-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC on BWC for High Speed Vehicles Datum: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:51:36 +0800 Von: Zhou Yi Qing <yqzhou(a)eee.hku.hk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Happy New Year! ***************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications * * Broadband Wireless Communications for High Speed Vehicles * ***************************************************************** With the development of mobile communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE), WiMax and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced, broadband wireless multimedia services will be prevalent in the near future. Meanwhile, high speed vehicles such as airplanes and high speed trains play an increasingly important role in people’s lives, since they provide a relatively stable and spacious environment for long distance travel. As a result, there will be a strong demand for broadband wireless communications (BWC) for high speed vehicles to provide information and onboard entertainment services to passengers. BWC is also needed in vehicle control systems for operational information such as fault sensor measurements and diagnostics, video surveillance, and so on. Interesting research areas and various challenges arise when designing BWC systems for high speed vehicles. For example, a new network structure is needed since a direct transmission signal between the passenger and infrastructure-base-station experiences serious deterioration when traveling through the speeding vehicle. Distributed antenna and radio over fiber can be employed for vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Moreover, due to the lack of accurate channel information, innovative radio resource allocation schemes are also needed at the infrastructure-base-station to assign resources to high speed vehicles. The fast movement of high speed vehicles through cellular networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs, degrading the user experience. This prompts the need for designing fast and reliable handover and random access schemes. In addition, novel physical layer techniques of BWC in high speed mobile environments need to be considered. In particular, there is a strong need to evaluate the effect of Doppler spread and revisit the noncoherent coding, modulation and MIMO schemes. Therefore, BWC for high speed vehicles is a pressing research topic that has huge applications. It is imperative to develop the key techniques enabling BWC for high speed vehicles. The goal of this issue is to bring together the most updated research contributions in this area. We are soliciting high quality, original and unpublished work in BWC for high speed vehicles, especially those pushing the envelope in terms of vehicle speed and communication bandwidth. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel network architecture * Satellite communications * Drive-through Internet * Distributed antenna systems and radio over fiber for vehicle-to-infrastructure communications * High speed vehicle-to-vehicle communication * BWC for high speed vehicle control systems * Radio resource allocation to high speed vehicles * Fast and reliable handover and random access schemes * Wireless channel modeling and estimation * Effects of Doppler spread * Modulation schemes for high speed vehicles * Antenna array and MIMO * Prototype and field tests Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts following the IEEE J-SAC format described at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://www.edas.info. The timetable is as follows: * Manuscript Submission Due: May 1, 2011 * First Reviews Due: August 1, 2011 * Second Reviews Due and Acceptance Notification: November 1, 2011 * Final Manuscript Due: January 1, 2012 * Publication: 2nd quarter 2012 Guest Editors: * Prof. Yiqing Zhou, Advanced Wireless Center, ICT/CAS, China (zhouyiqing(a)ict.ac.cn) * Prof. Fumiyuki Adachi, Tohoku University, Japan (adachi(a)ecei.tohoku.ac.jp) * Prof. Xiaodong Wang, Columbia University, USA (wangx(a)ee.columbia.edu ) * Prof. Athanassios Manikas, Imperial College, United Kingdom, (a.manikas(a)imperial.ac.uk) * Prof. Xi Zhang, Texas A&M University, USA (xizhang(a)ece.tamu.edu) * Prof. Wei-Ping Zhu, Concordia University, Canada (weiping(a)ece.concordia.ca) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Risen from the ashes of traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with the variability of a network solely made up from mobile users, opportunistic communications have recently stood out and gained a lot of research attention. Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile network. The idea of opportunistically exploiting extemporary contacts among the users of the network poses new and challenging problems, as well as providing with novel and promising opportunities, to the networking research community. The AOC 2011 workshop will be a meeting point for people working in the area and it will constitute a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. The AOC 2011 workshop will have a primary interest in the new directions of opportunistic communications represented by mobile social networking, content-centric networking, and participatory sensing. More in general, papers tackling issues related to opportunistic networking and computing are welcome. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications are solicited, as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing * Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and opportunistic networks * Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Thai" <mythai(a)cise.ufl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: CALL FOR PAPERS SIMPLEX 2011: 3rd Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Networks for Practitioners 24th June 2011, Minneapolis, USA http://www.simplexconf.net Co-located with IEEE ICDCS 2011 THEME ----- Network science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real-world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complexity may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Simplex aims at triggering different computer science communities (e.g. communication networks, distributed systems) to propose research areas and topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective. We also seek contributions from network science that are relevant to solve practical computer science problems. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network science community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Application of complex network theory to the design of distributed and mobile systems; - Data mining of large scale networks; - Analysis of dynamic and time-varying networks; - Network robustness to failures and attacks; - Machine learning and network science; - Complex network theory applied to forwarding/routing problems - Application of social network analysis to communication and computing system design; - Mobility and connectivity modelling; - Network science and data&information retrieval; - Complex network theory and security applications. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. The proceedings of the conference and the workshops will be published in CDs by the IEEE Computer Society Press. All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format (up to 6 pages).

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks. Topics of Interest The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Localized unicast and multicast routing protocols · Localized broadcasting algorithms · Localized QoS communication protocols · Localized geocasting protocols · Localized clustering algorithms · Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks · Localized auto-configuration and network formation algorithms · Topology construction and maintenance based on local information · Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication · Relative positioning algorithms based on local information · Network graph properties supporting localized protocols · Localized algorithms for data management and query · Localized incentive schemes for selfish wireless networks · Localized algorithms in delay/disruption tolerant networks · Security based on local information in wireless sensor networks · Bounds analysis in localized solutions · Worst and average case analysis in localized algorithms Paper submission Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to six (6) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=localgos10.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications Datum: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 15:16:15 +0100 Von: Gian Pietro Picco <gianpietro.picco(a)unitn.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu 2nd International Workshop on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS May 22, 2011, Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii http://www.sesena.info info(a)sesena.info In conjunction with ACM/IEEE Int. Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a fundamental building-block of the upcoming Internet of Things, as they enable seamless integration of the digital and physical worlds. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on the individual, hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce re- sources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable envi- ronmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the develop- ment task and increase the confidence in the correctness and perfor- mance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. The aim of SESENA11 is to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange their recent research re- sults on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The for- mer will allow discussing in technical depth novel results with an au- dience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will pro- vide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously-unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA11 will also include a "speakers' corner" session composed by impromptu pre- sentations where any of the attendees (including those without an ac- cepted paper) will be given a chance to present their own views in very short statements (e.g., 2-4 minutes). TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop solicits contributions including, but not limited to, the following aspects of SE for sensor networks: * (macro)programming languages and compilers; * testing and debugging; * formal verification and model checking; * model-driven approaches; * interfacing WSNs and business software SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules (see http://2011.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines). Re- search papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically through CyberChairPro at http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/sesenapapers/submit. The program committee will review all submissions for quality, rele- vance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Ac- cepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site.

This forms a framework on harmonization of results obtained separately in different areas of network research like network performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer network design. The conference goal is in the identification, investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches, architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Therefore, wireless networks and their interaction with wired networks shall be widely examined and addressed throughout the conference. The history of NEW2AN dates back to 1993, today it is an established conference featured by proceedings published by Springer LNCS (confirmed) and distinguished keynote speakers. In 2008 NEW2AN promoted newly organized event on Smart Spaces ruSMART ("are you SMART"). In 2011 NEW2AN and ruSMART will be organized again jointly thus allowing boosting of cross-discipline interactions. The NEW2AN/ruSMART 2011 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting point of East and West.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] [2nd Call for Papers] Pervasive 2011 - 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing: Workshop Papers Datum: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 10:45:53 +0000 Von: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Organisation: University of Cambridge / Lancaster University An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ------------------------------------------------------ Call for Pervasive 2011 Workshop Papers ------------------------------------------------------ The accepted workshops for Pervasive 2011 - the 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing - can be found below. The list of workshops is also available online at: http://pervasiveconference.org/2011/workshops.html Important dates: --------------------- - Paper submission deadline: February 4, 2011 - Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 11, 2011 - Workshops: June 12, 2011 The following workshops have been accepted: ---------------------------------------------------------- W1: Third International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Spontaneous Interaction and Mobile Phone Use Website : http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/iwssi2011/ Mobile devices in general, and mobile phones in particular, present unique challenges not only in terms of user interface, battery life, and form factor, but also in terms of ensuring their users' privacy and security. Privacy and security are often in conflict with another and have been the topic of many research projects. Emerging mobile payment and ticketing solutions require the secure transmission and storage of financial information, while electronic health records or access certificates/tokens might imply the use of highly sensitive personal information on such devices. Securing the potentially massive amount of interactions using mobile devices is difficult, because typically there will be no a priori shared information such as passwords, addresses, or PIN codes between the phone, its user, and the service they want to use. Additionally, mobile devices often lack powerful user interfaces to support classical authentication methods. The 3rd International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Spontaneous Interaction and Mobile Device Use (IWSSI/SPMU'2011) provides a forum to discuss these challenges and to put forward an agenda for future research. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation between research groups and to establish a highly connected research community. Authors of selected workshop submissions will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue in a renowned international journal. Organizers: * Rene Mayrhofer * Marc Langheinrich * Alexander De Luca --------------------- W2: First International Workshop on Frontiers in Activity Recognition using Pervasive Sensing Website : http://di.ncl.ac.uk/iwfar/ Activity recognition (AR) emerged as a key area of research in pervasive computing and plays a central role in the field's vision of developing context- aware systems and interaction. The general objective for current activity recognition systems is to analyze continuous sensor data streams and to detect and discriminate certain activities of interest, and to reject portions of sensor data that cover unknown or idle activities. A wealth of algorithmic approaches to activity recognition have been developed that employ state-of- the-art signal processing and machine learning techniques. Reviewing the current literature in the field may give the impression that the general problem of activity recognition has almost been solved. State-of-the-art AR systems achieve recognition rates of well beyond 80 or 90 percent across tasks. This opens up the question which other - more challenging - activity recognition problems should be addressed in the future. More generally speaking, this also relates to the question how a future AR system should look like. What will be the challenges of AR that go beyond the aforementioned classification approach and could, for example, comprise a quantitative measure of the quality of performing an activity rather than only detecting an activity? IWFAR 2011, a satellite workshop of Pervasive 2011, is supposed to focus on new "frontiers in activity recognition using pervasive sensing" in the aforementioned sense. We want to stimulate and explore the creativity of the community regarding new applications and approaches to AR. The latter could comprise radically new procedures like, for example, biologically inspired AR methods or rigorously exploiting general time-series analysis approaches (e.g. from the financial domain). Recent publications in the AR community represent quite promising starting points (cf. e.g. time-delay embedding for the analysis of repetitive activity patterns, which was inspired by the physics of complex systems). IWFAR 2011 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to gather and present new ideas, and discuss aspects related to applications and techniques that go beyond classic activity recognition. Covering a more or less "emerging" field, expected contributions would also cover more speculative ideas that are too specific for the broader audience of the main conference. We solicit high-quality technical papers that shall be presented orally while leaving enough time for discussions. Organizers: * Thomas Ploetz (Newcastle University, UK) * Daniel Roggen (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) * Andreas Bulling (University of Cambridge and Lancaster University, UK) --------------------- W3: First Workshop on Pervasive Urban Applications (PURBA) Website : http://purba.mit.edu Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications 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 workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and explore the 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. Organizers: * Francesco Calabrese, MIT * Santi Phithakkitnukoon, MIT * Dominik Dahlem, MIT * Giusy Di Lorenzo, MIT --------------------- W4: First Workshop on Hybrid Pervasive/Digital Inference Website : TBA Two different lines of research have developed around the topic of making inferences from data. One line arises from the analysis of physical data captured directly by sensors of real-world behaviors. These data include streams of GPS and WiFi sensors, accelerometers, compasses, gyroscopes, audio, and video, which are often processed to infer location, motion, co-presence, and identity. Another line arises from data captured about online behaviors. These include email messages, web browsing histories, application traces, and keystroke loggers, online calendars, document repositories, tagging databases, and social networks. Analysis of online data sources is performed to infer topics of interest, retrieve information, and enhance collaboration. We see these two data stream types coming together in the near future. Smartphones have made it easy to collect physical data about people. Web 2.0 technologies have encouraged users to curate more information online. Together, these colliding trends will inferences more accurate, more detailed, more "24-7" than ever before, and will make completely new kinds of inferences possible. Organizers: * Kurt Partridge * Oliver Brdiczka * Judy Kay * Bob Kummerfeld * Paul Lukowicz --------------------- W5: Second International Workshop on the Web of Things Website : http://www.webofthings.com/wot/2011 The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes; real-world objects such as home appliances, industrial machines and wireless sensor and actuator networks embed powerful computers which often can connect to the Internet. Likewise, more and more common objects are being tagged with RFID tags or barcodes. Considering the recent progress in mobile communications (increased bandwidth for cell phone networks, as well as urban wireless broadband networks), Internet access will very likely become a commodity accessible from most real-world devices. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges, as digital communication networks will soon not only contain virtual data (images, text, etc.), but also real objects. While the "Internet of Things" has become a well-known brand for a set of research issues in the pervasive and ubiquitous computing communities, the focus of this research theme has been on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments. Our hypothesis is that the "Web of Things" is the next logical step in the ongoing evolution of how pervasive and ubiquitous computing have enabled new applications and provided new opportunities. The Web of Things takes the next step from establishing connectivity and thus the ability to communicate with Things, to a vision where Things become seamlessly integrated into the Web, not just through Web-based user interfaces of specific applications, but by simply blending into the information space created by the Web and its architectural principles. The "Web of Things" solicits contributions in the areas of architectures for a Web of things, decentralization, services, Web- scale applications, as well as questions of user interface and interaction design, where a Web of Things requires application designers to think beyond standard Web browsers and embrace alternative clients such as mobile devices or even more constrained environments. Organizers: * Dominique Guinard (ETH Zurich / MIT Auto-ID Labs) * Vlad Trifa (ETH Zurich / MIT) * Erik Wilde (UC Berkeley) --------------------- W6: First Workshop on Emerging Mobile Sensing Technology, System, and Application Website : http://sites.google.com/site/mobisense2011/home Mobile sensing is rapidly gaining attentions in research and industry due to the proliferation of mobile devices equipped with increasing number of sensors, and widespread of sensor based mobile applications. Mobile sensing applications have penetrated into many application domains such as fitness/health, gaming and entertainment, security and privacy, navigation, mobile search and advertising, by taking advantages of the availability of multiple sensors on state-of-the-art mobile devices. In the era of breakthroughs on intelligent pervasive and mobile computing, practitioners and researchers have to address new challenges and requirements in order to meet the ever-growing demands for pervasive intelligent computing systems, and context aware mobile devices. MobiSense is intended to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry, to share practical implementations/experiences related to emerging mobile sensing technologies, mobile sensing systems/platforms, and novel sensing applications, and to discuss future trends in research and applications. Organizers: * Larry (Weidong) Shi, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto * Jun Yang, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto * Yingen Xiong, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto --------------------- W7: First International Workshop on Smart Mobile Applications Website : http://www.mobile.ifi.uni- muenchen.de/aktuelles/smartapps2011/index.html Mobile computing is a related area of pervasive computing. Mobile applications are rapidly developing and becoming more and more important. Currently, smartphones with more advanced computing capabilities and connectivity than classic mobile phones offer more functionalities and run smarter applications. Mobile platforms comprise an increasing number of different sensors such as photosensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes etc, thus allowing sophisticated contextualized applications. In addition, users as well as developers benefit from an increasing number of market places and online stores for mobile applications. The concept of a mobile "app" that can be purchased via centralized hubs is already very common among the growing number of users. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions in the following areas: * App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms * Context-Matching, Context-Aggregation and Reasoning * Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Mobile Applications * Mobile Social Networks * Ensuring Privacy and Security for Enterprise Applications * Cross-Platform Software Design and Development Organizers: * Claudia Linnhoff-Popien (LMU Munich, Germany) * Stephan Verclas (T-Systems International GmbH, Germany) --------------------- W8: Intelligibility and Control in Ubicomp Website : http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/pervasive-intelligibility/ Due to the proactive and complex dynamics of pervasive computing applications, it is important that systems are intelligible to allow end-users to understand “what the systems know, how they know it, and what they are doing”. Furthermore, these systems should put end-users at the center of control by empowering them to better co-ordinate, control, and personalize pervasive systems. Intelligibility and control are crucial to improve the usability of these novel, and possibly unintuitive, systems and to help users understand, appreciate, trust, and ultimately adopt them. With this workshop, we seek to provide a forum for exchanging design principles, programming techniques, toolkits and insights derived from real world studies towards building intelligible and user-controllable pervasive computing systems. Drawing upon the state-of-the-art, our goal is to refine existing and identify new directions for research in intelligibility and control for pervasive computing that will foster further work in the community. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel applications in pervasive computing highlighting intelligibility and/or user-driven control. * Programming techniques (e.g., design patterns, models), algorithms, architectures and toolkits to support intelligibility and/or control. * Interaction techniques and user interfaces to support intelligibility and/or control, including information visualization techniques to help users better interpret explanations from pervasive computing applications. * User studies exploring design principles to build intelligible pervasive systems. * Intelligible smart objects. * Evaluation metrics and methods to assess support for intelligibility and control in pervasive computing systems. We intend to communicate the results of the workshop to the larger pervasive computing community by submitting an article to a magazine (e.g., IEEE Pervasive). If the papers and discussions reflect sufficient progress and cohesiveness, we will try to work toward producing a special issue of a journal or possibly an edited book. Organizers: * Jo Vermeulen, Hasselt University, Belgium * Brian Y. Lim, Carnegie-Mellon University, USA * Fahim Kawsar, Bell Labs, Belgium and Lancaster University, UK --------------------- W9: 2nd Workshop on Programming Models for Mobile and Pervasive Systems. Website : http://www.stevens.edu/pmmps/ Pervasive mobile computing is here, but how these devices and services should be programmed is still something of a mystery. Programming mobile and pervasive applications is more than than building client-server or peer-peer systems with mobility, and it is more than providing usable interfaces for mobile devices that may interact with the surrounding context. It includes aspects such as disconnected and low-attention working, spontaneous collaboration, evolving and uncertain security regimes, and integration into services and workflows hosted on the internet. In the past, efforts have focused on the form of human-device interfaces that can be built using mobile and distributed computing tools, or on human computer interface design based on, for example, the limited screen resolution and real estate provided by a smartphone. Much of the challenge in building pervasive systems is in bringing together users' expectations of their interactions with the system with the model of a physical and virtual environment with which users interact in the context of the pervasive application. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in programming languages, software architecture and design, and pervasive systems to present and discuss results and approaches to the development of mobile and pervasive systems. The goal is to begin the process of developing the software design and development tools necessary for the next generation of services in dynamic environments, including mobile and pervasive computing, wireless sensor networks, and adaptive devices. Organizers: * Dominic Duggan, Stevens Institute of Technology, NJ * Simon Dobson, University of St Andrews UK --------------------- W10: 4th Workshop on Pervasive Advertising Website : TBA The overall topic of the workshop is the application of Pervasive Computing technologies for advertising purposes. This topic is of particular interest at this time because advertising is considered by multiple researchers as one main business models for pervasive computing and has recently been called the "Killer application for the 21st century". The market is rapidly growing, and major companies (Apple iAd, JCDecaux, Wall, ClearChannel, Google etc.) are invested in pervasive advertising projects. The main hinderance today is that advertisers lack the technological skills, and pervasive computing researchers and practitioners lack the advertising knowledge and experience. Furthermore, these groups rarely talk to each other. Based on the success of previous workshops we envision to continue and further establish the workshop series as a prime venue bringing together people from academia and practice, hence driving forward research in the field of Pervasive Advertising. We believe that our research community has a responsibility to contribute towards a joint understanding of how pervasive advertising of the future will look like. To this end, this workshop looks at the future of advertising from the perspective of pervasive computing. It aims to provide a foundational structure for the field and will attempt to sketch a roadmap for further research and deployment challenges in this domain.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi-hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to identifying the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences Program Co-Chairs: - Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr), University of the Aegean, Greece - Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr), Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece - Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr), University of Piraeus, Greece Paper submission instructions: This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere.

Due to the increasing significance of power consumption in computing and networking, the goal of e-Energy is to bring together researchers, developers, practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges. The continuing spread of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed much to the reduction of energy consumption in many areas of everyday life. Nevertheless ICT infrastructure continues to expand in capacity and reach, and needs to be more energy- efficient itself. e-Energy addresses all cyber infrastructure such as the varied fields of servers and communication infrastructures, services in data centers, end-systems in home and office environments, broadband access networks, sensor networks, cloud computing, smart grids and future networks such as the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Instrumentation and measurement of energy-efficient computing and networking - Energy and performance profiling, accounting of energy consumption - Metrics, benchmarks, interfaces, tools - Monitoring and management concepts - Energy, performance, quality of service and other resource tradeoffs - Energy-efficient networking and protocols - Energy-efficient peer-to-peer networking and overlays - Future energy-efficient architectures - Energy-efficient application design - Load, heat, and resource modeling - Load, heat, and resource management - Reliability and power management - Energy-efficient grid and data-center technology - Energy-efficient cloud computing - Energy-efficiency and virtualization - Energy-efficiency, resource sharing, and security - SmartGrids: new computing and networking contributions - Sensing techniques and sensor networks for energy awareness - Energy-efficient network components (switches, routers, transceivers, amplifiers, etc.) - Design methodologies and tools for energy-efficient services - Security challenges in energy-efficient computing and networking * Important Dates: Full papers due: January 14, 2011 Notification of acceptance: March 21, 2011 Final versions due: April 22, 2011 * Publication: e-Energy invites submission of two categories of paper: full papers and discussion papers. Full papers should be no longer than 10 pages and discussion papers should be no longer than 4 pages. All papers must present original theoretical and/or experimental research that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions must be in PDF- format using the double-column ACM format given at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Further submission information can be accessed via http://www.e-energy-conf.org/. Proceedings are intended to be published by ACM and appear in the ACM library and IEEE Xplore (subject to agreement by ACM and the IEEE). Full papers should include a detailed description of research either in progress or completed.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers
by Mario Fanelli 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 28 February 2011 Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by February 28 2011 using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

Mobile applications are rapidly developing and becoming more and more important. They consist of software that runs on a smart phone or tablet and perform certain tasks for the user of the cellular phone. In this way, the user can use the application in its personal situation and can take advantage of the mobile phone’s capabilities, such as the camera, positioning and navigation or network access. Now, mobile devices are becoming even smarter. They are computer networked and user reconfigurable. A device can be seen as part of a cloud or operate autonomously. It is a device, that consists of CPU, storage and network access and has the intelligence to perform services both reactive and proactive. It can also be seen as a part of a smart environment, i.e. interact with a physical world consisting of sensors and actuators, displays and computational elementsthat are connected through a continuous network. Currently, smartphones with more advanced computing capabilities and connectivity than classic mobile phones offer more functionalities and run smarter applications. Mobile platforms comprise an increasing number of different sensors such as photosensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes etc, thus allowing sophisticated contextualized applications. In addition, users as well as developers benefit from an increasing number of market places and online stores for mobile applications. The concept of a mobile "app" that can be purchased via centralized hubs is already very common among the growing number of users. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions in the following areas: ·App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms ·Context-Matching, Context-Aggregation and Reasoning ·Applications of Artificial Intelligence to MobileApplications ·Mobile Social Networks ·Ensuring Privacy and Security for EnterpriseApplications ·Cross-Platform Software Design and Development Workshop Chairs: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien (LMU Munich, Germany) Stephan Verclas (T-Systems International GmbH, Germany) Workshop Organisation: Martin Werner (LMU Munich, Germany) Program Committee: Eduard Babulak, CORDIS, European Commission Iain Bate, University of York, United Kingdom Shuvra S.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/<http://www.iet.ntnu.no/%7Ejgding/> *Subject and Purpose of the Workshop* We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make 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 emerging the 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 it 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. Connecting different WSNs is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of many sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance. Also, an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboringreachable 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 the connection between WSNs and connectivity issues. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Sensor deployment and connectivity issues - Integration of WSN and RFID - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - InterconnectingWSN 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 - Authentication, vulnerability, protection, and security issues - Fault-tolerance and dependability of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues - Routing and network protocols - Medium access control protocols - Transport protocols for congestion control, and Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation - Location and time services - 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. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be available on-line at IEEE Xplore digital library.
