[Apologies for cross-posting. A friendly reminder: deadline is end of this month!] __________________________________________________ First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning - Innovative Approaches for Learning and Knowledge Sharing - Crete, Greece - October 1-4, 2006 URL: http://www.ectel06.org Organized by the PRO-LC Cluster (http://www.professional-learning-cluster.org/) __________________________________________________ With the shift towards the knowledge society, changing working conditions and the continuous evolution of information and communication technologies, peoples' knowledge and skills need continuous development. Technology enhanced learning is one of the strategic objectives of the EU/IST Work Programme, with the goal of "improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of learning, for individuals and organizations, independent of time, place and pace." Innovative infrastructuctures, methods and approaches are needed to reach this goal, and will facilitate transfer and sharing of knowledge between individuals and in organisations. For e-learning, as in e-commerce and e-business, systemic changes wrought by emerging technologies are also changing the relationships between consumption and production - in this case of knowledge - as what many call 'Web 2.0' becomes more interactive and user-generated content becomes more widespread. The First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research related to technology- enhanced learning, as well as its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. It will provide a competitive yet broad enough forum for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main conference. The conference will provide unique networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the week and include project meetings and discussions for several EU/IST projects funded within the 6th framework program under the action line of "Technology-Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural Heritage". We welcome submissions describing innovative research on all relevant issues, focusing on aspects from computer science, business and/or education, as well as experience reports and case studies describing innovative applications of new learning environments and approaches. EC-TEL 2006 invites submissions in the following categories: - Papers and posters - Doctoral consortium papers - Industrial reports - Workshops Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: - Collaborative Learning: Learning Communities, Distributed Teams, Instructional Methods for Collaborative Learning, Problem Solving Support, Collaborative Knowledge Building and Sharing, Collaborative Games, Online Experiments - Personalized Learning: Reasoning Techniques, Adaptation Patterns and Techniques, Data Mining, Learner Modeling, Learner Assessment and Testing, Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Instructions, Competencies in Workplace Learning - Multimedia Content: Autoring of Multimedia/ Virtual Reality Content, Multimedia / Virtual Reality Streaming, Web Video Lectures - Semantic Web, Metadata and Learning: Learning Objects, Learning Activities, Learning Design, Narrative and Navigation Models, Semantic Clustering, Metadata for Search and Information Retrieval Workplace Learning: - Knowledge Management and Learning, Business Processes and Learning, Cost and Economy Models, Leveraging Expertise, Informal Learning, Social Software, Organizational Learning, Knowledge Sharing. - Learning Repositories and Infrastructures for Learning: Peer-to-Peer Infrastructures, Runtime Engines for Learning Design and Learning Objects, Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning, Deployment Strategies, Re-Use of Learning Objects, Re-Authoring and Re-Purposing - Experience Reports, Assesment, and Case Studies All submissions will be reviewed for relevance, originality, significance, soundness and clarity by three reviewers. Format: Publication of the proceedings is planned in Springer LNCS (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). For camera-ready format instructions, please see "For Authors" instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The page limit is 15 pages for full papers, 6 pages for posters. Selected papers will be considered for special issues of relevant journals.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Workshop on Networking in Public Transport]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Workshop on Networking in Public Transport Datum: Thu, 2 Mar 2006 20:53:54 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <Lavy.Libman(a)nicta.com.au> Organisation: NICTA An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Please find below the first call for papers for the Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT). We apologize in advance for any cross-postings and duplicates. ========================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT 2006) in conjunction with QShine 2006 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada August 10, 2006 http://www.wnept.org Public transport (PT) systems, including buses, taxis, trains, ships and airplanes, are used daily by millions of people worldwide, ranging from regular commuters in metropolitan areas to long-distance business and leisure travellers. The ability to communicate and access information during travel is becoming increasingly crucial to maintain productivity or provide entertainment for PT passengers. However, despite phenomenal advances in mobile wireless networking technologies in recent years, commercial deployments of special networking solutions to support PT passengers remain scarce (except in airplanes). For the most part, mobile end users can only communicate by connecting directly to their individual wireless service providers. This prevailing situation offers a very limited and often inadequate support for the wide range of applications and needs of PT passengers, such as broadcast of multimedia entertainment and travel-related updates, and interactive multiplayer games. Additionally, networking support to PT vehicles is necessary to enable other PT-specific applications that do not directly involve the passengers, such as real-time surveillance, remote telemetry, and management of PT-specific road infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights on priority bus lanes and rail crossings). All of these require the deployment of integrated on-board network solutions to connect between passengers, content/application servers and other vehicle-mounted devices, neighboring vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and the Internet. Moreover, some inherent features of PT, such as the repetitiveness and predictability of routes and timetables, can be used to design specialized network protocols to further improve the quality of service perceived by PT passengers. Authors are invited to submit original full papers on any aspect of public transport networking. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Broadband access to trains and airplanes * Mobile routers and network mobility * Intra-vehicle networks * IP and IPv6 mobility support for public transport * Multiple access networks in public transport * Authorization and authentication in public transport * Inter-vehicular communications, VANETs * Intermittent-connectivity and delay-tolerant networks * Protocol design for predictable mobility * Signalling between public transport and roadside infrastructure * Content distribution and on-board caching * Location privacy for public transport passengers * Novel public transport applications and services * Billing and charging for public transport networking * Experimental results and practical deployments Important dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2006 Notification: June 16, 2006 Final Version Due: June 30, 2006 For further information and submission instructions, visit http://www.wnept.org . _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Examples of appropriate areas of inquiry include: Improving natural interaction (e.g. applied sensing, fusion and reasoning, AI and speech technologies for Ubicomp, increasing machine understanding of human action & vice versa) Constructing ubicomp systems (e.g., systems and toolkit support for constructing, maintaining and deploying and prototyping Ubicomp environments) Embedding computation (e.g. novel user interfaces, computational and sensing/ actuator platforms, assistive technolgies, applied to Ubicomp) Understanding ubicomp and its consequences (e.g. conceptual models, lessons learnt, user studies and results from Ubicomp experiments) Deploying ubicomp technologies (e.g. privacy, security, and trust, real-world and deployment experiences, studies of ubicomp settings) Ubicomp 2006 seeks papers that reflect the full breadth and scope of ubiquitous computing research, including conceptual development, empirical investigations, technological advances, application experiences, and more. Authors should write for the broader Ubicomp audience, however, and make clear how their work contributes to the whole. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. Papers submitted must not have been previously published or be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication. We solicit papers up to 18 pages but explicitly welcome shorter papers. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers, but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Papers should be formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work. Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. Relevant references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the EDAS system. Note that submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in the call for papers. Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the system using the same link as above. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACF-Members: CFP - Special Issue of JNSM on on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Datum: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:53:34 -0000 Von: David Lewis <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Antwort an: <Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Organisation: TCD An: <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT ========================================= Special Issue on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Manuscript due March 31, 2006 http://www.sce.umkc.edu/jnsm/ The increasing integration of computing power into the fabric of everyday life and the wireless interconnection of embedded and mobile computers is making Mark Weiser's vision of Pervasive Computing a reality. Pervasive computing systems must constantly adapt their behavior in order to meet the needs of users within every changing physical, social, computing and communication context. Pervasive computing elements need to dynamically form ad hoc collaborations to perform useful tasks for mobile users, on-demand. To do this, they must possess sufficient intelligence and knowledge-awareness to react appropriately to a wide range of contexts. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that adaptive behavior experienced by the users and operators of pervasive computing systems is useful, relevant, non-distracting and consistent with individual and organizational goals. However, the complexity and dynamism of pervasive computing systems renders the manual constraint of their operation impractical, and such systems must therefore possess the ability to self-manage and operate within high-level constraints provided by users and operators. Such self-managing, or autonomic, behavior is challenging given the extreme heterogeneity, ad hoc organization and disparate ownership of the elements in any given pervasive computing environment. This special issue aims to bring together work that can contribute to the effective governance of pervasive computing systems: - Autonomic pervasive computing and communications - Policy-based management of pervasive computing environment - Constraint/programming of self-organizing adaptive behavior - Management of context gathering systems - Trust maintenance - Self-management architectures for pervasive computing - Exchange and meaning of autonomic knowledge - Collaborative policy engineering for pervasive computing applications Guest Editors: -------------- David Lewis, Trinity College Dublin (Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie) Simon Dobson, University College Dublin (Simon.Dobson(a)ucd.ie) Instructions to Contributors: ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers to Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Special issue of JoATC on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications]
by Lars Wolf 24 Feb '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special issue of JoATC on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications Datum: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 15:25:51 -0400 Von: Laurence T. Yang <lyang(a)stfx.ca> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org CC: Xiaolin (Andy) Li <xiaolin(a)a.cs.okstate.edu> Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications (URL: http://cs.okstate.edu/~xiaolin/joatc/CFP06.htm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline: June 1st, 2006 As computer systems become increasingly large, complex and pervasive, their self-manageability and trustworthiness play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and business applications. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers, such as, accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters. Identifying and rectifying problems in such complex systems which consist of several heterogeneous software/hardware/network components is non-trivial. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Therefore, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the performance of trustworthy systems. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, and privacy protect-able. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement trusted and self-managing systems, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, the natural sciences, biological sciences, to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. This special issue seeks original contributions of theoretical or practical emphasis in the area of autonomic and trusted computing systems and applications, including but are not limited to: * Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Autonomic Computing Systems and Applications * Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Autonomic Grid Systems, Middleware, and Services * Bio-Inspired System Design * Context-aware Access Control * Economic Models for Autonomic Trusted Computing Systems and Applications * Embedded Trusted and Autonomic Architectures * Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems * Reliability and Availability Issues in Embedded and Sensor Network Systems * Reliability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation * Security Models and Quantification * Sensing, Monitoring and Measurements for Self-Managing Systems * Self-* Design for Ubiquitous Computing * Self-healing, Self-protecting and Fault-tolerant Systems * Software and Hardware Reliability, Verification and Testing * Trusted Autonomic Computing and Communications * Trust Models and Specifications * Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Important Dates: Expression of Interest: May 1st, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 1st, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: November-December, 2006 Submission Information: * Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Transaction manuscript format described in the Guide for Authors at http://www.joatc.org/ * Please limit your paper appropriately so that the final version is approximately 15 pages in length following IEEE Transaction paper styles (single-space double-column). * Your email of intent to submit a paper should include author(s) information, a title and an abstract. * Please email your submission in PDF or MS Word format to the guest editors. * If you are not sure about the suitability of a given topic or if you want to know more details about the special issue's intent, please do not hesitate to contact the guest editors. * All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the rules of JoATC.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated by the Program Committee. An extended abstract (up to three pages) describing the demo will be published in the workshop proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: WNS2 workshop - CFP Datum: Wed, 22 Feb 2006 11:25:08 +0100 Von: David Ros <david.ros(a)enst-bretagne.fr> An: undisclosed-recipients:; (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) ======================================================================== ======== CALL FOR PAPERS WNS2 Workshop on ns-2: the IP network simulator Pisa, Italy -- October 10, 2006 http://www.wns2.org/ SCOPE ----- In recent years, the ns-2 simulator has become one of the de facto standards (if not the standard) for the simulation of packet-switched networks, as attested by the number of research papers and IETF documents based on it, as well as by the wide scope of the networking technologies it handles. It is widely used in both academia and industry as a means of designing, testing and evaluating new and existing protocols and architectures, and it is also a very useful tool for educational purposes. The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) is a one-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS, the First International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/). The main goals of the WNS2 workshop are: to bring together networking researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances, to identify future directions in network simulation, and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop devotes special interest to the future evolution of ns-2, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ This workshop is mainly focused on the simulator in itself. We are especially looking for original contributions that go beyond the use of ns-2 "as is", and try to make it evolve. The following topics are of particular interest: - Development of new simulation models and features, especially in, but not restricted to, the areas of: * Mobile networks, 3G and 4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX... * Delay-tolerant networking. * Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks. * Network mobility (NEMO). * Sensor networks. * Peer-to-peer systems. * Grid computing. - Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches. - Post-processing tools and GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results. Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Validation of ns-2 behavior with experimentation and real data. - Comparative studies of ns-2 and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely-available. - Parallel and distributed versions of ns-2. - Use of ns-2 in teaching networking concepts and techniques. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission Deadline: May 20, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 10, 2006 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- Technical Program Co-chairs: Tania Jiménez (LIA, France) David Ros (GET / ENST Bretagne, France) PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Eitan Altman (INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France) Chadi Barakat (INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France) Armando Caro Jr. (BBN Technologies, USA) Thierry Ernst (Keio University, Japan) Sonia Fahmy (Purdue University, USA) Andrei Gurtov (Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, Finland) Qi He (IBM, USA) Polly Huang (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) Tom Henderson (Boeing, USA) Kun-chan Lan (NICTA, Australia) Saverio Mascolo (Politecnico di Bari, Italy) Nicolas Montavont (GET / ENST Bretagne, France) Giorgio Tonella (USI, Switzerland) Michael Welzl (Leopold-Franzens-University of Innsbruck, Austria) Lloyd Wood (Cisco, UK) SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages in IEEE conference proceedings format (double-column, 11-point font size).
