fyi -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments Datum: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 01:17:25 +0100 (CET) Von: Gaia Maselli <maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers HealthNet 2007 The 1st International Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments In conjunction with MobiSys 2007 June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA http://healthnet07.cs.uiuc.edu Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. 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: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on based on technical content and correctness, relevance to the workshop, as well as presentation of the research.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [MobiOpp07 - ACM MobiSys co-located workshop]: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:17:23 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MobiOpp07]: Preliminary annoucement and call for papers Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 17:45:28 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CogNets @ ICC - 2007:Deadline Extended Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 04:05:39 +0100 Von: <Vprasad(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <D5D459C496383F4490DC103C3460200C5164A8(a)ewis05.ewi.local> *** We apologise if you receive multiple copies*** We received many requests for extending the deadline. We are extending the deadline though we already have a significant number of submissions. First IEEE CogNet Workshop "Towards Cognition in Wireless Networks", IEEE ICC 2007 Workshop 24 June 2007, Glasgow, Scotland, UK http://www.ieee-cognet.org <http://www.ieee-cognet.org/> Technical sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Technical Sub-committee on Cognitive Networks Important Dates: Full papers due: 13th February 2007, 11:59 PM EST (Hard Deadline) Acceptance notification: 5 March 2007 Camera ready version: 12 March 2007 Scope of the Workshop Recently we have been witnessing an unbounded growth in communication technology, in particular wireless devices have been proliferating. There is a serious demand for spectrum to support the communication needs of all these devices. At the same time, many researchers are developing methodologies to sieve the unused spectrum. There are already many solutions proposed under the 'Cognitive Radio' (CR) umbrella that address this issue. The efforts by IEEE 1900 Working Group and various researchers are blazing a trail in the direction of intelligently using the spectrum available locally for communication needs, making Cognitive Radio Networking (CRN) one of the promising candidates for future communication. They are usually in terms of architecture, sensing, optimization, resource allocation, cross layer issues, etc. However, an end user requires a system that is capable of intelligently finding and handling the available frequency band without compromising the QoS. Thus there is a need for the community to look at the whole issue holistically such that these solutions, results and proposals can lead to the rapid deployment of Cognitive Radio networking devices. CRN paradigm has been trying also to gain industrial relevance through the Cognitive Radio work done especially in the USA. The workshop aims to bring in together both long-term academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. It is required to emphasize particular as well as general aspects towards CRN. The need is to bring together all the efforts resulting in a cohesive approach for CRN. This workshop aspires to provide a platform in this direction. We select, from the submissions, a set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues in a CWN but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of the CRN systems. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners and the early proponents of CR. Since this workshop is held under the auspices of ICC, we expect many key persons in this field to be present. The workshop will be planned so as to allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference would. Papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2007 proceedings and available on IEEE eXplore database. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures for Hardware and Software defined CR; - Regulatory policies for non-centralized spectrum management; - Enforcement of policies for CR devices; - Pricing and billing for CR devices; - Authorization and authentication of CR devices; - Novel Dynamic/Opportunistic Spectrum Access techniques; - MAC and Network layer management in CR context; - Cross-layer optimization of CRWN; - End-to-End modeling of CRWN; - Security of CRWN; - Applications of CR, i.e., CR for Personal Area Networks; - Spectrum Sensing and Quality of Detection; - Signal Processing for CRWN; - Game Theoretical Analysis of CRWN - Error correction and coding for CR; - Test beds, Experiences of CR implementations. Submission Guidelines: IEEE CogNet Workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of Cognitive Radio and Networks. Prospective Authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info <http://www.edas.info/> <http://www.edas.info/ <http://www.edas.info/> > ). (If you have any problems during submission, please contact: p.pawelczak at ewi.tudelft.nl <https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc> ). Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:04:27 -0500 Von: Chunxiao (Tricia) Chigan <cchigan(a)mtu.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu (Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies.) ======================================================================= Call for Papers (deadline extended again till February 11) ---------------------------------------------------------- International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007 In conjunction with the IEEE 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds. Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks (oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks. For more details please visit the SAHNS web pages at: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS/ or contact the Workshop Chair (llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu). We apologize for redundant messages. ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Additional papers will be published in the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting (JVRB) that will bring out a dedicated special issue about Pervasive Games. UPDATE: In addition to the scientific programme, PerGames will feature high profile tutorials about Pervasive Gaming from the IPerG EU project. The IPerG project on Pervasive Games has been running for several years and offers a wealth of technological and game design insights to share. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11. & 12. 2007. It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference.

From a simple laptop to the hype iPod, from wearable computers to wireless sensors, from RFID tags to cell phones, those systems have pervasively got into our homes, offices and places where we have fun, deeply revolutionizing our lifestyle and common habits. Whats really new here is that, surprisingly, not only we can use these devices in a passive way, to listen to music or watch TV for example, but we can use them to customize and adapt all the information we want to receive: We are about to spend our days in an environment saturated with computing and communication devices able to produce and/or adapt a lot of multimedia contents, based on a set of sophisticated interactions these systems carry out with us, as well as with the environment surrounding us. One of the key issue is how to structure this universe of devices and applications, without bothering users with an explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies, while guaranteeing to them a full control on the results. To this aim, new technical challenges include several different aspects, ranging from the underlying network (is the client-server communication model adequate to support all this?) to the human computer interaction interface (how can a human being simply interact with an embedded system or an RFID tag?) and to the privacy/security mechanisms (how can we ensure privacy in such a pervasive environment?). The goal of this special issue is to collate and disseminate recent and relevant contributions in the area of Pervasive and Interactive Multimedia Systems and Applications including content representation, customization, indexing, access, protection and transmission. Papers are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: * Pervasive and interactive multimedia systems including mobile systems, pervasive gaming, and digital TV * Techniques and architectures for streaming media * Multimedia delivery to wireless embedded devices * Mobile content distribution networks * Multimedia QoS support for wired and wireless networks * MAC protocols with multimedia QoS support in wireless networks * Multimedia QoS in peer-to-peer and overlay networks * Online gaming (Service, architecture, protocol, and security) * Privacy and Security Issues * Distributed services middleware and systems for multimedia communications (e.g. Open Service Interfaces) * TV-centric home networks, DTV, and home networked entertainment and games * Information hiding and watermarking * Multimedia Standards, formats and models for multi-channel content distribution * GRID and distributed systems for content production * Web services for content distribution; distribution with P2P architectures * Legal aspects related to digital content (e.g., digital rights management); business, payment and transaction models Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Prospective contributors should submit papers in A4/US letter, single column, double space format, up to 30 pages long including figures, tables and references. Authors should submit a pdf version of their manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) according to the following timetable, directly to the e-mail address of Marco Roccetti: roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it. Camera-ready papers will have to conform to the manuscript style of the target journal (www.springer.com/journal/11042/about). Timetable: Manuscript Submission: February 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2007 Publication Date: First available issue Guest editors: Marco Roccetti (University of Bologna, IT) Marco Furini (University of Piemonte Orientale, IT) Xiao-Ping Zhang (Ryerson University, Canada) Zhu Liu (AT&T Research Labs, USA) Heather Yu (Panasonic, USA)

In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After a successful first event last year, EXPONWIRELESS 2007 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Deployment and experience with multi-hop multi-radio wireless mesh networks * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Power control and channel assignment * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond-3G systems * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Wireless security * Wireless vehicular networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models * Location services * Positioning and tracking technologies PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 6 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format to the address exponw(a)ics.forth.gr. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2007 workshop proceedings.

The difference is induced by the fact that in applications such as network monitoring, telecommunications data management, manufacturing, sensor networks, and others, data takes the form of continuous data streams rather than finite stored data sets. As a result, clients require long-running continuous queries as opposed to one-time queries. These requirements lead to reconsider data management and processing of complex and numerous continuous queries over data streams, as current database systems and data processing methods are nit suitable. Event stream processing is a new paradigm of computing that supports the processing of multiple streams of event data with the goal of identifying the meaningful events within those streams The International Workshop on Data Stream Processing, STREAM 2007, brings together practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects pertaining to new algorithms for data stream processing, optimization, and system design methodologies using these techniques. TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (but not limited to): Fundamentals on data stream processing Data stream processing and event stream processing Continuous query languages Time management in data stream systems Aggregated queries support Query processing with multiple, continuous, rapid, time-varying data streams Processing frequent item set discovery queries Real-time stream data processing Network-aware operator placement for stream-processing systems Integrating database queries and Web searches Scalable Distributed Stream Processing Optimization of data stream processing Performance and overhead in data stream processing QoS adaptation in data stream systems Adaptive query processing in data stream Interactive distributed data stream processing and mining Data stream management systems Control theory on stream processing Processing high-speed data streams Stream processing in production-to-business software Multi-site cooperative data stream analysis Grid-based data stream processing Hyper databases for P2P data stream processing Sensor data stream processing in health monitoring Processing and sharing data streams in Grid-based P2P infrastructures INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS The STREAM 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, posted on IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and indexed with major indexes.

The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. We are seeking research papers, technical reports, dissertation etc for these interdisciplinary areas. The goal of the UBICC journal is to publish the most recent results in the development of system aspects of ubiquitous computing. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in this area. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to* 1. Probabilistic or predictive performance models and analysis of ad hoc, sensor, pervasive and ubiquitous networks 2. RF channel capacity modeling and analysis 3.
