-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Human Behaviour in Ubiquitous Environments Datum: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:18:26 +0000 Von: Mirco Musolesi <musolesi(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Human Behaviour in Ubiquitous Environments Ubiquitous computing advocates interaction through calm technology whereby users sense and control what directly interests them, while retaining tangential awareness of other informational opportunities that they can at any time choose to focus on. This requires seamless access to media, information sharing and communication through heterogeneous systems, which are distributed and may be deeply embedded in the physical environment. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to deepen our understanding of human behaviour in context and its impact on technological issues relevant to ubiquitous environments. Research in this area is rapidly gaining importance and has become an essential part of pervasive and mobile computing systems. This special issue solicits original papers that contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and its impact on the design, development and use of applications in mobile and ubiquitous settings. Submissions can focus on theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to: * Data capture and knowledge discovery for user modelling in ubiquitous environments * Machine learning techniques applied to socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Experience design in socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Human-computer interaction issues in ubiquitous environments * Detecting and using patterns of human behaviour in ubiquitous computing * Modelling and recognition of user activity, mobility and context * Social computing applications in human-centred ubiquitous environments * Pervasive user-generated content: applications, systems and practices * Applications in mobile and ubiquitous environments for learning, business, social computing, travelling, arts, entertainment, gaming, healthcare and virtual worlds. Submissions should be of high standard for an international, archival research journal, and will be reviewed according to the strict standards of the PMC journal. Papers should not have been submitted or published elsewhere but could be extended or refined versions of conference papers with significant new, original material. Extended versions or refined versions of conference papers are expected to differ from the conference version by at least 30% across all sections - authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>). The deadline for submitting manuscripts is March 1, 2009 and authors will be notified of the decision by June 1, 2009. The final manuscripts will be due October 1, 2009. Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues (under the "Human Behaviour" topic), using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc.

[Tccc] Deadline Extension: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Kemal Akkaya 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ================================================= Deadline Extended to Dec. 20th, 2008. -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due (Extended Deadline): December 14th, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership. The font size should be at least 10 and the number of pages should not exceed 15. IEEE transaction style is preferable.

You are welcome to forward this to friends and colleagues working in the field. Thanks and kind regards, Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 <http://www.cttc.es/home/mdohler> www.cttc.es/home/mdohler _____________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs also face significant design challenges, including their limited computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors, and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms, distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE 802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: * to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and * to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and practically viable wireless sensor networking solution. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: * performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without imperfections, etc.) * data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) * protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) * cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel coding, etc.) * cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed signal processing, etc.) * key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch., abstraction, ease of programming, etc.) * interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html).

by S. Masoud Sadjadi 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing Barcelona, Spain, June 15-19, 2009 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 IEEE Computer Society (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.

CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems, SAHNS 2009 at ICDCS 2009, Montreal Datum: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:00:20 -0500 Von: Leszek T. Lilien <llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu> Antwort an: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Organisation: WMU An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate it to your colleagues that could be interested. ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS SAHNS 2009 The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/ In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. As all conferences published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS), ICDCS proceedings will be indexed through INSPEC, the leading English-language bibliographic information service for scientific and technical literature. ICDCS proceedings will also be submitted for indexing to EI's Engineering Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson's Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and Current Contents on Diskette (ISI Thomson). We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Announcing the 2009 MANIAC Challenge]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Announcing the 2009 MANIAC Challenge Datum: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 11:00:45 -0500 Von: Luiz DaSilva <ldasilva(a)vt.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Announcing the 2009 Mobile Ad-hoc Networking Interoperability And Cooperation (MANIAC) Challenge The MANIAC Challenge is an NSF-funded competition to better understand cooperation and interoperability in ad hoc networks. The 2nd MANIAC Challenge will be held on March 8-9, 2009, in conjunction with IEEE PerCom in Galveston, Texas. At the MANIAC Challenge, competing teams of students/researchers come together to form a large ad hoc network. The organizers generate traffic destined to each team. Each team can program its own cooperation strategy in the network, dynamically making forwarding and routing decisions. Teams are judged based on how much of the traffic destined to them makes it through the network, how little energy they consume in forwarding traffic, and a subjective evaluation of the quality of their strategy design. To get their traffic across the network, each team must rely on other teams' willingness to forward traffic for them. To participate, the first step is to check out our website at www.maniacchallenge.org <http://www.maniacchallenge.org/> . There you will find the software you need to download, how to get technical support, detailed description of the rules, photos from the 2007 MANIAC Challenge, etc. Hardware requirements are simple: commodity laptops and IEEE 802.11 cards. Feedback we received from student teams and faculty advisors who participated in the 2007 MANIAC Challenge was overwhelmingly positive. For the 2009 competition, we will again be offering some student travel grants to cover some of the travel expenses. We look forward to seeing you there! Please let us know of any suggestions, questions or comments. Best regards, Luiz A. DaSilva and Allen B.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15)]
by Lars Wolf 09 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15) Datum: Sun, 09 Nov 2008 11:10:23 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers ================================================================== Call for Papers The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 23th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-09), Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic 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: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ISAS/). 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. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: Nov. 15, 2008 Authors Notification: Dec. 6, 2008 Authors Registration: Dec. 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 22, 2008 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Jyh-How Huang, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Pablo Vidales, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Guang Yang, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] First CFP: IWCMC Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop
by Mieso Denko 08 Nov '08

08 Nov '08

======================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (PUC 2009) (http://www.cis.uoguelph.ca/~denko/IWCmcindex.html) To be held in conjunction with IWCMC 2009, June 21-24, 2009, Leipzig, Germany (http://iwcmc.com/index.htm) ======================================================== Aims and scope of the workshop ============================== At the same time as the number of connections, wired or wireless for each electronic device is increasing the number of electronic devices surrounding each individual is also multiplying. This will pave the way for the realisation of pervasive/ubiquitous computing where the user is making use of many devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of daily activities, without having to make effort or even being aware of them. These devices and systems will then collaborate and form together an ambient intelligence that offers personalised services to the user. However, in order to realise this exciting vision, it is necessary to address and find solutions to many challenges such as seamless access, device and service discovery, service continuity, middleware for pervasive computing, identity, privacy, security, trust, etc. The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop will serve as an ideal meeting place for developers, researchers, practitioners, and educators who are interested or working within the field of mobile, pervasive/ubiquitous computing. It will, hopefully, act as a catalyst for the realisation of the vision of pervasive computing. Topics of interest ================== Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: Technologies and devices for pervasive computing Applications and services of pervasive computing technologies Seamless access and Service continuity in pervasive computing Customisation and personalisation of services Context-aware services Device and service discovery in pervasive computing Middleware for pervasive computing Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Identity management in pervasive computing Intelligent and smart environments Opportunistic pervasive computing Autonomic management of ubiquitous systems Submission Guidelines ===================== The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop welcomes novel and unpublished papers in the field of Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of IWCMC2009 main conference, by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in a Special Issue of an International Journal (pending) after further extension. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6827&. Important Dates ================ Paper Submission Deadline: 20 December 2008 Paper Acceptance Notification: 25 March 2009 Camera-ready Paper Submissions: 15 April 2009 Registration Deadline for Authors: 15 April 2009 Workshop Chairs ================ Do van Thanh, Telenor R&I, Norway, thanh-van.do[AT]telenor.com Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada, denko[AT]cis.uoguelph.ca Technical Program Committee (in progress) ========================================= Han-Chieh Chao, National Ilan University, Taiwan Jianhua He, Swansea University, UK Thuan Do, Linus AS, Norway Paal Engelstad, University of Oslo / Telenor R&I, Norway Michael Gardner, University of Essex, UK Mario Freire, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Boning Feng, Oslo University College, Norway Dong Seong Kim, Duke University, USA Tore Jonvik, Oslo University College, Norway Zakaria Maamar, Zayed University, UAE Petri Pulli, University of Oulu, Finland Var Jorstad, Ubisafe AS, Norway Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Ching-Hsien Hsu, Chung Hua University, Taiwan Zheng Yan, Nokia, Finland _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
