Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. ____ The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients.____ While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals.____ This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. SCOPE ===== Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: - Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management - Quality of services (QoS) delivery - Seamless Mobility - Robust and scalable routing protocols - MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover - Self-configuration and synchronization - Security - Topology control and management - Mobility models and location management - Cross-layer design and interactions - Cohabitation of wireless protocols - Software-defined radios - Modeling and performance evaluation - Algorithms for localization and signal processing - Implementation testbeds - Operating systems and middleware - Energy-efficient protocols PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION _____________________________________________ All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted).

Indeed, autonomous applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have rapidly expanded from classical ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the control of a given system in a centralized manner Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future networks within the so-called sky of clouds and Internet of things. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Smart communications for Cloud Computing and Internet of things - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks - Virtual networks and distributed Agent Platform - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE -------------------- The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> schrieb: CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Social Connections in the Urban Space 2011 (SocialUrb-2011) in conjunction with IEEE SOCIALCOM 2011, MIT, USA, October 9-11, 2011 http://di.ncl.ac.uk/socialurb2011/ Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: 1 July 2011 Author Notification: 12 August 2011 Final Manuscript: 22 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9-11 October 2011 Background and Motivation ------------------------- Significant amounts of data are collected in the urban space we move and live in. Most of this data is gathered by governmental and defence agencies. Satellites are used to capture movement and transport while 'dataveillance' captures people's use of credit card, mobile phone, and loyalty card information. CCTVs are also ubiquitous. More recently, applications to gather data using people's mobile phones as a sensor in the urban space have appeared and contribute to this pool of urban data. This unprecedented bottom-up approach achieves collaborative collection of large quantities of data. 'Participatory Urbanism' sees a shift in mobile device usage - from communication tool to networked mobile personal measurement instrument. Through this, individual citizens can become more proactive in their involvement with their city, neighborhood, and urban self-reflexivity. Given this growing pool of data of the urban space, there is a question on how the data can be used fruitfully and sensibly to better understand sociality and to inform future planning of our urban environment. Objectives ---------- This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and explore research challenges and opportunities in social computing in urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban social life and exploit the sensory data as well as digital traces (e.g. mobile phone data, online social network data, transportation traces) to create novel urban social applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. The SocialUrb-2011 Workshop fosters discussions covering topics such as (but not limited to): * Analysis of social networks in urban spaces * Social computing applications for urban planning and design * Social sensing methodology * Computational social study of urban spaces * Mining of data collected from urban social networks * Urban social geography * Multi-source urban social information integration * Real-time urban social information processing * Case studies and applications of mixed urban social sensing and mining * Middleware for mobile urban social computing * City-related knowledge infrastructure and computational models * Urban social application demos and visualizations * Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban social computing * Impact of social computing technologies in the urban space e.g. economical, psychological. Submission ---------- Submission must be in IEEE conference paper style with no more than 6 pages in PDF file (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submit your paper(s) at the SocialUrb-2011 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=socialurb2011). All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation by the Technical Program Committee. Should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work in order for the paper to be published by IEEE and included in the IEEE Digital Library.

Fwd: [Tccc] Workshop in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Public Safety Systems

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Workshop in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Public Safety Systems Datum: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:23:31 +0200 Von: Daniel Camara <Daniel.Camara(a)eurecom.fr> Organisation: Eurecom An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks for Public Safety Systems (WMAPS'2011) Co-located with IEEE MASS 2011 The 8th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems October 21, 2011 Valencia, Spain http://www.hnps.eu/mass2011.html Scope: Public Safety Networks (PSNs) are the communications networks that are established by the relevant authorities to either prepare the population for an imminent catastrophe, or to support communication during the actual crisis and post crisis normalisation phases. These PSNs have special requirements, when compared to regular networks. The main concerns in establishing public safety networks are their facility to be deployed rapidly and their survivability. Other important characteristics of this kind of network is that their requirements may change radically, depending on the nature of the particular disaster. These networks are always mission critical and once deployed, PSNs have to be reliable since lives may depend on them. Recent global disasters have dramatically demonstrated that network structures can be severely affected, either directly by the disaster itself (where the existing infrastructure is damaged or destroyed) or by the following public reaction (overloaded networks caused by the need to communicate with friends and family). “Historically, major disasters are the most intense generators of telecommunications traffic”. For these reasons, the regular public networks alone are often not enough to support rescue and relief operations on their own. In addition to the stated problems of equipment failures and lack of connectivity, it must be understood that various different communication technologies are currently used for public safety communication, and it is common to find that each first responder group favours their own preferred technology. For example, TETRA, Analogue Radio Networks or GSM are used for voice communication, while data transmission for localisation, sensor information transfer and video streaming are currently not widely used in public safety. Local public safety agencies also have to communicate more and more with complimentary agencies such as other first responders, law enforcement groups, hospitals and even military authorities. As a direct consequence of the differing technologies in use at the same time PSNs are often not interoperable, which may represent a problem in the case of a catastrophe. Unfortunately existing communications networks are not always reliable during incidents or dangerous interventions. The deployment of new, ad hoc, dedicated, networks for Public Safety has been a long held dream, but technical, cost and management concerns create real problems. Finally, the scope of possible sensor use in PSNs is broad; it can include intrusion detection, where one can use different types of sensors to recognise potential hazard situations (e.g. by means of the detection and tracking of abnormal behaviours using Computer Vision-based techniques), to the integration of different technologies used by the intervention teams in the advent of a catastrophe. Sensors can also be used during and after incidents to measure the physical environment and report from a distance in areas that are too dangerous for direct human monitoring. Topics: Specific topics include, but are not limited to the ones listed below: - Ad hoc communication for emergency management - Sensor networks for Public safety networks - Usability issues for intervention teams - Intrusion detection - Heterogeneous networks integration - Mobility patterns for catastrophe scenarios - Network security for Public safety networks - Cooperative networks in Public Safety - Self-awareness , QoS and Adaptivity - Related demos and field trials Paper Submission Guidelines: Please follow the instruction of MASS conference (http://mass2011.upv.es/) Please follow this link to submit your papers: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10943 Proposals for demos should be at most 2 pages, and will not figure in the conference proceedings.

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. > Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. > There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. > > Scope of the submission > We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. > > - Architectural framework of personalized networks > - Personalized network applications > - Personal communications in the next generation Internet > - Personalized networks for rural areas > - Context awareness > - Internet of (your) things technologies > - Resource, service and context discovery > - Self-organization and adaptation > - Addressing and routing > - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks > - Mobility of personalized networks > - Personalization of virtual resources > - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks > - Security, privacy and anonymity > - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use > - Dependability > - Application-driven communication substrates > - Personalized networks for group oriented networking > - New QoS concepts in personalized networks > - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices > - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources > - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks > - P2P paradigm in personalized networks > - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued > > Why should you participate in this workshop? > Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field.
