Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: May 7, 2003. -------------------------------------------------------------------- First Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems (WISES) Vienna University of Technology, Austria, June 27th, 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform a dedicated or narrow range of functions with a minimal user intervention. An intel- ligent system is a system that is able to react appropriately to chang- ing situations without user input and hence, an attractive solution for an embedded system. Main challenges for intelligent solutions in embed- ded systems come from dependability and real-time requirements and from constraints on cost, size, and power consumption. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together students, young researchers, and experienced scientists of this interdisciplinary area to exchange ideas and experiences. We want to encourage submissions de- scribing promising work in progress, papers on experimental systems, and well-founded position papers concerning the usage of intelligent methods in embedded systems engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Sensor data processing * Fault tolerance and robustness * Intelligent ressource planning * Adaptive control systems * Biologically inspired systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted Manuscripts should be full papers or extended abstracts (minimum 700 words). Full papers are limited to a length of 5000 words. Submissions will only be accepted electronically via email to wises(a)vmars.tuwien.ac.at, in either PDF or postscript format.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Nicola Henze [mailto:henze@kbs.uni-hannover.de] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. April 2003 15:16 An: l3s(a)learninglab.de Betreff: [Fwd: CFP Workshop "MobileBenutzer - Mobiles Wissen- Mobiles Internet"] Call for Papers =============== +------- | | Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet | | Workshop im Rahmen der 33. Jahrestagung der | Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. | | Frankfurt am Main, 30.9. - 2.10.2003 | | http://www.informatik2003.de | http://ivs.tu-berlin.de/mobilesWissen | +-------- Hintergrund und Motivation des Workshops ---------------------------------------- Wissen ist in unserer post-industriellen Gesellschaft zu einem wesentlichen ökonomischen Faktor geworden. Das Management von Wissen gewinnt damit zunehmend an Bedeutung für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg von Unternehmen. Allerdings ist Wissen wertlos, wenn es nicht zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort und in der richtigen Form zur Verfügung steht. Wissensmanagement entfaltet sein Potential erst dann vollständig, wenn es integraler Bestandteil von Geschäftsprozessen geworden ist. Die Prozesse finden aber zunehmend dezentral statt, bis hin zu virtuellen Arbeitsgruppen oder gar virtuellen Unternehmen. Es gilt, mobile Geräte, dezentralisierte Prozesse und Wissensmanagement als zusammengehöriges Thema aufzufassen, als mobiles Wissensmanagement. Im Kontext des Internets wird die Darstellung von Wissensinhalten und Zusammenhängen unter der Bezeichnung Semantic Web subsumiert. Ziel der Semantic Web-Aktivitäten ist es, Internet-Dokumente jeglicher Art semantisch anzureichern, um ihre maschinelle Verarbeitung zu unterstützen. Arbeiten im Bereich Topic Maps gehören zu diesen Aktivitäten hinzu. Gleichzeitig verlagert sich die Informationsverarbeitung immer mehr von stationären Rechnern hin zu mobilen Endgeräten wie Laptop, PDA und Mobiltelefon. Die Möglichkeit, Wissen mit hoher Bandbreite ortunabhängig auf mobile Endgeräte zu transportieren, zwischen diesen direkt auszutauschen und Wissen auch offline zu benutzen, eröffnet völlig neue Potentiale im Bezug auf Geschäftsprozesse und Kundeninteraktionen. Aufgrund dieser Potentiale ist es sinnvoll und erforderlich, sich näher mit Fragen zu möglichen Einsatzbereichen des mobilen Wissensmanagements, der Realisierung von mobilen Anwendungen und mit technischen, organisatorischen und prozessbezogenen Aspekten der Einbindung von mobilen Endgeräten in das Wissensmanagement auseinander zu setzen. Dank mobiler Geräte und semantische Informationen werden Prozesse der Entdeckung, Verarbeitung, Weitergabe und Speicherung von Wissen technisch mehr unterstützt werden, als es derzeit der Fall ist. Gerade aber das Entdecken von Wissen und die Motivation der Menschen dieses Wissen zur Verfügung zu stellen wird durch die derzeitige und auch die zukünftige Technologie noch nicht hinreichend unterstützt. Jeder von und kennt die Schwierigkeiten Mitarbeiter zu motivieren Ihren Beitrag zur "Wissensdatenbank" in Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Vorbilder hierfür sind soziale Netzwerke, in denen Neuigkeiten je nach Interessenlage und Kontakten zwischen den Akteuren des Netzwerks wandern. In diesem Zusammenhang sind auch Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke interessant, die ohne eine zentrale Instanz, Wissensflüsse in sich schnell ändernden Umgebungen unterstützen. Für den Workshop "Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet" werden Beiträge zu den nachfolgend aufgeführten Themengebieten erbeten. Auch auf das Thema mobiles Wissensmanagement bezogene Beiträge, die sich schwerpunktmäßig mit einem der Teilgebiete, d.h. mobile Technologien oder Wissensmanagement, befassen, sind für den Workshop von Interesse, wenn sie dabei die Möglichkeit einer Integration in das Gesamtgebiet berücksichtigen. Im Workshop werden Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen zu Wort kommen. Es besteht die Hoffnung, dass daraus am Ende des Workshops neue - gerade auch interdisziplinäre - Kooperationen entstehen. Potentiale, innovative Anwendungen im mobilen Wissensmanagement --------------------------------------------------------------- * Integration mobiler Anwendungen in Wissensmanagementsysteme * Nutzungspotentiale und Einsatzbereiche von mobilen Anwendungen (bspw. E-Learning, Medizin) * Kontext-sensitive, personalisierte Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Möglichkeiten spontaner Vernetzung und Peer-to-Peer Kommunikation * Realisierte Lösungen im Bereich mobiles Wissensmanagement * Praxiserfahrungen bezüglich Akzeptanz von mobilen Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Anreizsysteme für mobile Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Modellierung mobiler Wissensflüsse Mobile Technologien ------------------- * Mobiles Internet * Spontane Netzwerke * Überblick und Bewertung der technischen Infrastruktur von mobilen Anwendungen * Lösungsmöglichkeiten hinsichtlich technischer Grenzen wie Übertragungskapazitäten, unterschiedliche Displaygrößen (Präsentation und Benutzungsoberflächen) mobiler Endgeräte, usw. * Überblick über mobile Technologien * Überblick über Abrechnungsmodelle für mobile Mehrwertdienste Wissensmanagement ----------------- * Wissensentdeckung, -speicherung, -verarbeitung, -bewertung * Methoden und Anreizsysteme, Wissen der Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung zu stellen. * Wissensmodellierung * Workflows für wissensintensive Prozesse * Kollaborative Anwendungen im Wissensmanagement * Information Retrieval, Push-Technologien, intelligente Agenten als Werkzeuge zur Informationsvermittlung * Werkzeuge für den Aufbau und der Pflege von Wissens- und Informationsräumen (Semantic Web, Topic Maps) * Integration von Wissensmanagement und Content Management Wichtige Termine ---------------- 15.

[Fwd: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools]
by Lars Wolf 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 11:55:11 +0200 From: Hartmut Ritter <hritter(a)inf.fu-berlin.de> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: <MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de> Call for Papers WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003, Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: - Reproducibility of experimental network research - Investigation of scaling effects - Common code basis for simulation and implementation - Mathematical methods for error assessment - Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes - Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments - Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations - Benchmarking and measurement techniques - Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools - Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: 1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics, and 3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission webpage (not yet available) for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks. Topics of Interest This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to: (a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

[Fwd: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine]
by Lars Wolf 31 Mar '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:04:19 -0500 From: Chuah, Mooi Choo (Mooi) <chuah(a)lucent.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers Supporting Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Services in 3G/4G Networks Special Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine Motivation Current 3G system provides point to point service. There is a strong interest to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service over 3G network. Such multicast services allow unidirectional point-to-multipoint transmission of multimedia data (e.g. text, audio, picture, video) from a single source point to a multicast group in a multicast area. An example of a service using the multicast mode could be a football results service for which a subscription is required. Work has started in 3GPP and 3GPP2 to investigate how to enhance 3G system to provide multicast service. Many design issues need to be worked out before multicast services can be deployed in 3G systems. For an example, questions like how the 3G system admits multicast services, how the radio access network selects between the use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio bearers to deliver MBMS services, how the network alert MBMS subscribed users on the availability of MBMS streams. Mobility management of MBMS users need to be considered too. Handoffs from one cell/Radio Network Controller to another need to be fast such that packet losses for MBMS streams are acceptable. Since users are expected to be charged for such multicast issues, authentication and security issues related to MBMS needs to be worked out. Scope In response to the above momentum, this special issue aims at providing a timely and concise update of the current activities and findings in this area. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these services. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics such as: * Enhanced 3G architecture design for MBMS services * Radio resource management strategies for MBMS services * Paging Strategy for MBMS services * Overlay WLAN/3G architecture for providing MBMS services * Airlink Scheduling for MBMS services * Power control issues for MBMS services * Security/Authentication Issues for MBMS services * Performance Studies All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Communication Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please submit your electronic manuscript in word or pdf format to one of the guest editors by June 30th, 2003. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow for a better issue planning.
