(HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments * Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc. * Building, Library, School, Campus, etc. * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications 3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association * Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh * Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems * Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems 4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * End-User Interface, Control & Programming * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of UI and SW * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE COM MAGAZINE SPECIAL FEATURE TOPIC Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:57:58 -0500 From: Ibrahim Habib <habib(a)ccny.cuny.edu> Reply-To: habib(a)ccny.cuny.edu To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: Andrzej Jajszczyk <jajszczyk(a)kt.agh.edu.pl>, awduche(a)awduche.com Dear Friends and Colleagues Please note the following CFP: Deadline for Papers Sumission is April 1st. Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on "Advances in Control and Management of Connection-Oriented Networks" The objective of this feature topic is to report to the community recent research and development activities in the general area of control and management of connection-oriented networks enabled by techniques such as MPLS label switched paths, MPLS pseudo-wire emulation, VLANs, and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS). Dynamic control of connection oriented networks entails the implementation of capabilities within the network for state information management, resource allocation, decision making, and action invocation. These capabilities are manifested through sophisticated control plane algorithms and protocols for path computation, routing, and signaling. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocols have attained a high level of maturity to the extent that many network equipment vendors are now augmenting their products with MPLS and GMPLS software and major carriers are now providing mission critical MPLS-based IP VPN services as a cost-effective alternative to traditional point-to-point TDM private lines. At the same time, recent advancements in the area of MPLS and GMPLS control plane technologies have led to the proposition that it is possible to develop a unified control plane construct that can be used for different types of connection oriented networks, encompassing a broad range of switching technologies. Scope of contributions Original contributions of a tutorial nature are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: Novel architectures for MPLS and GMPLS networks Inter-domain routing and signaling Routing and signaling for heterogeneous paths Automatic discovery techniques Call and connection management Multi-layers protection and restoration Transport Protocols protocols for high speed connections Distributed versus centralized management solutions Security of control plane messages Pseudo-wire emulation Resource allocation in and contention resolution in multi-layer networks Integrated network control and management Control interconnection models Interfaces to dynamically controlled optical networks Intelligent network control middleware Multi-layer traffic engineering Control plane design Testbeds and field trials Schedule: Full article submission: April 1, 2006 Acceptance/rejection/revision: July 1, 2006 Revised manuscripts: August 1, 2006 Final manuscripts due: October 1, 2006 Publication date: December 2006 Submission of the papers: For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

However, the promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear". In order to do that they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic computing and autonommic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks - Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks - Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications - Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks - Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems - Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems - Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IFIP-EC-NEWS] special issue of JCSCW on leisure technologies Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 08:55:09 +0100 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> ** IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING NEWS SERVICE ******* ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** ** Send all news to: icec(a)listserver.tue.nl ** **************************************************** ** NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ** ** not this IFIP ICEC News Service ** **************************************************** Special issue of JCSCW on Leisure Technologies Editors: Louise Barkhuus and Barry Brown, University of Glasgow Call for papers (Deadline March 17th 2006) While computers are a established part of leisure activity, research into leisure technology has remained an undercurrent in CSCW research. In this call we invite authors to submit papers to the CSCW journal that study the enjoyable aspects of collaboration and technology. Following work on domestic settings [Taylor et al., 2005], blogging [Nardi et al., 2004], gaming [Ducheneaut and Moore, 2004] and music listening [Ohara and Brown, 2005], there is a growing body of research that engages with the details of leisure practice. This work increases our understandings of the diversity of practices that make up leisure. Leisure cannot be defined in simple contrast with work - leisure often takes place as part of work, and many leisure activities can seem very work like, not to mention for those who work in the leisure industries. We call for research that takes these observations further, engaging with leisure as a new domain for technology research. In particular, we invite contributions that discuss the design of new leisure technologies, systems that support a broader range of activity than currently conceived- the sociable, emotional and playful aspects of our lives. We also call for conceptual contributions that deepen our understanding of how technologies can support or hinder existing leisure practices, such as sport and social relationships. The deadline for paper submissions is March 17th 2006, and submissions should be sent to barkhuus(a)dcs.gla.ac.uk. Submissions will be reviewed and authors notified before the end of June 2006. Topics include but are not limited to: * New innovative games, e.g. mobile or interactive * Mobile communication for social purposes, e.g. picture exchanging * Home entertainment technologies * Social and sociable implications of leisure technologies * Tourist technologies such as interactive tourist guides, museum visiting systems * Fitness/health technologies See also call for participation at: http://www.itu.dk/people/barkhuus/leisure-cfp-jcscw.pdf Review Committee: Matthew Chalmers, University of Glasgow Mark Perry, Brunel University Mark Stringer, University of Sussex Alex Taylor, Microsoft, Cambridge Keith Edwards, Georgia Institute of Technology Lars Erik Holmquist, Victoria Institute, Gothenburg Elizabeth Churchill, PARC Oscar Juhlin, Interactive Institute, Stockholm Nicolas Ducheneaut, PARC, Dirk von Lehm, Kings College London Kenton O'Hara, HP laps, Bristol References: Ducheneaut, N. and Moore, R.
