-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM HotPlanet 2010 workshop (co-located with ACM MobiSys) - Extended Deadline Datum: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 10:08:54 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fehmi(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Due to numerous requests the paper submission deadline has been extended to March 21, 2010. Please register your paper before March 14, 2010. The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Paper registration deadline: March 14, 2010 Submission deadline: March 21, 2010 Authors notification: April 18, 2010 Camera ready: May 7, 2010 Workshop date: June 15, 2010 It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form<http://www.acm.org/publications/copyright_form>. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.

06 Mar '10

Dear Sirs, I would like to bring your attention to the following call for papers. Should you need any clarification or further information I will be glad to oblige. IJARAS also hosts special issues addressing specific topics. Tentative guest editors are also welcome to forward their proposals. Thank you very much. With kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio http://www.pats.ua.ac.be/vincenzo.deflorio ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* ***SIXTH and SEVENTH ISSUES*** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 31 2009 (sixth issue), June 30, 2010 (seventh issue) International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp/PATS & IBBT, Ph.D. Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy Llorenç Cerdà-Alabern - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Spain Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy Filip De Turck, Intec group, University of Ghent, Belgium Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland Konrad Klöckner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and the surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems constantly re-optimizing in view of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). It introduces a problem, which implies a research direction --- a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering are regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p… <http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p…> PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to vincenzo.deflorio(a)ua.ac.be <mailto:vincenzo.deflorio@ua.ac.be>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]: ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference 2010 Datum: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 09:55:11 -0500 Von: Ningfang Mi <ningfang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: Middleware 2010 (Submission Due: May 23, 2010) (Please accept our apologies for cross posting) ======================== Middleware 2010 ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference November 29 - December 3, 2010, Bangalore, India http://2010.middleware-conference.org/index.html ======================== CALL FOR PAPERS The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design, implementation, deployment, and usage of middleware. Middleware is a distributed-systems software that resides between a rich variety of applications on the one hand, and the underlying architecture on the other hand which may consist of the OS, hardware, and network stacks or even databases, storage and different cloud services. The goals of middleware include providing abstractions, programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. This is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 11th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2010. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Middleware platforms: * Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms * Middleware for traditional clusters and Grid computing * Middleware for data-intensive computing * Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous and mobile computing * Middleware for sensor and embedded systems * Middleware for Web services and Web-service composition * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware * Middleware for system management and monitoring * Middleware for next generation telecommunication platforms * Internet-based communication protocols and data transfer middleware * Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion * Middleware supporting service-oriented architectures * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches * Semantic middleware * Middleware solutions for distributed databases * Peer-to-peer middleware solutions * Novel middleware solutions for industry frameworks Systems issues for Middleware: * Reliability and fault-tolerance * Scalability and performance * Energy- and power-aware techniques * Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling * Security and Information assurance * Storage and file systems * Parallelized execution and techniques * Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware * Real-time solutions and quality of service * Evaluation and deployment: challenges, techniques and lessons Design principles and tools: * Programming frameworks, parallel programming and design methodologies for middleware * Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions * Debugging and distributed debugging of middleware * Probabilistic Techniques and approaches for middleware * Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation * Formal methods, verification and software engineering for middleware * Old Wine: Revisiting classical middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. ========================= Industry Papers The conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused papers and use case studies; full papers should be submitted to the main program, where they will be reviewed using appropriate criteria (e.g. emphasizing experience and system evolution), and accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings. Additionally, short industry-focused papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) may be submitted to a special industrial track; accepted short papers will be presented at the conference and published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that submissions to the main program may indicate a willingness to be referred to the Industrial Track if a paper is not accepted to the main program. Big Ideas Papers This year, we particularly encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. Authors should indicate in the introduction that their paper is a vision of a big idea, rather than more mature work. Such papers should clearly indicate why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. ========================= Submission Guidelines Submissions will be handled via the conference web page at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/Middleware2010 ========================= Important Dates May 16, 2010: Abstract Submission May 23, 2010 (11:59pm PST): Paper Submission August 5, 2010: Notification of acceptance August 20, 2010: Camera ready due November 29 - December 3, 2010: Conference ========================= There will be a separate call for workshops, for tutorials, and for the Doctoral Symposium. Please check the website for dates. ========================= Program Committee Chairs Indranil Gupta, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge Program Committee Karl Aberer, EPFL, Swtzerland Katerina Argyraki, EPFL, Switzerland Jean Bacon, University of Cambridge, UK Christian Becker, Universitaet Mannheim, Germany Yolande Berbers, KUL-DistriNet, Belgium Bharat Bhargava, Purdue University, USA Gordon Blair, University of Lancaster, UK Raj Kumar Buyya, University of Melbourne, Australia Renato Cerqueira, PUC-Rio, Brazil Roy Campbell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Brian F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition Datum: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 12:52:24 +0100 Von: Anders Lindgren <andersl(a)sics.se> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please note that the workshop is held the week after Sigcomm 2010 (which is in Delhi), so if you plan to attend Sigcomm, the extra travel expenses for ExtremeCom will be small. Also make sure to check the web site for the exciting opportunity offered to the recipient of the best student paper award. /Anders -------- Call for Papers and Demos for The 2nd Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Himalayan Expedition (ExtremeCom 2010) September 4-10, 2010 The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to challenged networks in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Such networks include delay and disruption tolerant networks, sparse sensor networks, power-efficient networking, as well as other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas. We aim to do this through a real-life experience in the Indian Himalayan region. Dharamsala, where the workshop will take place, is a well-frequented and loved destination for visitors. This mountainous town presents a unique mix of cultures and spiritual traditions and is also a starting point to a number of spectacular trekking trails. Dharamsala is also the place where Dharamsala Community Network came to life in February 2005, following the deregulation of WiFi for outdoor use in India. Built and operated by AirJaldi, a social enterprise, the network grew from 8 campuses in 2005 to over 2,000 computers spread in campuses, offices and homes within a radius of 70Km. in and around Dharamsala. AirJaldi is building additional networks in other rural locations in India. The ExtremeCom 2010 workshop is planned around AirJaldi’s Dharamsala network’s locations and facilities, thereby giving participants a great opportunity to be involved in a real-life network deployment. The workshop will start with a four-day field trip into the mountain regions around Dharamsala. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains, visit local villages and Tibetan settlements and meet the local population and users of the network. The combination of trekking and meetings will give participants a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of the network, as well as provide opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants who have their own solutions for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop and some details are subject to change.) During the field trip, participants will be given the chance to work with AirJaldi to set up more relays, for example in schools along the hiking trail (details to be provided at a later stage). Upon reaching the end of the hike, we will conduct a two-day technical session in a more traditional conference venue with paper presentations and demos. The focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the recent field experience they have gone through together will give participants the ability to view and discuss the topics presented with additional insights. Authors should submit a 6-page paper outlining ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or alternatively a 2-page proposal for a demo to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: April 30, 2010 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2010 Registration deadline: June 30, 2010 Workshop dates: September 4-10, 2010 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Hosts: AirJaldi.Org Local arrangements chair: Michael Ginguld, AirJaldi, India Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science, Sweden Elizabeth M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] New Deadline: SI on Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCN Datum: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 18:12:53 -0400 Von: Eduardo Nakamura <efnaka(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: SI on Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCN [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus New Submission Deadline: April 25, 2010 (original deadline: February 28, 2010) The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources – such as processing, communication, and energy – are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, and at least 11 pt fonts. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below.

QoEMCS submission deadline extended: Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing workshop at EuroITV 2010
by Shelley Buchinger 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I am looking forward to interesting and lively discussions at the workshop. Best regards, Shelley *** Paper submission deadline has been extended to 22nd of March *** [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 22nd March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 5th April 2010: Notification of acceptance - 22nd April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: QoEMCS Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users? expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users? experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of three pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Publication Workshop contributions will be published in the EuroITV proceedings. * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ======================================================== _______________________________________________ ituvidq mailing list ituvidq(a)its.bldrdoc.gov http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/mailman/listinfo/ituvidq

Could you please help us distribute the attached Call for Papers to friends and colleagues who might be interested. Best regards, Thomas Grill P.S.: This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for possible duplicate postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS - TwUC 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2010) November 8-10, 2010, Paris, France http://www.twuc.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fourth International Workshop on the vision of a trustworthy ubiquitous computing will be held on November 8-10, 2010, in Paris, France. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 12th international conference on Advances in Mobile Multimedia (iiWAS2010) and the 8thInternational Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia (MoMM2010). TwUC covers aspects of trust in ubiquitous computing environments. The aspects of context, privacy, reliability, usability and user experience related to ubiquitous computing environments represent the main topics of the workshop. Marc Weiser presented his vision of disappearing and ubiquitous computing more than 15 years ago. The big picture of the computer introduced into our environment was a big innovation and the starting point for various areas of research. In order to totally adopt the idea of ubiquitous computing several houses were build, equipped with technology and used as laboratory in order to find and test appliances that are useful and could be made available in our everyday life. Within the last years industry picked up the idea of integrating ubiquitous computing and already available products like remote controls for your house were developed and brought to the marked. In spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive computing the success is still far away. One of the main reasons is the lack of acceptance of and confidence in this technology. Although researchers and industry are working in all of these areas a forum to elaborate security, reliability and privacy issues, that resolve in trustworthy interfaces and computing environments for people interacting within these ubiquitous environments is important. The user experience factor of trust thus becomes a crucial issue for the success of a UbiComp application. The goal of the TwUC 2010 workshop is to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues. Topics of Interest The conference program will include peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics: - Usability and HCI in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure usability in UbiComp environments User experience in ubiquitous environ- ments - User satisfaction and trust in ubiquitous environments - User perceived QoS, usability and quality of experience (QoE) - Trust and context in ubiquitous environments - Trust and the design of UbiComp appliances User centred design in ubiquitous environments - User centred evaluation methods in ubiquitous environments - Security in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Security issues and technologies - Usage policies - Identity and access - Threat and vulnerability - Malicious software in ubiquitous environments and its effect on trust - Trusted computing and platforms - Reliability in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Software design - Software quality and metrics - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure reliability in UbiComp applications and environments - Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Issues and appliances on privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - Data and information ownership - Souvereignity of social and technical methods for ensuring confidentiality IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission July 15, 2010 Acceptance Notification August 30, 2010 Camera-Ready Papers September 30, 2010 TwUC 2010 Workshop November 8-10, 2010 PUBLICATION All accepted conference papers will be published together with the iiWAS2010 / MoMM2010 proceedings by the ACM digital library and the Austrian computer society books@ocg books series.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:56:18 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au> Organisation: University of Sydney An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this CFP. ----- CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles (V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I), has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609 suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries, have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense. There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be popular with the public. The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment * Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure * Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication * Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET) * Cooperative communication and relaying * Opportunistic routing and forwarding * Location, navigation and mobility management * Geographical routing methods * Security and privacy in vehicular communications * V2V and V2I communications * Intra-vehicle wireless communication * Public transport communication systems * DSRC/WAVE standards * Experimental evaluation and testbed deployments * Applications of road and vehicular communications in safety and traffic management Submission Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (Lavy Libman, lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au). Important Dates Submission Deadline: March 15, 2010 Author Notification: July 15, 2010 Final Manuscript due: August 10, 2010 Tentative Publication Date: September 2010 Guest Editors Alex Grant, University of South Australia & Cohda Wireless Bjorn Landfeldt, University of Sydney Tim Leinmüller, Denso Automotive Deutschland GmbH Lavy Libman, University of Sydney & NICTA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 15:24:05 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> New submission deadline: 21st of March 2010 due to requests ----------------------------------------------------------- Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SWiM: International Workshop on Seamless Wireless Mobility Datum: Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:30:22 -0500 (EST) Von: Linda Jiang Xie <jxie1(a)uncc.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ********************************************************************** ******** SWiM 2010 ******** ****** ****** **** First International Workshop on **** ** Seamless Wireless Mobility ** * * * December 10, 2010 in Miami, Florida * * in Conjunction with GLOBECOM 2010 * * * * http://www.coe.uncc.edu/~jxie1/SWiM10/ * * * * All accepted and presented papers will be included in the * * IEEE GLOBECOM proceedings and IEEE digital library. Selected * * accepted papers will be published in a special issue of * * Journal of Communications (JCM). * * * ********************************************************************** Scope of SWiM 2010: =================== The advances in wireless technologies and mobile devices have enabled the realization of a wide range of wireless networking opportunities. The coexistence of wireless heterogeneous networks has been widely recognized, and it has become more and more common that new mobile devices get equipped with multiple and heterogeneous wireless interfaces. Furthermore, the recent advances in software-defined and cognitive radio technologies promise even more diversity and heterogeneity. This brings about a lot of opportunities and challenges for mobile wireless networking. With the emerging wireless technologies, mobility has more generic meaning than just node movement as in the traditional sense. It also means that when the operational environment changes (such as frequency and power), a node or the network adapts to the environmental changes, which requires the cognitive capability. On one hand, it is of critical importance that seamless, low latency and transparent services are provided to the users, via potentially multiple heterogeneous wireless technologies or opportunistic spectrum access involved during the course of node movement or environmental changes. Environment cognizance, spectrum-aware mobility management, and vertical handoff become critical components in the solution space. On the other hand, host and network mobility also affects the performance of network protocols significantly, while at the same time allows opportunistic interconnections of heterogeneous networks, which in turn makes mobility adaptability an important design issue. This asks the design of wireless architectures, protocols, spectrum management, and mobility management mechanisms to be revisited. Cohesive with the main theme of Globecom 2010 --- "moving into the age of mobile interactivity", SWiM 2010 welcomes original submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architecture, system, protocol, modeling, and testbed design, as well as emerging applications and standards to enable seamless mobility and transparency in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architecture, system, and protocol design for seamless roaming support in wireless networks - Spectrum cognition and agility associated with mobility - Vertical handoff and seamless integration of heterogeneous networks - Location tracking, positioning, and address management - Mobility modeling and theoretical/experimental validation - Mobility impact on routing, resource/power/QoS management - Adaptive and resilient protocols for seamless mobility support at all layers, as well as cross-layer approaches - Security and privacy issues under mobility and network access - Emerging standards and applications on mobility - Simulation/testbed tools and experimental measurements Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline : July 2, 2010 Notification of acceptance : August 13, 2010 Camera-ready version : August 31, 2010 Workshop Date : December 10, 2010 Submission Details: =================== SWiM 2010 will only accept original, previous unpublished papers.
