Research in these areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many actual working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a growing number of people. However, the various web sites and lecture videos produced as part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential of multimedia. The question about how multimedia can really make learning more exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning to understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition, new trends in multimedia technology, such as multimedia on handheld devices or advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals, offer novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on any computing device also increases the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists and software engineers. However, the significance of multimedia for the future of computing is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example, few universities offer dedicated courses and multimedia is often only taught as part of other courses such as computer graphics or machine learning. In addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New and emerging technologies can not only influence how we teach but also have an impact on what we should teach. The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends, specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want to establish an open discussion on these issues and create a reference for future research in this area. In particular, we invite submissions in one of the following areas: -> MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION, i.e. submissions which identify key issues and best practices for teaching multimedia and look into the future of multimedia education. -> EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS, i.e. work on educational multimedia systems and applications that promote learning. -> EMERGING TRENDS, i.e. papers on novel technologies and emerging trends in computing that offer new and exciting possibilities for the production and usage of multimedia learning material. We explicitly encourage researchers from other communities who are also working with multimedia data and multimodal signals to contribute to this workshop by submitting their research related to educational multimedia material and applications. In addition, any contribution from an emerging field dealing with education and new media is welcome. Further potential areas of interest include, among them, gaming and learning, human-centered computing, and ubiquitous computing. Information about submissions (up to 10 pages in ACM style, shorter submissions are welcome as well) are available on the workshops web site (see URL below). Selected papers will be invited for publication in a related journal. Workshop Chairs Gerald Friedland, ICSI, Berkeley, CA, USA Wolfgang Hürst, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany Lars Knipping, Berlin University of Technology, Germany Important Dates Deadline: June 1, 2007 Notification: July 9, 2007 Final Version: July 23, 2007 Further information & submission instructions at http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: VANET 2007 Submissions due May 14 Datum: Tue, 8 May 2007 17:10:17 -0800 Von: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2007 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 September 10, 2007 Montréal, QC, Canada Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of Acceptance: June 18, 2007 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 16, 2007 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extended to May 15 LOCAN 2007 Datum: Thu, 03 May 2007 12:10:43 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)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 * * * * LOCAN 2007 * * * * The 3rd International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2007 * * * * In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2007 * * http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007 * * Pisa, Italy, October 13 , 2006 * ********************************************************************* SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: May 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS *EXTENDED* Submission deadline: July 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.
