-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extension to October 10: Special Issue of PMC on Homeland and Global Security Datum: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:54:39 +0200 Von: Raffaele Bruno <raffaele.bruno(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal Special Issue on Homeland and Global Security The development, deployment and coordination of pervasive and mobile computing (PMC) has been studied for a number of years, and much of this research is beginning to transition into real solutions for a variety of domains. One domain that is ripe for PMC research and development is homeland and global security. Much of the security mission involves the monitoring of various environments (e.g., ports, borders, mass transit hubs, financial centers, power grids, the Internet) and the prediction and detection of threats to these environments. PMC represents a general solution to maintaining security in these environments. In this special issue we seek contributions representing the state-of-the-art in PMC research and technology targeted toward homeland and global security. Components of such approaches include novel sensor and sensor systems for the detection of various threats, efficient and effective deployment of mobile devices and sensors in such environments, heterogeneous systems for surveillance and threat detection, secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication of sensors in homeland and global security environments, information fusion for prediction and detection of threats, integration and registration of data from multiple sources, and effective decision-making in dynamic environments. And since the nature of the challenge restricts in situ testing of the various approaches, high-fidelity simulation and modeling of such systems is necessary, including the mobile devices and sensors, their communication, the data produced, the characteristics of potential threats, and the temporal interaction in response to the sequence of events leading up to the threat. The objective of this special issue is to gather high quality research papers that address PMC applied to the challenges of homeland and global security. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research in this area. Topics on integrated and demonstrated systems and experiments with real- world data and involving users are highly encouraged. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: · Sensors and sensor networks for threat detection · RFID-based tracking · Biometric devices · Biological/chemical sensors · Screening devices · Deployment of mobile devices and sensors · Secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication · Sensor data and information fusion · Decision-making in dynamic security environments · Command and control software systems · Testing and evaluation methodologies · Simulation and modeling of security domains and systems · Secure smart environments · Learning and training systems · Disaster mitigation and emergency response Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5 spaced and must not exceed 30 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are also required 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). Important Dates: Deadline for submission (HARD): Extended to October 10, 2007 Author Notification: December 1, 2007 Revisions Due: February 1, 2008 Final Decision: March 15, 2008 Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues Editor-in-Chief, Behrooz Shirazi, using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc Guest Editors: Larry Holder, Mohan Kumar and Raffaele Bruno _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 5th IEEE Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08)' Datum: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 18:45:02 +0200 Von: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Antwort an: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Organisation: Universität Stuttgart An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Apologies for possible multiple copies] Call for Paper ======================================================================== 5th Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08) co-located with the Sixth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Hong Kong, 17 – 21 March 2008 ======================================================================== http://www.percom.org http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/COMOREA Workshop Scope There is a growing interest in context-aware applications that intelligently support user tasks by acting autonomously on behalf of users. Behaviour of context-aware applications depends not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on the context sensed during their execution. Some early models of context information already exist, however many research issues related to context information modeling are still not fully addressed. Existing context models vary in types of context information they can represent. While some models take the user’s current situation, e.g. “in a meeting”, into account others model the physical environment, i.e. locations. A more generic approach to context modeling is needed in order to capture various features of context information including a variety of types of context information, dependencies between context information, quality of context information and context histories. In addition, to ease software engineering problems encountered in programming context-aware applications, appropriate abstractions are necessary to support discovery and reuse of context information as well as scalable methods of context processing and management. This workshop’s aim is to advance the state of the art in context modeling and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Particular attention will be paid to hybrid approaches to context modeling, e.g. an integration of non-ontology based context models with ontology based context models. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop: * Context modeling techniques * Domain-specific context models * Ontology-based approaches to context modeling and reasoning * Hybrid context models (integration of various modeling techniques) * Advanced issues in context modeling, including issues of information quality and ambiguity * Context reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy * Discovery and reuse of context information * Privacy of context information * Distributed and scalable context management * Experiences with using context models to build context-aware applications * Tool support for context modeling and development of context model-based applications * Balance of autonomy with user control Submissions Submitted papers will be refereed by the workshop Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the PerCom 08 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Submitted papers should address at least one of the workshop topics. The papers should be in the IEEE format and should be no more than 5 pages in length. Research papers must be an original unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. Experience reports must be stated as such and a comprehensive discussion of the taken approach, experiences, and its assessment is expected. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair CoMoRea page, http://www.easychair.org/CoMoRea08/ The authors of accepted papers of outstanding quality will be encouraged to submit an extended version to the PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management. Important Dates Paper submissions: September 28, 2007 Notification: November 23, 2007 Camera ready version: December 21, 2007 Workshop: March 17 or 21, 2008 Program Committee Daniela Nicklas, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Karen Henricksen, NICTA, Australia -- chairs – Anand Ranganathan, IBM T.J.

Pervasive computing conferences and in particular dedicated workshops (i.e., the CoMoRea?2003-2008 workshops at PerCom and the Ubicomp workshops) are attracting a large number of papers related to context modelling, reasoning and management and influence the direction of research in this area. There is already a consensus in the research community that formal modelling of context information and appropriate reasoning and management techniques are needed. However, many research issues in this field are still open, including heterogeneity of context information, imperfection of context information, complex mapping between raw context data (e.g., sensor readings) and abstract context information required by applications, privacy of context information, limitations and efficiency of reasoning techniques, and difficulties of managing and provisioning context information in systems where mobility and disconnections are common. The purpose of this special issue is to present the state-of-the-art in context information modelling, reasoning and management. The special issue will include a collection of papers that discuss concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modelling and reasoning, as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Context information modelling techniques, * Domain-specific models of context information, * Hybrid models of context information (integration of various modelling techniques), * Context information reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy, * Discovery and reuse of context information, * Privacy of context information, * Distributed and scalable context information management, * Context model driven application design. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5 spaced and must not exceed 35 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper has been published in a conference, the submitted version should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) Datum: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 11:04:41 +0900 Von: millfron <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [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> 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 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage 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 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org ============================================================================ === Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jäntti, Helsinki Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ICST - MODIES 2008 Preliminary CfP - MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 04:07:04 -0400 Von: info(a)icstconferences.org Antwort an: info(a)icst.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios (MODIES) At the 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 2008 Tampere, Finland, January 29th, 2008 http://www.pervasivehealth.org/ The field of medical emergencies is more dynamic and subject to context variability compared to other e-health fields. The emergency management domain is very information-intensive and mission-critical, and the involved tasks exhibit wide heterogeneity, difficulties in communicating and in physically reaching the place. The efficiency of the assistance is an aspect of vital importance, so that all involved people (healthcare workers, drivers, police, firemen, and so on) need to communicate, coordinate and access distributed resources in a simple and fast way. The employed resources (users and medical devices) must dynamically organize themselves in a temporary net, where communication links are established just in time. Therefore, the major requirements of such support systems are dynamicity and context-awareness, i.e. they have to easily self-configure and adapt to the situation variability. The above described context demands the adoption of very innovative and powerful paradigms, much more dynamic and flexible than those usually adopted for conventional distributed systems. The workshop we propose will focus on mobile and distributed approaches to face the issues of emergency scenarios, and to support involved actors in their tasks. This workshop solicits papers (from researchers and practitioners) that address key issues, open problems, models, infrastructures and innovative applications related to mobile and distributed approaches in emergency scenarios. TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP include, but are not limited to: - Mobile health care - Emergency management - Disaster response - Architectures, infrastructures and middleware for distributed and mobile health care - Applications in emergency scenarios - Monitoring in mobile contexts - Distributed medical data acquisition, integration and management - (Mobile) agents and e-health - Context-aware approaches for distributed and mobile health care IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2007 Notification to Authors: November 2nd, 2007 Camera Ready: November 16th, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION MODIES 2008 accepts submissions that describe original, research work not submitted or published elsewhere. The workshop accepts two types of submissions: Full Papers presenting significant contributions to research and practice (maximum 10 pages) and Short Papers presenting late-breaking results and ongoing work (maximum 4 pages). All submissions must follow IEEE's conference style two-column format including figures and references. Authors are requested to submit their PDF manuscripts electronically using COCUS System (http://www.cocus.info) by following the link and instructions at the workshop home page WORKSHOP CHAIR Giacomo Cabri, Francesco De Mola Email giacomo.cabri(a)unimore.it, francesco.demola(a)unimore.it PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be completed) Manfred Bortenschlager, Salzburg Research, Austria Massimiliano De Leoni, Università La Sapienza, Roma, Italy Mark Gaynor, Boston University, US Massimo Mecella, Università La Sapienza, Roma, Italy John O' Donoghue, University College Cork, Ireland Marcin Paprzycki, Warsaw School of Social Psychology, Poland Heiko Schuldt, University of Basel, Switzerland Mu Sun, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, US -------------------------------------------------- You are reading ICST conference newsletter.

This event focuses on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. The conference's goal is to provide a forum for current work in its early stages. Original papers are invited from the research and operations communities on topics including, but not limited to: * Active Network Measurements * Passive Network Measurements * Performance Metrics * Traffic Statistics * Measurement Visualization * New Measurement Approaches & Techniques * Deployment of Measurement Infrastructure * New Measurement Initiatives * Applications of Network Measurements * Network Measurements and Security * Network Troubleshooting using Measurements * Reproduce (or Refute) Previous Measurement Results PAM values contributions that are broader than experimental papers. Data and tool release are seen as first-class contributions and preference will be given in that direction. In particular, releasing measurement data allows for better science to be conducted in the field of network measurement. Therefore, an award will be given at PAM 2008 for the best paper based on a new dataset that the authors are releasing for community use in subsequent research. To qualify, a paper must significantly utilize a dataset that has been collected for the work presented in the paper. Further, the dataset must be freely available to any researcher; wireless data sets may, for instance, be published through CRAWDAD. Novel datasets are especially encouraged. The awarded paper will be chosen from the set of qualifying papers accepted for the conference by a committee made up of a subset of the program and steering committees. Conference Web Page ------------------- http://pam2008.cs.wpi.edu/ http://www.pamconf.org/ Submission Information ---------------------- To ensure PAM 2008 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting papers, submitted in the LNCS format, that do not exceed 10 pages. No additional space will be given once a paper has been accepted. Authors should flag papers they wish to be considered for the best paper based on a new dataset award with a footnote on the first page of the paper. The proceedings of past PAM conferences were published in Springer LNCS series, and we have a preliminary indication from Springer that this will continue for PAM 2008 (pending the formal agreement). Authors are, as always, asked to refrain from submitting papers submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.

Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems that are capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical systems, which have similar high stability and efficiency often found in biological entities. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cellular signaling pathways b) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - Self-organizing network paradigms - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Self-learning defense strategies - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms - Network and information security - Experimental studies - Nano-scale and molecular communication Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it).

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON)]
by Lars Wolf 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON) Datum: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:43:56 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-08) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 22th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-08), GinoWan, Okinawa, Japan, Mar 25-28, 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON08/ ================================================================== 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://conference.iis.sinica.edu.tw/Conference-Submission). 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: Oct. 19, 2007 Authors Notification: Nov. 19, 2007 Authors Registration: Nov. 30, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 14, 2007 General Co-Chairs Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Athanassios Boulis, National ICT Australia, Australia Vladimir Bychkovsky, MIT, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Debojyoti Dutta, CISCO, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Tim Moors, University of New South Wales, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Giovanni Pau, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Chuan-Ching Sue, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP AMI07 AAL Workshop Datum: Wed, 1 Aug 2007 08:01:30 +0200 Von: Thomas Fuhrmann <fuhrmann(a)IRA.UKA.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS -- -- Extended Deadline for submissions: 17 August 2007 -- AmI-07 Workshop: Ambient Assisted Living, Darmstadt, Germany, 10 November 2007, part of the European Conference on Ambient Intelligence http://www.ami-07.org/documents/AmI07-AAL.pdf Most industrialized countries face severe demographical and social changes: the average lifespan rises, more and younger people suffer from chronic diseases, the number of single-households with elderly or handicapped people increases, etc. As a result our society invested a growing share of its GNP into people in need of care, while at the same time the quality of this care does not rise and often even drops. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a promising approach to overcome these problems. AAL provides equipment and automated services that enable senior citizens to live longer independently and self-determined in their own homes. This reduces the need for special medical care and nursing services; and it improves the quality of these services, often at lower cost for the society. Central to each AAL solution is a sound awareness of the elders' situation and their actual need for assistance and an adequate presence of the solutions. In particular, Ambient Assisted Living provides - automated support to carry out daily activities - health and activity monitoring - enhanced safety and security - access to social, medical, and emergency systems - promotion of social contacts - context-based infotainment and entertainment. This workshop will bring together experts from academia and industry to identify and discuss specific demands, approaches, and solutions with regard to awareness and presence in the AAL domain. Therefore, we solicit workshop submissions that present novel approaches and technologies in ambient intelligence, describe new applications of existing such technologies in AAL, or that propose future challenges for research in that application domain. The workshop will consist of the presentations of the peer-reviewed papers and a panel discussion session that shall stimulate future research in AAL with respect to practical needs for AAL. Papers will thus be selected not only on their technical quality but also based on their potential to stimulate this discussion. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Assistance demands of elders in general - Reports on AAL field studies and their outcomes - Specific demands of elders regarding awareness and presence - Sensors to monitor location, behaviour, and physical state of humans - Modelling human behaviour and identifying behavioural patterns - Impact of monitoring technologies on the individual life - Identification of health risks using various sensor data - Models used to interpret and process the collected data of an individual - Design criteria for human-machine interfaces and communication devices for seniors - Human-machine interfaces which adapt dynamically to the capabilities of humans - Dynamically adaptable and adaptive system architectures and platforms for AAL services - Technology acceptance of assistance devices Submission Papers can be submitted of at most 10 pages in Springer LNCS format (as for the AmI'07 conference). Proceedings will be available at the workshop. The intention is to realize publication of extended postproceedings as a book on the workshop theme by a recognized publisher after the workshop. - Aug. 17, 2007 Submission deadline (extended) - Sep. 20, 2007 Notification of acceptance - Oct. 30, 2007 Camera ready version due Please submit your papers to floeck(a)eit.uni-kl.de.

IEEE Communication Magazine, Special Issue on Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges (June 2008)
by Chava S 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Manuscript Submission Deadline: December 1, 2007                             CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine June 2008   ------------------ Feature Topic ------------------ Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges   ---------------- Background ----------------   The continuing maturation and declining costs of optical technologies has resulted in current and future optical networks having several optical domains with different granularities; each domain controlled by an independent and autonomous service provider. Now consider the emerging applications, which require high-bandwidth and interconnection with multiple applications across multiple domains. These kinds of applications necessitate the critical need for intelligent optical network control plane which is aware and can compute end-to-end paths based several domain specific and technology specific parameters. Standardized interworking across various multi-granularity network interfaces and interoperability among vendors equipment/domains are crucial to provision end-to-end services and establish cost effective network evolution path. Current optical networks are based on multiple technologies and control solutions, standard and propriety, making inter-domain and inter-carrier interworking difficult posing several new requirements, for example, the routing process needs to know the extent of each domain and the granularities on each link within the domains and should be sensitive to the costs associated in traversing through other domains; the domain specific information sharing and dissemination; performance monitoring across multiple domains; fault-localization and reporting; security; billing and accounting; control plane standardization; efficient inter-domain routing protocols such as OBGP/PNNI; SLA negotiation and guarantee across multiple domains; interoperability issues; etc. Needless to say that, by having an interoperable and standard control plane across mutli domain optical networks, carriers can benefit from cost effective selection of network elements, platforms, and multiple vendor solutions resulting in faster deployment and reduced CAPEX and OPEX. To promote research and address these challenges many leading private and government agencies have funded numerous projects across the world. Clearly, these newer research initiatives will play a crucial prove-in role for emergent multi-domain optical networks, and their importance cannot be understated. This special issue will serve to share the collective experiences of researchers, industry professionals, practicing engineers, network operators, and equipment vendors in the area of multi-domain optical networking space.   ----------------------------- Scope of Contributions ----------------------------- This feature topic aims to consolidate and disseminate the recent developments and advances in the area of multi-domain optical networks. The articles describing original research and development, deployment issues and challenges, experimental results and applications as well as survey articles related to multi-domain optical networks are solicited.
