Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20, 2008, and TSP-09 in Macau SAR, China, during October 12-14, 2009, “The Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10)” will be held in Bradford, UK, during June 29-July 1, 2010, in conjunction with “The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010)”, aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as technical, social, and cultural implications for all emerging devices, services, applications, networks, and systems, and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research area.

Please send to interested colleagues and students. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### 12th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services (MobileHCI 2010), September 7-10, 2010, Lisboa, Portugal *A Mobile World for All* http://www.mobilehci2010.org <http://www.mobilehci2010.org/> MobileHCI 2010 will be held September 7-10, 2010, in Lisboa, Portugal Doctoral Consortium Day, Workshops and Tutorials on September 7^th , 2010. MobileHCI 2010 is organised by the University of Lisboa, with the collaboration of the New University of Lisboa and the research centres LaSIGE and CITI, and in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGMOBILE. *Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings and will be included in the ACM digital library. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### /- Submission deadline: 9th April 2010, 23:59 GMT/ Chairs: Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic Design Brief The design competition of MobileHCI 2010 focuses on mobile accessibility. Mobile phones are one of the most pervasive technologies on earth: almost every person has access to a mobile device. Yet, little attention has been given to the design of the interface of these devices, or to its services, to include more equitably people with different abilities or cultures. A big challenge of mobile UI design is the physical input limitation. In most cases users only have a simple 5-way controller, a few selection keys, and a keypad to enter both text and numbers. Recently, top of the line devices also include touch screens that are able to recognize multi-finger interaction. Nevertheless, this seems to be still limiting when compared to the myriad of possibilities offered by other technologies. In particular, sensing technologies could be easily incorporated into mobile devices that could broaden the range of interaction capabilities. Related to the lack of input is the limitation of the output capabilities of these devices. Screens are small, thus showing information and creating visual cues is a challenging task for designers. The iPod comes to mind as a good example of design solution to the input/output challenge. Apple designers started from the users’ goals and the context in which the device had to be used. Accessibility for mobile devices is not just a hardware challenge. The design of software components has to adapt to people with different abilities and needs. For instance, the design of an interface for people with visual impairment has to adapt its visual components so to maximize readability while maintaining internal and external consistency. Finally, accessibility for such universal technology should take into account people belonging to different cultures. The most obvious example is related to languages that are written from right to left – something that interfaces developed for western cultures do not take into account. However, supporting multiple cultures is not just a matter of rendering text. The metaphors that are associated with elements of the interface are often fundamentally driven by the particular culture of the designer of that interface. The challenge for MobileHCI2010 consists in designing innovative software and/or hardware solutions for mobile devices that could allow people with different abilities or cultures to be supported in achieving their goals and satisfying their needs. We are seeking examples and case studies of solutions that are designed with the focus on users’ needs and context of use. The Design Competition The competition comprises of two parts: The selection of contestants prior to the conference – the review process The judging of the contributions at the conference – the award process The Award Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winners will be selected from the entries. Winners will receive: A certificate of acknowledgment presented at the closing session of the conference Acknowledgment on the conference web site A Telefonica Android phone for the winner More details: http://mobilehci2010.di.fc.ul.pt/Submissions/designCompetition.html If you have questions about the Design Competition for MobileHCI09, contact the Design Competition Chairs Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic at: designcompetition(a)mobilehci2010.org <mailto:designcompetition@mobilehci2010.org>

The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation * WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

Information Infrastructures have become a key building block of virtually all Critical Infrastructures (CIs) which are being built today, as well as of a plethora of critical applications. As such, the design and operation of Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs) is increasingly being characterized by challenging security and dependability requirements. This trend is unlikely to change in the future, due to a number of factors, including: i) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become commonplace in a number of application domains, ii) Commercial-Of -The-Shelf (COTS) components are being massively used for implementing Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, iii) subsystems are being connected using the infrastructure of the corporate Local Area Network (LAN), or even Wide Area Network (WAN) links, including the public Internet, and satellite trunks. The Member States have varying approaches to CIIP, but the success of CIIP programmes depends heavily on the cooperation and level of involvement that different stakeholders can achieve. This special session aims at sharing ideas towards the creation of a common approach for the establishment of requirements and needs to improve the protection of Critical Information Infrastructures. We are interested in projects addressing CIIP issues. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Dependability and resilience of Critical Information Infrastructures; * Use of WSNs in Critical Infrastructures; * Emerging vulnerabilities and threats to CIIs and CIs; * Experiences related to specific CIs (e.g. power grids, supply chains, financial applications, ...); * Middleware and network technologies for data distribution in CIs; * Identification, detection, diagnosis, and reaction to security threats in CIs.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: IWQoS 2010 Datum: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:06:42 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: itc(a)comsoc.org Apologies if you receive multiple copies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 16-18, 2010, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China http://www.ieee-iwqos.org/2010/cfp.html Improving quality of service (QoS) in both networks and end systems has been a long lasting research focus worldwide. The seventeen-year-long success of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to QoS. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to captivate much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Data centers, virtualization and cloud computing * Energy saving in networks and end systems; IT technologies to reduce energy consumption in applications * Protection, experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and DoS attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP and WDM networks, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Design for the future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/N8541). All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results.

The workshop will retain the LAN/MAN mainstay of Local and Metropolitan area networking, including edge applications. This year, the workshop will also focus on two compelling issues for edge networks that are currently experiencing significant change and innovation: the first is the design of scalable architectures for enterprise and data center networks. This area is motivated by the evolution of mega-scale data centers for which traditional layer-2 network designs simply do not scale, as well as the need to better design enterprise networks that carry increasing high bit-rate traffic. The second focus area is the design of scalable mechanisms and protocols for network management and trouble-shooting in home and enterprise networks. Currently, many of these issues are handled manually --- this practice is simply not scalable as home and enterprise networks get larger and user needs get more demanding. LAN/MAN seeks both theoretical and experimental contributions. Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking. We expect the workshop to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, and economic and service models. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged. We also encourage studies based on measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: * Broadband Wireless Access, including WiMAX * WiFi: roaming services, Architectures & Performance * Metropolitan & Residential Networks and Architectures including Ethernet in the First Mile, EPONs, FTTx etc. * IPTV, video delivery and applications * SANs and Storage over MANs * IEEE 802 standards * Optical WDM networks based on packet, burst, and flow switching * RFid protocols & performance * Topology adaptation, reconfigurability, routing * Network management related to Edge Networks * Heterogeneous Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks * Ubiquitous wireless, wired and remote access * Adaptive wireless networks including cognitive radios * Measurement, modeling and performance evaluation * Cross layer QoS, dynamic bandwidth allocation, capacity placement/provisioning * Network reliability and survivability * Network security * Pricing, multi-vendor interoperability * LAN and MAN based applications (gaming, distributed computing, media distribution to and in the home, enterprise applications, ambient technology, wearable-computing) * Impact of sensors everywhere including homes *Paper Registration: February 5, 2010, 8 pm EDT * Paper Submission: February 12, 2010, 8 pm EDT Poster Submission: March 10, 2010, 8 pm EDT Paper Notification: March 20, 2010 Camera-ready Submission: April 10, 2010 Workshop Dates: May 5-7, 2010 PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE LAN/MAN 2010 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and must present the paper at the conference.

Unlike existing wireless sensor networks which are composed of static sensors and sink nodes, wireless mobile sensor networks allows diverse entities to move within the network field all the time, e.g., mobile base station, mobile sensor nodes, mobile relay nodes, mobile cluster heads. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research challenging issues in both communication and data management aspects, e.g., challenges for localization in mobile sensor networks, challenges for providing coverage services by mobile sensor networks, and challenges for data collection in mobile sensor networks. On the other hand, these challenges in mobile sensor networks also provides lots of opportunities that researchers can leverage the mobility feature to exploring improvement for traditional solutions and methods in various aspects, e.g., node localization, network coverage, and data collection/streaming/management. This special issue is seeking papers working on these challenges of the mobile ad hoc and sensor networks from the academia researchers and the industry practitioners, as well as papers that addressing various hot topics of the mobile sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Data Aggregation and Data Dissemination in Mobile Sensor networks • Query Processing and Data Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Autonomic Computing with Mobile Sensor networks • Topology Control and Coverage Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Applications and Evolutions of Mobile Sensor networks • Physical Layer Design of Mobile Sensor networks • MAC Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control & Routing for Mobile Sensor networks • Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Mobile Sensor networks • Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile Sensor networks • Integrated Simulation and Test bed for Mobile Sensor networks • Measurement based Evaluation for Mobile Sensor networks • Distributed Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Pricing Modeling and Solutions with Mobile Sensor networks • Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile Sensor networks • Service Discovery for Mobile Sensor networks • Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Mobile Sensor networks • Mobile Service and QoS Management for Mobile Sensor networks • Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Mobile Sensor networks • Security, Trust and Privacy Issues in Mobile Sensor networks Submission: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web -- Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:17:48 +0100 Von: Philipp Kärger <kaerger(a)l3s.de> An: undisclosed-recipients:; [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS SPOT2010 Second International Workshop on Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web http://spot.semanticweb.org/2010/ Co-located with ESWC2010 (the 7th European / Extended Semantic Web Conference) The Semantic Web is becoming reality as it is an integrated component of the Web we are browsing everyday - be it the Open Linked Data movement that nowadays exposes over 10 billion triples of RDF or the annotated and structured information available on Web pages used by major search engines, such as Yahoo! SearchMonkey and Google. Moreover, social data about people and their interaction is made available in machine-understandable format in projects like FOAF or SIOC. Facing this amount of data, privacy and trust consideration is an important step to take right now. The challenging research questions arising from this movement include: * How do people know that the data gathered from several sources for reasoning purposes can be trusted? * How can one avoid that personal data exposed on the Semantic Web will be combined with other available semantic data in a way that sensitive information may be revealed? * How shall a safe reasoning process look like that does not end up in a conflict only because a single Semantic Web peer exposed a contradiction? We expect discussions and results concerning questions like these at SPOT2010 leading to solutions and research results in the realm of Semantic Web and social data for the pervasive issue of privacy and trust on the Web. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================================ The list of topics that aims to be covered by the workshop include, but is not limited to: Semantic Technologies for Trust and Privacy on the Web * Privacy by generalization of answers * Ontologies for trust and privacy * Semantic Web policies * Usage control and accountability * Policy representation and reasoning * Semantic Web technologies for access control Trusted Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the Semantic Web * Data provenance and trustworthiness of knowledge sources * Trust-enabled linked data * Ontology hijacking * Scalability of trust and privacy on the Semantic Web Trust and Privacy for Social Applications * Trust and privacy in social online communities (e.g., SIOC) * Privacy in Semantic Web sharing applications (e.g., semantic desktop) * User profiling and modeling vs. privacy * Privacy and community mining * Trust and reputation metrics * Usage mining and policy extraction * Privacy awareness in social communities * The Semantic Web as a trust enabler * Social Network annoyance, social software fatigue, social spam * Managing information overload on the Social Web with privacy metrics * Trust and privacy for social software on mobile devices SUBMISSIONS ================================ Papers will have to be formatted using the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions for the Research Papers and Demos and Applications will be made using the EasyChair Conference System, and proceedings of the papers will be provided through the CEUR online service. The following types of contributions are welcome: * Research Papers: short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 12 pages) technical papers that aims to explore how Semantic Web technologies can provide solutions to trust and privacy issues on the Web, focusing on one or more topics from the various ones identified within the main CFP. Especially, we very welcome papers focusing on theoretical work as well as applications regarding the benefits of Semantic Web technologies to solve these issues. The papers should clearly define the motivation of the work with relevant scenarios and should also provide a clear overview and evaluation of the benefits of the proposed approaches; * Demos and Applications: participants have to submit a two-page paper containing a demo description together with a URI where the demo is available on-line and meeting the following conditions: (1) It must use Semantic Web technologies (such as RDF, SPARQL, FOAF, SIOC, etc.); (2) It must deal with person or person-related semantic data (such as profiles, buddylists, reviews, comments, etc.) and (3) additionally, the demo may operate on a real social platform, such as MySpace, Facebook, netvibes or iGoogle. Papers shall be submitted in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spot2010 IMPORTANT DATES ================================ Submission deadline: March 7, 2010 (23:59 pm Hawaii time, GMT-10) Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2010 Camera-ready paper submission: April 18, 2010 Workshop: May 30 or May 31, 2010 WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION ================================ The workshop will be co-located with the ESWC in Heraklion (Greece), and will be held on the 30th or 31st of May 2010.

The effective design, implementation, and run-time support of smart applications in wide-scale pervasive environments are considered still very open challenges nowadays. Currently, the high costs still associated with the development of these smart applications are limiting their widespread adoption and their potential impact on the mass market of final users. Costs relevantly derive from the complexity of integrating already deployed heterogeneous systems, from differentiated sensors providing data in different formats via heterogeneous wireless technologies, and from nodes with differentiated capabilities/resources to highly heterogeneous legacy services. The First International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS 2010) aims at soliciting and promoting the discussion among academic/industrial researchers, practitioners in the field, and most relevant industry players about the above issue of cost reduction via interoperability, with the primary guideline of addressing interoperability of heterogeneous devices and systems via the adoption of proper semantic solutions for open smart spaces. The focus will be on novel and open innovation platforms for the effective sharing of interoperable information in smart environments: smart applications should have the possibility to effectively and easily access to highly interoperable and shared information spaces that maintain data/metadata of common interest (sensed monitored data, information about currently available resources/services, ). Contributions to SISS 2010 should address the technical challenges arising from emerging smart spaces, capable of openly including new devices, systems, applications, and final users, and to properly scale up to the challenging size of urban-wide scenarios. Visionary and early-stage work that is rigorously presented and can steer discussion to new topics is particularly welcome, as well as more solid and extensively evaluated work that reports practical and industrial experience in the field. The SISS 2010 workshop is organized by academic experts and industrial players also collaborating in a joint research project called Smart Objects for Intelligent Applications (SOFIA - http://www.sofia-project.eu), funded through the European Artemis programme. SISS 2010 topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Semantic interoperability of smart spaces; * Requirements of open innovation platforms; * Architectures and systems for interoperability in open smart environments; * Software engineering for reusability of interoperable information in smart environments; * Middleware for open smart spaces; * Semantic technologies and techniques for of interoperable information in smart environments; * Application design/deployment and development supports for open smart spaces; * User-to-device and device-to-device interaction models for smart environments; * Context abstraction and usability for smart environment applications; * Practical experiences and experimental evaluations of testbeds and field trials for open smart spaces; * Industrial reports about the exploitation of information interoperability solutions for open smart spaces; * Smart personal spaces; * Smart spaces for the house of the future; * Smart spaces for future cities. _Paper Submission _Papers should be written in English. They should not exceed six (6) pages in length in IEEE double column proceedings format, including all figures, tables, and references (papers exceeding this limit will not be reviewed). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers, including at least two TPC members. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - WiNMee 2010 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:14:05 +0000 Von: Tristan Henderson <tristan(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ============================================================= Our apologies for duplicated copies of this CFP. ============================================================= WiNMee 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th International workshop on Wireless Network Measurements May 31, 2010, Avignon, France http://www.thlab.net/winmee10/ Scope The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. To better understand the nature of these changes, it is important to evaluate these technologies 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 solicit 6-page papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - operational experience of the performance of wireless networks - challenges with wireless measurements - experimental (in) validation of simulation or mobility models and assumptions in a wireless environment - metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting - experience from building/designing wireless networks - descriptions of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) - large-scale or federated testbed measurements - techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration - techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed - techniques for measuring heterogenous wireless networks - techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data - new measurement hardware platforms, e.g., cognitive radio Important dates: Paper registration deadline: February 17th, 2010 Paper submission deadline: February 24th, 2010 Notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2010 Camera-ready papers due: April 23rd, 2010 Workshop date: May 31st, 2010 Keynote speakers To be announced shortly.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts would be submitted in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. In addition to the full-length research papers (limited to 8 pages), the workshop invites vision papers (limited to 5 pages).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM HotPlanet 2010 workshop (co-located with ACM MobiSys) - Call For Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:48:08 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fehmi(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurements (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Submission deadline: March 7, 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.

For NOSSDAV 2010, we will accept papers on a broad ranges of topics related to the transmission and presentation of digital audio/video objects. We are particularly interested in soliciting articles that discuss systems-level support for distributed social networking, as well as papers that focus on local dispatching and performance aspects of multi-core processors. Other topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * OS, middleware and network support * Overlay networks * Media streaming, distribution and storage support * Web 2.0 systems and social networks * Media sensor and ad hoc networks / Embedded systems * Multicore architecture support * Wireless and mobile multimedia systems / Network processor support * Networked GPU's, graphics and virtual environments * Networked games / Real-time immersive systems * Multimedia communications and system security Please contact the workshop general and program chairs to check if your topic is within the scope of NOSSDAV. In all cases, the quality of presentation (writing style, clarity for persons outside the direct field) will play a role in submission evaluation. This year's review process will contain a number of experimental components. One of these is ability for authors and reviewers to participate in a double-open review procedure. In this voluntary trial, the names of the submitting authors AND the names of the participating reviewers will be made available during the process. (We hope that 25% of the submissions will participate in this experiment.) Submissions should be at most SIX pages, using standard ACM proceedings style. Each submission should contain a one-page extended abstract that explains the core contributions of the work to a wide NOSSDAV audience. Authors of papers selected by the program committee (and one wild-card paper selected by NOSSDAV participants) will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal.
