The number of mobile phones, PDAs, NFC, RFID, smart card tokens, and other computing and portable devices requiring wireless network access has superseded that of wired ones. Wireless communications and smart devices provide many benefits such as mobility, portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation and maintenance costs. At the same time futurists are speculating about a world of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligent, in which countless invisible sensors and actuators will communicate with each other, imminently taking care of our needs and wishes. Depending on their specific underlying operational characteristics and deployment environment, these devices have specific platform, application, and communication requirements, and they may be routinely used by millions of users and for a variety of applications. These applications include a myriad of deployment scenarios including WLAN accessibility in order to check email and obtain access to the internet or other networks, buildings and public transport networks, or even engaging into financial transactions with banks or other individuals. As the technologies of next generation wireless networks and smart devices are emerging, security has become a primary concern, in order to ensure dependable, secure communications and services to the end user. This special issue on security of next generation smart devices will present current research focusing on security-related protocols and applications, secure architecture and frameworks, along with new theories and methodologies for secure next generation wireless networks and respective smart devices.

All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * Design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Algorithms and models for wireless networks and mobile applications * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Measurements and performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Emerging topics, e.g., social networking applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom 2010 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. *_Challenges Papers_* The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." *_Submission Instructions_* All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must: 1. be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), 2. be in font size no smaller than 10 points, 3. have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 in X 3.33 in, a space of 0.33 in between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and, 4. fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 in X 11 in). *Detailed instructions on how and where to submit your paper can be found here <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2010/submit.html>.* This year, authors will be given the option of submitting a few slides that summarize their paper and its contributions. The slides will not be revealed to the reviewers until just before the TPC meeting. They will be used only to better facilitate discussions during the TPC meeting. More details will be made available soon. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at **mobicom_pcchairs*****acm.org***. *_Best Paper Award_* All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. *_Important Dates_____* Abstracts submission due: March 5, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Paper submissions due: March 12, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Notification of acceptance: June 21, 2010 Camera-ready version due: July 15, 2010 *_Important Note_* It is ACM policy (http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html) <http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html> not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. *_For More Information_* Please contact the General Chair or Program Co-Chairs for more information.

[Tccc] Extended deadline: 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications 2010 (IEEE WiVeC)
by Sepulcre Ribes, Miguel 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVeC'2010) 16th-17th May 2010, Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009. Topics of interest ------------------ The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: MOBIMEDIA 2010 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:13:24 +0100 Von: Maria Morozova <maria.morozova(a)icst.org> Organisation: ICST An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de *MOBIMEDIA 2010* 6th International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference * 6-8 September May 2010, Lisboa, Portugal* http://www.mobimedia.org/ *CALL FOR PAPERS* *SPONSORS* Sponsored by ICST <http://www.icst.org> Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET <http://www.create-net.org/> *** *SCOPE* The focus of MOBIMEDIA 2010 is future internet for green and pervasive media. The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location, however, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact, energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries. >From the mobile manufacturer’s perspective the energy consumption problem is critical, not only technically but also taking into account the market expectations from a newly introduced technology. In fact there exists a continuously growing gap between the energy consumption of emerging radio systems and what can be achieved by Battery technology evolution; Scaling and circuit design progress; System level architecture progress; and Thermal and cooling techniques. Without new approaches for energy saving, there is a significant threat that the 4G mobile users will be searching for power outlets rather than network access, and becoming once again bound to a single location. There is added momentum from the European stage for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. In this framework, Mobimedia will provide an international forum where industry, researchers and academia will be able to interact and exchange experiences, ideas, and research results surrounding all aspects on power saving to envisage a environmentally friendly internet of the future. *** *TOPICS* Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical papers on the following research topics, but not limited to: * Cooperative communications * Cognitive radio networks * Software defined radio approaches * Shortr-ange communications * Energy efficient radio resource management and routing * QoE multimedia for Future Internet * P2P multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Energy efficient reconfigurable radio transceivers * Network coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and Cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * User and device location in next generation networks * Security mechanisms and schemes in cooperative networks * Resource and mobility management in cooperative network * Dynamic resource management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for Multimedia services in next generation networks *** ***SUBMISSION* For submission guidelines, please visit http://www.mobimedia.org/submission.shtml *** *IMPORTANT DATES* Papers due: *23 April 2010* Notification of paper acceptance: *28 May 2010* Submission of camera-ready papers: *25 June 2010* *** *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* *General Chair* Jonathan Rodriguez, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal *Program Committee Co-Chairs* Rahim Tafazolli, University of Surrey, UK Christos Verikoukis, CTTC, Spain For a complete list of committee and board members, please visit http://www.mobimedia.org/committees.shtml *** / <mailto:unsubscribe@icst.org>Please, feel free to share the information about the conference and forward this Call for Papers to people that are interested in the topic.

While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

Prof. Jehn-Ruey Jiang, National Central University, Taiwan, R.O.C.* A smart digital home refers to a living space with devices that are connected through wired or wireless networks. The connected devices may be sensors, actors, consumer electronics, appliances, mobile and PC devices that cooperate transparently for facilitating living and improving usability in the home. Sensors can capture the and/or detect physical phenomena, like temperature, humidity, illumination, etc., of living environments and notify other devices of the phenomena; actors and other devices can then act according to the phenomena to provide context aware services. Home care of the old, the young, the sick and the disabled can benefit from smart digital home technologies, by which carers are able to acquire the states of the home and the residents anytime, anywhere and to take proper actions immediately. By the technologies, proper actions can also be triggered automatically in the presence of specific events, such as resident falling, and stove catching fire, etc. Smart digital home technologies enable working from home, remote education, network shopping, online gaming, etc. High speed broadband network access and all-IP technologies enabled by frameworks of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), SDP (Service Delivery Platforms), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), and so on, offer new communication capabilities. We can foresee that innovative smart digital home applications benefiting from high network capabilities will be blooming in the near future. Since a variety of devices presents in a smart digital home, convergent (across all the screens of TVs, PCs, appliances and mobile devices) and personalized user experience is evidently the key for the success of new residential applications. *Subject Coverage* The goal of this special issue is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of the smart digital home.

With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

This results in an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with excellent usability and performance as well as the ability to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.). Besides attractive business opportunities this opens up exciting research and development areas. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 reliable network availability and transparent access to "their own" personalized services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the diverse areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences, and thus realize cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academia, research centers and industry. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical papers to the following tracks: TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES - Wireless communication standards (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16/WiMAX, 802.20, Bluetooth, ECMA-387, wireless USB, LTE Advanced) - Next generation mobile networks (including vehicular communication) - Mobile multi-hop networks, ubiquitous coverage - Ad hoc, sensor and cooperative networks - Pervasive and wearable computing - Green communication, energy saving - Wireless transmission (multi-/single-carrier, multi-antenna, multi-user, modulation, coding) - Lightweight devices architecture - Internetworking and interoperability - Protocol stack design (layering, cross-layering) - Cognitive radio and software defined radio - Self-organization and cooperation - Compact and power efficient RF architectures for wireless devices MOBILE SERVICES - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive multimedia - Ambient assisted living - Usability and HMI - Location and context aware services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and next generation services BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS - Architectures deployment - Service provisioning - Value-added services - Business models - Next generation lightweight devices - Industry perspectives and market evolution - Users' needs and requirements - Available and emerging solutions Workshops, Special Sessions and Tutorials on the latest technical and business issues in topics of mobile lightweight wireless systems are encouraged.

Please redistribute within your own groupor among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------- Ubicomp 2010 - 12th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing Copenhagen, Denmark September 26 - September 29, 2010 http://www.ubicomp2010.org/ Important Dates Note: Submission deadlines are firm and late submissions will not be accepted, so we encourage authors to begin the submission process early. 1. Papers & Notes * Submission Deadline: March 12, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notifications of Acceptance: May 25, 2010 * Final Version Due: July 16, 2010 2. Workshop Proposals * Submission Deadline: March 26, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: April 26, 2010 * Workshop Call for Papers Distribution: May 10, 2010 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) * Submission: June 25, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: July 26, 2010 * Final Version Due: August 6, 2010 1. Papers and Notes Ubicomp 2010 welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems and their applications. Ubicomp 2010 will include a highly selective single-track program of full papers and notes. Full Papers (10-page submissions) and Notes (4-page submissions that are not works in progress) are due at the same time and will be reviewed by the same committee using the same review process to ensure a uniform quality between Full Papers and Notes. All papers (Full Papers and Notes) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research or experience, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. They will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing, and technical correctness. Submissions must not have been previously published or be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in the CfP. Papers should be formatted according to the Ubicomp ACM Word or Latex template. Papers must include an abstract of no more than 150 words. Paper submissions have to be anonymized to facilitate double blind review. Authors should take care throughout their paper that their own and their institution’s identity is not revealed. However, relevant references to an author’s previous research (which may be required for reviewers to understand and evaluate the paper’s contribution) should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/papers Programm Chairs * Paddy Nixon, University College Dublin, Ireland * Khai Truong, University of Toronto, Canada 2. Workshops Ubicomp 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops be held on Sunday, September 26, prior to the main conference. The Workshops program will provide a forum for attendees to discuss specialized topics or topics of special interest. This year, we would especially encourage more ambitious workshops of two types. The first type is academic in nature and can be viewed as mini-tracks to the main conference. These workshops should have the potential to be sustainable and re-occur in the coming years. Hence, we are looking to host workshops with the ambition of setting up a program committee and aim for publication for improved versions of the workshop papers. The second type of workshops aims at building ubiquitous systems or applications at the day of the workshop. Hence, this type of workshops is a place for people to meet and design, build, or integrate ubiquitous systems. This may range from physical design mock-ups containing no technology, to a video prototype, to building an application on a hardware toolkit provided by the organizers. Such a workshop should feed directly into the other parts of the conference by producing a demo or a video for the demo and video program . Important dates and guidelines for the submission of the workshop proposals are available on the conference web site. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/Workshops Workshop Chairs * Louise Barkhuus, University of California, San Diego, USA * Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) The Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program track provides researchers with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Posters allow you to inform attendees about your work in person, demos allow you to showcase tangible results and communicate ideas and concepts in a powerful way, and videos allow you to visualize the results of your research and development efforts. Ubicomp 2010 newly combines these hitherto seperate tracks into an integrated, multimodal submission process: Submit your work both as a video and a demo; present a poster and show a video; or go for a combination of all three! A multimodal submission not only gets more “participant face-time”, but also increases its chances for acceptance: if the submission gets accepted in at least one of the tracks, it is implicitly accepted into the other tracks (subject to some basic quality control, of course). The basis of your Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program submission is a 2-page abstract that describes the technology being presented and discusses the novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches that it brings to the ubiquitous computing community. Even if you go multimodal, you are required to submit one abstract only. Depending on what tracks you are submitting to, you might need to provide supplemental material such as a poster sketch, a demo description, and/or a video.
