-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication & Healthcare Mobihealth 2012: submission deadline 15 July 2012 Datum: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:53:00 +0200 Von: Justina <justina.senkus(a)eai.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ============================================================================ 3rd International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication & Healthcare - Mobihealth 2012 21st and 23rd November … [View More]2012 Paris, France http://mobihealth.name/show/home ============================================================================ HIGHLIGHTS - Keynote Speakers: Mr. Alain Ripart, Sorin Group, Mrs. Anne Monnier, ASIP Santé; Mr. Jean Schwoerer, Orange - Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more. - All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries - The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation (www.eai.eu), a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT CALL FOR PAPERS [Scope] The third edition of MobiHealth proposes to continue and extend the focus areas of the first two. The essence of the conference lies in its interdisciplinary nature, with original contributions cutting across boundaries but all within the ambit of the application of mobile communications (technologies, standards, solutions, methodologies) to the betterment of human health. As such, the conference will have a multi-tier approach: going from in-body sensor devices to ubiquitous patient monitoring environments. [Topics] The main themes will include (but are not limited to): - Advances in sensor devices for biomedical monitoring; - Intra-body communication issues (propagation & transmission); - Body Area networks (architectures, protocols, scheduling); - Heterogeneous and in-/on-/out- networks; - Wearable, outdoor and home-based applications; - Data collection and management at hubs, mobile devices and gateways; - Energy management and optimisation issues in biomedical devices and networks; - Decision support algorithms for data analysis; - Healthcare telemetry and telemedicine; - Remote diagnosis and patient management; - Accuracy, reliability, security, protection, identity, privacy, of diagnoses and data; - All-pervasive wireless systems for health applications; - Factoring in the environment (hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living) [Keynote addresses] Keynote addresses: Three keynotes will cover the varied interests of the participants. They will be given by leading experts from industry, standardization and public authorities: - "Electronics systems for biomedical" - "The present and future of body-area networks" - "Putting the patient at the centre of the process" [Workshops] Two workshops are proposed: - "Making the ambient environment count in the diagnostic process". Intelligent home space where the physical condition of the patient is gleamed from environment sensors (fall, humidity) rather than sensors that measure only physiological parameters of the patient. Advantage: Increased fidelity of the diagnosis; less intrusive and cumbersome elements. - "Combining in- on- and off-". This will deal with an important issue: the combination of several in-, on- and out-body sensors that make up a diagnosis platform. The two topics mentioned above could potentially attract researchers in several areas thanks to the multidisciplinary approach inherent to them: diagnosis, security, medical service platforms, medical database management, etc for the first; propagation in and around the human body, wireless communication, body area network management, etc for the second. [Tutorial] Tutorial: The special focus of this conference is "health for the poor". This is driven by the need to understand and explore how technology can become an enabling factor rather than a hindrance to the delivery of health services to these populations. Any viable e-Health or biomedical solution to this scenario has to satisfy the dual conditions of low cost and ease of utilization. [Publications] The Proceedings of Mobihealth 2012 will be published in LNICST, appear in SpringerLink and will be referenced in ICST's digital library, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus. See http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-1068921-0 for more information about indexing. [Special issue] Selected papers will be recommended for publication IEEE's Transactions on Biomedical Electronics journal. [Paper submission] Submission: Authors are invited to submit papers in the format defined by the Springer LNICST Authors' Kit. Regular papers and invited papers are allowed up to 8 pages including all figures, tables and references. Up to 2 extra pages may be included at an additional charge. Details on the submission: http://mobihealth.name/show/authors-kit.

These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life 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. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings.

In addition, authors of selected papers up to 5, including the author(s) of the best paper, will be invited to submit their extended versions of papers to either a special issue of Computers and Security (COSE) or IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC). SCOPE ----- The ongoing, rapid development in information technology has enabled significant opportunities for streamlining decision-making processes and maximizing productivity through distributed collaboration that facilitates unprecedented levels of sharing of computational and storage resources. Emerging collaborative environments need to provide efficient support for seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices, web services, grid/cloud computing, online social networks, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. Such heterogeneity introduces, however, significant security and privacy challenges for distributed collaboration. Balancing the competing goals of collaboration and security is difficult because interaction in collaborative systems is targeted towards making people, information, and resources available to all who need it whereas information security seeks to ensure the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of these elements while providing them only to those with proper trustworthiness. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the security and privacy challenges faced by the current and future collaborative systems and infrastructures. We solicit unpublished research papers that address theoretical issues and practical implementations/experiences related to security and privacy solutions for collaborative systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Secure dynamic coalition environments - Privacy control in collaborative environments - Secure workflows for collaborative computing - Policy-based management of collaborative workspace - Secure middleware for large scale collaborative infrastructures - Security and privacy issues in mobile collaborative applications - Identity management for large scale collaborative infrastructures - Semantic web technologies for secure collaborative infrastructure - Trust models, trust negotiation/management for collaborative systems - Access control models and mechanisms for collaboration environments - Protection models and mechanisms for peer-to-peer collaborative environments - Delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative applications - Intrusion detection, recovery and survivability of collaborative systems/infrastructures - Security of web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications - Security and privacy challenges in cloud-based collaborative applications - Insider threats in collaborative systems IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: July 27, 2012 Acceptance Notification: August 24, 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: September 7, 2012 Workshop: October 14, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE -------------------- Research papers for TrustCol 2012 should be up to 8 pages in IEEE 2-column format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 Datum: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:41:04 -0600 Von: Mea Wang <meawang(a)ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile Computing and Vehicle … [View More]Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013 Advances in 3G, WiFi, and WiMax technologies have made mobile gadgets an increasingly popular means of Internet access. Deployment of 4G networks and releases of new smart phones and tablets will undoubtedly raise the demand for better signal coverage, faster transmission, and seamless adaptation. One emerging research direction is wireless access virtualization, in which a group of access points collaboratively provide the illusion of a single wide-coverage access point to simplify connection management on the client side. While enjoying the benefits of accessing information at any time from anywhere, data transmitted over the wireless medium are more susceptible to eavesdropping and packet sniffing. This raises the concerns for data authentication and privacy issues. These technical challenges are aggravated by the proliferation of various cloud services, social networking platforms, and smart connected vehicles. This symposium is devoted to covering original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel architectures, platforms, protocols, and applications in mobile computing and vehicle communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Novel applications, and services for mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Architectures, platforms, and test beds of mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Performance characterization of mobile computing platforms ● User interfaces and systems design for mobile applications ● Mobile and/or vehicle ad hoc networks and sensor networks ● Wireless channel and media access control protocols ● Wireless access virtualization ● Resource management for heterogeneous access networks ● Service integration and inter-networking ● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues ● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability issues ● Novel mobility schemes and analysis of existing solutions ● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 ● Cloud-assisted mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications ● Vehicular networking and communications for intelligent transportation system Submission Guidelines Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/author.htm Paper submission link for this symposium can be found at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/cfp.htm Important Dates Submission Deadline: July 5, 2012 Author Notification: Sept 20, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: Oct 20, 2012 Symposium Co-chairs Mea Wang, University of Calgary, Canada (meawang(a)ucalgary.ca) Xiaoqing Zhu, Cisco Systems Inc., USA (zhuxq(a)alumni.stanford.edu) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

Advances in hardware design and micro-fabrication have made it possible to potentially embed sensing and communication devices in every object, from banknotes to bicycles, leading to the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). It is expected that physical objects in the near future will create an unprecedented network of interconnected physical things able to communicate information about themselves and/or their surroundings and also capable of interacting with the physical environment where they operate. Key peculiarities of IoT are the extremely large number of devices and their capability of seamlessly communicating via the Internet Protocol, which is expected to make IoT technology pervasive. IoTech will tackle technical issues related to fundamental as well as applied research on Internet of Things. Our intention is being inclusive, gathering practitioners, implementors and researchers with differing backgrounds and expertise to foster technical discussion and collaborations among IoT technology. For this second edition we would like to emphasize two aspects: 1) on the one side, the ability to scavenge energy to facilitate a sustainable IoT; and 2) on the other side, the coexistence of different technologies in the IoT, e.g., (low-power) WiFi, IEEE 802.15.4 (and its many variants), LTE Femtocells as gateway access points, mixed wired and wireless network setups. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Energy efficient device architectures: emphasis will be given on novel hardware designs, especially exploiting or integrating systems for energy harvesting. * Energy driven network design: emphasis will be given to papers dealing with self-sufficient devices with energy harvesting capabilities. * Reference and concrete communication architectures for IoTs: emphasis will be given on the capability of scaling up to a large number of communicating devices. * Communication protocol suites for energy constrained devices: theoretical investigation, design, implementation and experimental validation. * Optimization and improvement of standard protocols for specific application domains, e.g., smart energy metering, for their usage within IoT domains. * Lightweight signal processing techniques for smart objects, e.g., distributed Source Coding, Compressive Sensing, Lossless and lossy compression, etc. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of research papers due: August 15, 2012 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2012 Camera-ready papers due: September 30, 2012 Workshop Date: October 11, 2012 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be submitted by using the EDAS conference management system ([3]http://edas.info/) through the following link: [4]http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12909. Conference language is English. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper, with all fonts embedded, using the IEEE conference proceedings format. Paper length is limited to six two-column pages, in a font no smaller than ten points. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE MASS Proceedings and will be archived in IEEE Xplore.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks"
by Lars Wolf 15 Jun '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks" Datum: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:40:02 +0200 Von: Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano <cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es> Antwort an: cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es Organisation: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =================================================================== Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail ===============================================… [View More]==================== IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks" Background Video is a major challenge for the future mobile Internet as it is foreseen to account for close to 64% of consumer mobile traffic by 2013. Already today, mobile network operators are suffering from the exploding number of subscribers accessing high-volume mobile data services, and this trend is expected to intensify even further in the near future. The enormous proliferation of multimedia-capable portable devices -- such as smart phones, tablets and laptops equipped with 3G and WLAN interfaces -- has increased the volume and variety of multimedia digital content and related services. A large portion of portable devices benefit today from cellular flat rates, offered by mobile operators as a response to the increasing usersâ demand for ubiquitous and seamless access to content. This demand is mainly caused by the exponential growth of the popularity of multimedia web based services, such as YouTube, Flickr and Facebook, which has ultimately created a large pool of mobile multimedia âconsumersâ. Moreover, user portable devices are typically equipped with integrated cameras, enabling people to create multimedia content in a simple way, and thus dramatically enlarging the population of multimedia "producers" as well. Current network infrastructures are not prepared to deal with this traffic increase. The mobile Internet was not designed with video requirements in mind and, as a consequence, its architecture is not tailored to efficiently handle a large volume of video traffic. Scope and Contributions The goal of this special issue is to share research efforts on the design, adaptation and enhancement of IP-based mobile network architectures aimed at providing efficient video traffic support. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Improvements to cellular network architectures (at core and/or access level) for better mobile video support. * Integration of heterogeneous radio technologies for mobile video transport. * Mobile content distribution networks. * Mobile P2P video transport. * Cross-layer optimizations for video traffic. * New mobility management paradigms adapted for video traffic (e.g., management of users mobility, handoff process enhancements, app-level mobility, distributed mobility schemes, multicast mobility, etc.). * Layer 2 specific video optimizations (e.g., 802.11aa, video specific scheduling for LTE, etc.). * Video-related standardization efforts in the relevant standardization bodies (IEEE, IETF and 3GPP). * QoS policies for video traffic. * Testbed, experiments, and real-world deployments focusing on video over mobile networks.
