-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 1st Workshop on Open Connectivity Services for Future Internet Datum: Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:05:00 +0200 Von: Ramón Agüero <ramon(a)tlmat.unican.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Collocated with the 4th MONAMI conference. Hamburg, Germany (23-26 September 2012) Sorry for multiple posting =============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS MONAMI 2012 OConS Workshop Workshop on Open Connectivity Services for the Future Internet 26 September 2012 Hamburg, Germany One of the consequences of the Future Internet is the need for better, yet more flexible, connectivity services. These need to adapt to both the requirements of the current applications, policies from the corresponding actors and stakeholders and corresponding networking context. The currently available alternatives are rather rigid and thus do not fulfill the aforementioned challenges and needs. The connectivity embraces various levels and layers, and can refer to either the access part of the network as well as the end-to-end paths which shall be established and managed. This problem is being analyzed in the context of the Scalable and Adaptive Internet Solutions (SAIL) project, in particular within the Open Connectivity Services workpackage, with a special emphasis on the relationship of connectivity with Information Centric Networking and Cloud Networking. This workshop considers, among others, the following aspects: - Architectures and frameworks to handle connectivity for the Future Internet - Testbeds and prototyping related activities - Security for connectivity services - Evaluation of connectivity services to be used over Wireless Mesh Networks and DTNs - Connectivity services for Information Centric Networking - Connectivity services for Cloud Computing Paper Submission We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting original research that has not been previously published, and is not currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should not exceed 10 pages in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) format. Full paper submission details are available at http://mon-ami.org/ All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member to ensure high quality and relevance to the topics of the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNICST series and then be included in major article indexing services. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: 15 July 2012 (firm deadline; no extensions will be given) Notification of Acceptance: 15 August 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: 21 August 2012 Workshop Date: 26 September 2012 Workshop Chairs Lucio Studer Ferreira, IST, Portugal Lucian Suciu, Orange Labs, France Steering Committee Ramon Aguero, University of Cantabria, Spain Pedro Aranda, Telefonica, Spain Luisa Caerio, IST, Portugal Sofiane Hassayoun, Institut Telecom, France Olivier Mehani, NICTA, Australia Avi Miron, Technion, Israel Susana Pérez, Tecnalia, Spain Simone Ruffino, Telecom Italia, Italy Peter Schoo, Fraunhofer, Germany Michael Soellner, Alcatel-Lucent, Germany Andreas Timm-Giel, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Mitglieder-info] 2nd CFP: ACM CoNEXT-2012 Workshop on Capacity Sharing
by Lars Wolf 03 Jul '12

Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> schrieb: [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] _____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop ------------------------- co-located with CoNEXT 2012, December 10, 2012, Nice, France. Internet data traffic continues to grow rapidly. The challenge that operators face, especially in the mobile Internet, is to support more subscribers with higher bandwidth demands. Therefore, operators need to seek for new technologies to efficiently utilize the available network resources, in particular, this concerns resource allocation and flow management. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. The higher rate of optical technology in access networks introduces the potential for capacity sharing problems to move closer to the core, while passive optical networks move sharing problems closer to the end-user (more like cable and radio access networks). Data centers typically employ yet another type of network with different characteristics -- and different tools for capacity sharing. Addressing this topic correctly is not trivial as there are different interests to consider: operators naturally want to be able exercise control on how the network is used, avoid service disruptions and account for network usage. Users are interested to use different applications and expect a certain level of service quality, consistent experience etc. Many applications today are provided by so-called over-the-top (OTT) providers -- in conjunction with web-services, smart-phone applications etc. These applications and the corresponding platforms are important drivers for innovation and sources of revenue -- although there is controversy over whether enough revenue is directed into capacity growth. Still, application providers are interested in their application working with sufficient quality. In addition, there is regulation that can impose additional requirements in some markets, such as availability requirements, network neutrality etc. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of transport protocols, system designers of fixed and mobile access networks, and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Capacity sharing in data centers for Cloud Computing * The interaction between capacity sharing mechanisms at different layers * Leveraging Software-Defined Networking for Capacity Sharing * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Related standardization activities and projects Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in 10pt, double column ACM SIGCOMM format.

Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Hybrid Intelligent Systems Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Maritime Navigation Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Multimedia Mobile Communication Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - To encourage more student submit papers, the "Student Registration Fee (333 USD) " will cover one paper presentation. Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is a promising technology to improve safety and security for all transport modes, to reduce traffic congestion, to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail maritime, fluvial) and support information services in vehicles with the general purpose of reducing the impact of transport on the environment. The development of sustainable mobility is a key challenge for the development of urban areas. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is already there in the public transport domain and this should be generalized. This era will be driven by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Safety- related applications are not only taken into consideration, but non-safety multimedia content providers are also becoming a new topic of research. Key players in the industry, such as automotive companies, public transport operators, railway industries and government agencies, are investing heavily in the advanced research and development of many ITS technologies and applications. This research effort primarily focuses on the system development and standardization of telematics. During recent ITS developments, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. These progresses are also really important in the public transport domain (buses, metro, trains, tramways) for which V2V and V2I for safety and non safety applications are a key component for the exploitation but also for reducing energy consumption. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Furthermore, all these applications require accurate and reliable positioning using GNSS solutions alone or enhanced with map-matching and sensors fusion. Technology and applications for ITS and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, intelligent engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private sector and the public sector to exchange new ideas. This conference aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), cooperative systems, information dissemination, road and rail safety, information and emergency services, etc. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for vehicular communication environments in all transport modes.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2012) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

Fwd: [Tccc] 3rd International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication & Healthcare Mobihealth 2012: submission deadline 15 July 2012
by Lars Wolf 27 Jun '12

-------- 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 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM CHANTS 2012 Demo Proposal - submission deadline July 1 2012 Datum: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:11:52 +0100 Von: Eiko Yoneki <eiko.yoneki(a)CL.CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Organisation: University of Cambridge An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call For Demo Proposal - 7th ACM Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2012) Co-located with ACM MobiCom August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE IMPORTANT DATES: - Demo Submission deadline: July 1, 2012 - Please submit title/authors (only register) of the demo proposal by June 27th 11:59pm PST. http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. 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.

October 14, 2012 http://scl.cs.nmt.edu/trustcol12/ ***********************************************************************/ NEW FOR TRUSTCOL2012 -------------------- A best paper award will be given to the best paper of the workshop. 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.
