PERVASIVE 2005 seeks to present advances in computing technology toward new modes of operation (ubiquitous, continuous, and self-organized) and toward new usage models (ambient, context-aware, and integral with human activity and environments). The conference particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of pervasive systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Device, communication, and interaction technologies for pervasive computing * Pervasive sensing and perception, and location and context technologies * Software infrastructure for pervasive computing systems and environments * Design, implementation and evaluation of pervasive systems and applications * Pervasive computing user interfaces and user experience * Privacy, security and trust in pervasive computing Late Breaking Results, Videos and Demonstrations ------------------------------------------------ PERVASIVE 2005 aims to be a forum to communicate novel and innovative ideas and very recent findings in pervasive computing. PERVASIVE 2005 will include a poster, video and demo program to give researchers opportunity to present their research in a variety of engaging formats. We explicitly encourage submission of late breaking results and work in progress in these categories. For each category, we encourage the submission of a short paper describing the contribution and as an anchor point for future reference. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style and up to 4 pages. All submissions will be handled using an electronic submission system. The submission will be open beginning of January 2005. Contributions will be reviewed and accepted short papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings of PERVASIVE 2005 which will be also electronically available from the web-site. The posters will be exhibited in the main conference area throughout the program. There will be a reception dedicated to the presentation of posters and demos. Furthermore, before the reception the authors have the chance to briefly introduce their work in a single plenary session. Please Visit the conference Web site (http://pervasive2005.org) for more information. General questions about specific categories of submissions can be addressed to the respective chairs: Late Breaking Results Chair: Alois Ferscha <ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at> Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Demo Chair: Thomas Strang <Thomas.Strang(a)dlr.de> German Aerospace Center (DLR) Video Chair: Andreas Butz <butz(a)ifi.lmu.de> Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Doctoral Colloquium ------------------- A doctoral colloquium will be held directly before the main conference, as a forum for PhD students to present, discuss and defend their work in progress. This will build on the huge success of the PERVASIVE 2004 doctoral colloquium held at the University of Linz, at which 28 PhD students from around the world discussed their work with an international group of advisors selected from across the pervasive computing community. The submission (approx. 6 pages/3000 words) should clearly state: * the original key idea of the thesis * the problem domain and the specific problem addressed * an overview of related work in the area of the PhD work * methodological approach * research carried out * the contribution made in the field of Pervasive Computing (for early work, state the expected contribution) Submissions in PDF format using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style should be sent by February 1st 2005 electronically dc.pervasive2005(a)hcilab.org. The submissions will be reviewed and based on these reviews candidates for the doctoral colloquium will be selected. The accepted thesis position papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings of PERVASIVE 2005 which will be also electronically available from the web-site.

The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Position Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Location is also one of the primary aspects (such as time, identity and activity) of all major context models. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. Submission Guidelines: Authors are requested to submit full papers in Adobe PDF format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee and additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. All paper submissions will be handled eletronically by the EDAS system. Note that submission is a two stage process - you will need to register your paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the system using the same link as above. The site will close for submissions at 03:00 EDT on 18 December 2004. All accepted papers will be contained in the workshop proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 12 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: 17 December 2004 Notification: 31 January 2005 Camera ready deadline: 28 February 2005 Workshop date: 12-13 May 2005 Workshop Chairs: Thomas Strang Claudia Linnhoff-Popien Technical Program Committee Members: Alessandro Acquisti, CMU (USA) Victor Bahl, Microsoft (USA) Christian Becker, Stuttgart University (Germany) Anind K.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: IEEE JSAC MRNM]
by Lars Wolf 30 Nov '04

seems to fit pretty well with some of our work; in generel, JSAC is a highly rated journal -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: IEEE JSAC MRNM Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 20:04:21 -0800 (PST) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only.

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks - Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks - Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications - Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks - Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems - Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems - Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines.

[Fwd: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05)]
by Lars Wolf 22 Nov '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 12:52:03 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for proposals: Special session "Adaptive Video Streaming" at ICIP05 Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 15:29:38 +0100 From: Markus Kampmann (AC/EDD) <markus.kampmann(a)ericsson.com> To: 'special-session-icip05-recipients(a)ericsson.com' > Dear colleagues, > > I am currently planning for a special session about "adaptive video streaming" at the next IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP'05, Genova, Italy, 11-14 September 2005 (see http://www.icip05.org/call.htm). > > While video streaming is likely to become one of the most important services for mobile terminals in the near future, obtaining satisfactory quality from an end user perspective is still a challenge because of the varying conditions typical for wireless links and the limited capabilities of the mobile terminal. In order to avoid quality degradations caused by varying link rates, delay variations or cell updates, a streaming solution requires capabilities commonly referred to as > "> Adaptive Streaming> "> . > Adaptive Streaming means that during the streaming session the transmission link characteristic is monitored and the streaming server changes its behavior if needed. Reaction to changed link conditions can include a multitude of different techniques, e.g. adjusting the rate at which the server transmits packets (transmission rate control), deciding which packets of the pre-encoded content to send or drop (packet scheduling) or switching to a stream with a content bit rate better suited to the current available bandwidth of the wireless link (stream switching). Recently, adaptive streaming features are included into Release 6 of the 3GPP streaming standard PPS. However, concrete reactions of the streaming server to changed link conditions are out of the scope of PSS. > > The special session about "adaptive video streaming" should describe the current status of research within this area. Therefore, I would appreciate it very much if you could contribute to this special session with a proposal for a paper. > Your paper proposal should include the author names, paper title and a short abstract of around 100 words. Please send it to me until November 25th. I will forward it to the ICIP program committee for approval. Please note that a special session at ICIP contains a maximum of eight papers. > > Best regards, > > Markus Kampmann > > > Dr.-Ing.
