Multiple factors, including the large number of sensors on phones, proximity to user’s immediate environment, broadband connectivity, ability to use cloud resources to sense, mine, and learn human behaviors, and ability to provide personalized feedback, make the phone a compelling sensing platform. Example sensing application domains include personalized information delivery, context and location-aware services, healthcare, games, social networks, and entertainment, safety, and mobile business. The PhoneSense workshop promotes exchange of ideas among academic and industrial researchers in research areas such as sensing, mobile computing, energy efficiency, data management, data mining, machine learning, inference, privacy, incentive modeling, and user experience design. The focus is on hot topics, position papers, novel ideas, in-progress work, enabling technologies, and emerging applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Novel applications · Personal health monitoring using mobile phones · Incentive models for mobile data collection · Mobile cloud and sensing interfaces · Mining large-scale sensor and location data · Persuasion models and personalized feedback to users · Privacy · Participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, and opportunistic sensing · Activity recognition, subjective sensing, and machine learning · Programming models · Deployments and campaigns at scale · Integration of on-phone and off-phone sensing · Novel mobile sensor accessories · Geo-targeting and location-aware services · Data quality issues [Call for Papers in PDF: http://research.microsoft.com/phonesense2011/PhoneSenseCFP.pdf ] Program Chairs: Aman Kansal (Microsoft Research) Deepak Ganesan (UMass Amherst) Steering Committee Andrew Campbell (Dartmouth College) Deborah Estrin (UCLA) Jie Liu (Microsoft Research) Technical Program Committee: Prabal Dutta (UMichigan) Deborah Estrin (UCLA) Raghu Ganti (IBM) Santosh Kumar (UMemphis) Nicholas Lane (MSR Asia) Paul Lukowics (UPassau) Bhaskaran Raman (IIT B) Romit Roy Choudhury (Duke) Mani Srivastava (UCLA) Jun Yang (Nokia) Important Dates Paper Submission: July 25, 2011 Notification: September 12, 2011 For submission details, see the workshop website: http://research.microsoft.com/phonesense2011 ********************************************************* Call for papers and demos: ACM BuildSys 2011, in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2011 http://buildsys.org/2011 3rd ACM Workshop On Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings Seattle, WA - November 1, 2011 Important dates: * Paper and Demo subsmission deadline: July 30, 2011 * Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2011 * Camera Ready Due: September 15, 2011 * Workshop date: November 1, 2011 * Date of Demo session: TBD Technically co-sponsored by ACM[1]. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. *** New this year: Demo session! *** The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and surroundings and the generation of energy awareness. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a key role in enabling energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in existing as well as new structures and can be controlled via the Internet. In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage of diverse types of energy. We solicit both papers AND demos that focus on new techniques and technologies capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. We are particularly interested in contributions related to: * Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and other forms of media to convey relevant information to users; * Systems that can influence building occupant behaviour towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.; * Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial settings (e.g. data centres, HVAC, etc.) * Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an increase of production efficacy; * Model and simulate heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys; * Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines); * Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and energy distribution (electricity, gas, water); * Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy usage/production model and to predict future demands; Successful papers will clearly demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis of an energy problem. Papers should consider the entire energy system, including any effects on occupant behaviors, production efficiency, peak load and smart grid architectures, sustainability, pollutants, and total energy usage. Demo abstracts should describe both the technology being showcased as well as the user experience of the demo. Submissions must include a separate section for the demo script that specifically describes how users will interact with the demo. Accepted papers and demo abstracts will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be electronically published by ACM. For submission instructions please refer to the workshop website.

Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.DE> schrieb: Liebe Mitglieder der KuVS-Liste, anbei ein Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen für den Workshop MMVE 2011, interessant vor allem für alle, die sich mit interaktiven Mehrbenutzer-3D-Umgebungen beschäftigen. Der Workshop hat IEEE Proceedings, Einreichungsschluss ist der 30.Juni. Herzliche Grüße Gregor Schiele_____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2011) at the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Audio-Visual Environments and Games (HAVE 2011) October 14-17, 2011 Nanchang, JiangXi Province, China http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE11/___________________________________________… Massively Multiuser Virtual Environment (MMVE) systems are spatial simulations that provide real-time human interactions among thousands to millions of concurrent users. MMVEs have experienced phenomenal growth in recent years in the form of massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) such as World of Warcraft and Lineage, and social communities such as Second Life and Hobbo Hotel. The technical aspect of designing, developing, and deploying them is highly interdisciplinary and involves experts from many domains, including graphics, networking, protocol and architecture designs. The MMVE workshop intends to provide a forum for both academic researchers and industry developers to investigate the architectural and system support for MMVEs. By gathering experts under one roof, we wish to discuss their findings, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The workshop seeks to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in the field, and encourages discussions based on the presented papers to identify current and future research topics. Some key and emerging issues we would especially like to solicit are: 1. The integration with casual, social networking systems. Recently there has been a surge of casual social games on social networking sites such as Facebook, with tens of millions of active users. While many of them are not yet real-time in nature, providing massive real-time interactions may only be a matter of time. How will such systems emerge or be designed? Additionally, many 3D chatrooms / instant messengers are now appearing (e.g., IMVU, Club Cooee, Game Xiu). While most interactions are limited as room-based small-group interactions, the total concurrent users may also reach critical sizes given their casual nature (e.g., IMVU has already over 1 million active accounts). How should such systems be supported and scale? 2. The adoption of parallelism to increase scale. Fast GPU and multi-core processors are now becoming common commodity. How will this hardware trend impact MMVE server-cluster design? And how should P2P approaches for MMVE take advantage of the increased power at client-side? Additionally, home set-top boxes with large local storage and broadband Internet connections are becoming household commodities, how will this trend impact the ways MMVEs be delivered (perhaps via content streaming) or architected? 3. Interoperable MMVE standards and protocols. As the market for virtual world increases and matures, efforts to provide interoperable user experience across multiple virtual environments have also intensified. For example, initiatives are ongoing to form IETF working groups on defining virtual world standard protocols (e.g., MMOX and VWRAP ). Part of any standard process is the identification of common features and requirements. What are the common features and requirements in MMVE that may be modeled and abstracted to facilitate such standardization effort? And are there working protocols that already exist in current systems? We would like to invite such experience sharing and discussions. The workshop thus will address the following issues: 1. Scalability: the ability to handle at least thousands of concurrent users, interacting via Internet. 2. Interactivity: how to provide responsive, near real time interactions despite latency and jitter. 3. Consistency: providing consistent views for users, despite the inherent delay in state updates. 4. Persistency: the ability to save and access the world states despite disconnections and failures. 5. Security and privacy: distributed algorithms that allow secure interactions and privacy guarantees. 6. Interoperability: integration of multiple systems or providers with common protocols or clients. 7. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) devices: the integration of mobile devices for nomadic systems. 8. Self-organizing architectures: load balancing and fault tolerance without manual configurations. 9. Content streaming: voice communication and 3D content streaming. 10. Implementation issues: novel approaches to effectively manage the complexity of development. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely- related one.

The term smart objects in this case refer to everyday objects of all kinds and makes that are enhanced with computational intelligence and the capability to communicate with it other and online services. In many cases communication is based on wireless sensor networks integrated with an object, such as parts of a building, a logistic good, a vehicle or sensors in the environment. In other cases, communication is based on a hybrid approach with part of the network being infrastructure-based and the rest self-organized. Smart objects incorporate monitoring and control functions and need to communicate with each other and to gateways. They are an essential part of cyber-physical systems and can find multifaceted applications in fields such as logistics, smart buildings, intelligent transport, and smart city applications such as traffic management. These smart objects will play a dominant role in the Future Internet. Managing such smart objects requires algorithms and approaches based, in part, on general approaches discussed in the MONAMI Conference. However, the workshop will go one step further and consider, in particular: * Energy-efficient, self-organized access and routing schemes for smart object systems * Testbeds and experimental evaluation of services based on smart objects * Service and application management platforms for a variety of applications, e.g. smart cities * Autonomic network monitoring and management for smart object networks * Future Internet Architectures with smart objects 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 Conference.

This results in a new paradigm on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications towards the Future Internet of Things (IoT). M2M communications offer a potential solution to the already saturated telecommunications market, with new services and applications, such as smart city, smart grid, intelligent transportation, e-healthcare, remote monitoring, and logistics. Such services and applications open a mass market and several business opportunities, whilst transforming the way communication systems are defined and operate. This requires development of novel solutions to efficiently serve a huge number of devices that interact autonomously at a global level. It also opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, cost-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, and security. Main Topics of Interest This workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers and practitioners both from academia and industry (universities, research centers, network operators, regulatory bodies, service providers), as well as end users, to present and debate advanced M2M communication systems, technologies, and applications, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, and IETF. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following topics related to M2M communication: - Scalable system architecture and components - Radio access technologies and protocols - Spectrum management for M2M - Resource management for energy-harvesting devices - Channel and traffic models - Internetworking protocols and mechanisms - Cloud support for M2M applications - Device management for M2M - Data and service management for M2M - Semantic technologies for M2M - Mobility management for M2M - Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Important Dates Paper Submission: 7 July 2011 Acceptance Notification: 15 August 2011 Camera-Ready: 31 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9 December 2011 Author Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal.

Submissions may be considered for a two-page brief announcement in case not accepted as a full text; authors who wish their paper to be considered for both full paper and brief announcement tracks should indicate this fact on the front page. TCS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE: As in previous years, selected high-quality papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal. SCOPE AND TOPICS: Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts, especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for abstract modeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computing and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges of great practical impact. ALGOSENSORS aims to bring together research contributions related to diverse algorithmic and complexity theoretic aspects of wireless sensor networks. Starting from 2011, ALGOSENSORS broadens its thematic scope, keeping its focus on sensor networks, but also including other related types of ad hoc wireless networks, such as mobile networks, radio networks and distributed systems of robots. Contributions solicited cover the algorithmic issues in a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - Wireless Network Models - Virtual Infrastructures - Data Propagation and Routing - Multicast and Broadcast - Obstacle Avoidance - Infrastructure Discovery - Ad-hoc Deployment/Topology Control - Fault Tolerance and Dependability - Multi-hop Throughput Optimization - Scheduling and Load Balancing - Energy Management and Power Saving Schemes - Dynamic Networks - Adaptiveness and Self-organization - Resource-efficient Distributed Computing - Communication Protocols - Medium Access Control - Localization and Location Tracking - Mobile Robotic Systems and Autonomous Agents - Game Theoretic Aspects - Cryptography, Security and Trust HOW TO SUBMIT: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original research in the topics related to the Symposium. The Track the paper is submitted to should be clearly identified at the front page. Authors should select a Track based on the type of network that is studied in the paper or for which the results in the paper are most relevant. The Program Committee reserves the right to move papers between Tracks in order to ensure a fair evaluation. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is not allowed. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages of text using at least 11 point size type, including references, figures, tables, etc., preferably formatted in the LNCS style. Additional material may be added in a clearly marked Appendix to be read at the discretion of the Program Committee Members. Authors must submit their papers electronically via the website: http://www.algosensors.org/algosensors11/submission.php. All papers will be peer reviewed, and comments will be provided to the authors. Authors need to ensure that for each accepted paper at least one author will attend the symposium. -- Thomas Erlebach (t.erlebach(a)mcs.le.ac.uk) Department of Computer Science, University of Leicester _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> schrieb: Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks SI Datum: Thu, 19 May 2011 09:16:56 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks special issue of EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Call for Papers One of the most researched directions in modern automotive industry is the design, development, and deployment of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that aim to improve road safety (including collision avoidance, traffic congestion information, and detection of, as well as alerting to, road conditions) whilst providing ample opportunities for commercial applications such as communication and mobile infotainment. Successful and widespread usage of VANETs necessitates the development of novel technologies that satisfy the requirements for high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving communications, both between vehicles and roadside units and amongst vehicles themselves, and thus presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. This is the main reason why VANETs are a very active area of research, development, standardization, and field trials throughout the world, in academia, industry, and government alike. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the e-Safety framework of the European Union, the IntelliDrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System), and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, and others. Standardization efforts include ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe, and ARIB T-75 in Japan. We propose this special issue that will solicit high-quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout the world, presenting the new and exciting research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks and vehicular internetworking. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Channel modeling Modulation and coding Power control and scalability issues Medium access control protocols Multiple access techniques for VANETs Multichannel organization and operation Communication protocol design Safety, efficiency, and commercial applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/internet communication Simulation frameworks Field operational testing Test methodologies Impact assessment Network management Security issues and countermeasures Privacy issues All submissions must describe original research results and must not be published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Wed, 18 May 2011 16:53:09 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Posted on behalf of Yung Yi, and please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable.
