[Tccc] Extended CFP - Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience IMUx @ Pervasive 2008 - Extended Deadline: February 8th
by Petteri Nurmi 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

[Apologies for Cross-Posting] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMUx 2008 - CALL FOR PAPERS The Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience (IMUx 2008) http://www.hiit.fi/events/imux2008 in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2008), 19-22 May 2008, Sydney, Australia http://pervasive2008.org/ Extended Submission Deadline: 8 February 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEME Current interfaces of mobile devices are rather limited when adaptability, context-awareness and proactiveness are considered. For example, they do not utilize the context of the interaction, nor the environmental changes in the user's proximity or the capabilities of the device itself. This context can include information about the situation and the user preferences, longer or shorter time usage histories, etc. To improve usability and to provide a better user experience, the interfaces of the devices should become more intelligent and require less intentional user inputs. In order to achieve this goal, novel interaction methods need to be developed and combined with statistical models of the user that capture, for example, her behavior, personal preferences and goals. Furthermore, the developed solutions need to be evaluated via extensive user tests to guarantee they are valuable to the users. To improve the dialogue between the different research areas and their practitioners, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the fields of user modeling, user interaction and user experience, with developers of mobile and ubiquitous applications. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to provide a common forum for exchanging ideas between these domains. The workshop welcomes two kinds of paper submissions: research papers and position papers. Also videos and demonstrations can be submitted. The research papers should present original research related to one or more of the following areas: * user interaction in mobile environments, * ubiquitous user modeling, and * mobile user experience. The position papers should address challenges in combining the above-mentioned areas, and beyond, for an improved mobile user experience, and propose approaches for overcoming these challenges. We encourage authors to take a visionary view and a critical stand towards current practices and trends. Example topics for the research and position papers include, but are not limited to, * adaptive context-aware user interfaces, * mobile computing applications with adaptation, * considerate computing, * context-aware information retrieval, * embedded solutions for machine learning, * large scale data gathering and its challenges, * large scale user studies, * minimal/implicit/reduced user interaction, * mixed-initiative interaction. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline: 8 February 2008 at 23:59 EST. Notification: 29 February 2008. Day of workshop: 19 May 2008 or 22 May 2008 (pending the Pervasive conference organizer's decision) SUBMISSIONS The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines. The maximum length of submissions is 10 pages for research papers and 6 pages for videos and demonstrations. Papers should be submitted by email to the address imux2008(a)hiit.fi by 8th of February 2008 at 23:59 EST. Each paper will be sent for review to three members of the program committee or organizing committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final CfP: ACM SIGMOBILE MobilityModels'08 at MobiHoc'08 Datum: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:43:50 -0500 Von: Mirco Musolesi <musolesi(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. ---------------------- MobilityModels'08 First ACM SIGMOBILE International Workshop on Mobility Models for Networking Research Colocated with ACM SIGMOBILE MobiHoc'08 Hong Kong 26 May 2008 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/ *Scope of the Workshop* One of the key issues in the evaluation of algorithms, protocols and systems for mobile networks is modeling node mobility. Different types of models have been proposed in the last decade, from those founded on purely synthetic movements, such as the ones based on purely random movements of the nodes to the ones based aiming at reproducing the mobility patterns inside specific places like campuses or cities. In addition, efforts to collect real traces of people movement have been made and traces have been made available and used in simulators. Despite these efforts, the problem of understanding and modeling mobility, and, more specifically, human mobility remains of great interest for the mobile ad hoc networks community, as many questions are still unanswered and evaluation methodologies still unsatisfactory. New insights and more refined and realistic models are still needed, bringing together real world measurements and mathematical characterization of node mobility. These problems are of interest to anyone working on mobile networking, as these models are often at the basis of the performance evaluation, comparison, and validation of new approaches and solutions. We solicit the papers on mobility models for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on mobility characterizations based on real traces are also welcomed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working or interested in mobility modeling and characterizations. We wish to build a lively forum to propose and discuss recent advances in mobility modeling both from theoretical and practical point of views. The workshop will be opened to contributions from researchers tackling the research problems in this area from different perspectives, with the aim of discussing the many open issues in movement modeling trying to identify novel solutions to be investigated also by means of collaborations among the participants of the workshop. We will welcome especially highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking existing results or confirming existing models by means of new experimental results. Papers providing key mathematical insights on open mobility modeling issues will also be highly appreciated. We invite to submit papers in the following areas: * Design, implementation and evaluation of synthetic and trace-based mobility models * Validation of synthetic models using real world traces * Mathematical characterization of human mobility * Analysis and characterization of dynamic network topologies * Mobility and connectivity modeling * Influence of mobility on radio characterization * Complex networks models for mobility modeling * Human mobility and social networks * Impact of mobility modeling on algorithms, protocols and systems performance * Network measurements and mobility characterization * Simulation tools and testbed for mobility simulation * Systems testing based on real world mobility traces * Mobility traces collection and data archive, including privacy issues * Mobility characterizations of real traces *Submission Format* Page length is up to 8 pages (10pt ACM format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not be anonymized. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through EDAS. Instructions are available in the workshop Website. *Important dates* Submission deadline: 18 February 2008 Notification to the authors: 18 March 2008 Camera ready version deadline: 24 March 2008 Workshop date: 26 May 2008 *Organization* Workshop Program Chairs Minkyong Kim (IBM Watson, USA) Cecilia Mascolo (University of Cambridge, UK) Mirco Musolesi (Dartmouth College, USA) Workshop Program Committee Marcelo Dias de Amorim (LIP6/University Pierre et Marie Curie, France) Elizabeth M.

[Tccc] [CFP] Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on "Adaptive Multicarrier Communications and Networks"
by Yan ZHANG 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on "Adaptive Multicarrier Communications and Networks" http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom Scope ===== Authors are invited to submit detailed technical manuscripts reporting recent developments in the topics related to the special issue. Multicarrier communications is a very promising technique to deliver high data rate and combat delay spread over fading channel. OFDM-based multicarrier communications is used in the standards IEEE 802.11 WirelessLAN, IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN, and 3GPP-LTE Group 4G. Adaptability is an inherent advantage of multicarrier communication systems. It can be either implemented in each layer in the protocol stack or realized through a cross-layer approach. The essential self-x attributes, i.e. self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, in enabling autonomic adaptability are in the early stage of research. In addition, there are a number of emerging technical, economical, and regulatory challenges when the multicarrier system is co-operating with unlicensed systems via a cognitive radio paradigm. This special issue is devoted to exploring how adaptive capability is employed from physical to network and application layers in multicarrier communications, networks, systems, and standards. Some suggested topics include but are not limited to: ======================================================= . Adaptive coding and modulation . Adaptive signal processing techniques . Multicarrier CDMA/OFDMA . Multiuser interference in cellular systems . Self-configuration, self-management, and self-healing . Autonomic architectures and protocols . Cognitive and adaptive systems . Security and privacy management . Resource, Mobility and QoS provisioning . Cross-layer optimization . MAC and Network layer management . Adaptive multimedia transmission . Cooperation/Game theory for multiuser communications . Network reliability, dependability, and survivability . Network modeling and performance analysis . Multicarrier communications in Broadband Wireless Access, e.g. Cellular and WiMAX . Testbed, experiment, implementation, and applications Submission Format: ===================== The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

30 Jan '08

(We apologize if you received multiple copies of this CFP.) CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** The First ACM International Workshop on Integrated Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HeterSenet 2008) Hong Kong, China, May 30, 2008, co-located with ACM MobiHoc http://anyserver.cityu.edu.hk/HeterSenet/hetersenet.htm *********************************************************************** Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend of integration of sensor networks with existing infrastructure networks like wired networks and wireless local/wide-area networks. Such integration provides several key technical advantages including significant improvement of sensor networks' capacity/coverage, ubiquitous access of physical information and involvement of people (e.g., mobile phone users) in the process of information gathering and sharing. As a result, a range of new context and location-aware pervasive computing applications will be enabled. The workshop seeks to provide a forum for the presentation of research results on the integration of sensor networks with existing infrastructure networks like wired networks, and wireless local/wide-area networks. A heterogeneous network environment is typically composed of terminals with different capacities such as sensors, actuators, mobile devices (PDAs and mobile phones), and Internet hosts. Seamlessly integration of these terminals requires innovative network architectures, data services, and communication protocols. In urban environments, mobile phones can be used as sensors to collect image, audio, video and location information. New business models and incentives should be sought to allow mobile phone users to participate in the creation and provision of sensor based services. The workshop will cover data link, network and transport layers, as well as application, data services and middleware, security, power management issues in integrated heterogeneous networks, including sensors and actuators, local area, vehicular, personal, and wide-area networks. Possible topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - integration of sensor networks with the future Internet architecture - network support for creation and deployment of sensor based services - interconnection between sensor networks and 3G networks - multimedia (audio/video) sensor networks - delay-tolerant sensor networks - sensor database systems and operating systems - addressing, position determination, service and location discovery - sensor area coverage, data-centric operations - data communication, routing and broadcasting protocols - traffic engineering and multimedia, Quality of Service (QoS) - resource management and scheduling - application of RFID in sensor networks - security for integrated and heterogeneous sensor network systems - performance evaluation, testbeds, modeling and simulation. *********************************************************************** Important Dates Submission deadline: Feb. 26, 2008 Acceptance notification: March 20, 2008 Workshop: May 30, 2008 *********************************************************************** Submission Details Papers should be submitted in PDF format via email (pedrom@dif.um.es;srdjan.krco@ericsson.com;glxing@cs.cityu.edu).

CfP: 1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08)
by Lars Wolf 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08) Lakeshore Hotel, Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 4-6, 2008 http://una.cs.ucc.ie held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008 Urban settings are host of diverse networking technologies, from cellular and wired broadband to WiMAX, WiFi, Bluetooth and, more recently, mesh and sensor networks. While this rich environment offers opportunities for connectivity, inter-operability and sharing of services and resources, the co-existence of these heterogeneous technologies, competing for the same resources and offering similar services, poses difficult engineering and legal problems. For example, network planning is a major issue that can determine the effective use of each network and, when possible, inter-operability of the networks. Cities administrations are keen to deploy and take advantage of public service networks, whereas citizens are interested to use public or private services at home, at work or while driving or walking. Private initiatives may selectively focus on certain niche services. Overall, urban networks can increase the quality of life in cities and can make the distinction among cities. In achieving this goal, many technical challenges have to be tackled. This workshop will be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, service models and novel applications for urban networks. The topics for submission include but are not limited to: cognitive radio technologies congestion control micro- and pico-cell control architecture hybrid cell configuration sensor networks in urban settings personal area networks vehicular networks mesh networks mobile ad hoc networks networks planning networks inter-operability data mining of a large volume of data in urban networks database support for urban networks network and service discovery mobility supporting services context awareness mobile middleware ubiquitous and urban computing urban network systems and applications locative media and applications access, security and privacy in urban networks Submissions Both research and industry papers are solicited. Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers reporting work in progress are welcome. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the workshop chair. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ACSAC 2008, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers are limited to 8 pages including figures and references and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through https://www.softconf.com/starts/acsac2008/submit.html The publication of a paper requires at least one of the authors to register and be present at the conference. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected. Important dates Paper submissions due: March 20, 2008 Acceptance notification: April 30 2008 Final camera-ready due: May 10, 2008 Workshop Chair Dan Grigoras University College Cork, Ireland d.grigoras(a)cs.ucc.ie Workshop Publicity Chair Daniel Doolan University College Cork, Ireland d.doolan(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee Jemal Abawajy Deakin University, Australia Akira Arutaki NEC Communication Systems, Japan Antonio Capone Politecnico di Milano, Italy Valentin Cristea Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania Mario Gerla University of California, Los Angeles, USA Mads Haahr Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Diego López de Ipiña Deusto University, Spain Seung Jin Lim Utah State University, USA Chun-Yuan Lin Chang Gung University, Taiwan Alex Nicolau University of California, Irvine, USA Giovanni Pau University of California, Los Angeles, USA Gregor Schiele Mannheim University, Germany Cormac Sreenan University College Cork, Ireland Lars Wolf Technical University Braunschweig, Germany
