While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages). Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program committee and are selected according to their originality, quality, and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted papers will appear in the KIVS Workshop proceedings. For accepted papers at least one author must register with the workshop and give a presentation at the workshop. Submissions must follow the KIVS formatting guidelines and must not exceed the given page limits. Note that contributions in English as well as in German are welcome.

This call for papers also has the venue hotel updated. ************************************************************************************* +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Hotmobile 2009 The Tenth Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Hilton Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, CA, USA www.hotmobile.org/2009/ +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ACM HotMobile 2009, the Tenth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2009 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 13, 2008 at 23:59:59 PDST. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. Unlike previous years, printed proceedings will be given to participants at the workshop (rather than having a post-conference proceedings). As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. The important dates as well as the organizing and program committee members are listed below. We look forward to seeing you at HotMobile 2009.

by Boris Koldehofe 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

CALL FOR PAPERS: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09) Collocated with KiVS 09 in Kassel, Germany http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vs/gsn09 March 6th, 2009 WORKSHOP SCOPE Global sensor networks (GSN) are an emergent research area aiming to offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale of billions of sensing devices. While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages).

IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (T-ITB) CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare Starting in the 1960s emotion and affective phenomenon research has entered an Emotion Renaissance era due to new findings establishing the universality of emotions across the human species along with their evolutionary adaptive and functional role in 'rational' intelligence (e.g. memory, decision-making), social intelligence (e.g. communication, adaptation). In the past decade, additional studies such as the one related in Descarte's Error (Damasio, 1994), revealed surprising results about the nervous system organization, suggesting that emotions and affective processes might play an even more important role in intelligence, health recovery and prevention, and overall well-being than ever suspected. These findings on emotions and affects from psychology, neuroscience and sociology call for innovation in information and communications technology for enabling, and facilitating intelligent interpretation of affective health data; decision support systems for diagnostic, computer assisted health care; remote guidance and virtual reality applications in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; privacy security and trust necessary for user acceptance of technologies; human-computer interfacing and usability engineering; novel patient modelling; and multimodal intelligent affective user interfaces. This special issue will focus on the novel and practical ways, and solid contributions, to improve affective computing and pervasive technologies. We welcome papers that focus on novel applications of wireless telemedicine,of embedded sensor and actuators for affective processing, novel user interfaces and patient-modeling for use by caregivers and/or patients in a variety of health care domains, virtual reality and virtual environments for phychotherapeutic diagnostic, treatment, and support/assistance coaching. We also encourage surveys of available technologies, and reporting on user experiences. Papers that do not focus on affective social processing for healthcare and applications will not be reviewed. Specific interests are in (but not limited to) the following areas: . Network architectures for wireless telemedicine . Mobile service platform for continuity of healthcare . Privacy and security in affective/pervasive healthcare . Wireless and pervasive networks for telemedicine . Autonomic wireless sensor networks . Body area networks . Affective Signal processing techniques * Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring of affect-relevant events * Multimodal integration and fusion for contextual information processing for health care systems * Actuators, prompters, and virtual environments/characters for rehabilitation and behavior modification * Social Intelligent orthotics * Privacy architectures for affective medical records * Issues in healthcare technology standards, interoperability, security, usability, cost, ethics and privacy, etc * Emotional and social context awareness * Context-awareness user-modeling for healthcare * Implementation and design issues for human-centered socially intelligent user-interfaces * User acceptance issues and challenges (patients and caregivers) Manuscripts must be prepared according to the format of the IEEE Transactions ( http://bme.ee.cuhk.edu.hk/TITB/) and electronically submitted to Manuscript Central (http://embs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/). In submitting indicate that the paper is intended for the Special Issue on Affective and Pervasive Computing for Healthcare.

This results into an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also in opening exciting research, development and business opportunities. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences. The event will enable information exchange and cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academy, research centers and industry through the organization of specific and interacting tracks related to: (i) technology, including wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the communication facility; (ii) services, in the vision of �always on?requirement; (iii) business models, opportunities and solutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST (INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING) TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES - Wireless Communication Standards (IEEE 802.11x, Personal Area Networks, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15, wireless USB, HiperLAN2, WiMAX) - Cellular Networks (2.5G, 3G, 3G LTE, LTE-A) - Ultra Wide Band - Next Generation Networks - Lightweight Devices Architecture (smartphones, PDAs) - Internetworking & Interoperability - Protocol Stack Design (Layering, Cross-layering) - Performance Evaluation and Optimization - Service-Oriented Architectures - Cognitive Radios and Networks SERVICES - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive Multimedia - Voice and Voice over IP - Usability and HMI - Location Services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and Next Generation Services BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS - Architectures Deployment - Service Provisioning - Value-Added Services - Business Models - Next Generation Lightweight Devices - Industry Perspectives and Market Evolution - Users?Needs and Requirements - Available and Emerging Solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer-review.

This year's focus is energy awareness viewed from two different ways Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research. In 2009 ARCS will be hosted by the Delft University of Technology, which has one of the leading information technology schools in Europe. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Paper submission ================ Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers on one of the following topics: - Energy-awareness, green computing. - Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing. - Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software. - Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power management, and RTOS. - System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware. - Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques. - Embedded systems including but not limited to architecture, communication, design methodologies, and applications. - Network Centric and Grid Computing issues with a focus on middleware.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special COMNET issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" Datum: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 11:41:52 +0300 Von: Stavros Toumpis <toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL * * Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" * (Paper Submission Deadline, October 1st) Many recent fundamental results in communications and networking have been obtained using tools developed within other branches of science: statistical physics methodologies have been used in detection in CDMA; the understanding of phase transitions in loss networks has enabled the design of trunk reservation solutions for efficient routing in telephony; techniques from percolation and from random graph theory have been useful in understanding connectivity and coverage in ad hoc networks; Equilibria concepts from game theory represent now a commonly used tool for analyzing interactions in distributed systems and devising efficient pricing mechanisms. Based on these recent developments, it is clear that there are many other potentially useful tools and techniques developed in different scientific fields that the networking community is not aware of. With this Special Issue of Computer Networks, we aim to bring to the attention of researchers and practitioners novel interdisciplinary tools that can be successfully applied to the analysis and design of computer and communication networks. We solicit papers that innovatively use tools from other scientific disciplines in the service of understanding, analyzing, and optimizing computer and communication networks. A limited number of invited survey papers, presenting relevant tools and techniques from other disciplines, will also be considered for publication. We are particularly interested in paradigms that build on results and techniques developed in the context of: * Biology * Physics * Road traffic engineering * Utility Network Engineering * Economics and Social Systems The list is not restrictive - authors are encouraged to contact the editors before submitting a paper to determine whether the proposed submission is within the scope of the Special Issue. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in good English, and describe original research not published, nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers that have substantially new material with respect to previous conference versions will however be considered. For such submissions, the authors are requested to mention the original conference and specify the changes. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the guidelines in the Guide for Authors, found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit them to the online submission and reviewing tool, at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: SI-New Network Paradigms. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: October 1st, 2008 First Round of Review due: January 10, 2009 Second round of reviews due: June 10, 2009 Final version due: October 1st, 2009 Publication Date: June 2009 Guest Editors Eitan Altman, INRIA, France (eitan.altman(a)sophia.inria.fr) Tamer Basar, UIUC, USA (tbasar(a)control.csl.uiuc.edu) Emma Hart, Napier University, UK (e.hart(a)napier.ac.uk) Daniele Miorandi, CREATE-NET, Italy (daniele.miorandi(a)create-net.org) Aris Moustakas, University of Athens, Greece (arislm(a)phys.uoa.gr) Stavros Toumpis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus (toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network - Special Issue on Multi-hop Cognitive Networks]
by Lars Wolf 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network - Special Issue on Multi-hop Cognitive Networks Datum: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 18:19:32 +0200 Von: Matteo Cesana <cesana(a)elet.polimi.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies in case of multiple receptions IEEE Network Special Issue on Networking over Multi-Hop Cognitive Networks Background In recent years, the exponential growth of unlicensed band usage has prompted possible wireless spectrum shortage. Moreover, today's wireless networks are characterized by fixed spectrum assignment policies, which often lead to wasting large spectrum portions due to sporadic utilization of the licensed users (according to FCC, only 15% to 85% of the licensed spectrum is utilized on the average). This situation has motivated and pushed forward the development of novel low-power wireless Cognitive Radio transceivers with the capability of changing their transmitter parameters (operating spectrum, modulation, transmission power and communication technology) based on interaction with the surrounding environment. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) based on nodes equipped with cognitive transceivers have consequently emerged as viable architectural solutions to solve current wireless network problems resulting from the limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage by exploiting the existing wireless spectrum opportunistically. Scope and Contributions This special issue aims to consolidate and disseminate the latest developments and advances in the emerging area of Multi-hop CRNs, which is defined as a collection of cognitive transceiver-equipped nodes forming a multi-hop communication network. The main focus of this special issue is on networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs where the information needs to be relayed over multiple wireless links. The operation of Multi-hop CRNs is not limited to the discovery and allocation of wireless resources while avoiding service disruption for primary users. Additional tasks must be accomplished to sustain end-to-end communication, including identification of sets of relay nodes, ensuring that required bandwidth is available over all necessary links, and regulating resource sharing among all flows in the network. Most importantly, these goals must be achieved while coping with negative effects of frequent link outages due to primary user access. Preferably, the multi-hop CRN must also ensure that flow requirements, such as bandwidth, delay, and jitter bounds, are met. This special issue provides opportunities for the research community, the standardization bodies, and the industry to showcase the-state-of-the-art of the research on networking aspects of Multi-hop CRNs, implementation studies, and feasibility analyses. Moreover, since the success of CRN also depends on spectrum regulatory aspect, we also solicit critical contributions addressing the Multi-hop CRM architecture as it relates to spectrum competition under regulated, partially regulated or unregulated competitive environments. While the nature of the multi-hop CRNs necessitates high levels of interaction and dependency between the physical layer and protocols and solutions at MAC layer and above, the main focus of this special issue is the networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs. Therefore, the design of cognitive transceivers and hardware, signal processing techniques, modulation and coding methods, physical layer channel models, as well as networking issues primarily concerning single-hop CRNs fall outside the scope of the special issue. We solicit papers written in a tutorial and survey style, accessible to the non-expert, presenting the state of the art. Specifically, we seek submissions on the topics of: o Medium access control for multi-hop CRNs o Routing solutions for multi-hop CRNs o Real-time communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Cross-layer design of communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Centralized and distributed dynamic spectrum management and spectrum leasing o Performance evaluation and modeling of multi-hop CRNs o Regulatory Aspects and CRN Architectures o Experiences from testbed and proof-of-concept systems Schedule for Submission Paper Submission Deadline: November 15, 2008 Feedback to Authors: February, 15 2009 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half of 2009 Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Author Guidelines" at the IEEE Network Magazine Web site at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. The manuscripts must be written in English and submitted electronically in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, contact information, a 250-word abstract and 3-5 keywords, via email to ieee-network-si(a)ece.osu.edu before the deadline (November 15th 2008).

In addition, there is a growing interest on the local community and municipal levels to get broadband wireless access, but the number of options regarding network and service providers, as well as price and usage plans, is severely limited. However, affordable broadband for all is a key requirement to bridge the digital divide and to bring sustainable development to rural and developing regions as well as to support communities and municipalities. Today, existing technologies and plans for broadband access fail to address key challenges in terms of cost, deployment, or power consumption in order to bring broadband internet access to sparsely populated rural areas or to the masses of developing countries. While the focus of the general M4D conference is on multi-disciplinary research addressing the social, political, cultural and educational barriers to bringing ICT into developing regions, this workshop focuses on the technical and economical aspects of enabling (broadband) wireless internet access for rural and developing areas, as well as supporting communities and municipalities. The goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners and to serve as a forum for presenting and discussing state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Therefore, we are encouraging contributions including but not limited to topics listed below: * Cost-effective Rural, Urban and Community Wireless and Mesh Networks * Long distance and low power wireless network deployments * Power-Efficient Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems * Opportunistic Communication Paradigms * Social Networks meet Wireless * Planning and Deployment of Community and Municipality Wireless Networks * Business Models and Economics of Community and Rural Wireless Networks * Applications and Services for Communities, Cross-layer design for localized communication * Case Studies and Testbeds Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of an extended abstract (maximum of 1000 words, in English) including figures, tables, and results that provides enough details to assess the contribution of the work. In addition to the paper submission, an abstract shall be submitted through the EDAS system using as the main conference M4D 2008 and selecting the WIRELESS4D workshop. You can use directly the SUBMIT PAPER link by no later than September 30th, 2008. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the workshop and register at regular registration rates as indicated by the main conference. Accepted contributions will be part of the M4D conference proceedings either as full paper (10 pages maximum, 11pt single space, see template) or as the extended abstract and published on this website after the conference. Participants will present their contributions as either talks (max. 20 minutes) or poster presentations.
