[Tccc] CFP: Third Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble, Mobile Ubiquitous Systems (ADAMUS 2009)
by Luca Foschini 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers __________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: Third Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems ADAMUS 2009 In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'09), to be held in London, UK, July 13-17, 2009 ( ICPS '09 web site : [1]http://http://icpsconference.org/2009/ ADAMUS web site : [2]http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS'08 CfP pdf : [3]http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ CFP_adamus09.pdf ) WORKSHOP SCOPE __________________________________________________________________ Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services offered to and provided by mobile systems at any time and in any place. This new scenario asks for effec- tive solutions to design, develop, and maintain novel ubiquitous services notwithstanding abrupt changes and challenging depend- ability requirements imposed by the highly heterogeneous and er- ror-prone mobile provisioning environment. However, currently de- ployed mobile systems are often too inflexible and unable to rapidly adapt to change and this in turn leads to situations where quality-of-service and quality-of-experience are strongly and negatively affected. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. As an ex- ample, Resilience, or "the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various faults and challenges to normal operation", is being recognized more and more as a fundamental attribute for truly effective mo- bile and ubiquitous services of today and tomorrow. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerg- ing mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to provide analytical and sim- ulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mo- bile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last two editions, ADAMUS 2009 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of dis- cussion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adap- tive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. In particular, the focus of this Workshop edition will be on service continuity de- fined as the ability to grant continuous distribution of mobile ubiquitous service despite the occurrence of potentially signifi- cant and sudden changes or faults in the infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Researchers and practitioners are en- couraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: * Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Resilience software engineering for mobile systems and services; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infr- astructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and standards for heter- ogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement studies of mobile systems and services. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2009 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style. All submissions will be handled electronically.

[KuVS ELG] Conferences of the Int. Teletraffic Congress (ITC) in 2009
by Paul J. Kuehn 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hello, dear members of the ITG Working Groups 521 and 524, of the Extended Executive Committee of KUVS, of the Members of the Interest Group MMB, of the Institute IKR, the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) is by far the most experienced scientific and engineering conference dealing with performance modelling, traffic measurements and quality of service engineering. for telecommunications and computer networks. I am proud of having chaired the Int. Advisory Council (IAC) of the ITC for 16 years; since 2007 the new chairman/co-chairman are Prosper Chemoul/Professor Tran-Gia of Orange-FT-Group and the University of Wuerzburg, respectively. I contact you to draw your attention to two conference programs of the ITC in 2009: 1. 21st ITC World Congress Paris, France, September 15 - 17, 2009 Web: http://www.i-teletraffic.org/itc21/call-for-papers/ Submission Deadline: February 1st, 2009 2. 20th ITC Specialist Seminar on "Network Virtualization - Concepts and Performance Aspects" Hoi An, Viet Nam, May 18- 20, 2009 Web: http://www.itcspecialistseminar.com/itcss20/ Submission Deadline: January 12, 2009 You can find more details about these conferences at the websites. I would like to encourage you and members of your team to submit papers to these conferences or to solicit papers of experts in your community. German experts have formed traditionally a strong group in the ITC; the ITG Working Groups 521 and 524 as well as the GI/ITG Joint Working Groups on Communications and Distributed Systems(KUVS) and on Measuring, Modelling and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (MMB) reflect the high engagement of German experts from academia, equipment vendor industries and network operators in the related topics of performance modelling and engineering. During the last 8 years a new international conference series has been established, the Polish-German Teletraffic Symposium aiming at similar topics as the ITC. Several research teams from Germany participate in the Network of Excellence and other Research Programs of the European Union, dealing with the Next Generation Internet and Communication networks. The new Excellence Initiative of the DFG and German Government led to the foundation of Excellence Clusters dealing with topics of advanced research on mobile communications, simulation technologies and information technologies. So I think there is a graet potential for possible contributions from these communities to ITC events. Thank you very much for your cooperation ! Best regards, Paul J. Kuehn Chairman Emeritus of IAC of ITC -- -------------------------------------- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h. c. mult. Paul J.

[acf-members] CFP: 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication 2009
by David Lewis 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Apologies for duplicate postings ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications Barcelona, Spain, June 1519, 2009 Sponsored by IEEE CS (Pending) and in cooperation with ACM (Pending) http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/ Call for papers SCOPE To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computing systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications (ICAC-09) is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-management in computing systems and applications. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin, Jacksonville and Chicago. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing, particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. * Software engineering principles and architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems in standalone, distributed, cluster, and Grid computing environments (e.g., health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. * Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, etc., tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. * Applications of autonomics to real and complex problems in science, engineering, business and society. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-09 review process. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-09 conference web site. Formatting instructions will also be posted at the web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by ACM (to be confirmed), which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers/poster are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-09 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be properly addressed in the main scientific program. ICAC-09 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION A singular value of ICAC is the confluence of top researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. ICAC-09 will provide a readout of various technologies currently in play from product perspectives. Among the areas to be addressed are core enablers for autonomic capabilities to be realized, such as frameworks, protocols and autonomic engines in production systems. The industry session also will address current areas of difficulty that present direct opportunities for both academic and corporate research. Topics will be relevant to entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users. Papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives are especially encouraged and can be submitted as described above. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (held at IPSN 2009)
by Panangadan, Anand V 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (ESSA 2009) Held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) San Francisco, CA, USA April 16, 2009 Wireless sensor networks and their applications have grown steadily during the past decade as a result of the convergence of various technologies spanning wireless, data processing algorithms, computing hardware, storage, and sensor capabilities. The pervasive nature of static and mobile sensors scattered throughout the environment enables multi-resolution capture of environmental or ambient information that serve as the basis of intelligence for knowledge inference and decision-making. Information processing for sensor networks enables new capabilities to operate autonomously and learn, perceive, reason, and react intelligently to their environments. Large scale sensor networks are now being used in a number of Earth and Space Science applications, including large-area terrestrial systems for geologic monitoring, volcano/plume monitoring, seismic (earthquake) monitoring, large-scale ocean monitoring for tsunamis, storm surges, plumes, algae blooms, and weather forecasting systems comprised of aerial and ground/coastal nodes. Such Earth and Space sensor networks are now evolving from "passive observation and reporting systems" to "active and reactive systems" that dynamically evolve in response to complex and rapid spatio-temporal events. This workshop is a forum for scientists and researchers to present new ideas and papers on sensor networks applications in the areas of Earth and Space Science. Papers on all aspects of Earth and Space Applications can be submitted to this workshop. We expect this workshop to have invited papers as well as contributed papers. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, are: - Monitoring of long range and large-scale phenomena - Geologic and Seismic monitoring - Chemical plumes and other atmospheric events - Oceanic events prediction and monitoring - Sensor networks applications in near space and deep space - Data fusion, compression, and processing for sensorwebs - Simulation, emulation, and experiments on sensor networks for Earth and Space Science - Databases, data search/mining technologies and knowledge extraction mechanisms from sensor networks in Earth and Space Science - Information management, and data visualization and display techniques for sensor networks - Signal processing, control, and resource management solutions for sensor networks - AI and machine learning for sensor networks - Intelligent networking and routing protocols for optimal operation of large-scale sensor networks Dates: Submission: February 2, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: March 7, 2009 Final Version Due: March 22, 2009 Webpage: http://viterbi.usc.edu/ESSA2009 General Chair: Srikanta Kumar, BAE Systems Program Co-Chairs: Ashit Talukder, JPL and Cauligi Raghavendra, USC _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Call for Papers Journal of Communications (JCM) Special Issue on Multimedia Communications, Networking and Applications URL: http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_mcna.html With the advancement of multimedia signal processing/compression technology and wide deployment of wired/wireless networks, there is an increasing demand of multimedia communication services. Advanced multimedia processing often aims at optimizing the satisfaction of human perceptual system and introduces higher dependency among its processed data, which exhibit different requirement from traditional data communication. Besides, modern communication networks explore multi-dimensional diversity, such as user, frequency, and location; and utilize finer granularity of resources, such as power and spectrum. When transmitting multimedia over communication networks, there are many issues needed to be investigated to improve the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. For example, how to deploy the cross-layer design methodology to explore the characteristics in the multimedia signal processing unit and communication networks; and optimize the QoS subject to available resources. When multiple nodes and multimedia sources are involved in the networks, one potential issue is how to allocate resources to each node and source to enhance the end-to-end QoS requirement. == Topics == The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cross-layer architecture design for multimedia transmission * Content/Network-aware cross-layer design and optimization * QoS-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control * Performance evaluation of cross-layer multimedia transmission design * Joint source and network coding * Cross-layer design for P2P streaming * Ad hoc and infrastructure-based overlay network communication * Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks * Distributed wireless video communications * Multimedia delivery over wireless mesh network * Noncollaborative/collaborative resource management for multi-stream transmission * Cooperative multimedia communications in multihop wireless networks * Error resilience and error concealment techniques for multimedia communications == Important Dates == Submission Deadline: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: May 31, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: June 30, 2009 Publication Date: September 2009 == Submission == Submissions should follow the guidelines of Journal of Communications.

College London, UK Technical Program Chairs: Qibin Sun, Hewlett-Packard, China Yong Rui, Microsoft, China --- WORKSHOP CFP 1st IEEE Workshop on Media Information Analysis for Personal and Social Applications (W'MAPS 2009) <http://www.icme09.org/workshop/WMAPS09> July 3rd, 2009 Hilton Cancun, Cancun, Mexico in conjunction with 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) The proliferation of mobile multimedia devices and social networks has led to an explosion of digital media content being created, resulting in large personal and public multimedia databases in which it has become increasingly difficult to retrieve specific content and browse the large collections. In the absence of manual annotation specifying the content of the media (in the form of captions or tags), most current content management software only allow simple browsing and navigation options; which severely limits the search and other advanced functionality. This is complicated by the available types of media such as images, video, music, speech, text, and graphics, and the relationship and interactions among them. In addition to personal collections located at home PCs and laptops, the wide spread popularity of media and social networking sites such as Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Easyshare Gallery has enabled users to share and browse images and videos. However, due to the huge magnitude and variety of media content, it is increasing difficult for users and consumers to easily navigate, search, compose, and share their content and memories. When we consider the multimedia information available on public web sites, we will be confronting with a big scalability issue with many existing techniques and algorithms. Solutions that address the broad spectrum of personal and social multimedia applications are needed. The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers from academy and industry to discuss the advances and challenges of information processing, analysis, and retrieval for multimedia applications in personal and social domains. We propose to explore emerging areas of research such as cross-media and cross-domain information analysis and extraction, which will enhance current capability of information management applications and enrich the overall multimedia experience. Another area is to leverage rich metadata and contextual information associated with the media content. These include GPS, date/time, captions/tags, camera settings, face and other biometric information. The advances in user interface technologies incorporating speech and gesture recognition will also play an important role in enabling more user friendly and easy to use multimedia applications in the consumer domain. We welcome papers that address fundamental research issues in this challenging area, with emphasis on personal and social applications. We also encourage papers to report on system level research related to multimedia and cross-media analysis, processing, and retrieval. A number of invited papers will also be solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cross-media information analysis and extraction - Machine learning algorithms for media information analysis and extraction - Object, feature, and relation extraction from media - Semantic content understanding and recognition - Context-aware analysis of media and cross-media content - High dynamic range image processing and retrieval - Reasoning and cross-domain learning methodologies - Intra- and inter-media representation and ontology for cross media - Multimedia browsing/visualization tools and cross-media query - Metadata analysis for semantic annotations of multimedia content - Semi-automatic and automatic annotation methods for media content - Media information processing, delivery, and management - Synchronization of media objects for cross media analysis - User interface method for media browsing and search - Speech and gesture interface for consumer multimedia applications - System level research for media and cross-media applications Important Dates (Please note that dual submissions to both the main ICME conference and workshop will not be accepted.) Paper submission deadline: Feb. 14, 2009 Notification of acceptance: March 20, 2009 Final camera-ready paper deadline: March 31, 2009 Workshop date: Friday, July 3, 2009 Alexander Loui and Susanto Rahardja Workshop Co-Chairs Lekha Chaisorn and Daniel Gatica-Perez Technical Program Co-Chairs --- http://www.icme09.org ---------------------------- (3394 wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS LIST You are receiving this email because you have participated previous ICME events.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP MMVE09 at IEEE VR Datum: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:59:12 +0100 Von: Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2009) at the IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality 2009 (VR09) March 15th, 2009 Lafayette, Louisiana, USA http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ -------------------------------------------------------- With the increasing number of potential users of virtual and augmented reality systems, as indicated by the recent boom of massively multiuser online societies, the design of distributed, massively multiuser virtual environments becomes more and more important, posing new requirements on both distribution platforms and virtual reality systems. Facing these challenges is a community- spanning effort, necessitating the pooling of the resources and experiences of the virtual reality and the networking and distributed computing communities. The aim of this workshop is to provide a link between these communities to foster the development of highly distributed, flexible and robust virtual environments. Following up on last year's very successful workshop (MMVE'08) at IEEE VR, we aim to gather the practitioners and researchers in these fields under one roof to discuss their findings, incite collaboration, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The main topic of this workshop is to provide a critical analysis of existing distribution approaches for virtual environments and to identify key challenges and techniques that are required for bringing VR systems into the global Internet, interconnecting thousands of users in a single environment. More specifically, the workshop addresses the following issues: 1. Scalability, i.e. the ability to handle thousands of (possibly nearby) users at the same time, interacting via the global Internet. 2. Interoperability, i.e. the ability to integrate multiple virtual worlds and/or service providers, e.g. using common protocols or universal clients. 3. Interactivity, i.e. how to provide highly responsive environments with near real time interaction despite network delay and jitter. 4. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) end user devices, e.g. the integration of mobile devices for nomadic augmented reality applications. 5. Dynamic and flexible distribution architectures, e.g. self-adapting client/server, peer-to-peer and hybrid architectures. 6. Content streaming, e.g. sound and 3D streaming. 7. Consistency, i.e. providing consistency guarantees to users of the distributed environment, despite the high level of responsiveness necessary and the experienced network delay. 8. Persistency, i.e. the ability to save and access the state of the virtual environment despite disconnections and faulty components. 9. Security and privacy, e.g. distributed authentication algorithms that allow users to participate in the environment securely and without fear of being spied on. 10. Implementation issues, e.g. novel approaches to effectively manage the complexity of developing applications for such environments. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely- related one. Submitted papers should be about 5-6 pages long, use the IEEE proceedings format and *must be blinded*. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer- reviewed (double-blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submissions in PDF format must be submitted online through the workshop page at http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ no later than January 30th, 2009. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication (IJAMC), subject to addressing all reviewer comments from MMVE and reformatting according to IJAMC formatting guidelines. If you have any questions, please email us at mmve(a)peers-at-play.org. Workshop Format -------------------------------------------- The workshop will have three parts. The first part will be an invited keynote talk. In the second part, we will have multiple sessions, each consisting of about 3 talks. The last part of the workshop will consist of a common panel discussion including all participants.

************************** 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ********************** NOTE: SUBMISSION DEADLINE CHANGE LoCA 2009 4th International Symposium on Location and Context Awareness May 7th-8th, 2009. Tokyo, Japan http://loca2009.context-aware.org Abstract submission deadline: January 9th, 2009 Paper submission deadline: January 16th, 2009 ********************************************************************* LoCA 2009 (May 7-8, Tokyo Japan) is the 4th International Symposium on Location and Context Awareness, with proceedings published in the LNCS series by Springer-Verlag. LoCA 2009 is co-located with Pervasive 2009 the Seventh International Conference on Pervasive Computing, which will be held May 11-14, 2009 in Nara, Japan. The 2009 Symposium on Location and Context Awareness (LoCA) seeks new and significant research on systems, services, and applications to detect, interpret and use location and other contextual information. Context includes physiological, environmental and computational data whether sensed or inferred. In addition, context includes users' activities, goals, abilities, preferences, interruptibility, affordances, and surroundings. With context, we can expect computers to deliver information, services, and entertainment in a way that maximizes convenience and minimizes intrusion. Developing awareness involves research in sensing, systems, machine learning, human computer interaction, and design. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. We are especially interested in submissions in the following areas but welcome submissions from other areas that are relevant to the theme of the symposium: * New hardware platforms for sensing location and context * Machine learning techniques for inferring user location and context from low-level sensor data * Location and context representation, management, and distribution * Privacy policies and communication protocols for location and context information * User studies of location- and context-aware systems * Industrial case studies of end-to-end systems One paper will be elected for a Best Paper Award by the LoCA program committee and is designed to recognize outstanding work. In addition, a combination of the LoCA program committee and all symposium participants will elect the recipient of the Best Presentation Award following the symposium. Both awards will be made during the symposium. Paper Submission Guidelines: All papers will be reviewed by our international program committee. LoCA 2009 aims to be selective and the committee will favor a technically robust program. The ideal LoCA submission should provide an insightful survey of existing work, introduce a radically new concept, or present concrete, significant, transferable research based on the implementation and evaluation of a working system. All accepted papers will be contained in the symposium proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 18 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the LoCA Symposium in the Tokyo. Submit papers as Adobe PDF via EDAS at http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6603. Preparation of the camera-ready version of accepted papers may be shepherded by the program committee. Best Paper and Presentation Awards: One paper will be elected for a Best Paper Award by the LoCA program committee to recognize outstanding work. In addition, a combination of the LoCA program committee and all symposium participants will elect the recipient of the Best Presentation Award following the symposium.
