-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Wed Aug 14 10:28:57 MESZ 2013 An: conet2011school(a)sics.se, seniot(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch Betreff: Call for Posters and Demos: Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Call for Posters and Demos: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ===================================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with a focus on real-world experiments and deployments. Included are, nonetheless, new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit poster and demo abstracts (4 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size). Accepted abstracts will be included in the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE). Accepted abstracts will be indexed by all major digital libraries (e.g., ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar). All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Posters: Posters should demonstrate early work in areas of interest similar to those listed in the call for papers. Good posters describe exciting ideas for which some preliminary results are available. Authors can also include in their submission an appendix showing a thumbnail of the poster content. The submission of the thumbnail is not mandatory and can be included or not at sole discretion of the authors. Posters should be prepared for A0 paper and portrait orientation, show the same title as the abstract, and include names and affiliation of the authors. Demonstrations: Demonstrations should showcase innovative research and applications related to the calls for papers. The submission should include an appendix describing the intended setup of the proposed demo and its main requirements (e.g., power supply, space, etc.). The appendix should be removed for the final submissions. Submissions: Submissions will be handled through HotCRP at http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it/hotcrp-poster. Poster/Demo Co-Chairs: * Silvia Santini, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Thiemo Voigt, Uppsala University and SICS, Sweden Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: August 15, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 22, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September, 2013 Luca — Sent from Mailbox for iPad (Please excuse brevity and typos)

Commercial, government organizations, and individuals depend on the ability to automatically mine data from different types of sensor platforms (from large sensor networks to an individual's smartphone) in order to monitor, alert, learn from, and in some cases affect and control our surroundings. The research involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, including sensing systems, signal processing, machine learning and data mining, data management, and large-scale distributed systems - for both online as well as offline analysis. †In this workshop, co-located with AMC SenSys 2013, we will include state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of extracting knowledge, by mining data from sensor networks in large-scale settings. The goal of the workshop is to establish a new research community and a venue for researchers, practitioners, and academics to present their results in these disciplines. We expect this workshop to be a long-term, continued venue for this research community, and to also lead to the setup of appropriate special issues and journals. As part of this workshop, we will include both peer-reviewed and invited papers. All accepted papers will be included in the ACM digital library. Original contributions, previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another journal or conference, are solicited in relevant areas, including, but not limited to: 1. Mining data from large-scale sensor networks and smartphone sensing deployments a. Distributed, Parallel, and Scalable Mining Algorithms b. Multi-Modal Mining Algorithms c. Resource-Adaptive (power, network, compute) Mining d. Mining sparsely sampled, noisy, and untrustworthy data e. Mining big data collected from large-scale smartphone sensing deployments f.

2nd workshop on "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" (@AutoUI'2013)
by Andreas Riener 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 2nd workshop on "The Social Car" | | "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" | | | | Eindhoven, The Netherlands; October 27th, 2013 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2013 (http://www.auto-ui.org/13) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline (position papers): August 26th, 2013 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- Successful application of collective, socially inspired driving mecha- nisms requires to understand how socially-inspired cars/vehicles (i.e., driver-car pairs) could make use of their social habitus, composed from (past & present) driving behavior, social interactions with pedestrians, vehicles, infrastruc ture, etc. , and drivers' vital states when exposed to other road participants in live traffic. In response to this emerging research direction, the aim of this work- shop is to achieve a common understanding of the symbiosis between dri- vers, cars, and infrastructure from a global point of view (referred to as "collective driving"). In particular, this workshop is expected to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars, addressing questions such as who can communicate what, when, how, and why? ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * Incentive based optimizations * Improvements triggered by collective behavior * Relevant parameters to identify/describe social status or behavior of a car (incorporate the driver?) * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, e.g., traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Benefit assessment: why should cars (maybe drivers) disclose their 'social status', 'social relationships'? * Understanding the potentials of socially inspired C2C communication * Crowdsourcing * Driving as a "collaboration" with either passengers or an agent * Implementation of agents/robots for improving V2V communications * The subject of V2V communications (driver to driver, passenger to passenger, driver to passenger, driver to agent, or agent to agent?) * Authentication for in-vehicle social services * Privacy, safety, and/or security issues related to in-vehicle social services * Plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Cultural differences in in-vehicle social services * V2V communications as a personal broadcasting station (or system) * Other than V2V, including V2I (vehicle to infrastructure using road- side units) or V2B (vehicle to broadband cloud (network)) * Optimal protocols for social cars (802.11p, Wimax, NFC, Bluetooth,..)

MIT Presence: Special Issue on Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence... (deadline extended to Aug. 15)
by Andreas Riener 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

We apologize for any cross-postings. 2nd Call for Papers Special Issue of Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence in virtual, tele- presence, and automotive environments Submissions due: extended to August 15, 2013 ************************************************************************* This special issue focuses on the role of a special category of sensory cues in the sense of 'presence': subliminal and unaware sensory stimuli in Virtual Environments (VE). The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the impact, role, and adequacy of using unaware or below threshold information in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The impact of unaware/subliminal cues on user?s feelings, attitudes, and behavior. * Subliminal cues and the user?s sense of presence or immersion in VE. * Subliminal cues and improvement of a user?s performance in VE although it is generally accepted that such stimuli are weak. * Systematic approach to taxonomy (i.e., definition and terminology) of subliminal perception and other interchangeable or contrary terms, including implicit, supraliminal, priming, conscious, preconscious, unconscious, subconscious, below awareness, (etc.) in the context of VE/teleoperation systems or the automotive domain. * Philosophy or rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Ethical issues of application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation systems or vehicular interfaces. * Social interaction based on subliminal/unaware cues. * Socio-technical issues such as social acceptance, preference, privacy issues, security issues, and attitudes towards technologies that include cues which the user is unaware of. * Guidelines of the application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Case study of application of subliminal perception/cues/interfaces in VE, teleoperation, automotive applications, or augmented reality in general. * Subliminal cues and interfaces such as head-mounted displays, vibrotactile transducers, olfactory stimulation, brain-computer interfaces (BCI). * Domain-specific approach to subliminal perception (e.g., remote vehicles, driving simulator, aviation, robotics, or other teleopera- tion tasks). * Modalities: visual perception (flashing picture, video, text, etc.), auditory perception (compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds, etc.), haptic/tactile perception, olfactory, or fusion of those. * Evaluation and validation methodologies for the effects of subliminal information (qualitative, quantitative validations). * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception, strength/duration/frequency of subliminal interaction). * Subliminally delivered information and its relationship with other constructs - cognitive workload, perceived performance, situation awareness, emotions, etc. * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (age, gender, characteristics, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ ethnologic background, etc.). * Risk assessment of the use of subliminal interfaces and strategies to reduce its risk. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers will be selected based on scientific rigor, originality, novelty, and presentation quality. By submitting a paper to this special issue, the authors guarantee that their papers are not currently submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should conform to the journal submission guidelines available at <http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/pres>. - Submissions due: extended to August 15, 2013 - Publication expected for 2014 Guest Editors of the Special Issue ---------------------------------- - Andreas Riener, Dept. of Pervasive Computing, University of Linz, Austria; Phone: +43 732 2468 - 4473; Email: <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> - Myounghoon Jeon, Department of Cognitive & Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech, USA; Email: <mjeon(a)mtu.edu> - Miriam Reiner, Head of Technion Touch Lab, Gutwirth Building, Haifa, Israel; Email: <miriamr(a)tx.technion.ac.il> For detailed information visit: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/pres or http://www.pervasive.jku.at/MITPresence_Subliminal/

1st Call For Paper: e-Energy 2014. Deadline January 15th, 2014
by Jean-Marc PIERSON 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Preliminary Call for Papers: ACM e-Energy 2014 Cambridge, UK, June 11-13 2014 Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next-generation "smart" and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The fifth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Cambridge UK in June 2014, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: . Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings . Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems . Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy- efficient data centers . The impact of storage integration on the smart grid . Electric Vehicle monitoring and control . Distribution and transmission network control techniques . Microgrid and distributed generation management and control . Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources . Smart grid communication architectures and protocols . Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure . Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management . Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems . HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness . User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies . Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems . Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Two type of contributions are solicited: . Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. . Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Full submission details can be found at the conference website: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2014 Important Dates: . January 15, 2014: paper submission deadline . March 21, 2014: Author notification . April 7, 2014: Camera ready papers due .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE - Context-Aware Networking and Communications Datum: Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:58:56 +0200 Von: Igor Bisio <igor.bisio(a)unige.it> An: TCCC mailing list <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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). All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com, select "June 2014/Context-Aware Networking and Communications" from the drop-down menu), according to the following timetable: Submission Deadline: November 1, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2014 Publication Date: June, 2014 Guest Editors Jinsong Wu, Bell Laboratories, China, wujs(a)ieee.org Igor Bisio, University of Genoa, Italy, igor.bisio(a)unige.it Haibo Li, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, haiboli(a)kth.se Ekram Hossain, University ofManitoba, Canada, ekram(a)EE.UManitoba.CA Chris Gniady, University of Arizona, USA, gniady(a)cs.arizona.edu Massimo Valla, Telecom Italia S.p.A., Italy, massimo.valla(a)telecomitalia.it -- Igor Bisio - Ph.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers: ACM Trans. on Intelligent Systems and Technology (ACM TIST), Special Issue on Participatory Sensing and Crowd Intelligence (PS/CI) Datum: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 13:22:33 +0800 Von: Bin Guo <guobin.keio(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Call for papers* ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (ACM TIST) Special Issue on *Participatory Sensing and Crowd Intelligence (PS/CI)** *** http://tist.acm.org/CFPs/TIST-SI-PSCI.html Introduction *Participatory Sensing (PS)* is an emerging computing paradigm that tasks everyday mobile devices to form participatory sensor networks. It allows the increasing number of mobile phone users to share local knowledge acquired by their sensor-enhanced devices, e.g., to monitor pollution level or noise level, traffic condition, etc. Here, we make an extension to the original definition of sensing sources in participatory sensing, from mobile devices to any human life-loggers, such as sensor-equipped vehicles, smart cards, social network services (the so-called *virtual sensors*), and so on. The sensing data from volunteer contributors can be further analyzed and processed to form *Crowd Intelligence (CI)*, and leveraged in many areas such as environment monitoring, urban planning, emergency management, as well as public healthcare/safety. Numerous challenges are raised: How can people and devices be connected so that they act more intelligently than any individuals or devices have ever done before? How to accomplish the tasks unintentionally or with minimum user effort? How to extract crowd intelligence/knowledge from multimodal, low quality data contributed by volunteers? What are the incentive mechanisms to encourage human participation? How to protect human data privacy… This theme issue of ACM TIST (indexed by SCI-E and EI) provides the opportunity for researchers and product developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of PS/CI techniques and intelligent systems. Topics may include (but are not limited to): - AI techniques in PS/CI - Crowd Data Collection and Intelligent Task Allocation - Incentive Mechanisms for Human Participation - Data Processing and Crowd Intelligence Mining - Data Quality, Trust, and Privacy - Knowledge Modeling and Management in PS/CI - Intelligent applications supported by PS/CI (Smart City, Public Health, etc.) - Crowd Intelligence Systems - Intelligent User Interfaces for PS/CI - Evaluation Metrics and Empirical Studies of PS/CI *It should be noted that we welcome papers that are relevant to the above topics, but discourage papers that make contributions to only networking/sensor issues but do not contribute to topics of interest to TIST<http://tist.acm.org/charter.html>(e.g., topics on AI, intelligent systems). * Submissions Manuscripts should be submitted online: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tist(please select "Special Issue: Participatory Sensing and Crowd Intelligence" as the manuscript type).

Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, opportunistic networks etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. We particularly encourage the submissions spanning these areas of applications. The conference provides a wide spectrum of topics, covered in the following tracks: * Self-stabilization * Fault-tolerance and Dependability * Formal Methods and Distributed Systems * Ad-hoc, Sensors, Mobile Agents and Robot Networks * P2P, Social, Self-organizing, Autonomic and Opportunistic Networks IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Submission: July 15, 2013 * Paper Submission: July 17, 2013 * Notification: August 25, 2013 * Camera Ready Submission: August 31, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be prepared using the LNCS style and be electronically submitted in PDF format using EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss2013). Two types of papers can be submitted: Regular Papers and Brief Announcements. Submissions for regular papers should be no longer than 15 pages (including the title, authors, abstract, figures, and references) in LNCS style; a submission may have an appendix of at most two pages beyond the 15 page limit. Brief announcements are restricted to two pages using the LNCS style, with no appendix. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. If requested by the authors, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for a brief announcement. This request must be clearly indicated in the first page of the paper. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular paper. A paper submitted at this forum is expected to be original research not previously published. Notice that papers that have been published as BAs in other conferences can be accepted. A submission may not be concurrently submitted to another conference, workshop, or journal. PUBLICATION The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Self-Computing (http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/jsc). BEST PAPER AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARDS The program committee will select two papers for best paper and best student paper awards. A paper is eligible for the best student paper award if at least one of its authors is a full-time student at the time of submission. This must be clearly indicated in the first page of the paper. CONFERENCE VENUE SSS 2013 will take place at Osaka Univesity Convention Center.
