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.

-------- 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).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Posters and Demos: 5th Int. Workshop on Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Datum: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:34:16 +0200 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)gmail.com> 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. 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

Currently, the IoT presents a strong focus of research with various initiatives working on the (re)design, application, and use of existing and new Internet technology for the IoT. Several significant challenges should be addressed to fulfil the IoT vision, including security and privacy. The Internet is already under continuous threats and the addition of many additional types of devices and interaction will open new security breaches so as to spark new malicious actions. Security and privacy management for the IoT remains a core challenge. The proposed workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from relevant fields to present and disseminate ongoing research for vision for the security and privacy models, protocols, algorithms, context-awareness for security, and devices that can be implemented in the Internet of Things and to relate these to ubiquitous computing. It aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and synergy, bridge gaps between the IoT and UbiComp research communities and related groups for mutual benefit, to help identify opportunities and challenges for interested researchers, system developers and innovators. It will cover topics at both theoretical and applied aspects in this multi-disciplinary research area. The workshop will be organised in a proactive and encompassing format, i.e., containing a mixture of invited talks, oral presentations and an open panel discussion. Workshop topics include but is not limited to (see also the full call): security and privacy for IoTs, Context awareness for Adaptive Security and Privacy, Identity Management, Privacy Management, Legislative Approaches to Privacy, User surveillance, Lightweight and Low Energy Cryptosystems, Protecting unattended devices, User-centred security, Privacy and Safety Management, Risk Analysis, Security Monitoring, Trust and governance models, Fault-tolerant IoT architectures, Adaptive Security and Privacy Models and their Evaluation. Audience: The workshop aims to attract researchers and practitioners from cross-disciplinary and relevant research communities involved in IoT security and privacy including those that work in next generation internets such as sensor networks, mobile device networks, distributed, mobile and autonomous systems and services, context-aware systems, distributed AI and HCI. For researchers this workshop opens up application opportunities and technological challenges. For solution developers and providers of specific application domain, this workshop provides an opportunity for them to convey their needs and requirements, and also obtain first-hand information on the latest advances in technologies, prototypes, and application exemplars. We encourage participation from both academia and industry with emphasis on technological innovation and practical applications. Publication & submission: All accepted workshop papers will be included in the ACM digital library and the supplemental proceedings.

At MUM academics and practitioners gather to discuss challenges and achievements from diverse perspectives, in a single-track conference format. This year’s conference aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences. In addition to the peer-reviewed accepted papers, the conference program will include keynote presentations, posters, demos, an industry track, pre-conference workshops and a doctoral consortium. Accepted full and short papers, industry track papers, demos and posters will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. *Full and Short Papers:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We welcome high quality full and short paper submissions that offer an original contribution relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Successful full paper submissions typically represent a significant advance for the field. Short papers offer a focused contribution to the research program. Short papers are not work in progress reports but offer completed, rigorously researched/developed work that makes a significant contribution to the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Short papers are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than full papers, but they are expected to make a solid contribution to the field. Paper topics could include, but are not limited to the following: * Mobile and ubiquitous multimedia applications and systems * Mobile user interfaces, interaction design and techniques * Mobile games, entertainment and advertising * Mobile social network and multimedia services * Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services * Mobile Augmented Reality systems and applications * Architectures, systems and algorithms tackling technical challenges of mobile systems * Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous multimedia * Tools and development systems for building mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems * Case studies, field trials and user experience evaluations of new applications and services * Social and privacy implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format (max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format), that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Papers should be grounded in existing mobile and ubiquitous multimedia literature and knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous multimedia audience. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission elsewhere. Papers must be anonymized (remove author and institutional identities, acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the paper's contribution to the field. Submitted PDFs must be no larger than 10 megabytes. Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video (max 20 megabytes) to accompany their paper and to demonstrate their system at the conference. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair (will be linked well in advance of the deadlines). Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process, managed by the Technical Program Chairs. The final camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. Accepted full and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings. *Industry Track Papers:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Industry Track is targeted towards practitioners and professionals working in the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Industry Track papers should show the application, commercial aspects and practical challenges in the areas listed in the call for papers for full and short papers. Of special interest are also real-world examples that illustrate, e.g.: experiences in deploying and running such systems, lessons learnt in developing such systems and differences between research and practice. The difference to the full and short papers in the scientific track is in the practical, rather than strictly scientific, nature of the submissions. We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format (max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format). Papers should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous multimedia audience. Papers must be anonymized (remove author and institutional identities, acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the paper's contribution. Submitted PDFs must be no larger than 10 megabytes. Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video (max 20 megabytes) to accompany their paper and to demonstrate their system at the conference. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair (will be linked well in advance of the deadlines). Accepted industry track papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Accepted contributions for Industry Track will have a presentation slot in the main conference. *We welcome you to submit to MUM 2013!* Sebastian Boring and Kristof van Laerhoven Technical Program Chairs of MUM 2013 Questions about this call can be directed to pcchair(a)mum2013.org <mailto:pcchair@mum2013.org> *Committee:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conference Chairs: * Matthias Kranz, Universität Passau, Germany * Kåre Synnes, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Technical Program Chairs: * Sebastian Boring, University of Copenhagen, Denmark * Kristof van Laerhoven, University of Technology Darmstadt, Germany Industry Track Chairs: * Karl Andersson, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden * Matthias Kranz, Universität Passau, Germany Demonstration & Poster Chairs: * Nicolai Marquardt, University of Calgary, Canada * Jonna Häkkilä, University of Oulu, Finland * Andreas Möller, Technische Universität München, Germany Publicity Chairs: * Florian Alt, University of Stuttgart, Germany * Ulf Blanke, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Local Arrangement Chairs: * Karl Andersson, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden * Kåre Synnes, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Web Chairs: * Sebastian Boring, University of Copenhagen, Denmark * Kåre Synnes, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden
