-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: U-NET'09 (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with ACM CoNext Datum: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:00:28 +0100 Von: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi (Appologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *(Now with a Technical Panel)* *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Technical Panel Discussion* U-NET'09 aims to be a forum to debate the technical challenges and impact of deploying user-provided networking technology. For this propose, this first edition of U-NET will host a technical discussion panel constituted by: * Shivendra S. Panwar, Professor at Polytechnic Institute of New York University, USA * James Kempft, Senior Architect at Ericsson Research, USA * David Kennedy, Director at Eurescom GmbH, Germany * Jordi Vallejo, CTO at FON Wireless Ltd, Spain * David Trossen, Chief Researcher at British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format.

Events provide a natural abstraction of happenings in the real world. The concept of events has a long history in foundational sciences such as philosophy and linguistics. After first developing objects-based and entity-based approaches, computer science research is now addressing the concept of events and building many applications that consider events at least as important as objects. Consequently, we find many different solutions and approaches for modeling, detecting, and processing events. In addition, we find different applications that are based on events and make use of events. Conferences and workshops on events in computer science typically deal with the capturing, processing, and management of low-level events such as publish/ subscribe-approaches, middleware-based architectures, complex event processing, and event stream processing. Although this work is very essential for an efficient execution of the applications build on top of such approaches, the understanding of the concept of events is disconnected from the domain-level of events that the actual users of such applications have to deal with. However, considering multimedia data, its semantics is naturally closely tied to the event(s) it documents. The workshop focuses on how to detect, model, and process domain-level events and applications that make use of domain-level events in the context of multimedia data. We aim at bringing together researchers from the different fields that are interested in understanding the concept of events on domain-level. We invite original work in the areas of domain event modeling, detection of events from multimedia data, processing of events, organization of multimedia data using events as unifying mechanism, and applications of these techniques. The submissions should explicitly explain how they deal with the events of the considered domain and what kind of benefit is provided to the users by using events. Example application areas for events are multimedia-based experience sharing, lifelogs, emergency response, cultural heritage, news, surveillance, and others. The participants of the workshop will gain an insight into the current state-of-the-art of computer science research on domain-level events. They will get concrete examples of how events can be leveraged for human-centered research and how it can be detected, processed, modeled, and used for creating human- centered applications. They will also have the opportunity to discuss their approach with other researchers from the multimedia community in the hands-on part of the workshop. Topics ------ Research topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: O Event Detection and Processing in Multimedia Data o Recognition of events from large scale, unreliable and/or noisy media data and media streams o Event clustering towards domain level-events o Combining low-level events with domain-level events O Event Representation and Event Models o Modeling of events on domain-level o Ontology-based representation of events o Languages for events o Formal modeling of events, activities, accomplishments, achievements, context, and other related concepts o Reasoning with events under consideration of causality, uncertainty, similarity, and others o Semantic description and annotation for events and event sources O Events in the Context of Web 2.0 o Collaborative event creation and sharing o Events in social networks o Event syndication (e.g., RSS) and attention management O Architectures for Event Management o Middleware solutions for event management o Event-driven architectures o Experimental methodologies o Domain-specific solutions for event management such as for emergency response O Applications and Tools o Event-based applications and tools o Authoring of events o Events in mobile computing and ubiquituous computing o Applications that show benefits of using events in practical settings o User experience, requirements, use cases, and evaluations of event-based applications Paper Submission, Review, and Publication ----------------------------------------- Submissions for the workshop must follow the standard style guidelines of the ACM Multimedia conference. They shall be submitted in PDF format and not be longer than 8 pages. Papers will be submitted using the EDAS system of ACM Multimedia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for paper for Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks Datum: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:13:35 +1000 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4.

Regards, Ioannis Psaras. ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style, using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references and appendices.

16 Jun '09

Call for Papers The Second IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-09) (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON09/) In Conjunction With IEEE APSCC 2009, December 7th-11th, 2009 Biopolis, Singapore ================================================================== Aims and Scope The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von09. The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. The enhanced version of the best-quality selected papers that have been presented at VON 2009 may be invited for publication in the special issue of international journals.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MMSys 2010 Datum: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:38:32 -0400 Von: Ketan Mayer-Patel <kmp(a)cs.unc.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Paper ACM Multimedia Systems 2010 February 22-23, 2010 Scottsdale, Arizona www.mmsys.org Sponsored by SIGMM in cooperation with SIGCOMM and SIGOPS Over the years, ACM SIG Multimedia has received numerous requests to create a multimedia systems conference, targeted at the systems aspects of handling audio, image, video, and graphics data. We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2009 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 domians 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 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. 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.
