In the age of ambient intelligence - which deals with making computers invisible available throughout the natural environment of the consumer - the technical foundations for new forms of entertainment, education, training, and art are laid. This form of entertainment can be referred to as ubiquitous and pervasive entertainment. However, not solely technology makes a new form of entertainment successful. Players and users today are more knowledgeable. They demand more and expect interactive digital media applications that have a much more diverse set of features than in the past. Ubiquitous and pervasive entertainment provides these new features with its natural and smart ways how consumers can interact with game content. Another trend in today's game environment is the quest to be more collaborative and social to give in such a way additional value to services. As seen on the Internet, social media sites attract more and more members to activate and broaden their social networks with games and entertainment content. Also, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Entertainment benefits from the viewpoints of social media's collaborative production and distribution models which builds on user-generated content, peer productions, and open interfaces with external software modules. From the consumer viewpoint the question remains, are they also ready to join collective action and transform into co-designers and active participants before the end result is there to consume. This special issue deals with the latest in Ubiquitous and Pervasive Entertainment. This special issue on Ubiquitous and Pervasive Entertainment is a multidisciplinary approach to view newly emerging entertainment technology. It focuses on the latest scientific research and developments in the field of Ubiquitous and Pervasive Entertainment.

New Deadline: Submission until Dec. 10, 2007 -------------------------------------------- ARCS 2008 February 25-28, Dresden (Germany) 1st GI/ITG FG APS+PC Workshop Ambient Assisted Living - Human centric Assistance Systems February 26, 2008 http://vaust.uni-lueneburg.de/arcs2008_aal_workshop Call for Papers: ARCS 2008 PDF-Download http://www.leuphana.de/fileadmin/user_upload/sonstige_einrichtungen/vaus t/files/ARCS2008_AAL-Workshop_E.pdf Submit a Paper http://www.conftool.net/aal2008/ The demographic change of most Industrial Communities is still in progress. Caused by an increasing life expectancy, aging of the baby boom generation and low actual birthrates it is assumed that the number of elderly people will be doubled in 2050. Especially the number of the 80+ people will have been tripled since today. Regarding actual social trends the proportion of elderly people living alone will increase highly. On the other hand the demographic change will be a chance for the European Community and its economy. More and more elderly people will need and buy goods, services and appropriate technologies in order to participate in social life. The demographic change will be a challenge for the European Community in terms of social impacts and public finances. It is not possible to increase the public institutional care systems in the same way due to incurring unacceptable costs. Hence transition of elderly people into institutional care has to be delayed. Many individual persons need support and help by innovative technologies to stay as long as possible in their own living environment independently. Focus of the Workshop: Human centric Assistance Systems Ambient Assisted Living is an interdisciplinary approach. Medical, social, ethical and commercial aspects are as important for systemic solutions as technological aspects. The GI/ITG FG APS+PC is soliciting contributions dealing with topics of human centric assistance systems. Social, medical and technological aspects of highly deterministic scenarios like e.g. vital data sensing, processing and communications are as welcome as non deterministic scenarios like e.g. community building for social participation introducing knowledge based methods.

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- The Second IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'08) Beijing, China, June 20, 2008 in conjunction with ICDCS 2008 http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2008/index.htm Submission Deadline: December 7, 2007 ************************************************************************ *********************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi- radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols Quality of Services provisioning Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks Network deployment, localization, and synchronization Topology construction and maintenance Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation Modeling and performance evaluations Physical layer techniques Cross layer optimizations Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: December 7, 2007 Acceptance notification: February 11, 2008 Camera-ready due: March 9, 2008 Workshop: June 20, 2008 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WWASN 2008 workshop (extended deadline) Datum: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:08:23 -0500 Von: Katrin Höper <khoeper(a)engmail.uwaterloo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple copies. Please distribute to interested colleagues and students. The Fifth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN2008 http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~softart/WWASN2008.html A full day workshop held on June 20, 2008 in conjunction with the ICDCS 2008, The International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems June 17-20, 2008 in Beijing, China Manuscript Submission: December 8, 2007 (extended!) Acceptance Notification: February 11 , 2008 Final Manuscript Due at IEEE: March 9, 2008 SUBJECT Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts or nodes that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading, wherein a packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks such as cellular or satellite systems. However, multi-hop scenarios in which network nodes communicate via other network nodes, for example conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios, are rapidly becoming prevalent in practice. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking in single- and multi-hop scenarios, from physical issues up to application aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The workshop will also address the rapidly growing field of sensor networks, including (but not limited to) the issues related to their topology, routing, performance, data gathering and filtering, energy efficiency, and mobility. The submitted articles will be carefully reviewed for quality and relevance. Each article will be reviewed by experts of the same topic. In the selection process, a comprehensive coverage will be sought, covering the most important topics such as (but not limited to): - Key communication abstractions for ad hoc and sensor networks - Topology construction and maintenance - Physical, media access, and routing layers - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting - Energy-efficient protocols - Quality of service in medium access control and routing - Fault tolerance and redundancy schemes - IEEE 802.11 and 802.15.x-based medium access control - Hybrid networks and wireless internet - Models for analysis, performance assessment, mobility, and validation models - Methods and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks simulation - Heterogeneous networks and challenges in analyzing and designing them - Pervasive and wearable computing - Security, trust, and other security-related issues - Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery - Applications and history of ad hoc and sensor networks _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Caused by an increasing life expectancy, aging of the baby boom generation and low actual birthrates it is assumed that the number of elderly people will be doubled in 2050. Especially the number of the 80+ people will have been tripled since today. Regarding actual social trends the proportion of elderly people living alone will increase highly. On the other hand the demographic change will be a chance for the European Community and its economy. More and more elderly people will need and buy goods, services and appropriate technologies in order to participate in social life. The demographic change will be a challenge for the European Community in terms of social impacts and public finances. It is not possible to increase the public institutional care systems in the same way due to incurring unacceptable costs. Hence transition of elderly people into institutional care has to be delayed. Many individual persons need support and help by innovative technologies to stay as long as possible in their own living environment independently. On the part of medicine general practitioners home visits play the main role in developing diagnosis and treatment concepts for the elderly people. As a consequence of the demographic change much more home visits will be required. Critical questions arise at this point. Is it possible to reduce the amount of visits by using appropriate technologies? What would be the social impacts? Would it be possible to economize home visits, e.g. by using remote vital data sensing technologies? On the part of technology Ambient Intelligence is one of the key words. Computational power embedded into buildings sensors, actors and devices in day-to-day usages give chances for seamless integration of mobile users into wireless networking environments offering cooperative services for independent living and social participation anywhere. Accurate context recognition and data mining in mobile and highly dynamic ad hoc peer-to-peer environments are basic prerequisites for useful services. Middleware based convergence of environmental network services, local area and internet services involve ontologies for sharing context informations across the networks. Focus of the Workshop: Human centric Assistance Systems Ambient Assisted Living is an interdisciplinary approach. Medical, social, ethical and commercial aspects are as important for systemic solutions as technological aspects. The GI/ITG FG APS+PC is soliciting contributions dealing with topics of human centric assistance systems. Social, medical and technological aspects of highly deterministic scenarios like e.g. vital data sensing, processing and communications are as welcome as non deterministic scenarios like e.g. community building for social participation introducing knowledge based methods.

[Tccc] [CFP] WMCNR 2008 Deadline extension - 25th November
by Jung-Min Park 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ============================================================================ The First Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) April 4th, Berlin, Germany http://www.wmcnr.org in conjunction with 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ============================================================================ *** Paper submission deadline: November 25, 2007 (Extended) *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org *** Submission should be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ============================================================================ Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 25, 2007 (Extended) Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage : http://www.wmcnr.org Submission should be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it ============================================================================ Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jantti, Helsinki Univ.

To meet these challenges, system designers can resort to a number of tools and techniques at PHY, MAC or higher layers of the protocol stack. In order to increase the network efficiency (Bit/Sec/Hz per Euro/Dollar) while providing the required QoS, a more efficient utilization of the spectral resource across the network will be required. Smart resource allocation schemes should help provide the customer with a smooth user experience while efficiently tackling interference issues in agressive reuse environment, whether in cellular or adhoc scenarios. Ideally, they should be aware, i.e. jointly designed with lower layer algorithms (multiple antenna systems, spatial division multiple access, OFDMA, multi-cell cooperative coding) and potentialy upper layers as well (transport/routing/application). ----------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------- Paper submission deadline : November 26, 2007 Notification of acceptance : January 21, 2008 Camera-ready papers due : February 21, 2008 Early registration deadline : March 1, 2008 -------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST -------------------- This workshop seeks original work within the fields described by (but not limited to) the bullets below: - User scheduling (single cell /multicell /OFDMA); - Cross-layer design (e.g. combined MIMO - Resource allocation schemes) - Power control and energy-efficient communication; - Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; - Cooperation schemes for interference control, range extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); - Performance evaluation methods for wireless networks; - Game theoretic resource allocation; - Pricing-based, auction-based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; - Fairness vs. performance issues ----------------- INVITED SPEAKERS ----------------- - Olivier Lévêque (EPFL) ----------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ----------------------- Paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rawnet2008).

Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/CFP/SCN-SIcfp.htm Background ========== With the rapid progress in information technology and an enormous amount of media appearing over Internet, e.g. text, audio, speech, music, image and video, guaranteeing information security is becoming increasingly important. Several pivotal challenges include copyright protection, integrity verification, authentication, and access control etc. As a consequence, the subject of security protection in multimedia communication has attracted intensive research activities in academia, industry and also government. Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication. The issue focuses on secure transmission or distribution of multimedia content. Topics ======== Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: . Copyright techniques . Digital rights management for multimedia . Secure multimedia transcoding in communication . Secure media streaming . Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network . Broadcast encryption and authentication . Security in multimedia message sending . Security in mobile TV . Security in IPTV . Attacks and prevention in multimedia communication .
