Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunication networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially,economically and yes, even psychologically.This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers.In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. **Submission process** All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive UrbanApplications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. **Important Dates** Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First Notification: March 1, 2012 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 **Guest Editors of the Special Issue** Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, U

Viele Gruesse, Dirk Kutscher -- Dr. Dirk Kutscher NEC Laboratories Europe Kurfuerstenanlage 36 69115 Heidelberg, Germany email: dirk.kutscher(a)neclab.eu Tel. +49 6221 4342 203 Fax. +49 6221 4342 155 NEC Europe Limited | Registered Office: NEC House, 1 Victoria Road, London W3 6BL | Registered in England 2832014 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] Call for Contributions ---------------------- NEC Laboratories Europe and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) of the University of Stuttgart invite you to a one-day workshop on the topic Capacity Sharing ---------------- With the increasing amount of IP traffic in fixed and mobile access networks, the question how to share the available resources in a fair, efficient and demand-oriented way becomes more and more prevalent. With the variety of services one can find in today's Internet, the requirements in rate, data volume and latency differ strongly. To maximize resource utilization and, at the same time, provide satisfying performance to all users, application layer knowledge is needed. As different resource allocation and adaptation mechanisms already exist in MAC, transport and application layer, an integral consideration of the problem space is required. 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. Because large over-provisioning factors are economically unfeasibly, similar questions on capacity sharing also arise in fixed access networks, such as high bandwidth passive optical networks or cable networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders of mobile and fixed access networks, the classic Internet world and of the application and transport community. We solicit presentations on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We are especially looking forward to (possibly provocative) visionary presentations to foster a lively discussion about how to face the upcoming challenges in the future mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Related standardization activities and projects Submission Information ---------------------- Please inform the workshop organizers by email to CapacitySharingWS(a)ikr.uni-stuttgart.de about title and abstract (max. 1 page) of your planned presentation. The number of slots is limited. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for contributions is July 15, 2011. Registration to the workshop is open until September 15, 2011. The workshop takes place in Stuttgart on Thursday, October 13, 2011.

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.

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.
