Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014)
by Lars Wolf 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Fri, 1 Nov 2013 22:02:28 +0100 Von: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] Due date extended *one week* to November 11, 2013! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 02 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks Datum: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 10:28:27 -0200 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks *Aims and Scope* Society's increasing dependence on communication networks, the Internet and their services is evident from the wide range of activities that use electronic media, from entertainment to critical operations related to commerce, finance and life care. Humanity relies on the Internet to access information, obtain services, manage finances, and communicate with others. Businesses use the Internet to transact commerce with consumers and other businesses. Governments depend on communication networks for their daily operation and service delivery. The military depends on the Global Information Grid to execute network centric operations and warfare. Hence, in addition to transportation-infrastructure, power-generation, and distribution-grid public/private networks, the Internet and other publicly accessible communication networks are today critical infrastructures upon which our lives and prosperity depend. Given this dependence, vulnerabilities of communication networks and the Internet can significantly impact our lives. The dependence on communication networks and the Internet makes them an attractive target for attacks and intrusions attempting to either obtain information or disrupt service of individuals, businesses, government and military. These networks and services are also susceptible to accidents, faults or natural disasters that can disrupt service. Examples of natural disasters that compromised the network infrastructure are the hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. In the face of these difficulties, the need for greater resilience has been recognized for wireline and wireless networks and for the Internet. Resilience has classically been defined as the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults, accidents, attacks and natural disasters. This subject has attracted the attention of researchers, industry and governments around the world. Today, resilience can be considered an essential characteristic in the design and operation of networks to withstand the intrusions described above. Furthermore, we must now expand resilience to include new requirements, such as scalability, dynamic and opportunistic topologies, and global interoperation and interdependence among networks. This feature topic call-for-papers solicits recent, relevant works related to disaster resilience, especially in emerging networks. The main goal is to provide for the *IEEE Communications Magazine *an overview of the state-of-the-art of resilience, and to identify the new challenges from emerging network infrastructures in terms of scalability, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. Works addressing resilience issues in the context of new communication technologies, such as software-defined networks, cognitive radio and emerging optical technologies are of particular interest. *Topics* Articles describing original research and development as well as survey articles related to disaster resilience are solicited. The topics to be covered by this feature topic include, but are not limited to: * Disaster resilience for the following technologies: - LTE, LTE-A, 4G, Small Cells, femto-cells - Heterogeneous wireless networks - Access Networks - Flexible Optical Networks - Overlay and multi-layer networks - Virtualized Networks - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) - Datacenters, Cloud infrastructures, Networks for Big Data - Smart Grids, M2M - Green networks * Disaster resilience approaches coping with: - Mitigation and reconstruction of network infrastructure - Management for post disaster network infrastructure reconstruction - Network infrastructure adaptive capacity - Disaster risk reduction - Risk management and sustainability - Community and social engagement in providing communication infrastructure in disaster situation - Knowledge management and integration - Public policy and governance to build disaster resilient smart cities - Energy efficiency *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the *IEEE Communications Magazine*’s guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important to note that the *IEEE Communications Magazine* strongly limits mathematical content, the number of figures and tables, and the number of references. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select “October 2014/Disaster Resilience” as the submission category. *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission Due: February 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2014 Publication: October 2014 *Guest Editors* Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Deep Medhi, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA Robert Doverspike, AT&T Labs Research, USA *Further Information* http://www.comsoc.org/commag/call-for-papers ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Editor-in-Chief: Manuel Laguna. Impact factor (2012): 1.471 (Q1, COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEORY & METHODS). Aims and Scope: ============== Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays an extended engineering technology for many markets due to the great amount of their possibilities in collecting data from complex environments and processing them for different purposes. Nevertheless, this interest is not enough to apply this kind of networks as trustworthy solution for many real-world environments, such as industrial processes and critical infrastructures, where high reliability is required, together with other related key aspects as energy, security and efficiency. Many companies could overcome their reluctances if economic, reliable and easily deployed solutions are provided in this field. In this scenario, the heuristics and computational intelligence play an important role to solve many involved optimization problems, doing necessary the research on advanced solutions that result in a successful product. In this sense, there are many challenges, trends and open possibilities in this area that deserve to be known. In this special issue, we seek original, high quality articles, clearly focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the heuristics and mathematical optimization methods for obtaining reliable and efficient wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to the topics shown below. Topics of Interest: ================== The topics related to heuristics for reliable and efficient Wireless Sensor Networks deployments that are relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: * Energy minimization aspects: network lifetime and power savings. * Efficient networks deployments. * Heuristics and computational intelligence applied for solving optimization problems. * Multiobjective optimization problems. * Fault tolerance and quality of service. * Robust routing algorithms, network protocols and operating systems. * Security and privacy aspects of the communications. * Microprocessors, circuits, and embedded applications. * Application cases, user studies and experiences. Papers must be tailored to the problem of the wireless sensor networks and explicitly consider heuristics and mathematical optimization methods. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue.

Using this paradigm, ordinary citizens can collect multi- modal data streams (e.g., audio, video, sound, location coordinates, etc.) from the surrounding environment using their mobile devices and share the same using existing communication infrastructure (e.g., cellular services or WiFi access points). The data contributed from multiple participants can be combined to build a spatiotemporal view of the phenomenon of interest and also to extract important community statistics. Given the ubiquity of mobile phones and the high density of people in metropolitan areas, participatory sensing can achieve an unprecedented level of coverage in both space and time for observing events of interest in urban spaces. The Participatory Sensing and Crowdsourcing symposium at ISSNIP 2014 is designed to attract diverse participation from researchers and practitioners working at the leading edge in participatory sensing and crowdsourcing technologies. This necessarily covers a broad spectrum of topics, representative of the cross-cutting nature of the area -- from novel applications, to making sense of large-scale sensor data, to human computer interaction, to practical experiments. We solicit original and unpublished manuscripts on various aspects of participatory sensing, including (but not limited to) the following topics: - Novel applications - Participatory sensing, opportunistic sensing and crowdsourcing paradigms - Middleware support and programming models - Mining large scale multi-modal sensor data - Intersections with cloud technologies - Interactions between mobile devices and humans - Novel user interfaces - Energy-efficient sensing - Activity recognition and high-level inferences - User privacy issues - Incentive mechanisms to motivate participation - Assessing data trustworthiness - Synergies between online social networks and participatory sensing - Application deployment issues and experiences with large-scale deployment FORMATTING GUIDELINES Please follow the IEEE ISSNIP 2014 Formatting: http://issnip2014.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/authors.php SYMPOSIUM CHAIRS Salil Kanhere, The University of New South Wales, Australia Tony Tie Luo, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore TECHNICAL PROGRAMME COMMITTEE MEMBERS (in alphabetic order) Delphine Christin, Technical University Darmstadt, Germany Chun Tung Chou, The University of New South Wales, Australia Pradipta De, SUNY, Korea Raghu Ganti, IBM Research, USA Vana Kalogeraki, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Ioannis Krontiris, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Kun-Chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Archan Misra, Singapore Management University, Singapore Thanasis Papaioannou, EPFL, Switzerland Venkataraman Ramakrishna, IBM Research, India Rajib Rana, CSIRO, Australia Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Paul Roe, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Vijay Sivaraman, The University of New South Wales, Australia Aniruddha Sinha, Tata Consultancy Services, India Chen-Khong Tham, National University of Singapore, Singapore Kuldeep Yadav, Xerox Research, India Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research, USA Dejun Yang, Colorado School of Mines, USA Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, Cyprus ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] Pervasive and Mobile Computing J.: SI on the Internet of Things Datum: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:13:10 +0100 Von: Enzo Mingozzi <e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: University of Pisa An: <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> *CALL FOR PAPERS* Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal *Special Issue on the Internet of Things* *Deadline: November 15, 2013* http://goo.gl/cMLfsU SCOPE ----- In recent years, Internet has become increasingly ubiquitous. Besides allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere, the Internet is evolving into the communication medium for objects that are embedded in the physical world. The coupling between such objects and a worldwide standard-based communication infrastructure constitutes the Internet of Things (IoT) and is characterized by machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The IoT enables a detailed characterization of the physical environment, as well as a rich set of interactions with the physical world. As such, the IoT has the potential to revolutionize pervasive computing and its applications. Indeed, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT poses several challenges about seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, and many others.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks Datum: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 18:49:10 -0500 Von: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> Antwort an: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Deadline Extended to November 22, 2013. ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal "Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks ------------------------------------------------------------ With the recent initiatives to upgrade the existing power grid to a Smart Grid, there has been a significant interest in the design and development of an efficient communication infrastructure for connecting different components of the Smart Grid. In addition to currently used underlying networks and protocols, new wired/wireless networks and protocols are planned to be deployed for different components/applications of the Smart Grid. Based on the data requirements of the applications, new challenges have arisen at the network layer of the protocol stack with respect to routing and data forwarding. Smart Grid is expected to be a multi-tier network supported by a hybrid mesh of different communications technologies to provide efficient and reliable access to grid components in diverse environments. Mainly, there will be three components of this multi-tier network which can be deploying a variety of communications networks. These networks are known as Home Area Network (HAN)/ Field Area Networks (FAN), Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Recent research on Smart Grid mostly focused on the security and privacy aspects of its applications. While some of the current routing protocols designed for wireless networks can be partially used in some of the Smart Grid networks, unique characteristics of Smart Grid applications as well as the large-scale size of the infrastructure necessitates new research at the network layer. In particular, there are several key issues need to be addressed in order to support network interconnectivity across the Smart Grid communication infrastructure that consists of HANs, NANs and WANs. For instance, scalability is an issue if a wireless infrastructure is to be used given that current wireless networking protocols are geared for small-size networks. In this respect, employment of power-line communications requires careful adaptation of the current routing protocols to address interference issues on power-lines. Another important issue is security since Smart Grid will consist of multiple-interconnected networks with diverse underlying communication technology, ownership and management. The availability and reliability of the Smart Grid as well as certain privacy information such as power usage data from each household need to be protected en route to the destination. Furthermore, the communication infrastructure will require status monitoring, fault detection, isolation, and recovery that pertain to rerouting. Finally, the ability to uniquely identify elements in the network and routing capabilities to all network end points for a wide range of applications with different quality of service (QoS) requirements will need to be addressed. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of routing in several networks of Smart Grid with different goals, characteristics and limitations. We solicit papers which will address routing challenges that are unique to Smart Grid and address major issues such as security, privacy, reliability, QoS, interference and scalability which pertain to Smart Grid applications. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to - Scalable routing protocols for NANs and FANs - Efficient routing protocols in HANs - Novel routing protocols in powerline communications - Adaptation of existing routing protocols for powerline communications - QoS routing on NANs for Demand Response and WASA (Wide Area Situational Awareness) applications - Secure routing protocols in HANs and NANs - Reliable routing in lossy environments - User privacy and routing trade-offs in HANs and NANs - QoS and security tradeoffs in routing HANs and NANs - Interoperability, standardization and node heterogeinty in routing across HANs, NANs and WANs - Node placement and routing performance issues - Routing protocols for fault-detection and recovery - Data aggregation and routing - Cross-layer routing via multiple channels and MIMO - Routing experiences in testbeds and real-life applications - Support for aggregation and disaggregation of Smart Grid data in support for temporal and spatial visibility - In-network processing and sharing of distributed generation and renewable energy source and its communications infrastructure - Routing support for bad data detection - Interference and routing interrelations and techniques to mitigate the performance Degradations - Routing techniques to deal with massive data from Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and smart meters Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communication Magazine Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing Datum: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:24:58 -0400 Von: Emiliano Miluzzo <miluzzo(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> Antwort an: Emiliano Miluzzo <miluzzo(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ==== apologies if you received multiple copies of this message ==== *** C a l l f o r P a p e r s *** IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0814.html /Introduction/ Successful city management relies on urban dynamics and social event monitoring to provide essential information for decision making. In traditional sensing techniques such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), distributed sensors are leveraged to acquire real world conditions. However, static sensing is affected by several conditions, such as insufficient node coverage, high installation/maintenance cost, and lack of scalability. Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) presents a new sensing paradigm based on the power of various mobile devices/objects (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, sensor-equipped vehicles, etc.). The sheer number of mobile device users and their inherent mobility enables a new and fast-growing sensing paradigm: the ability to acquire local knowledge through sensor-enhanced mobile devices ®C e.g., location, personal and surrounding context, noise level, traffic conditions, and in the future more specialized information such as pollution ®C and the possibility to share this knowledge within the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers such as municipalities for example. The information collected by the mobile devices on the ground combined with the support of the cloud where data fusion takes place, make mobile sensing a versatile platform that can often replace static sensing infrastructures, and enabling a broad range of applications from urban dynamic mining, public safety, environment monitoring, just to name a few. Numerous and unique research challenges arise from the mobile crowd sensing paradigm ranging from participatory and opportunistic data collection, proper incentive mechanisms, transient network communication, and big data processing. By having human participation in the loop, several other issues regarding to the privacy and security of data (e.g., sensitive information such as human voice, location may be revealed), quality/trust of the data contributed (e.g., there might be fake or malicious nodes involved) should also be addressed. This feature topic issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this feature topic on Mobile Crowd Sensing is threefold: -to promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; -to identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; -to exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. Topics may include (but are not limited to): - Architecture/Framework Design - Participatory Data Collection (node selection, data sampling, scheduling sensing) - Opportunistic Sensing and Communication - Sensor Performance and Types for MCS - Incentive Mechanisms for MCS - Communication in Weak/Transient Networking Environments - Big Data Processing and Urban/Social Mining - Privacy, Security, and Trust Issues in MCS - Social and Psychological Issues in MCS - Energy Efficiency in MCS - Emerging/Novel Application Areas of MCS - Performance Evaluation of MCS Submissions Papers must be tailored to the problems of mobile crowd sensing and explicitly consider above issues. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscript center (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee ) according to the timetable below.

Besides allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere, the Internet is evolving into the communication medium for objects that are embedded in the physical world. The coupling between such objects and a worldwide standard-based communication infrastructure constitutes the Internet of Things (IoT) and is characterized by machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The IoT enables a detailed characterization of the physical environment, as well as a rich set of interactions with the physical world. As such, the IoT has the potential to revolutionize pervasive computing and its applications. Indeed, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT poses several challenges about seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, and many others. This special issue solicits high-quality papers presenting original research results on the IoT that are tightly related to pervasive and ubiquitous scenarios. Submissions could consist of theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to: * System architectures for the IoT targeted to pervasive scenarios * Adaptive and autonomic computing in the IoT * Middleware and service platforms for ubiquitous IoT applications * Security and privacy in pervasive IoT scenarios * Ubiquitous computing solutions exploiting the M2M paradigm * Context awareness in the IoT * Mobility management in the IoT and in M2M communications * Experiences in building ubiquitous IoT platforms * Pervasive applications built on top of the IoT * Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT and M2M communications * Sustainable design and solutions for the IoT All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published by the Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc). Authors should select the SI: Internet of Things, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more conference papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). In this case, authors are requested to submit their relevant previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

One central element of this trend is the existence of a massive network of interconnected wired/wireless physical objects/things/sensors/devices, which can interact in a rich set of manners through a worldwide communication and information infrastructure and provide value added services. The vision of such an Internet of Things (IoT) system, supported by industrial companies and governments globally, has the potential to mark an evolution that will surely have a great impact on our environments and our lives. Yet, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT also poses a number of challenges where security is among the top concerns. The globally interconnected physical objects inevitably result in a potentially enormous attack surface that can be easily exploited if without adequate protection. To enable strong security foundations for the ubiquitous IoT, plenty of factors need to be taken into account.

The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: * identify and understand problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); * design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and * organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. The Pervasive Healthcare conference in Oldenburg aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. We welcome contributions from the following fields:Sensing Technologies and Pervasive Computing * Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions * Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) * Hardware and Software Infrastructures *We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to:* Pervasive Healthcare Management * Challenges surrounding data quality * Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare * Business cases and cost issues * Security and privacy issues * Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare * Legal and regulatory issues * Staffing and resource management Understanding Users * Identifying and addressing stakeholder needs * Usability and acceptability * Barriers to adoption, and enablers * Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion * Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services * Patient empowerment * Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements * Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations * Digital interventions and health behavior change Knowledge Representation and Reasoning * Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data * Activity recognition and fall detection * User modelling and personalization * Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environments * Sensor-based decision support systems * Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors * Wearable and implantable sensor integration * Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments * Data mining medical patient records * Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware * Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications * Autonomous systems to support independent living * Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies * Telemedicine * Chronic disease and health risk management applications * Health/Wellbeing promotion and disease prevention * Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring * Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients * Smart homes and hospitals * Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data * Wellbeing and lifestyle support * Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairments * Systems to support caregivers Important dates Workshops proposal deadline 2 December 2013 Paper submission due 16 December 2013 Acceptance notification 21 February 2014 Camera‐ready deadline 14 March 2014 Organizing committee *General Chair* Andreas Hein, University of Oldenburg *Program Chairs* Susanne Boll, University of Oldenburg Friedrich Köhler, Charité, Berlin *Short Papers and Posters Chairs* Katarzyna Wac, University of Geneva Young Seok Lee, Motorola *Medical Abstracts Chair* Stefan Wagner, Aarhus University *Workshop Chair* Lauren Wilcox, Columbia University *Demo Chair* Ernö Kovacs, NEC Labs Europe *Doctoral Colloquium Chair* Katie Siek, Indiana University Bloomington *Publication Chair* Heiko Müller, OFFIS Publicity and Web Chair Jochen Meyer, OFFIS Heiko Müller, OFFIS *Local Hosts* Jochen Meyer, OFFIS Albert Sill, University of Oldenburg Venue PervasiveHealth 2014 will be conducted in Oldenburg, a medium-sized city in northwestern Germany, in the middle between Hamburg (D) and Amsterdam (NL).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Infocom Workshop on Dynamic SOcial Networks (DySON) Datum: Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:03:37 -0700 Von: wkui <wkui(a)UVIC.CA> Antwort an: wkui <wkui(a)UVIC.CA> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers Workshop on Dynamic SOcial Networks (DySON) (Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2014) May 2, 2014 â Toronto, Canada http://www.netmode.ntua.gr/dyson2014/index.html Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance: February 07, 2014 Camera-ready due: February 28, 2014 Social wireless and mobile networks have gained considerable interest over the last five to ten years and have become in many cases the lion's share of wireless businesses. Such networks are now well known as the primal channels for communication between people, means for increasing marketing potentials, tools for enabling social research, and forums for affecting political trends, all of which eventually indicate a more than ever increasing penetration and exploitation of wireless and mobile networks in human lives. The proposed workshop (DySON) will mainly cover the technical aspects of the interplay between social and wireless mobile networks, and more specifically will focus on original contributions regarding topics, such as structure, behavior, and optimization of social and mobile wireless networks. DySON aspires to raise holistically the awareness of the research and industrial communities in the area of social wireless mobile networks from diverse and broad perspectives and provide a venue for the presentation and dissemination of the latest novel advances in the corresponding field of science. Emphasis will be placed on the interplay between social and mobile wireless networks, aiming at identifying commonalities and complementarities between them, with the final objective of highlighting approaches, properties and features that can be used in order to simultaneously improve their design and operation. Such interplay between social and mobile wireless networks has been lately addressed in the field of Complex Network Analysis (CNA), and DySON, aspires to receive and present the highest quality contributions regarding analysis, control and optimization from the perspective of CNA, thus achieving diversity of application domains (mobile/online social and wireless networks) and promoting the most interesting interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary analytical methodologies. The workshop will be centered both on formal methods, as well as on noteworthy technical contributions of more practical flavor. Concepts and knowledge from several fields need to be jointly considered to address the corresponding challenges, while opening new frontiers and opportunities in relevant research. CNA and utility maximization already applied in the field of complex networks and socio-aware information networks exhibiting the tight interplay between wireless and social networks, along with the design of communication protocols and respective algorithms are just few indicative examples. DySON aims for papers following the above approach and will be devoted to the presentation of the highest quality ones, thus contributing to creating critical mass in the corresponding literature and further steaming the locomotive of control and optimization in social and mobile wireless networks. The DySON workshop welcomes contributions that will be mainly involved, but not limited to the following list of topics: * Interplay between online social networks and wireless communications * Network Utility Maximization (NUM) for mobile social and wireless networks * Complex network structure analysis and optimization * Graph theoretic analysis for mobile complex (social and wireless) networks * Game theoretic and economic analysis * Structure of social networks and their influence to the design of advanced wireless networks * Primal-dual decomposition for complex network algorithms * Stochastic network optimization * Cross-layer network optimization * Topology Control for complex networks * Social relationship graphs of mobile devices * Adaptive algorithms for evolving online social and wireless networks * Resilience and fault-tolerant network optimization * Social-aware network solutions in wireless communications * Complexity and approximation of social/mobile network optimization and control techniques * Optimal content dissemination in complex networks * Mobile cyber-physical systems Workshop Co-Chairs Symeon Papavassiliou National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece papavass(a)mail.ntua.gr Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada ivan(a)site.uottawa.ca Technical Program Committee Co-Chairs My T.
