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. 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 included in the workshop proceedings, published by ACM. More information on demo-proposal submission can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman (section "call for demos").

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Personalized Networks'06 cfp Datum: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 16:50:24 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ First International Workshop on Personalized Networks http://pernets.org/ To be held in conjunction with: The 3rd Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (ACM/IEEE MOBIQUITOUS 2006) July 17-21, 2006 - San Jose, California, USA ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: May 8, 2006 Camera-Ready Submissions: May 31, 2006 (Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library) ============================================================= Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

EC-TEL: First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
by Martin Gutbrod 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

[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. Important Dates: Deadline for Paper Submissions: March 30, 2006 Notification to Authors: June 1, 2006 Camery-Ready Papers: June 30, 2006 Conference: October 3 - 5, 2006 Deadline for Workshop Proposal Submissions: March 30, 2006 Notification of Workshop Acceptance: May 1, 2006 Deadline for Proceedings of Workshops: September 1, 2006 Workshops: October 1 - 2, 2006 Co-located Events and PRO-LC Meetings: September 29 - 30, October 5 - 6, 2006 Program Committee Chairs: Wolfgang Nejdl, Germany Klaus Tochtermann, Austria Publicity Chair: Erik Duval, Belgium Workshop Chair: Peter Scott, UK Industry Chair: Volker Zimmermann, Germany Doctoral Consortium Chairs: Katherine Maillet, France Ralf Klamma, Germany Program Committee Members: Heidrun Allert, Austria Kalina Bontcheva, UK Paul de Bra, The Netherlands Paul Brna, UK Peter Brusilovsky, USA Fabrizio Cardinali, Italy Stefano Ceri, Italy Pierre Dillenbourg, Switzerland Peter Dolog, Germany Erik Duval, Belgium Dieter Euler, Switzerland Monique Grandbastien, France J^rg M.

-------- 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

-------- 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.

NEWS - Technical program will be organized so that papers from ICC 2006 presenters will be scheduled on JUNE 16 and 17. NEWS - Pictures from Lipari: http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/pictures.html ************************************************************ PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS MED HOC NET 2006 The Fifth Annual MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING Workshop http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/ June 14-17 2006 Lipari, Italy ************************************************************ Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years. Now that some of the fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover, wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and exciting technical challenges. Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community. The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but not limited to: - Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures - Routing algorithms and protocols - MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Application driven architectures and protocols - Sensor network applications and protocols - Vehicular networks - Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes - Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.) - Self organization and network reconfiguration - Optimization models and algorithms - Resource and service discovery - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks - Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) - QoS support - Security and privacy The members of program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be published in the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal. Manuscripts must be formatted according to the IEEE double-column standard format, with the exception of the font size, which must be 11pt. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or their equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 8 pages, including figure, tables and references. Med-Hoc-Net will have a Poster/Demo Session as well. Authors that want to present their work in such format are solicited to submit a description of their contribution in no more than 3 pages by April 7, 2006. More details can be found in the web site.
