New computing and communication technologies have brought up a multitude of challenging application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, ubiquitous services, service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-adapting systems, peer-to-peer systems, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for novel abstractions supporting the development, deployment, management and interoperability of evolutionary and complex applications and services, such as those bridging the physical/virtual worlds. Therefore, the linkage between applications, platforms and users through multi-disciplinary user requirements (like security, privacy, usability, efficiency, safety, semantic and pragmatic interoperability of data and services, dependability, trust and self-adaptivity) becomes of special interest. It is envisaged that future complex applications will far exceed those of today in terms of these requirements. The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [Green Communications] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine SI on Green Communications Datum: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:32:38 +0800 Von: Honggang Zhang <honggangzhang(a)zju.edu.cn> Organisation: Zhejiang Univeristy, China An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP) IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications" The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses. If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a myriad of communications and information technologies have already been exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow. To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum).

Email: aderhab(a)mail.cerist.dz, Tel: +213 772 50 59 50. http://abdelouahid.derhab.googlepages.com Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment and to collect the relevant data. For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guideline and publication Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

Due to the dynamic and ubiquitous nature of this content (and associated descriptors), new interesting challenges for indexing, access, and search and retrieval have arisen. In addition, there is a growing concern on privacy protection, as a lot of personal data is being exchanged. Teenagers (and even younger kids), for example, require special protection applications; while adults are willing to have a higher control over the access to content. Furthermore, the integration of mobile technologies with the Web 2.0 applications is also an interesting area of research that needs to be addressed; not only in terms of content protection, but also considering the implementation of new and enriched context-aware applications. Finally, social multimedia is also expected to improve the performance of traditional multimedia information search and retrieval approaches by contributing to bridge the semantic gap. The integration of these aspects, however, is not trivial and has created a new interdisciplinary area of research. In any case, there is a common issue that needs to be addressed in all the previously identified social multimedia applications: the interoperability and extensibility of their applications. Thus, the workshop is particularly interested in research contributions based on standards. It is the 10th International Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community: http://www.multimedia-metadata.info/ Topics: ======= Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Privacy in social networks * Access control in social networks * Social media analysis * Social media retrieval * Context-awareness in social networks * Mobile applications scenario * Social networks ontologies and interoperability * Security and privacy ontologies * Content distribution over social networks * Multimedia ontologies and interoperability * Multimedia search and retrieval * Semantic metadata management * Collaborative tagging * Interaction between access control and privacy policies * Social networks and policy languages * Policy management Important Dates: ================ * Submission due (all papers): 28th February 2010 * Workshop date: 19th-20th May 2010 * Workshop venue: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona (Spain) Contributions: ============== We invite the following types of contributions: Research Papers: Papers should describe original and significant work in the research and industrial practice of related topics.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 16:51:06 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 3 weeks left ========== Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Intenational Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N 2010): Submission deadline: 14 Feb 2010 Datum: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 08:57:35 -0800 (PST) Von: Stan Lin <cklin_1999(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple postings *************************************************************************** Call for Papers The First International Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N) in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM's 10) May 23 (temporary date), 2010, Kansas City, USA http://q2s.ntnu.no/events/qos2n/start Submission deadline: February 14, 2010 *************************************************************************** Data management in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is challenging, especially with mobile sensor nodes joining or leaving the network at will. Recently it has become increasingly popular to utilize sensor networks for providing various services, e.g., audio/video surveillance, real-time monitoring, etc. Such WSN functionality demands the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in terms of delay, jitter, loss, or throughput using intelligent resource reservation schemes, policy-based service provision, etc. Enabling QoS guarantees in large-scale WSNs, while utilizing the network resources in the most efficient way, is critical for the success and life-time of the service-oriented WSNs. Providing QoS in WSNs involves addressing various technological issues, e.g., inherent limitations of sensors, varying network loads, network congestion, multi-path routing, changing channel capacity as a function of environment, time, and interference from neighbors, mobility and cross-layer design, etc. In addition, the trade-off between predictable network behavior and network lifetime, as well as between policy-based route selection and load distribution need further investigation. Privacy of sensor information is also a concern since multiple sensors share/access a common media. QoS2N workshop aims at providing a platform for discussing the above issues, recent challenges and solutions, and directions for future research on enabling QoS in WSNs. Researchers, professionals and application developers from industry and academia are welcome to exchange ideas, discuss results, and share experience in a broad range of topics related to QoS and sensor networking. Both theoretical and practical experience papers are solicited. Work-in-progress and position papers are welcome. The topics of interest in the setting of wireless sensor networks include but are not limited to • Algorithms and protocol to support QoS in wireless sensor networks • QoS metrics • QoS routing • User perceived quality • Game theoretical model and communication • QoS schemes at the data link layer and the network layer • Cross-layer architecture • Policy-based routing • Class adaptation schemes • Admission control, resource allocation and fairness • Real-time scheduling and planning • Power management and energy-efficient design • Networking protocols and architectures • Image quality in video-surveillance sensor networks • Provisioning of QoS (bandwidth and delay) in multimedia sensor systems • Performance modeling and simulation techniques • Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking • Data Management of RFID system • Privacy and security We solicit original unpublished work written in English that is not currently under review at another venue. The submitted long papers should be no more than 6 pages and the short and position papers should be no more than 3 pages. All papers follow IEEE two-column style format and are subject to peer review by at least two experts in the same field.

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 1st March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 19th March 2010: Notification of acceptance - 5th April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of three pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: Shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ========================================================

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management Quality of services (QoS) delivery Seamless Mobility Robust and scalable routing protocols MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover Self-configuration and synchronization Security Topology control and management Mobility models and location management Cross-layer design and interactions Modeling and performance evaluation Algorithms for localization and signal processing Implementation testbeds Operating systems and middleware Organisers Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

The papers should not be longer than 25-30 pages, single column, double space, 11 or 12 pt font, including figures, tables and references. They must be submitted in the form of PDF file to the submission system https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/IMMC/. Information about the manuscript (title, full list of authors, corresponding author’s contact, abstract, and keywords) should also be sent to the corresponding editor Meng Wang (mengwang(a)microsoft.com <mailto:mengwang@microsoft.com>). All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. ------------------------- *Summary* ------------------------- Recent years have witnessed the flourish of multimedia data on the Internet. To facilitate humans in accessing and managing the explosively growing multimedia content, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to automatic multimedia analysis and processing in the last decades, such as categorization, annotation and indexing. However, despite great advances in recent years, several key difficulties still exist, the most important of which is the semantic gap in multimedia modeling. It is evident from recent results that most of the semantic gap problems cannot be solved automatically within the near future and without additional information or resources. On the other hand, we have witnessed the power of collective human efforts in the Web 2.0 era in providing high-quality tags and comments to large amounts of images and videos in sites such as Flickr and YouTube. In fact, a lot more can be accomplished through simple online games such as the ESP. Hence, more and more researchers believe that a possible approach to addressing the semantic gap problem is to incorporate the efforts of humans into the computational process, i.e., by combining human intelligence and automated computer processing to jointly tackle the problems in a collaborative manner. The past decade has witnessed the increase of such efforts, such as relevance feedback in content-based image retrieval, active learning in multimedia modeling, the interactive video search evaluation task in TRECVID, new search and browsing interfaces in VideoOlympics to facilitate humans’ interaction, and the recent human computation efforts such as the ESP game on Google image search website. This special issue aims to bring together the range of research efforts in interactive multimedia computing.

Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore. High quality accepted and presented papers will be indexed by EI. (pending) Cognitive radio is an emerging technology in wireless access, aimed at vastly improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. CRNet 2010 is devoted to the development of cognitive radio-based transmission and networking technologies in wireless communications. The workshop provides a forum for discussion of all these developments among engineers, scientists and researchers. The attribution of cognition in the wireless world is one of the most exciting areas in modern telecommunications. As an emerging technology in wireless access, cognitive radio is aimed at vastly improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. The motivation for cognitive radio stems from various measurements of spectrum utilization, which generally show that spectrum is under-utilized. This means that there are many "holes" in the radio spectrum that could be exploited by the secondary users. The secondary user must exploit these spectrum opportunities without causing harmful degradation to the primary system . The research challenges in this area include devising methods for efficient spectrum pooling and sensing, for capacity-approaching transmission scheme, for interference management and dynamic resource allocation, and for cross-layer design of protocols, as well as circuits and architectures meeting the often challenging requirements. The objective of this workshop is to bring together original, high-quality contributions that present new techniques, concepts and analyses in the area of cognitive radio algorithms and system design. Specific topics of the conference include (but not limited to): * Spectrum sensing and pooling * Network design and optimization * Resource management * Cross-layer design * Channel modeling and transmission scheme * Collaborative communications * Beamforming and multicast methods Important Dates Submission due: March 25, 2010 Notification date: May 25, 2010 Camera-ready due: June 15, 2010 Workshop dates: Aug 25, 2010 (tentative) General co-chair Jun Wang, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, P.R.

Such a network consists of many small sensor nodes with sensing, computing, communicating, and control capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring, battlefield surveillance, to border control and disaster relief, and have attracted significant interests from both academy and industry. A wireless sensor node generally has limited communication and computation capabilities, as well as severely-constrained power supplies, and the networks often operate in harsh unattended environments. Successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks thus call for technology advances and integrations in diverse fields, including embedded hardware design, data processing, and wireless communications and networking across all layers. One of the key challenges in WSNs is to develop sustainable and scalable system that achieves longer network lifetime. Nodes capable of harvesting environmental energy have been designed and used in many WSN systems. The benefits of using rechargeable batteries by harvesting environmental energy to prolong sensor network lifetime have been well recognized. This special issue aims to summarize the latest development of hardware and software for WSNs, as well as deployment experiences. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ? Novel transport, network, and MAC protocol design ? Smart in-network processing and control ? Disruption-tolerant/opportunistic mobile sensor networking ? Cross layer design and optimization, duty cycle management ? Channel and network modeling and performance evaluation ? Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds ? New and novel methods for harvesting environment energy ? Hardware design ? Novel applications and architectures We solicit original unpublished research papers only. Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but should be substantially extended.

The basic solution to meet such requirements is to allow mobile computer users with (compatible) wireless communication devices to set up a (possibly) short-lived network just for the communication needs of the moment- in other words, an ad-hoc network. A mobile ad hoc network (Manet) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be internetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure, or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks (with hundreds of nodes) to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Dynamic topologies, bandwidth constraints, energy-constrained operations, wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multi-hop networks. The field of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networking is reemerging amid unprecedented growth in the scale and diversity of computer networking. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are considered as a key technology for next-generation wireless networking. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways, where mesh routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. Mesh clients can be either stationary or mobile, and can form a client mesh network among themselves and with mesh routers. The gateway and mesh routers are utilized to provide the internetworking of WMNs with other networks such as the Internet, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, cellular networks, wireless sensor networks, or combinations of several types of networks. Because of the many advantages, WMNs are undergoing rapid development and inspiring numerous deployments. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of large populations of spatially distributed sensor nodes to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants, at different locations. A sensor node is an autonomous device which is capable of computation, communication, and sensing. Wireless sensor networks have many useful applications such as hostile environment surveillance, industrial process monitoring, environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. Topics of Interest: The Ad hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium seeks original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: * Applications and Evolutions of Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * Autonomic Networking * Wireless, Ad Hoc, and Sensor Devices * Physical Layer Design of Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks * Frequency and Channel Allocation Algorithms * Topology Control and Management * Algorithms and Modeling for Localization, Target Tracking, and Mobility Management * Architectures of Wireless Communication and Mobile Computing in Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks * MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control and Routing for Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks * Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile, Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * Integrated Simulation and Measurement based Evaluation of Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems * New Simulation Languages, Methodologies, and Tools for Wireless Systems in Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks * Analysis of Correctness and Efficiency of Protocols * Data Management, Data Aggregation, Data Dissemination, and Query Processing * Distributed Algorithms in Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks * Pricing Modeling and Solutions * Pervasive and Wearable Computing * Co-existence Issues of Hybrid Networks * Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile, wireless Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks * Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile and Ad Hoc Networks * Service Discovery for Wireless Ad Hoc, Mesh, and Sensor Networks * Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks * Mobile Service and QoS Management for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks * Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks * Ubiquitous and Mobile Access for Wireless Mesh Networks * Security and Privacy Issues in Wireless Ad Hoc, Mesh, and Sensor Networks Important Dates: * Paper Submission: 15 March 2010 Paper Submission Link: http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7409 * Paper Acceptance: 1 July 2010 * Camera-ready Paper: 1 August 2010 Co-Chairs Hossam Hassanein, Lead Co-Chair Queens University, Canada Phone: 613-533-6052, Email: hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca Xiaohua Jia City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Phone: 852-2788-9670, Email: csjia(a)cityu.edu.hk Sirisha Medidi Boise State University, USA Phone: 208-426-2623, Email: sirishamedidi(a)boisestate.edu Cheng Li Memorial University, Canada Phone: 709-737-8972, E-mail: licheng(a)mun.ca _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20, 2008, and TSP-09 in Macau SAR, China, during October 12-14, 2009, “The Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10)” will be held in Bradford, UK, during June 29-July 1, 2010, in conjunction with “The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010)”, aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as technical, social, and cultural implications for all emerging devices, services, applications, networks, and systems, and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research area. Scope and Interests TSP-10 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends in trust, security and privacy for emerging applications from both the research community as well as the industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) TSP metrics, architectures, and models (2) TSP in pervasive computing (3) TSP in peer to peer computing (4) TSP in grid computing (5) TSP in cloud computing (6) TSP in mobile and wireless communications (7) TSP in cyber-physical systems (8) TSP in parallel and distributed systems (9) TSP in e-commerce and e-government systems (10) TSP in hardware and software co-design (11) TSP in operating systems (12) TSP in database systems (13) TSP in virtualization technologies (14) Privacy and anonymity technologies (15) Risk analysis and management (16) Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance (17) Network attacks and defenses (18) Cryptography and security protocols (19) Authentication, access control, and accounting (20) Miscellaneous TSP issues Submission and Publication Information The accepted papers from this symposium will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE CIT-10 proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers - Telecommunication Systems - SI on Advances in Security and Multimodality for Pervasive Computing Environments Datum: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:42:17 +1100 Von: Naveen Chilamkurti <N.Chilamkurti(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Telecommunication Systems, Springer Modelling, Analysis, Design and Management Editor-in-Chief: Bezalel Gavish ISSN: 1018-4864 (print version) ISSN: 1572-9451 (electronic version) Special Issue on "Advances in Security and Multimodality for Pervasive Computing Environments" SMPE-10: http://www.ftrg.org/smpe2010 Pervasive, or ubiquitous, computing calls for the deployment of a wide variety of smart devices throughout our working and living spaces. These devices are intended to react to their environment and coordinate with each other and with other network services. This results in a giant, ad-hoc distributed system, with tens of thousands of people, devices, and services coming and going. Due to the uncertainty and mobility of pervasive computing environments, trust modelling has been regarded as an important problem. Context-awareness, mobility and integration are the properties every pervasive computing environment embodies. Pervasive computing environments (PE) present specific peculiarities with respect to aspects like security and multimodality. While enlarging and easing the ways to access to the environment, security threats arise and the environment must be properly equipped in order to protect itself from malicious attacks and/or from wrong action performed by inexpert user s. Research areas of relevance to this special issue as listed, but not only limited to: * Context-Awareness in multimodal applications * Middleware services for multimodal and pervasive applications * Trust models and frameworks for PE * Multimodal mobile and ubiquitous services * Intelligent Context-Aware System Architecture in PE * Security model for pervasive computing * Advanced multimodal interfaces * Human oriented interfaces * Virtual reality and ubiquitous computing * Security standards for next pervasive computing * Key management and authentication in pervasive computing * Security in Human Centred Environments * Intelligent multimedia security services in pervasive computing Important Dates Submission of Manuscripts May 30, 2010 Decision Notification September 30, 2010 Submission of Camera ready paper October 30, 2010 Publication 1st or 2nd Quarter, 2011 (Tentative) Submission Guideline Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer reviewed conferences are sought.

Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Special Issue Papers on Software Architectures and Application Development Environments for Cloud Computing
by Lars Wolf 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Special Issue Papers on Software Architectures and Application Development Environments for Cloud Computing Datum: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:41:05 +1100 Von: Rajiv Ranjan <rranjans(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * Our apologies, in case you received multiple copies. * * * *Special Issue on*** *Software Architectures and Application Development Environments for Cloud Computing* * * *Software: Practice and Experience* *Publisher: Wiley InterScience* ** **** Call for Papers **** Cloud computing is positioning itself as a promising platform for delivering infrastructure (IaaS), platform (PaaS), and software (SaaS) as services. To this end, developing tools and technologies that can build, access, manage, deploy, and maintain applications in clouds in a developer-friendly manner has become critical. Clouds aim to power the next generation data centers by architecting them as a network of virtual services (hardware, database, user-interface, application logic) so that users are able to deploy and access applications globally and on demand at competitive costs depending on users QoS (Quality of Service) requirements. Cloud infrastructures are exposed through collections of software services at SaaS and PaaS layers designed to support creation and deployment of application services. Currently, public IaaS vendors including Amazon (web services), Microsoft (.Net), Google (python), and GoGrid offer different level of software programming abstractions and interfaces. Next, these are implemented using different programming languages, hence should be accessed through Vendor-dependent adapter interfaces. Traditional distributed (RPC, RMI, CORBA) and enterprise programming technologies (J2EE, .Net, SOA), and tools are insufficient to handle the complexity posed by Cloud computing platforms. There are significant programming challenges to be solved, if an enterprise or scientific application has to be ported to clouds. The application services arriving at a public cloud also have radically different application characteristics and workload profiles, ranging from the traditional e-Commerce application types, to the newer social networking and collaboration applications, to the enterprise business applications such as CRM and ERP, and to the scientific computing and data intensive type of applications. Further, there is possibility to create Cloud mashup applications that can combine data and functionality from multiple external services that are offered by different SaaS and PaaS vendors. Hence, there is a need to develop tools, programming APIs, and plug-ins, IDEs that can hide the complexity of Cloud platforms from the application service developers. The primary objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art in design and development of Cloud application service programming environments, tools and technologies. * * *Topics* Areas of interest for this special issue include the following: - Software architectures for SaaS and PaaS - Programming models for cloud applications - Cloud application deployment tools - Public and private cloud application and data integration architectures - Portability of applications and data between different cloud providers - Programming tools, plug-ins, and technologies for application monitoring, provisioning - Software architectures for cross-cloud integration and inter-operability - Web portals for provisioning, monitoring, and deploying Cloud applications - Experiences with cloud SaaS and PaaS systems - Case study involving enterprise, business, and government services deployment on clouds Instructions for Special Issue · The editors of the special issue are Rajiv Ranjan, Rajkumar Buyya, and Boualem Benatallah. - Please submit a paper to Manuscript Central<http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cpe>for special issue by May 10th, 2010 - Notification of Acceptance and Reviewer comments will be given by July 10, 2010. - Final Papers are due August 10, 2010. - Accepted papers are expected to appear in Ist Quarter, 2011 (Tentative). - The submitted papers must have at least 30% difference from the conference original papers. - There is a 20 page length limit (12 point single space inclusive of figures and tables). - Wiley has Latex templates<http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/77004395/LaTexClassFile.h…>but no special templates for Word; most papers are submitted in Word.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Workshop on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation (CoMetS) Datum: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:07:56 +0100 Von: Daniele Gianni <daniele.gianni(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ################################################################# IEEE WETICE 2010 1st International Workshop on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation CALL FOR PAPERS ################################################################# June 28 - June 30, 2010, Larissa (Greece) * **http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/CoMetS10* <http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/CoMetS10> ################################################################# # Papers Due: *** March 2, 2010 *** # Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings # by the IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed by EI. ################################################################# Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central activity in the design of new systems and in the analysis of existing systems because it enables designers and researchers to investigate systems behavior through virtual representations. For this reason, M&S is gaining a primary role in many industrial and research fields, such as space, critical infrastructures, manufacturing, emergency management, biomedical systems and sustainable future. However, as the complexity of the investigated systems increases and the types of investigations widens, the cost of M&S activities increases because of the more complex models and of the communications among a wider number and variety of M&S stakeholders (e.g., sub-domain experts, simulator users, simulator engineers, and final system users). To address the increasing costs of M&S activities, collaborative technologies must be introduced to support these activities by fostering the sharing and reuse of models, by facilitating the communications among M&S stakeholders, and more generally by integrating processes, tools and platforms. Aside from seeking applications of collaborative technologies to M&S activities, the workshop seeks innovative contributions that deal with the application of M&S practices to the design of collaborative environments. These environments are continuously becoming more complex and therefore their design requires systematic approaches to meet the required quality of collaboration. This is important for two reasons: to reduce rework activities on the actual collaborative environment, and to maximize the productivity and the quality of the process the collaborative environment supports. M&S offers the methodologies and tools for such investigations and therefore it can be used to improve the quality of collaborative environments. A non-exhaustive list of hi-level topics includes: * collaborative environments for M&S * agent-based M&S * collaborative distributed simulation * net-centric M&S * web-based M&S * model sharing and reuse * model building and evaluation * modeling and simulation of business processes * modeling for collaboration * simulation-based performance evaluation of collaborative networks * model-driven simulation engineering * domain specific languages for the simulation of collaborative environments * domain specific languages for collaborative M&S To stimulate creativity, however, the workshop maintains a wider scope and invites interested researchers to present contributions that offer original perspectives on collaboration and M&S. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CoMetS'10 intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications and trends in the workshop research area.

An emerging trend is the collaboration of miniature devices to achieve a common goal. Representative examples include wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing and embedded systems. Along this trend, the notion of Cooperating Objects collectively refers to embedded computing devices equipped with communication as well as sensing or actuation capabilities, able to cooperate and organize themselves autonomously into networks to achieve a common task. As such, Cooperating Objects envision a single, coherent system formed by a wide range of devices, including those from the areas mentioned above. The complexity germane to the interaction inside and across networks of Cooperating Objects presents a rich set of research questions, and entails a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as networking, software engineering, and control theory. CONET 2010 will provide a discussion forum for researchers, aimed at fostering synergy and convergence of complementary areas towards the vision of networks of Cooperating Objects. Work-in-progress systems, provocative ideas, and position papers paving the road towards such synergy and convergence are particularly welcome. Topics of Interest ================== Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop. The topics of interest include theoretical and empirical work in, but not limited to: - Resource management of Cooperating Objects - Quality-of-Service in networks of Cooperating Objects - Hardware platforms for Cooperating Objects - Mobile and distributed sensing - Hybrid cooperation of static and mobile nodes - Communication and control of mobile Cooperating Objects - Distributed control and estimation over networks - Decentralized algorithms for control over wireless sensor networks - Decentralized, distributed, and cooperative optimization - Applications of control of Cooperating Objects - Real-time aspects of Cooperation Objects - System software for Cooperating Objects - Communication support for Cooperating Objects - Real-world deployments of Cooperating Objects - Applications of Cooperating Objects to Body Area Networks - Cooperating Objects in Complex Systems - Security and Privacy in Cooperating Objects - Enterprise Integration of Cooperating Objects - Application of wireless sensor networks on Pervasive computing - Closed-loop applications of pervasive computing Paper Submission ================ A paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.

Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time.

Please send to interested colleagues and students. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### 12th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services (MobileHCI 2010), September 7-10, 2010, Lisboa, Portugal *A Mobile World for All* http://www.mobilehci2010.org <http://www.mobilehci2010.org/> MobileHCI 2010 will be held September 7-10, 2010, in Lisboa, Portugal Doctoral Consortium Day, Workshops and Tutorials on September 7^th , 2010. MobileHCI 2010 is organised by the University of Lisboa, with the collaboration of the New University of Lisboa and the research centres LaSIGE and CITI, and in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGMOBILE. *Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings and will be included in the ACM digital library. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### /- Submission deadline: 9th April 2010, 23:59 GMT/ Chairs: Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic Design Brief The design competition of MobileHCI 2010 focuses on mobile accessibility. Mobile phones are one of the most pervasive technologies on earth: almost every person has access to a mobile device. Yet, little attention has been given to the design of the interface of these devices, or to its services, to include more equitably people with different abilities or cultures. A big challenge of mobile UI design is the physical input limitation. In most cases users only have a simple 5-way controller, a few selection keys, and a keypad to enter both text and numbers. Recently, top of the line devices also include touch screens that are able to recognize multi-finger interaction. Nevertheless, this seems to be still limiting when compared to the myriad of possibilities offered by other technologies. In particular, sensing technologies could be easily incorporated into mobile devices that could broaden the range of interaction capabilities. Related to the lack of input is the limitation of the output capabilities of these devices. Screens are small, thus showing information and creating visual cues is a challenging task for designers. The iPod comes to mind as a good example of design solution to the input/output challenge. Apple designers started from the users’ goals and the context in which the device had to be used. Accessibility for mobile devices is not just a hardware challenge. The design of software components has to adapt to people with different abilities and needs. For instance, the design of an interface for people with visual impairment has to adapt its visual components so to maximize readability while maintaining internal and external consistency. Finally, accessibility for such universal technology should take into account people belonging to different cultures. The most obvious example is related to languages that are written from right to left – something that interfaces developed for western cultures do not take into account. However, supporting multiple cultures is not just a matter of rendering text. The metaphors that are associated with elements of the interface are often fundamentally driven by the particular culture of the designer of that interface. The challenge for MobileHCI2010 consists in designing innovative software and/or hardware solutions for mobile devices that could allow people with different abilities or cultures to be supported in achieving their goals and satisfying their needs. We are seeking examples and case studies of solutions that are designed with the focus on users’ needs and context of use. The Design Competition The competition comprises of two parts: The selection of contestants prior to the conference – the review process The judging of the contributions at the conference – the award process The Award Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winners will be selected from the entries. Winners will receive: A certificate of acknowledgment presented at the closing session of the conference Acknowledgment on the conference web site A Telefonica Android phone for the winner More details: http://mobilehci2010.di.fc.ul.pt/Submissions/designCompetition.html If you have questions about the Design Competition for MobileHCI09, contact the Design Competition Chairs Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic at: designcompetition(a)mobilehci2010.org <mailto:designcompetition@mobilehci2010.org>
