These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanis! ms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (2 days left)
by Valeria Loscri 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: May 1, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.

Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal: Special Issue on QoE (deadline April 30)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

-------------------------------------------------------------- Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal Special Issue on QoE in 2D/3D Video Systems -------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of purpose of this special issue It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new multi-modal media necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived multimedia quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality of Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging multimedia services (e.g. immersive multimedia, multimodal applications) over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g. IPTV/HDTV/UHD/3DTV, video call, 3D smartphone, etc). However, controlling the QoE of these applications is difficult not only because of their high data rate. The combination of multiple media in a single application (multimodality) and the need to keep multiple media in synch across multiple parties means that the problem of capturing and controlling QoE becomes multi-dimensional and cannot be addressed through existing methods. Open questions that will be addressed include for instance: - How can we equalize the QoE perceived by different users in multimodal, immersive and multiparty applications? - How will it be possible to engineer a closed-loop, QoE management framework where the QoS-to-QoE mapping models are sufficiently accurate and stable? - How should data, media, network, control and application planes be orchestrated to maximize QoE / minimize resource consumption? - How can 2D (SVC, HEVC etc) and 3D Coding (MVC, MPEG Part C, etc) affect QoE? With reference to 2D/3D video, research topics of interest include but are not limited to: - QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, online versus offline) - QoE Modeling and QoE-QoS Mapping - KPI and KQI for the QoE definition - QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies - Subjective evaluation methodology for 3D/multiview/free-view video, graphics, and augmented and mixed reality - QoE Methodologies for 3D - QoE for novel applications (immersive media, multimodal applications etc) - Standardization activities for QoE - New databases and validation (especially for 3D signals) Schedule: Manuscript submission: April 30, 2013 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2013 Publication: November 2013 Guest Editors Prof. Tasos Dagiuklas, Hellenic Open University, Greece Email: dagiuklas(a)eap.gr Prof. Luigi Atzori University of Cagliari, Italy Email: l.atzori(a)diee.unica.it Dr. Periklis Chatzimisios Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Email: pchatzimisios(a)ieee.org Prof. Chang Wen Chen University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA Email: chencw(a)buffalo.edu Prof Lin Weisi Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Email: WSLIN(a)ntu.edu.sg

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers, The 13th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) Datum: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:04:13 -0400 Von: Jelena Misic <jmisic(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> WLNs Phase Shift in Next Generation Networks Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) play a key role in a plethora of domains. >From smart phones to smart cities, applications spanning our engaging planet boost the impact of IT on our daily lives. WLNs present many unique and dynamic challenges, yet their utilization is on a rapid rise. As a technology, the combination of relatively low costs and ease of deploy-ment has led many communities to rely on local wireless infrastructures. Those encompass-ing the Internet of Things (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks, Clouds of Sensing (CoS), and Software Defined Networks (SDNs), which form a significant evolution towards Next Generation Networks (NGNs) in its global scope. However, the rapid pace of their deployment and utilization have rarely adequately addressed up front caveats; includ-ing planning and ongoing support requirements. This can manifest in degraded levels of service and significant sustainability exposures, dramatically increasing failure rates of user adoption and seamless usage. In its 13th year, the WLN workshop will focus on how such wireless networks can be resilient, while maintaining the promised high levels of service quality in NGNs. We consider design and implementation dimensions in WLNs that will ena-ble change phase towards NGNs and demonstrate added utility in providing sustainable global communication networks. WLN this year will feature multiple special sessions with the following list of non-exclusive topics of interest: 1 . RFID networks in the IoT.  Planning of RFID networks.  RFID scalable anti-collision protocols.  Localization of RFID-tagged objects.  2. Software Defined Networks (SDN) in Dynamically Changing Environments.  Integration and coexistence issues towards NGNs.  New paradigms like Information Centric Networks (ICN) and their relation with SDN.  Practical experiments on SDN based testbeds. 3. QoS constrained Clouds of sensors over WLNs: Do they scale?  Wireless multihop networks, including mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks.  Locally distributed sensor networks towards a global CoS.  Protocol design, including cross-layer and opportunistic approaches. 4. Resource management in M2M communications.  Resource management functionalities (CAC, reservation, scheduling, etc.)  Cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum assignments.  Performance evaluation, including analytical and simulation approaches. Important Dates Paper Submission May 12th, 2013 Notification of acceptance June 30th, 2013 Camera-ready copy due July 30th, 2013 Submission Guidelines We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published or currently under review.

Fwd: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science
by Lars Wolf 25 Apr '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Mirco Musolesi <m.musolesi(a)cs.bham.ac.uk> Gesendet: Wed Apr 24 21:46:37 MESZ 2013 An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Colocated with ACM UbiComp'13 Zurich, Switzerland 9 September 2013 http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/MCSS2013/ *Scope of the Workshop* For decades, behavioral and social scientists have strived to understand the complex combination of factors that influence the decisions, activities and interactions of people in everyday life. Through conventional approaches, such as self-reports and controlled laboratory studies, considerable progress has been made. However, these methods have fundamental limitations in their ability to unobtrusively collect fine-grain behavioral data in natural settings.Recent advances in mobile sensing technology are promising to overcome these obstacles by delivering radically different tools for in-situ human behavior monitoring able to operate at much larger scales than previously thought possible. Today, mobile sensing platforms – primarily, mobile phones – are causing behavioral and social scientists to completely rethink how they study people in real-world environments. A variety of factors have combined to put mobile phones in this position. First, mobile phones are ubiquitous: there are billions of mobile phone users and the market continues to grow worldwide. Second, mobile phones are unobtrusive: due to their ubiquity, users are not consciously aware of the presence of mobile phones, unlike purpose-built devices that depend on user self-reports. Third, mobile phones are powerful and sensor rich platforms: today’s phones have many embedded sensors (e.g., accelerometer, Bluetooth, GPS, and magnetometer) that can accurately capture user behavior; they are also equipped with powerful processors, which allow applications to exploit computationally intensive algorithms to run locally on the phones. Finally, due to their proliferation, mobile phones systems can scale: experiments based on mobile applications can potentially reach millions of people. Before we can fully leverage the potential of mobile phone sensing systems, a variety of open problems must be addressed. For example, because mobile phones are energy constrained, efficient algorithms able to make accurate behavioral inferences from sensor data (with cloud resources exploited when needed) must be developed. Similarly, fundamental challenges remain in the management of personal data and the understanding of real-time processing of sensor workloads. If these technical challenges can be overcome mobile systems will represent a key building block for the emerging discipline of computational social science. The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers either active, or interested, in mobile systems for social analysis and applications. We anticipate a lively forum to discuss recent advances in the design, implementation and evaluation of this new class of mobile systems. The workshop will be open to contributions from researchers from various domains who tackle these challenging research problems using their own unique perspective. The aim is to discuss the many open issues in this area towards identifying novel solutions to be investigated – in addition to fostering collaborations among the workshop participants. We will especially welcome highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking or confirming existing system design methodology, for example by means of new experimental results. We will invite to submit papers in the following areas: - Design, implementation and evaluation of mobile systems for computational social science; - Experiment design of social and behavioural experiments using mobile technologies; - Design and implementation of algorithms for mobile system applications; - Architectural issues, including middleware and operating systems support for social applications; - Integration of mobile technologies and cloud computing for social applications; - Energy efficiency issues in designing socially-aware mobile systems; - Mobile social sensing systems; - Implementation of mobile technologies for psychological and health interventions; - Integration of mobile and Web technologies for behavioral intervention; - Deployment and testing of mobile systems for social analysis and applications; - Data collection, anonomyzation and storage of social and behavioral data collected by means of mobile systems; - Privacy issues related to the design of socially-aware systems. *Submission format* Page length is up to 6 pages (10pt ACM format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not be anonymized. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through EasyChair.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:25:48 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd CfP: Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (CoSDEO@Ubicomp); DL: 01.05.2013 Datum: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:43:43 +0200 Von: announce(a)teco.edu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS for the Fourth CoSDEO Workshop Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/) in conjunction with 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/) in Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-12, 2013 ================================================ The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based recognition of contexts. Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio receives a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. Radio signals are inherently noisy and signal changes depend on a variety of environmental and sensor-specific factors. It is therefore the goal of CosDEO 4th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific standards; providing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context recognition systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design aspects of device-free radio-based recognition systems - General experimental work and field studies on device-free radio-based recognition - Models/algorithms for recognizing contexts using device-free radio-based sensors - Reports on the evaluation of device-free radio-based recognition systems - Investigations directed at signal processing, recognition robustness, signal sampling, etc. for device-free radio-based recognition - Investigations directed at feasibility of recognizing novel classes using radio frequency signal analysis - System architectures for device-free radio-based recognition - Monitoring of attention levels by device-free radio-based sensing systems - Algorithms/methods enabling device-free sensing using existing and novel radio hardware Paper submission deadline: May 1st, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2013 Final paper submission: June 20th, 2013 Workshop: September 9th, 2013 Organization Committee: General program chairs Markus Scholz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany Stephan Sigg, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Moustafa Youssef, Wireless Research Center, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST)

Such combined sensing opens up the possibilities for exciting new applications in a variety of urban spaces, both outdoors (e.g., crowd coordination in theme parks, public safety monitoring in major public events, public health management) and indoors (e.g., healthcare, intelligent retail in shopping malls & energy-efficient building operations). Driven by these trends, this workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working on urban and crowd-driven sensing. We invite original research work focusing on large or innovative crowdsensing architectures, systems and platforms and their experiences on developing crowdsensing applications impacting urban lifestyles in a variety of areas. The workshop especially solicits early/upcoming research ideas, where interactions may provide authors with valuable early feedback. The topics of interests broadly include, but are not limited to: Data sourcing and aggregation: o Innovative use of the sensors to capture real world phenomenon o Energy efficient sensing o Utility oriented sensing o Data modeling and aggregation o Incentive models o Privacy concerns System or Platform Architecture o Data processing and analysis o Contextual/Semantic interpretation of sensor data o Security models o Real-time stream computing and cloud-based platforms o Crowdsensing middleware platforms Applications o Innovative applications impacting urban lives o User interface for crowdsensing applications o Case studies around applying crowdsensing to a particular domain, such as retail, healthcare (mHealth), transportation, governance, etc. o Tools, technologies and programming abstractions for developing crowdsensing applications o Cross leveraging social networks for effective crowdsensing Submission Guidelines ·Authors are invited to submit Full Technical Papers with maximum 8 pages or Short Position Papers, mainly “work in progress” with maximum 4pages ·They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee ·Submissions must follow the ACM formatting guidelines that can be found at: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/calls/templates.php ·Detailed submission instruction can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/pucaaworkshop2013/submission Accepted papers would be published in the ACM Digital Library and Ubicomp 2013 supplemental proceedings. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Organizing Committee : General Chairs: Mani Srivastava, UCLA Archan Misra, SMU TPC Chairs: Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research Nilanjan Banerjee, IBM Research Publicity Chair: Sumit Mittal, IBM Research Steering Committee Chair: Dipanjan Chakraborty, IBM Research _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.
