-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 07:52:33 -0500 Von: Fran Spinola <spinola(a)HQ.ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Fran Spinola <spinola(a)HQ.ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG HotMobile 2010 The Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Annapolis, MD, USA February 22-23, 2010 http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2010, the eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs.

[Tccc] CFP: Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks (UBSN 2010)
by Shu, Lei 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ Call for Papers ============================================================ 2010 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks (UBSN 2010) http://sites.google.com/site/ubsn2010 In conjunction with The 5th International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON 2010) http://www.wicon.org/ ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been increased investigation into new types of wireless sensor networks located on or around the human body, which are generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following continuous advances in wireless communication technologies, there has been growing interest in the design, development and deployment of BSN systems in applications for improving people's daily life, which has led to an increased demand for interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance systems, WPAN, WLAN, the Internet, and cellular networks. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs have become ubiquitous. As a result of this, and due to an increased demand for advanced e-healthcare management systems in recent years, the marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and related services have greatly increased. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are closely integrated with a person's everyday life are being generated. For example, by using BSNs to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnostic assistance and action handling, better e-healthcare management systems can be designed for providing more desirable services. In this workshop, we solicit research papers (regular papers and posters) on hardware for body sensors, system architectures, networking and communication protocols, applications, testbeds and prototypes, biomedical sensor data processing and sensor data management. In particular, we are interested in the following communication issues: * Intra-BSN Communication: The term "intra-BSN communication" defines communications directly related to the user (within radio coverage of about 2 meters), which consists of two categories: (1) the communications amongst the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body, implanted inside the body, or attached within in the person's clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. * Inter-BSN communication: The term "inter-BSN communication" defines communications between the personal server and one or more access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of a home or work infrastructure, or strategically placed within a dynamic environment for handling emergency situations. Inter-BSN communications will interconnect BSNs with the wide range of networks which are easily accessible in daily life. * Beyond-BSN communication: Beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect a BSN with the outside world, which enhances the application possibilities and brings the coverage / range of body sensor systems a step further via pervasive communication technologies, such as the Internet and cellular networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/workshop are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications * Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues * Ambulatory monitoring (activity monitoring, fall detection, cardiac and wellbeing monitoring) and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications * Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms, e.g., new operating systems, middleware, etc. * Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors * Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications * Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring * Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks * Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling * Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration * Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion * MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication * Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks * Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis * Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach * Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks * Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks * Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates: * Submission Deadline: October 15, 2009 (EST) * Acceptance Notice: November 15, 2009 * Final Manuscript: November 25, 2009 * Publication Date: March 1-3, 2010 Submission Instructions Please submit your paper(s) in PDF format to: * Min Chen, minchen(a)ece.ubc.ca and * Lei Shu, lei.shu(a)ieee.org All submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee and will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to workshop. For regular paper: The page length limit is 9 pages in IEEE double column format pages (including figures, tables, and references) with font size not smaller than 9 points. For poster paper: The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research.

Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged networks where communication opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks. Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel architectures * Routing protocols * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques * Dissemination and replication techniques * Opportunistic networking in P2P systems * Social-aware opportunisitc networking * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networking applications * Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks * Multimodal urban sensing * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM.

We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2010 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems * 3D and Multiview Streaming Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Short papers (3-6 pages) are also encouraged and will be evaluated for inclusion in a short-paper track. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons.

[MM-INTEREST] Web of Things 2010 (WoT 2010): Call for Papers
by Erik Wilde 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

First International Workshop on the Web of Things (WoT 2010) http://www.webofthings.com/wot/2010 Call for Papers In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010), Mannheim, Germany http://www.percom.org/ Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2009 Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009 Camera-ready papers due: January 29, 2010 Workshop date: March 29 or April 2, 2010 The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes over the past few years as real-world objects can now easily connect to the Internet. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges. The Internet of Things has mainly focused on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments, and the next logical step in the evolution in pervasive computing builds on top of network connectivity by focusing on the application layer: how to develop ubiquitous computing applications on top of heterogeneous devices? The Web of Things is the vision that brings embedded devices into the Web by using Web standards as application protocol to interact with things. This workshop aims at bringing together the pervasive computing and Web communities to explore the possibilities for using the core principles and technologies of modern Web architecture (e.g., HTTP, REST, Atom, JSON) for seamless integration of things into the Web and developing applications on top of web-enabled devices (physical mashups). Research contributions are solicited in the following areas: - Web-based interaction patters for embedded devices (streaming, eventing, etc.) - Applications, deployments, and evaluation of Web of things systems - Human-things interaction models and paradigms (mobile interfaces etc.) - User-oriented, context-aware discovery and dynamic search for the real world - Web composition and macro-programming models (e.g. mashups) - Semantic technologies for description of devices and services - Optimization methods for embedded Web servers and applications - Security, access control, and physical sharing of physical things on the Web Since this workshop is the first in this area, the goal is to develop a community in this area and provide an interactive forum for researchers to learn and discuss about existing efforts to enable cross-fertilization. Hence, we expect all attendees to read all workshop papers in advance and to prepare questions for each. Presentations shall specifically highlight and address similarities and differences wit other accepted papers. This will help to provide a forum to foster future collaboration, beyond the mere presentation of research results. In order to ensure a high-quality technical session, submissions must cover one of the topics above and should not exceed six (6) IEEE conference format pages.

[Tccc] Call for Papers: LOCAN 2009 (Submission Deadline September 01, 2009)
by Hannes Frey 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs. Important Dates --------------- Manuscript Submission: September 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: October 15, 2009 General Co-Chairs ----------------- David Simplot-Ryl, Univ. Lille 1 and INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Ivan Stojmenovic, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs ----------------- Nathalie Mitton, INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Xu Li, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Publicity Chair --------------- Hannes Frey, University of Paderborn, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

================= - Due to several requests we are extending the deadline of the BuildSys workshop to August 27, 2009, 11:59 pm GMT - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ================= ================================================================================ C A L L F O R P A P E R S **** ACM BuildSys 2009 **** (In conjuction with ACM SenSys 2009) Berkeley California November 3 2009 (http://buildsys.ucd.ie/) ================================================================================ ACM BuildSyS 2009, "The First ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings". Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges in monitoring how the space is used, controlling devices, interfacing with smart energy meters and communicating with the energy grid. This includes developing energy efficient algorithms of control systems, integrating heterogeneous devices, personalizing and presenting data to generate energy awareness. These challenges include making sensed data available to any connected device, facilitating reasoning from multiple sources of data achieving global energy conservation over a combination of different systems, and devising control systems that support a multitude of network actuators. We solicit contributions that focus on the design of architectures that are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of particular interest is also the application of sensing and actuation technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to generate energy from federated small energy sources such as microgrids and local green energy sources. Successful papers will demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. We expect concise papers (max. 6 pages) presenting results from field trials, theoretical and practical issues of improving energy-efficiency in buildings by using embedded sensing systems written from both an academic and an industrial perspective.
