MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys-pcchairs14(a)umich.edu. Important Dates: - Abstract registration deadline: December 3, 2013, 11:59:59 PM EST (December 4, 2013, 04:59:59 AM UTC) - Paper submission deadline: December 10, 2013, 11:59:59 PM EST (December 11, 2013, 04:59:59 AM UTC) - Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2014 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems - Innovative mobile and mobile sensing applications - Tools for building and measuring mobile systems - Wearable computing and innovative mobile devices - Software architectures for mobile devices - Data management for mobile applications - Infrastructure support for node mobility - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Operating systems for mobile devices - Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web - Security and privacy in mobile systems - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - Vehicular wireless systems - User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems - Personal-area networks and systems - Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As is customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review process. We strongly encourage perspective author(s) to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. New in 2014: As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3)
by Lars Wolf 12 Sep '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Datum: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:15:40 -0400 Von: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> Antwort an: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Montevideo, Uruguay, November 25, 2013 http://mc3-2013.hds.utc.fr/ Hosted at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR) 2013 Scope and Objectives of MC3 -------------------------------------- The constant progress of both wireless technologies and robotics is rapidly leading to the convergence of these two fields towards the definition of a new discipline, wireless networked robotics (WNR), tackling multi-robot systems that can exploit the presence of a network medium for information sharing, interaction, and cooperation. In the past, communication and control have often been seen as two independent components of a robotic system, with the robot being passive with respect to networking and active in relation to other sensory-motor choices. Similarly, in networking, control actions other than communications are seen as external to the network device, and modeled as passive aspects of the system. Only limited work has addressed the inclusion of control mechanisms inside the classical ISO/OSI stack or through cross-layering approaches (mainly for energy consumption and mobility control). However, in WNR, adopting this differentiation between control and communication does not allow to fully exploit the capabilities of the system, since it directly impacts on the quality and reliability of robots' information flows. Networking and control need to be put in closed loop with each other} in order to fully unleash the power of a multi-robot system in terms of coordination and cooperative behaviors. In particular, controlled mobility can be play an important role supporting networking, and, in turn, boosting information sharing and robot to robot interactions. Similarly, networking parameters and policies need to continually adapt to the needs and constraints of the tasks the robots are engaged in. The MC3 workshop aims to address these issues, focusing on the investigation of the mutual interplay and adaptation between control and communication in networked systems featuring the presence of (heterogeneous) multiple mobile robots and sensors. The workshop will provide a contribution laying the pathway towards the information-centric design of cooperative, autonomous and self-organized robotic networks. Topics of Interest ---------------------- The workshop aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design and implementation of architectures, algorithms, and protocols for current and future applications of Wireless Networked Robotics, with an emphasis on the use of mobility. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Communication and motion-aware protocols for coordination and the cooperation of heterogeneous devices * Novel communication approaches for multi-robot wireless communications in different scenarios: aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial * Novel network stack or cross-layer architectures that include robot motion and control as network primitives * Intelligent use of controlled mobility to support and to be supported by networking * Cognitive radio and its applications to wireless networked robotics * Cooperative networking for cooperative task execution in multi-robot systems * Machine learning and bio-inspired approaches for wireless networked robotics * Use cases, novel applications, and testbeds for wireless networked robotics Venue ----- MC3 will be part of ICAR, the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics which be held at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de la República del Uruguay, in Montevideo, on November 25-29, 2013. This is the second edition of the MC3 workshop. In 2012 it was organized in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communication (ICNC), in Maui, Hawaii. The long-term objective is to keep organizing the MC3 workshop every year at a different conference, alternating between networking and robotics conferences. Paper Submission ------------------------ The deadline for paper submission is October 5, 2013. The maximum length for a paper is 8 pages in the IEEE format. Papers will be reviewed by three reviewers according to a single blind peer process. Papers, in PDF format need to be submitted to the following e-mail address, using 'MC3' as subject: mc3.icar(a)gmail.com. Please refer to the website http://mc3-2013.hds.utc.fr/ for the full information about paper format and submission procedure.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:45:40 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch> Antwort an: picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch Organisation: ETH Zürich An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS at http://edas.info/N15441.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine
by Lars Wolf 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:47:38 +0100 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> 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 -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Michele Nogueira <<michele AT inf.ufpr.br <http://inf.ufpr.br>>> Ph.D. in Computer Science www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele <http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility,on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 10:38:41 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Organisation: ETH Zürich An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS at http://edas.info/N15441.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM Multimedia Systems 2014 (MMSys'14) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 16:08:43 +0800 Von: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ACM MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CONFERENCE (MMSYS 2014) MARCH 19-21, 2014, SINGAPORE. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Multimedia systems permeate many aspects of our daily life, and are steadily developed further. MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore: - Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in one of more components, or - Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services. Such individual system components include: - Operating systems - Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements - Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers - Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia - New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses and algorithms for their operation - Representation of continuous or time-dependent media - Metrics, measures and measurement tools to assess performance This touches aspects of many hot topics: DASH, games, virtual environments, augmented reality, 3D video, immersive systems, telepresence, multi- and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile streaming, P2P, Clouds, cyber-physical systems – explore the connections on http://www.mmsys.org All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the technical program committee. Full papers will be evaluated for their scientific quality. Accepted papers must reach a high scientific standard and document unpublished research. Best papers' authors will be invited to submit a modified version of their contribution to the ACM TOMCCAP (Transaction on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications) journal. Student travel grants are available for a limited number of full-time student participants attending the conference. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be between 6 and 12 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style and written in English. The unusual length of MMSys papers is meant to enable authors to present entire multimedia systems or present research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published in the ACM Digital Library; they are available for just as long as journal papers and authors should not feel compelled by space limitations to publish extended works on top of an MMSys paper. Authors who submit very specific, detailed research work that does not require such brevity are encouraged to use less than 12 pages. The submission site is open: http://liubei.ddns.comp.nus.edu.sg/mmsys2014/index IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper Submission Deadline: September 27, 2013 Acceptance Notification: November 25, 2013 Camera Ready Deadline: January 15, 2014 CONTACT For further queries and extra information, please contact Wei Tsang Ooi at ooiwt(a)comp.nus.edu.sg ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Workshop on Device to Device and Public Safety Communications (WDPC), > > Co-located with IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), April 6-9 2014, Istanbul, Turkey > > Device-to-Device (D2D) communications as an underlay for wireless cellular networks is viewed as a key technology for providing seamless, high-quality wireless access in next-generation wireless systems. The D2D concept is built around the idea of allowing the wireless devices to communicate with one another via direct D2D links over licensed or unlicensed spectrum. Unlike traditional short-range D2D technologies such as Bluetooth or Zigbee, D2D in cellular systems is expected to provide high capacity and guaranteed QoS over long ranges. D2D is also expected to lead to novel wireless applications such as proximity services and robust public safety communications. Indeed, D2D is seen as a key feature of 5G wireless systems. However, reaping the benefits of D2D requires handling several challenges such as interference management, self-organization, network discovery, and resource allocation, among others. > > Main Topics > The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to D2D and PS communications.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- IEEE Communications Magazine -- Context-Aware Networking and Communications

Anfang der weitergeleiteten E‑Mail: > Von: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > Datum: 6. September 2013 20:48:23 MESZ > An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG > Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- IEEE Communications Magazine -- Context-Aware Networking and Communications > Antwort an: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > > Call for Papers > IEEE Communications Magazine > > Context-Aware Networking and Communications > > Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user’s context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. > A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). > Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). > This feature topic’s scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. > The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: > > · Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture > · Context-aware green communications and computing networking > · Context-aware modeling and analysis methods > · Context-aware security approaches > · Context-aware distributed systems > · Context-awareness in the Internet of Things > · Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web > · Context-aware data storage and cloud computing > · Context-aware recommender systems > · Context-awareness in smart spaces > · Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks > · Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution > · Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction > · Context-aware communications services and applications > · Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking > · Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing > · Mobile phone sensing > · Personal awareness in smart environments > · Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers > · Context-aware social networks > · Urban awareness for communications and networking > · Social agents and avatars > · Virtual humans for communications and networking > · Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications > > Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Pervasive Health 2014 Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 16:14:51 +0200 (CEST) Von: EAI Events <no-reply(a)eai.eu> Antwort an: no-reply(a)eai.eu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PERVASIVE HEALTH 2014 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 20-23 May 2014, Oldenburg, Germany www.pervasivehealth.org CONFERENCE AIMS PervasiveHealth is a premier international forum with specific focus on technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous computing in healthcare and wellbeing. 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 IMPORTANT DATES • Workshop Proposals: 4 November 2013 • Full Paper Submission: 2 December 2013 • Short Papers and Posters: TBA • Medical Perspective Abstracts: TBA • Notification of Acceptance: 14 February 2014 • Camera Ready: 14 March 2014 • Conference Dates: 20-23 May, 2014 TOPICS 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 VENUE PervasiveHealth 2014 will be conducted in Oldenburg, a medium-sized city in northwestern Germany, in the middle between Hamburg (D) and Amsterdam (NL). Embedded in a beautiful, unspoiled natural landscape the former residence of counts, dukes and grand dukes is now home to 160,000 people and a vibrant, modern city - a university city with 4 universities and more than 20,000 students. Going to Oldenburg is easy: Bremen airport is only 45 minutes away and is just one hop from the major international airport hubs Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Paris. Other major airports in easy reach are in Hamburg, Hanover and Münster/Osnabrück. SUBMISSIONS and PUBLICATION The conference invites the submission of original work through the Confy paper submission system in one or more of the following formats: full and short papers, workshops, posters, interactive demonstrations. Pervasive Health 2014 will accept submissions in the following categories: Full papers (up to 8 pages submissions) - Full papers are submissions describing results and original research work not submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories listed below. Full papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. Short Papers and Posters (up to 4 pages submissions): short papers are envisioned as submissions describing original research that is much more focused and smaller in scope than full research papers. Short papers are not expected to provide all the details on the research, but rather focus on the most innovative and salient aspects. In addition, short papers are not expected to include a comprehensive review of related work. Short papers will be presented during the main track of the conference. Poster category combines submissions reporting on the progress of ongoing research and insights into the lessons learned from current (industrial, practitioners, government, etc.) pervasive healthcare practice. Medical Perspective Abstracts (1-2 pages submissions) - Authors are invited to submit work in traditional medicine whose results are interesting to Pervasive Health audience. This track will give Pervasive Health attendees a way to learn about ongoing research initiatives, both in medicine and technology, and will provide presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable direct feedback from experts. Demos (2 pages submissions) - The demos track will showcase the latest developments and prototypes related to the topics of interest of the conference. The expected demo submissions should describe the technical details of the demo alongside its contribution to the healthcare domain. Workshop proposals (2 pages submissions) - Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to pervasive healthcare. Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages) – This event will enable doctoral students to present and reflect on their work alongside other doctoral students and a panel of experts. Submissions should include a description of work done, intended future work, alongside a specific research question or challenge that you would like to be discussed at the colloquium. Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 2014 program committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research domains. Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted. The acceptance rate was around 30% for Pervasive Health 2011, 2012 and 2013. All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library (pending). Authors will also be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library (pending). Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more.
