URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ Subject of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which makes it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time, the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in the emergence of Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders, whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but he might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging paradigm that transmits events captured by low-end machines such as sensors and smart meters, to high-end applications that translate the captured events into meaningful information. Data generally flows from a machine over a wired, wireless, or hybrid network and then through a gateway to a system where it can be automatically reviewed and actions may be taken without any interaction from an operator. M2M is used in a wide range of applications such as remote e-healthcare, smart homes, utility management, and industrial automation. Connecting different WSNs/part of a WSN is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance, where an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as connectivity issues in WSNs. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Connectivity, deployment, and relocation issues in WSNs - Interconnection/Integration of WSN and RFID - M2M communications - IPv6/6LoWPAN in WSN - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - Interconnecting WSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Security issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Fault-tolerance and dependability for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Quality of Service (QoS) issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Network, transport, and middleware protocols for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Location, synchronization and time services for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guidelines and policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

CFP: PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 09 Mar '12

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies) Additional information about this workshop: **** Together with four other workshops, PWSN will take place in conjunction with DCOSS2012 and have two great common workshop keynotes by Professors Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada and Sajal Das, University of Texas. **** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2012/ May 18 2012, Hangzhou, China In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

Authors should contact the program chairs (imc12(a)cs.ucsd.edu) if they are unsure whether their work is in scope. Review process and criteria * IMC 2012 invites two forms of submissions * Full papers (up to 14 pages) that describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. * Short papers (up to 6 pages for text and figures + up to 1 page for references) that convey work that is less mature but shows promise, articulate a high-level vision, describe challenging future directions, critique current measurement wisdom, or offer results that do not merit a full submission. All submissions that are longer than what is allowed for a short paper will be evaluated as full papers. Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. We will consider full paper submissions that extend previously published short, preliminary papers (including IMC short papers) following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy (http://www.sigcomm.org/about/policies/frequently-asked-questions-faq). * Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all authors. In particular, authors must conform to acceptable use policies for domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information (PII) and etiquette for using shared measurement data. (See Allman and Paxson, IMC '07<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf>.) If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criterion for all submissions, and any violations---including ambiguous situations not well described---will be grounds for rejection * IMC 2012 will continue the "review summary" exercise from IMC 2011. Published versions of the papers will be accompanied by 1) almost-verbatim but anonymized reviews written by the reviewers, and 2) a short response by the authors to the reviews. For reference, see the IMC 2011 program, where review summaries appear towards the end of each paper. The main goal of this exercise is to make review process more transparent by making public the PC's rationale for accepting the paper, the main concerns of the reviewers, and the authors' response to those concerns. All accepted papers (both long and short) will be included in this process. This exercise does not have any bearing on the accept/reject decision on the paper, and it does not impact papers that are not accepted for publication. * IMC 2012 will bestow two awards (unlike previous years). One award will recognize the outstanding paper at the conference, and all accepted papers are eligible for it. The other award will recognize a paper that contributes a novel dataset to the community. To be eligible for this award, the authors must make their dataset publicly available (e.g., through CRAWDAD<http://crawdad.cs.dartmouth.edu/> for wireless data) by the time of camera ready submission. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=90>. Submission guidelines All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: * up to 14 pages for full papers, or up to 6 pages (+1 for references) for short papers * 10-point font for main text; font used in other places (e.g., figures) should be no smaller than 9 point * two-column format, with the size of each column being at most 9.25 x 3.33 inches and the space between columns being at least 0.33 inches * letter page size (11 x 8.5 inches) * include names and affiliations of all authors on the title page (no anonymization) Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without review. The sig-alternate-10pt.cls style<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> file satisfies the formatting requirements. Compile your source with options that produce letter page size.

Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V. 17. September 2012, Braunschweig http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/alg/wsn-iot-2012/ Bildeten bisher vornehmlich Server, PCs, Laptops und Mobiltelefone die Mehrheit der Internetteilnehmer, so werden in einem zukuenftigen Internet miniaturisierte eingebettete Systeme mit stark begrenzten Ressourcen dominieren. Ein Beispiel fuer solche Systeme sind drahtlose Sensornetze, die einmal in die Umgebung ausgebracht autonom eine applikationsspezifische Ueberwachungsaufgabe erfuellen (z.B. Erkennung von Brandherden in einem Waldgebiet). Urspruenglich als isolierte Netze konzipiert, werden drahtlose Sensornetze zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil eines zukuenftigen Internets gesehen. Durch Verlaengerung der Internetprotokolle in die Sensornetze und damit in die reale Welt hinein entsteht ein Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, IoT), in dem der Zustand sensorbestueckter Objekte, Personen und Orte in Echtzeit verfuegbar sind und mittels Aktoren sogar beeinflusst werden koennen. Eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Anwendungen koennen von der resultierenden Infrastruktur profitieren. Beispielsweise kann das Internet der Dinge im Bereich "Smart Cities" die Lebensqualitaet verbessern und den Verbrauch von Ressourcen reduzieren. Im Bereich des "Ambient Assisted Living" wird durch das Internet der Dinge ein altersgerechtes autonomen Leben zu Hause ermoeglicht. Die Integration drahtloser Sensoren und Aktoren ins Internet und die Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das Internet der Dinge ist hoch komplex, da hier zwei bisher weitgehend voneinander getrennte Welten aufeinandertreffen: des Internet auf der einen Seite und eingebettete Systeme auf der anderen Seite. Es muss also eine Bruecke zwischen den grundlegend verschiedenen Entwurfs- und Entwicklungsmethoden, Protokollen, aber auch Werkzeugen in beiden Welten geschlagen werden. Wichtige Aspekte sind daher die Entwicklung neuartiger uebergreifender Konzepte, Methoden, Algorithmen und Softwareinfrastrukturen zur Integration eingebetteter Systeme ins Internet und zur Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das resultierende Internet der Dinge. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops sollen diese Themen in einem interdisziplinaeren Kreis diskutiert werden. Dazu zaehlen explizit sowohl praktische als auch algorithmische Aspekte. Themen - Wireless Sensor Networks - Internet of Things (IoT) - Systems of Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems - Integration mit dem (Future) Internet; IPv6 und 6LoWPAN - Integration mit dem Semantic Web - Services und CoAP - Anwendungsentwicklung - Algorithmen fuer verteilte und eingebettete Systeme - Algorithmen fuer geometrische Netze - Samart Cities - Experimental Facilities Termine - Einreichung der Beitraege: 15. April 2012 - Benachrichtung der Autoren: 6. Mai 2012 - Endgueltige Version: 31. Mai 2012 - Workshop 17. September 2012 Richtlinien fuer die Einreichung Autoren werden gebeten, bisher unveroeffentlichte Beitraege aus Wissenschaft und Forschung ueber EasyChair einzureichen. Jede Einreichung wird unabhaengig durch Mitglieder des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Mindestens ein Autor eines angenommenen Beitrags muss sich fuer die GI-Jahrestagung INFORMATIK 2012 registrieren, im Workshop anwesend sein und den Beitrag praesentieren. Die Beitraege werden in einem Tagungsband in der GI-Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics" und in Open-Access-Form erscheinen. Verwenden Sie daher bitte die LNI-Formatvorlagen der GI (Word oder LaTeX). Ihr Beitrag soll 10 Seiten nicht ueberschreiten. Beitraege koennen sowohl in englischer als auch deutscher Sprache verfasst sein. Sie koennen als PDF-Datei bis zum 15.

To meet these new requirements, there have been extensive R&D activities in the academia, industry, and government agencies around the world. Notably, in future digital cities and their connected vehicles with on-board computation, sensing and storage capabilities, the paradigm will shift from vehicles being consumer of the network to vehicles being actor of the network. Accordingly, there is a need for innovative solutions in the interdisciplinary approaches involving vehicular communications, sensing, and computing. The VCSC workshop aims to cover all related topics of intra/inter-vehicular communications, sensing on the road, and computing to support safer and more efficient driving. The component technology includes reliable and scalable system architecture, interworking with the existing network infrastructure, fusion of local and remote sensing data, new antenna and physical-layer technologies, information dissemination in vehicular networks, privacy and security, and cloud computing to realize these applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular sensors networks and sensing technologies - System architecture for emerging vehicular applications - Drive-through Internet - New physical layer technologies - MAC and routing protocols for vehicular communications - Antenna technologies (SISO, MIMO) - Intra-vehicular technologies (CAN, FlexRay) - Heterogeneous infrastructure planning - Security and privacy - Cognitive radio technologies for vehicular communications - Heterogeneous sensing data fusion for better perception - V2V and V2I content distribution - Vehicular cloud computing - Interaction between vehicles and mobile devices - Interaction between intra- and inter-vehicular devices - Green communication and networks - Prototype and field tests --- IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Due: March 31, 2012 Notification of Acceptance: May 04, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: May 18, 2012 --- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development.

Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: • Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology • Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets • Techniques for mobility data storage and processing • Knowledge discovery from mobility data • Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling • Planet-scale data collection infrastructures • Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection • Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale • Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection • Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. 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 and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

Authors are requested to register their paper by March 9, although they will be able to make their final submission until March 16. Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2012 Camera-ready version due: May 1, 2012 ================================================================================================== Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2012 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Ninth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2012) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically.

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, analyze, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Robustness, or the emergence of desired properties throught system evolution. In particular, emergence of safety; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express and assess evolvability; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

Overview Wireless connected robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these areas. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussions among the attendees.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM MobileHealth 2012: 8 days before deadline Datum: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:59:32 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (Last Call for Papers. Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) -- 2nd ACM International Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -- -- 8 days before deadline -- -- News: Final manuscripts length has been limited to 6 pages -- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------------- MobileHealth 2012 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2012/ The Second ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2012 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2012/ June 11-14, 2012. Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second edition of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina - USA on June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Mobile devices for healthcare - Wearable and Implantable Wireless sensors for healthcare - Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps - Protocols for wireless healthcare - Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps - Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Energy Efficiency in Wireless health monitoring - Pervasive Health Systems and Services - Authentication and Sensors' monitoring - Confidentiality and Data Security - Mobile Interfaces for Data Visualization - Realizations and Platforms - Standards for mobile healthcare Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted regular papers must be up to 6 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X 11 inches) and short papers up to 4 pages including text, figures and references. It should be in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Further submission instructions could be found on the workshop web site.
