-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems - SI on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems Datum: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:34:52 +0100 Von: Antonio Coronato <antonio.coronato(a)na.icar.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologize for multiple copies! ********************************************************************************* ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems http://taas.acm.org/ Special Issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems http://taas.acm.org/SpecialIssueFormalMethods.pdf ********************************************************************************* Aims and Scope Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems are increasingly realized for safety-critical domains that include healthcare, emergency scenarios, and disaster recovery. These domains present new challenges that include expressing, verifying and validating requirements and ensuring functional correctness. Formal methods are one approach to address these challenges. Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems add additional concerns to classical safety-critical applications and require rethinking how to apply well-established formal methods. Examples of these approaches include state-action models (e.g., labeled transition system, timed automata, and Petri nets) or process models (e.g., pi-calculus). Alternatively, semi-formal methods like ontologies or UML, a common specification language for the describing software models, model knowledge for context-aware applications. Both formal and semi-formal methods have their advantages and disadvantages. This special issue will address the state of the art: the research challenges, and the available methods, methodologies and tools to specify, validate, and verify pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems. Topics The special issue intends to focus on the above issues and solicits papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to formal and semi-formal methods for pervasive computing. Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Formal specification of pervasive, self-adaptive, self-organizing, and context-aware systems - Ontology based approaches - Specific UML profiles - Formal verification of specifications and implementations - Model-Checking techniques and tools - Run-time and automated verification - Methodologies, languages, and tools - Applications and experiences in critical scenarios (e.g. healthcare, disaster recovery, etc.) Submission Guidelines Papers should be up to 20 pages (appendixes are not included into the overall count of pages), formatted according to the guidelines provided at the ACM TAAS Web site (http://taas.acm.org/) and submitted via the TAAS manuscript central systems at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taas Please make explicit in the cover page that your paper is intended as a submission to the special issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems.

CfP: Emerging technologies of wireless communication in healthcare
by Lars Wolf 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Call For Papers JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN HEALTHCARE PUBLICATION DATE: April 2011 With the emerging technologies of wireless communication, Healthcare systems can be significantly improved with lower cost and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and impacts to the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing interests in the public and have attracted large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. For wireless healthcare system assisted with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), the medical sensors implanted on/in body gather patients’ health information and transmit the private health information through heterogeneous wireless networks such as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and Wireless Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), in order for the patients to receive high quality healthcare services remotely on time regardless of patients’ physical location. However, this new form of healthcare system also poses critical requirements to traditional wireless networks and has promoted a promising research area recently. Challenges facing the wireless communications in healthcare systems include: definition of healthcare policy and legal issues towards potential new applications; the design of architectures among wireless communications for supporting safe and reliable signal propagation with low network latency; emergency response and detection; the need for privacy preservation of patients. This special issue aims at reporting the state-of-the-art research on emerging wireless technologies and applications in healthcare, highlighting research challenges and open issues and bringing together researchers and medical professionals from the academia, industry and government with the goal of fostering collaboration among them. Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles, reflecting those aspects of wireless communication research in healthcare distinctly different from wireless communication research in general are encouraged.

-------- 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). This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following: . Energy-efficient circuit and device . Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies . Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking . Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks . Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking . Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing . Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks . Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy consumption . Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks . Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement . Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks . Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management . Harvesting distributed energy generation . Smart Grid . Information theory on energy efficiency . Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks . Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies . Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring) . Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications and future evolution . Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices, including life cycle assessment . Regulation and standardization . Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications (e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells) Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html <http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> .

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.

We hope to bring together people from industry and academia to share ideas and discuss experiences related to green networking/computing technologies. Detailed call for papers is included below, and is also available at: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/gncfp.php Please consider submitting a paper, and publicize the workshop among your colleagues. The deadline for submission is March 19th, 2010. Thanks, - Jitu Padhye, Paul Barford and Sambit Sahu First ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Green Networking Understanding and reducing the energy consumption of computing and communication infrastructure in home, enterprise and data center environments is an area of increasing importance for both researchers and commercial entities. This is an interdisciplinary field by its very nature: advances in many areas such as computer architecture, operating systems and compilers are all needed to reduce the energy consumption. Many of the proposed ideas have a direct impact on how networks are designed and provisioned. The power consumption of network infrastructure has itself come under scrutiny. At the same time, we have begun to see networking technologies play a significant role in reducing energy consumption in other domains such as utility networks and transportation systems. The First Green Networking workshop at SIGCOMM will focus on networking issues involved in designing green infrastructures in both computing and non-computing domains. We welcome papers that utilize networking technologies and principles to other domains besides traditional networking areas such as transit, energy that influence our daily life. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Power measurements and data from empirical studies of computer and communication infrastructure * Techniques for measuring or estimating power consumption of computer and communication infrastructure * Techniques for reducing power consumption in data center, enterprise and home environments * Power consumption of networking infrastructure * Protocol and middleware considerations for reducing power consumption * Hardware and architectural support for reducing power consumption * Green network design for high density data centers and cloud computing * Methods that focus on computing and communication systems as key components for reducing the power footprint in other environments such as smart grids and smart transportation systems * Application of networking technologies and principles for greening services and utilities affecting our daily life Submissions All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress, so long as the promise of the approach is demonstrated. Radical ideas, potentially of a controversial nature, are strongly encouraged. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a pdf file. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Submissions must follow the other formatting guidelines here<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/submission.php#formatting>.

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.

[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).

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

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. The goals of this special issue are threefold: (1) to introduce novel research work and systems in this area; (2) to survey the progress of this direction in the past years; and (3) to discuss new technologies that will be potentially impactful (primary results are needed). The submitted papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue. ------------------------- *Scope* ------------------------- The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to interactive multimedia computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to * Interactive multimedia processing, including interactive image/video editing, image segmentation, video summarization, etc. * Interactive multimedia management, including semi-automatic multimedia categorization, clustering, browsing, dataset construction, etc. * Interactive multimedia search, including relevance feedback, query suggestion, image/video recommendation, novel search and browsing interface, etc. * Interactive multimedia modeling, including semi-automatic image/video concept learning and the related techniques such as active learning and on-line learning. * Multimedia tagging, including new tagging interface, tag recommendation, tag classification, tag filtering, etc. * Interactive multimedia knowledge mining, such as semi-automatic lexicon/ontology construction and user interests/trends/relationships mining. * Game-based multimedia applications, including game-based multimedia data collection, labeling, advertising, recommendation, etc. * CAPTCHA-based multimedia applications, including CAPTCHA-based multimedia data collection, labeling, etc. ------------------------- *Contacts* ------------------------- Please address all correspondences regarding this special issue to the Guest Editors Dr. Meng Wang (mengwang(a)microsoft.com <mailto:mengwang@microsoft.com>), Dr. Jinhui Tang (tangjh(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:tangjh@comp.nus.edu.sg>), Dr. Xian-Sheng Hua (xshua(a)microsoft.com <mailto:xshua@microsoft.com>) and Dr. Tat-Seng Chua (chuats(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:chuats@comp.nus.edu.sg>). ----------------------------- Best regards, Meng, Jinhui, Xian-Sheng and Tat-Seng

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Globecom'2010, Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networking Symposium Datum: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:29:34 -0330 Von: Cheng Li <licheng(a)mun.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: IEEE Globecom'2010, Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networking Symposium, December 6-10, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ******************************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * The 2010 IEEE Global Communications Conference (Globecom'2010) * * Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networking Symposium * * December 6-10, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA * * * ******************************************************************************* Sponsoring Technical Committees: * Ad Hoc and Sensor Communications and Networks * Wireless Communications * Information Infrastructure Scope and Motivation: As wireless networks nodes proliferate and as applications using Internet become familiar to a wider class of customers, those customers will expect to use networking applications even in situations where the Internet itself is not available. 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

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP --- IEEE TSP-10 submission deadline is approaching (February 26) --- Bradford, UK, 29 June-1 July, 2010 Datum: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:04:45 -0500 Von: Guojun Wang <csgjwang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We appologize if you received multiple copies of this call for papers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for the Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10) Organizer: Trusted Computing Institute, Central South University, China Bradford, UK, 29 June-1 July, 2010 http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/tsp2010 To be held in conjunction with The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010) http://www.scim.brad.ac.uk/~ylwu/CIT2010/ Introduction Satisfying user requirements for trust, security and privacy in an efficient way is one of the first considerations for almost all emerging applications, using emerging technologies such as pervasive computing, peer to peer computing, grid computing, cloud computing, virtualization and, mobile and wireless technologies. 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).

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

-------- 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.
