by Andreas Riener 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

We apologize for any cross-postings. 2nd Call for Papers SPECIAL ISSUE OF PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING The Social Car: Socially-inspired Mechanisms for Future Mobility Services Submissions due: July 31, 2013 ************************************************************************* In the long tradition of driver-vehicle interaction, information systems have been socially ignorant ? they have not accounted for the fact that drivers? (humans?) emote all the time and decisions are always socially inspired. The next-generation automotive interfaces need to include the essence of social intelligence to become more effective and safer. Researchers have recently started to think about the topic of socially inspired cars and, in our comprehension, a broader discussion on the benefits and consequences of socializing cars is very likely to start in the near time. The central objective of this special issue is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars and the topic addressed by this special issue raises elementary questions including who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation. Potential topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to: * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, including traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Implementation of agents/robots for improving socially-inspired communication * The subject of social-inspired vehicle-to-vehicle communications * Network issues and protocols for social cars * Crowdsourcing concepts to improve transport (driving as a "collabo- ration" of different entities) * Authentication, privacy, safety, or security issues related to social car services * Relevant parameters to describe social status or behaviors of a driver or car and plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Potentials of socially inspired car-car communication and benefit assessment (why should cars or drivers disclose their social status or social relationships?) * Social norm in the automotive domain * Cultural differences evident in-vehicle social services * Polarization issues between supporters and opponents * Novel applications and services enabled by social cars * Case studies * Visionary perspectives Submission Guidelines --------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the "Guide for Authors" as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. - Submissions due: July 31, 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> - Ignacio Alvarez, IT Manager for Connected Drive & Innovations, BMW Group, Beijing, China; Email: <ignacioalvmar(a)gmail.com> - Franco Zambonelli, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy; Email: <franco.zambonelli(a)unimore.it> For detailed information visit: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/PMCSocialCar/ or http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/15741192

This is specifically due to constrained energy and computation capability, nondeterministic sensor failures, channel impairments, node mobility, hostile and distrusted environments, and even external attackers. In all these respects, wireless sensor networks exhibit substantial vulnerability when compared to other networks. It is challenging to design a robust wireless sensor network by devising novel algorithms or developing new theories whilst introducing minimal communication overhead and energy consumption. For example, sensor nodes are often deployed in outdoor or hazardous environments. Power outage of sensors can lead to node failure and cause many serious problems. Recently, an aggressive approach has been developed that wirelessly re-charges the sensor nodes to increase the robustness of the sensor networks. The charging tasks can be performed by single or multiple mobile machines. However, the algorithmic and theoretical issues in the wireless charging problem for WSNs were not fully explored. The main focus of this special issue is devoted to deeper understanding of the algorithms and theories which are developed to build up a robust wireless sensor network. Moreover, it is to push the theoretical and practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the fundamental algorithm, modeling, and analysis techniques of robust wireless sensor networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Algorithms and theories for wireless sensor networks related to robustness issues • Performance analysis of reliable protocols for wireless sensor networks • Robust routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks • Robust topology control techniques in wireless sensor networks • Robust coverage algorithms in wireless sensor networks • Robust MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks • Robust position estimation in wireless sensor networks • Duplicate data and resource optimization in mobile wireless networks • Wireless recharging strategies in mobile wireless sensor networks • Fault-tolerant clustering and cooperative strategies in wireless sensor networks • Robust boundary detection algorithms in wireless sensor networks Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/guideline.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Elsevier Computer Communications Special Issue on Internet of Things Datum: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 19:24:52 +0300 Von: Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Special Issue on "Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and Services for the Internet of Things" with Elsevier Computer Communications Scope The Internet of Things (IoT) started as a research topic more than a decade ago and evolved towards partial deployment in the last few years. It describes the integration of magnitudes of smart devices into the current Internet. Those devices challenge Internet architectures and protocols. They may exhibit very limited resources making the direct application of common approaches nearly impractical. On the other hand, they significantly increase heterogeneity, which complicates the extension of the status quo. The Internet of Things has continuously been discussed. Related compilations of contributions usually miss two important aspects. First, the analysis of IoT approaches that have been deployed or will be available soon in the current Internet. Analyzing those solutions may help to understand relevant aspects of a successful deployment and to identify common pitfalls while IoT approaches have been designed. Second, deployed protocols need a careful revisit. In contrast to well-established Internet protocols and architectures, IoT techniques are fresh and not fully developed on the same level. In addition, new network paradigms emerge, which need to be considered for a sustainable future IoT. In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a special focus on current and future deployment. They should contribute to at least one of the following aspects. (1) Identifying and solving open technical problems. (2) Performing thorough evaluation and comparison of existing proposals or standards. (3) Addressing integrative aspects towards a full-fledged IoT deployment. (4) Enabling new services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Wireless, wired, and hybrid networks - IETF proposals such as RPL and 6LoWPAN - Privacy and security - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Integration of future Internet paradigms such as ICN - Machine to Machine communications in IoT scenarios - Energy efficiency in smart object scenarios - IoT management and interoperability - Participatory and global sensing - Performance measurement and tuning, scalability - Simulation and analytical studies - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Schedule Submission deadline: September 15, 2013 Author notification: January 31, 2014 Revised paper due: March 15, 2014 Final author notification: April 15, 2014 Expected publication: Fall 2014 Guest Editors Matthias W‰hlisch Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany waehlisch(a)ieee.org Damla Turgut University of Central Forida, USA turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu Tom Pfeifer Technical University of Berlin, Germany t.pfeifer(a)computer.org Anura P. Jayasumana Colorado State University, USA Anura.Jayasumana(a)colostate.edu Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Datum: Mon, 3 Jun 2013 13:55:10 +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 Papers: 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! We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. 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 focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are, nontheless, 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 new 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 papers (12 pages, Springer format, 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. Submissions must be fully anonimized, as REALWSN will apply a double-blind review process. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes on Electrical Engineering series and 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 Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21st, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] CFP: Special Issue Elsevier Computer Communications & IoT Datum: Fri, 31 May 2013 16:11:16 +0200 Von: Antonio Jara <jara(a)um.es> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com Call for Papers Special Issue on "Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and Services for the Internet of Things" will be published in Elsevier Computer Communications Scope The Internet of Things (IoT) started as a research topic more than a decade ago and evolved towards partial deployment in the last few years. It describes the integration of magnitudes of smart devices into the current Internet. Those devices challenge Internet architectures and protocols. They may exhibit very limited resources making the direct application of common approaches nearly impractical. On the other hand, they significantly increase heterogeneity, which complicates the extension of the status quo. The Internet of Things has continuously been discussed. Related compilations of contributions usually miss two important aspects. First, the analysis of IoT approaches that have been deployed or will be available soon in the current Internet. Analyzing those solutions may help to understand relevant aspects of a successful deployment and to identify common pitfalls while IoT approaches have been designed. Second, deployed protocols need a careful revisit. In contrast to well-established Internet protocols and architectures, IoT techniques are fresh and not fully developed on the same level. In addition, new network paradigms emerge, which need to be considered for a sustainable future IoT. In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a special focus on current and future deployment. They should contribute to at least one of the following aspects. (1) Identifying and solving open technical problems. (2) Performing thorough evaluation and comparison of existing proposals or standards. (3) Addressing integrative aspects towards a full-fledged IoT deployment. (4) Enabling new services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Wireless, wired, and hybrid networks - IETF proposals such as RPL and 6LoWPAN - Privacy and security - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Integration of future Internet paradigms such as ICN - Machine to Machine communications in IoT scenarios - Energy efficiency in smart object scenarios - IoT management and interoperability - Participatory and global sensing - Performance measurement and tuning, scalability - Simulation and analytical studies - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Schedule Submission deadline: September 15, 2013 Author notification: January 31, 2014 Revised paper due: March 15, 2014 Final author notification: April 15, 2014 Expected publication: Fall 2014 Guest Editors Matthias Wählisch Freie Universität Berlin, Germany waehlisch(a)ieee.org <mailto:waehlisch@ieee.org> Damla Turgut University of Central Forida, USA turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu <mailto:turgut@eecs.ucf.edu> Tom Pfeifer Technical University of Berlin, Germany t.pfeifer(a)computer.org <mailto:t.pfeifer@computer.org> Anura P. Jayasumana Colorado State University, USA Anura.Jayasumana(a)colostate.edu <mailto:Anura.Jayasumana@colostate.edu> Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. -- Matthias Waehlisch .

Fwd: CFP: Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science
by Lars Wolf 28 May '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Datum: Tue, 28 May 2013 00:04:41 +0000 Von: Nic Lane <niclane(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Nic Lane <niclane(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Co-located 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 invite submit papers in the following areas: - Design, implementation and evaluation of mobile systems for computational social science; - Experiment design of social and behavioral 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, anonymization 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: CFP: ACM CHANTS 2013 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) - Deadline extended to June 4 Datum: Sun, 26 May 2013 17:27:20 +0100 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2013 - 8th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2013 September 30-October 4, Miami, Florida, USA www.acm-chants.org/13 ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks also find application in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. This workshop builds on the success of the seven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) • Opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use • Applications for challenged networks (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowd-sourcing, sensor networks) • Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network science methods for challenged networks • Mobile data offloading and content-centric approaches via challenged networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks • Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life • Mobile cloud solutions in challenged networks Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop, including a keynote speaker and a panel. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CoNext short paper deadline ADVANCED to June 14th. Datum: Fri, 24 May 2013 06:34:16 -0400 (EDT) Von: Sanjay G Rao <sanjay(a)ecn.purdue.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu As previously announced, the 9th edition of the ACM CoNext conference includes an explicit call for 6-page short papers, in addition to the normal 12 page full length papers. This email is to announce that the paper submission deadline for the short papers has been ADVANCED to June 14th, to coincide with the full paper submission deadline. The CoNext Organization Committee sincerely regrets any inconvenience this may cause to authors. However, this was necessitated by the need to avoid conflicts in submission dates with HotNets, an ACM Sigcomm sponsored workshop. Regardless of these teething problems, the Organization Committee believes the short paper track will greatly add to the vibrancy of ACM CoNext as it seeks to serve the needs of the research community. For more information, and the complete Call for Papers, please visit the conference web-site: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2013 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
