However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the cfp. ************************ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS ************************ IWSOS 2008 3rd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems - December 10-12, 2008 Vienna, Austria http://iwsos.ani.univie.ac.at/ Submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 ********************************************************************* Workshop Scope -------------- IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems has recently started to systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are required for these networked systems in order to analyze their controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a restricted list): * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization * Feedback control in networked systems * Group-forming networks and techniques * Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization * Visualization of network system state * Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society (e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory) * Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security in self-organizing networked systems * Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks * Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services * Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network * The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 * Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008 Initial Submission (full papers) -------------------------------- IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers up to 10 pages using the LNCS style, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 - 150 words.

Human Computer Interaction is one of the emerging areas of research in the recent years. The role of the user when designing interfaces is regarded as more and more important and the focus is shifted from designing systems that simply work to systems users can interact with, without an extraordinary effort of learning a system. In security relevant areas like e.g. aviation, public transport and public safety, atomic power plants and control centers an error when using a system can cause damage to people and could be life-threatening. Here HCI is regarded as an important factor for designing and developing systems that are customized to fit the particular requirements of Safety Critical Environments. HCI4SCE was established to provide a forum to scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results, to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues and to elaborate about the research areas of HCI applied to Safety Critical Environments. TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop program will include peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics: Safety Critical Environments and HCI - The role of the human in SCEs - Interaction within SCEs - Regarding Context in SCEs - Workflow-based design in SCEs HCI and Training in SCEs - Simulations- and Learning Games - Learning Environments - Training in Aviation + SCEs HCI Tools - Tools for Designing Interactive Systems - OpenSource Tools in SCEs - Prototyping in SCEs Designing Interfaces in SCEs - Augmented and Virtual Reality - Sensor-based context information - Designing interaction in SCEs IMPORTANT DATES July 7, 2008 Paper submission September 15, 2008 Camera-Ready Papers November 18-21,2008 Workshop HCI4SCE PUBLICATION All accepted conference papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.

Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend of location-based services and applications. In most cases, however, location information is limited by the accessibility to GPS, which is unavailable for indoor or underground facilities and unreliable in urban environments. Much research has been done, in both the sensor network community and the ubiquitous computing community, to provide techniques for localization and tracking in GPS-less environments. Novel applications based on ad-hoc localization and real-time tracking of mobile entities are growing as a result of these technologies. It is time to bring leaders from both the academic and industry research communities to discuss challenging and open problems, to evaluate pros and cons of various approaches, to bridge the gap between theory and applications, and to envision new research opportunities in MELT. The workshop seeks to provide a forum for the state-of-the-art technologies in mobile localization and tracking and novel applications of location-based services. The one-day workshop will have a combination of invited talks, technical presentations and discussions. Possible topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Technology topics: * Algorithms for Localization and Tracking * Opportunistic Localization (using existing signals in the environment) * Environment Mapping and Map Representations * Dynamic/ad-hoc Mapping of Environments * Cheap and Accurate Sensing for MELT (RF, Ultrasound, IR, UWB, RFID etc.) * Collaborative Localization and Data Fusion * Combined Camera/Sensor Localization and Tracking * Hybrid Location-Determination (e.g., RF+vision) * Secure and Robust Localization Application topics: * Search and Rescue Operations * Asset Tracking/Yard Management * Material/In-process flow control * Inventory Tracking + Location * Vehicular Tracking in Intelligent Transportation Systems * Sports and Entertainment * Indoor Navigators/Activity Recommenders * Automatic/Robotic Warehouses/Factories *********************************************************************** Important Dates Submission deadline: May 26, 2008 (extended from May 16) Acceptance notification: June 23, 2008 Camera-ready version: July 7, 2008 Workshop date: September 19, 2008 *********************************************************************** Submission Details The workshop seeks papers on preliminary technique results, novel application concepts, software and hardware research toolkits, statements of open challenging problems, mathematical formalization and solutions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications Datum: Thu, 15 May 2008 15:26:34 +0800 Von: Chin, Woon Hau <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications . Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and cellular networks . Multidirectional relaying . Distributed coding and modulation . Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative communications . Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications . MAC issues and MAC layer routing .

The networks are constantly evolving, which leads to high uncertainty about current and future network usage and traffic demands. An important trend for this evolution is that data and wireless networks are increasingly inter-connected with sensor networks, industrial communication systems, as well as ad hoc and femto-cell wireless networks into one big internet. Another important trend is the proliferation of novel application-layer communication and interaction models, including social networks, blogs and micro-blogs, and user-generated content sharing. Many of these models are proliferating not only on the wired internet, but they are becoming available also on mobile terminals. The traffic patterns resulting from such interaction models and their dependence on human behavior and social contexts are not well understood, and little is known about the usage of services and the resulting traffic in heterogeneous interconnected network. Given the importance of communication systems in our society and the tremendous changes that they undergo, this seminar is aimed at characterizing network usage and traffic, which is germane for the design, operation and management of all forms of communication networks. It is the 19th event in the series of the ITC Specialist Seminars that started in 1977. The seminar will take place on October 8 to 10, 2008, in Berlin, Germany. We are now soliciting papers that describe original, previously unpublished, completed research as well as work in progress, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing all areas pertaining to the theme of the seminar. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: o Human behavior models for application-level characterizations; o Information flow in social networks and other application-level structures; o Network usage and traffic patterns for machine and industrial communication; o Characterization of usage and traffic for peer-to-peer networks; o Elasticity of streaming flows and their quality-rate tradeoffs; o Stochastic and deterministic usage and traffic modeling techniques and their applications; o Spatial and temporal traffic models for mobile communication and information access; o Macroscopic abstractions of traffic flows in large networks; o Characterization and detection of traffic anomalies for attack and fault detection. Submission instructions: The submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at the seminar. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font sizes of 10 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 to 150 words. We will only accept files in Adobe PDF format. Please consult the seminar website for more information. Sponsors: This workshop is sponsored by the ITC ITG. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Anja Feldmann, Ph.D. email: anja(a)net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de Deutsche Telekom Laboratories tel: +49 30 8353 58510 TU Berlin mobile: +49 170 333 8353 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Normal market segmentation differentiates between big corporations for which tailored solutions can be offered and SMEs, businesses and professionals, for which generic solutions are designed, taking into account the so called long tail effect. In the ICT era of the 21st century, mobile services have a promising outlook. Companies are no longer static, premises based. On the contrary they have full mobility needs, with global customers that can be based worldwide, a growing number of remote offices that need to be interconnected, teleworkers that work from home, employees that are always travelling, longer times out of office, etc. On the other hand mobile technologies have evolved significantly over the last years improving the performance offered to users: mobile broadband thanks to 3.5G and beyond with growing coverage for several Mbps bandwidth; more powerful mobile handsets that support more complex applications and offer better user interfaces including larger screens and new features like embedded GPS, NFC,&; a massive penetration of mobile data telephony specially in the enterprise; smaller and lighter laptops at decreasing prices; maturity of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for telco grade IP communications, etc. Given this starting point where workers have permanent access to email in the mobile, and full remote desktop connectivity with laptops and VPNs in this special issue we will go beyond with current research activities related to future enterprise mobility with a total focus on services and applications. Among the different existing vertical enterprise markets special attention will be given to wireless eHealth applications. Original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue in any of, but not limited to, the following or related topic areas: * Mobile convergent communications (IMS Corporate services) * Wireless eHealth * Networked applications * Telework and mobile desktop * Mobile enterprise 2.5: collaboration, semantics,& * Mobile grids MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the magazine format described at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html.

ICST - IWCTS 2008 - Call for Papers
by info＠icstconferences.org 11 May '08

11 May '08

**SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 17, 2008** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** First International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science IWCTS 08 http://cts.cs.uic.edu/iwcts.htm July 21, 2008, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland To be held in conjunction with: The Fifth International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2008) *********************************************************************** In the near future, vehicles, travelers, and the infrastructure will collectively have billions of sensors that can communicate with each other. This environment will enable numerous novel applications and order of magnitude improvement in the performance of existing applications. However, information technology (IT) has not had the dramatic impact on day-to-day transportation that it has had on other domains such as business and science. In terms of the real-time information available to most travelers, with the exception of car navigation systems, the transportation experience has not changed much in the last 30-40 years. During this same time, the miniaturization of computing devices and advances in wireless communication and sensor technology have been propagating computing from the stationary desktop to the mobile outdoors, and making it ubiquitous. Transportation systems, due to their distributed/mobile nature, can become the ultimate test-bed for this ubiquitous (i.e., embedded, highly-distributed, and sensor-laden) computing environment of unprecedented scale. Information technology is the foundation for implementing new strategies, particularly if they are to be made available in real-time to wireless devices such as cell phones and PDAs. A related development is the emergence of increasingly more sophisticated geospatial and spatio-temporal information management capabilities. These factors have the potential to revolutionize traveler services, and the provision and analysis of related information. In this revolution, travelers and sensors in the infrastructure and in vehicles will all produce a vast amount of data that could be interpreted and acted upon to produce a sea change in transportation. The emerging discipline of computational transportation science (CTS) combines computer science and engineering with the modeling, planning, and economic aspects of transportation. The discipline goes beyond vehicular technology, and addresses pedestrian systems on hand-held devices, non-real-time issues such as data mining, as well as data management issues above the networking layer. CTS addresses issues of efficiency, equity, mobility, accessibility, and safety by taking advantage of ubiquitous computing. --- SCOPE OF THE SUBMISSION The International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science invites submissions of original, previously unpublished papers on CTS issues. Position papers that report novel research directions or identify challenging problems are also invited. Papers incorporating one or more of the following themes are especially encouraged: - Uncertain information distributed among moving travelers/vehicles and the infrastructure - Information in pedestrian, biking, and other non-motorized transportation applications - Ride- and car-sharing using social networks - Computation of costs of multi-modal traveling - Information regarding transfers to alternate modes of transportation - Data mining techniques for travel information - Dynamic shortest path computations using forecasts - Human-computer interfaces in intelligent transportation applications - Privacy and security issues in transportation information - Social and institutional information related to travel - Real-time negotiation among travelers - Mobile artificial-intelligence aspects related to transportation - Sensor information related to transportation HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must be in English and not exceed 6 pages double column in ACM SIG format (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. Position papers are limited 4 pages. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program committee. Authors are asked to register the titles and abstract of their papers in advance. To register or submit a paper, please visit http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcts08 or see the workshop website for more details. --- IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: May 17, 2008 Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2008 Camera-ready submissions: June 8, 2008 --- General Chairperson Peter Nelson University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Program Chairperson Ouri Wolfson University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Technical Program Committee Amr El Abbadi University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Walid Aref Purdue University, USA Claus Brenner Leibniz Universitat Hannover, Germany Glenn Geers National Information Communications Technology Australia Fosca Giannotti Institute of Information Science and Technologies, Italy Le Gruenwald University of Oklahoma, USA Christian Jensen Aalborg University, Denmark Der-Horng Lee National University of Singapore D.
