IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (T-ITB) CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare Starting in the 1960s emotion and affective phenomenon research has entered an Emotion Renaissance era due to new findings establishing the universality of emotions across the human species along with their evolutionary adaptive and functional role in 'rational' intelligence (e.g. memory, decision-making), social intelligence (e.g. communication, … [View More]adaptation). In the past decade, additional studies such as the one related in Descarte's Error (Damasio, 1994), revealed surprising results about the nervous system organization, suggesting that emotions and affective processes might play an even more important role in intelligence, health recovery and prevention, and overall well-being than ever suspected. These findings on emotions and affects from psychology, neuroscience and sociology call for innovation in information and communications technology for enabling, and facilitating intelligent interpretation of affective health data; decision support systems for diagnostic, computer assisted health care; remote guidance and virtual reality applications in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; privacy security and trust necessary for user acceptance of technologies; human-computer interfacing and usability engineering; novel patient modelling; and multimodal intelligent affective user interfaces. This special issue will focus on the novel and practical ways, and solid contributions, to improve affective computing and pervasive technologies. We welcome papers that focus on novel applications of wireless telemedicine,of embedded sensor and actuators for affective processing, novel user interfaces and patient-modeling for use by caregivers and/or patients in a variety of health care domains, virtual reality and virtual environments for phychotherapeutic diagnostic, treatment, and support/assistance coaching. We also encourage surveys of available technologies, and reporting on user experiences. Papers that do not focus on affective social processing for healthcare and applications will not be reviewed. Specific interests are in (but not limited to) the following areas: . Network architectures for wireless telemedicine . Mobile service platform for continuity of healthcare . Privacy and security in affective/pervasive healthcare . Wireless and pervasive networks for telemedicine . Autonomic wireless sensor networks . Body area networks . Affective Signal processing techniques * Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring of affect-relevant events * Multimodal integration and fusion for contextual information processing for health care systems * Actuators, prompters, and virtual environments/characters for rehabilitation and behavior modification * Social Intelligent orthotics * Privacy architectures for affective medical records * Issues in healthcare technology standards, interoperability, security, usability, cost, ethics and privacy, etc * Emotional and social context awareness * Context-awareness user-modeling for healthcare * Implementation and design issues for human-centered socially intelligent user-interfaces * User acceptance issues and challenges (patients and caregivers) Manuscripts must be prepared according to the format of the IEEE Transactions ( http://bme.ee.cuhk.edu.hk/TITB/) and electronically submitted to Manuscript Central (http://embs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/). In submitting indicate that the paper is intended for the Special Issue on Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare.

This results into an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also in opening exciting research, development and business opportunities. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences. The event will enable information exchange and cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academy, research centers and industry through the organization of specific and interacting tracks related to: (i) technology, including wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the communication facility; (ii) services, in the vision of �always on?requirement; (iii) business models, opportunities and solutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST (INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING) TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES - Wireless Communication Standards (IEEE 802.11x, Personal Area Networks, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15, wireless USB, HiperLAN2, WiMAX) - Cellular Networks (2.5G, 3G, 3G LTE, LTE-A) - Ultra Wide Band - Next Generation Networks - Lightweight Devices Architecture (smartphones, PDAs) - Internetworking & Interoperability - Protocol Stack Design (Layering, Cross-layering) - Performance Evaluation and Optimization - Service-Oriented Architectures - Cognitive Radios and Networks SERVICES - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive Multimedia - Voice and Voice over IP - Usability and HMI - Location Services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and Next Generation Services BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS - Architectures Deployment - Service Provisioning - Value-Added Services - Business Models - Next Generation Lightweight Devices - Industry Perspectives and Market Evolution - Users?Needs and Requirements - Available and Emerging Solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer-review.

Call for Papers 22nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems ARCS 2009 - System Architecture and Energy Awareness - held from March, 10th to March 13th in Delft, The Netherlands Submission deadline October 10th The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is energy awareness viewed from two different ways Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research. In 2009 ARCS will be hosted by the Delft University of Technology, which has one of the leading information technology schools in Europe. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Paper submission ================ Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers on one of the following topics: - Energy-awareness, green computing. - Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing. - Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software. - Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power management, and RTOS. - System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware. - Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques. - Embedded systems including but not limited to architecture, communication, design methodologies, and applications. - Network Centric and Grid Computing issues with a focus on middleware.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special COMNET issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" Datum: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 11:41:52 +0300 Von: Stavros Toumpis <toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL * * Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" * (Paper Submission Deadline, October 1st) Many recent fundamental results in communications and networking have been obtained using tools developed within … [View More]other branches of science: statistical physics methodologies have been used in detection in CDMA; the understanding of phase transitions in loss networks has enabled the design of trunk reservation solutions for efficient routing in telephony; techniques from percolation and from random graph theory have been useful in understanding connectivity and coverage in ad hoc networks; Equilibria concepts from game theory represent now a commonly used tool for analyzing interactions in distributed systems and devising efficient pricing mechanisms. Based on these recent developments, it is clear that there are many other potentially useful tools and techniques developed in different scientific fields that the networking community is not aware of. With this Special Issue of Computer Networks, we aim to bring to the attention of researchers and practitioners novel interdisciplinary tools that can be successfully applied to the analysis and design of computer and communication networks. We solicit papers that innovatively use tools from other scientific disciplines in the service of understanding, analyzing, and optimizing computer and communication networks. A limited number of invited survey papers, presenting relevant tools and techniques from other disciplines, will also be considered for publication. We are particularly interested in paradigms that build on results and techniques developed in the context of: * Biology * Physics * Road traffic engineering * Utility Network Engineering * Economics and Social Systems The list is not restrictive - authors are encouraged to contact the editors before submitting a paper to determine whether the proposed submission is within the scope of the Special Issue. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in good English, and describe original research not published, nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers that have substantially new material with respect to previous conference versions will however be considered. For such submissions, the authors are requested to mention the original conference and specify the changes. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the guidelines in the Guide for Authors, found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit them to the online submission and reviewing tool, at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: SI-New Network Paradigms.
