (Revised Deadline) 25 March 2009 - Paper Acceptance/Rejection Notifications 15 April 2009 - Final Camera Ready Papers Due 1-3 June 2009 - Conference When attending IEEE-DEST 2009, you will be treated to some exciting keynote speakers including: Michael Brodie - Verizon Communications, USA Peter Palensky - University of Pretoria, South Africa Tharam Dillon - Digital Ecosystems and Business Intelligence Institute, Australia Mihaela Ulieru - Canada Research Chair, Canada Sirin Tekinay - National Science Foundation, USA and Ozyegin University, Turkey Simon Carlsen - StatoilHydro, and Stig Petersen - SINTEF ICT and Dr Alex Talevski - DEBII BRIEF THEME OF THE IEEE DEST 2009 CONFERENCE -------------------------------------------- Digital ecosystems capture the essence of the classical, complex ecological environment in nature, where organisms form a dynamic and interrelated complex ecosystem. They conserve and utilise the environment and its resources. This analogy is a new mind-set and way of thinking in the Digital Economy. The research targets Frontier Technologies for Digital Ecosystems and the building of specific services and information infrastructures to support the different application domains. It is an intersection between industry, business, human endeavours, social science, and cutting edge internet technologies and is application driven research. This conference series helps worldwide researchers further their understanding and broad application of the digital ecosystem ideas, principles and architecture in industry, business, government, social science and other domain disciplines to enhance the productivity, growth, prosperity and social, cultural and economic balance and sustainabil! ity. The main conference theme is to strengthen ICT to support different digital ecosystems, especially focusing on the architectural triangle between industries, human endeavours and advanced ICT. It includes conceptual frameworks, architectures, self-organizing infrastructures, swarm intelligence, ambient intelligence, autonomous agents, e-humanities, social networks, and service-oriented collaborative platforms. A special theme of this conference is collaboration instead of unbridled competition and ICT based catalyst effect in a number of domains to produce network enriched communities.
