-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MCN-Infocom'08 -- Abstract Submission Deadline Feb-7 Datum: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:08:18 -0500 Von: Mohamed Younis <younis(a)cs.umbc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: 'Silvia Giordano' <silvia.giordano(a)supsi.ch>, 'Moustafa Youssef' <moustafa.youssef(a)gmail.com> 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mission-Critical Networking (MCN'2008) http://www.criticalnet.org/ In conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM'2008 Phoenix, Arizona, April 13-18 "Mission-Critical Networking (MCN)" refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication, ad hoc and mesh networking and networked sensor systems continue, more opportunities are being opened to mission-critical networks to benefit from these technologies. A primary challenge to the operations of mission-critical networks is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, autonomic, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of authorized and unauthorized entities, audio and video communication, secure emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, visual analytics, and service-oriented architecture. Another key feature for mission-critical networking is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop solicits high quality technical contributions to the area of mission-critical networking. The manuscript must explicitly address relevance to MCN. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: . Smart environments and infrastructures . Rapidly deployable services and networks . Vehicular networks . Body sensor networks . Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services . Ubiquitous networking and services . Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade-offs . Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control . Decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation . Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support . Context-aware network and service management . Location determination and tracking . Energy efficiency . Admission, load and flow control . Visual analytics . Critical traffic and mobility analysis . Cross-layer design and optimization .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Datum: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:51:54 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please feel free to forward this CFP to related colleagues and students for information. --------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline is due in 5 weeks! Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Important Dates =============== Manuscript Submission Due: March 1, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008 Special Issue Publication Date: September/October 2008 Call for Papers =============== Network Address Translators (NAT) and IP firewalls have been introduced to the Internet some time ago, and over the time become an integral part of the Internet architecture. Moreover, there are also other types of middleboxes, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Application Layer Gateways (ALG), Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and web proxies. These intermediary boxes perform functions different from normal IP packet treatment, which can even change the content of packets or do rerouting of IP packets. There have been diverse views on the value of middleboxes. Some believe that middleboxes introduce problems for network applications as well as challenges to the traditional end-to-end Internet architecture. These issues range, for instance, but not limited to, from naming and addressing of nodes behind NATs, directionality of communication establishment, and performance impairments. On the other hand, many administrators and operators see the middleboxes represent an important part for their network operations. For example, firewalls are widely deployed with the intention of securing enterprise, campus and home networks, so as to block attacks to nodes or keep nodes from sending malicious traffic. The Internet community has acknowledged the emergence of the middleboxes and developed middlebox control and coordination protocols that allow end hosts (or application proxies) to learn about the presence of middleboxes and communicate their needs (i.e. required packet treatment) to those devices. A number of middlebox control protocols, such as UPnP, MIDCOM and STUN, have been developed over the years and are partially used in current deployments. The papers in this special issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of middleboxes and middlebox control mechanisms, which help to understand their impact to the Internet architecture and network operations, and how they can be further integrated, or leveraged for different purposes, such as load balancing and mobile network environments, among the others. Specifically, within the aforementioned context in Internet middleboxes and their control mechanisms, the special issue will present tutorials, surveys and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects, but not limited to: * Middlebox-supported network architectures vs. other Internet evolution alternatives (e.g., IPv6) * Design and/or performance evaluation of middlebox software architectures * Control and coordination across middleboxes and their traversal mechanisms * Security, including authentication, authorization and accounting issues with middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Scalability and performance studies of middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Deployment scenarios and case studies (corporate, ISP, content providers, mobile environments etc.) based on middleboxes * Interaction and implications with other network protocols and components * Interaction and implications with end-to-end applications and services * Related standardization efforts Manuscript Submission ===================== With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues.

[KuVS ELG] Preliminary Call for Papers - P2P'08 - 8th Intern. Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing
by Klaus Wehrle 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

====================================================================== Preliminary Call for Papers -- P2P'08 8th International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing "Distributed Computing/Networking/Services at the Edge of the Internet" Aachen, Germany September 8-11, 2008 http://www.p2p08.org/ ====================================================================== SCOPE P2P'08 is the eighth conference in a series of annual conferences concerned with overlay network technologies and massively distributed systems & applications. Peer-to-Peer systems benefit from and share the resources owned by systems that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such technologies include peer-to-peer applications and grids, and in general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by decentralization and sharing of resources. Recently, interesting applications of P2P technology have begun to emerge, together with new platforms for application development. We invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of the current state of the art, or that explore new application areas. We are particularly interested in real, large-scale, deployed systems and applications, rather than small-scale examples composed of a few nodes. The key issues to be considered are scalability, robustness, and security; we believe that these aspects are fundamental issues that must be solved before Peer-to-Peer and Grid services will become mainstream. Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we would like to promote collaboration in research among academic institutions, government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids, and large scale distributed systems. TOPICS Topics that relate to Peer-to-Peer systems, Peer-to-Peer applications, Grid systems, large-scale distributed systems, and overlay networks are open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement to experience reports with applications, with particular emphasis to those that treat problems related to scalability, robustness and security. Topics of interest for the conference include, but are not limited to: * P2P applications and services * Industrial applications / P2P in use * Security in P2P systems * Performance and robustness of P2P systems * Self-organization in P2P systems * P2P Information retrieval * Higher-level query support in P2P systems * Semantic overlay networks and semantic query routing in P2P systems * Trust and reputation management in P2P systems * Overlay architectures and topologies * P2P overlay interworking with underlying infrastructure * Overlay monitoring and management * Social networks * P2P Systems over MANETs * Delay Tolerant P2P systems * P2P economics * Cooperation in P2P systems * P2P workload characterization and simulation * P2P grids The P2P'0x conference series has developed to a highly selective conference on all topics of Peer-to-Peer research. The acceptance rate of the previous conferences was around 20%. All papers will be reviewed by at least three experts from the mentioned areas. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Press. A hardcopy will be available at the Conference. IEEE technical sponsorship is currently pending. INDUSTRY TRACK We are especially interested in experience with practical, large-scale, industrial, deployed applications. Therefore P2P'08 is going to set up a special industry track in its program. Please indicate when submitting your paper if you wish your submitted paper to be considered into an industry track. DEMO PROPOSALS P2P'08 is encouraging the P2P community to demonstrate their latest system developments and P2P applications at the P2P 2008 conference site. In addition to the demo presentation announced in the official conference program, a two page abstract will be published in the proceedings.

[Apologies if you receive this more than once] ***************************************************************** The 2nd International Workshop on Cooperative Wireless Communications and Networking (CONET 2008), September 8th ~ 11th, 2008, London, UK http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/CONET08/ in conjunction with BROADNETS 2008. http://www.broadnets.org/2008/ SCOPE & Topics =============== Cooperative wireless communications and networking is emerging as a promising technology to enhance system performance by sharing resources among wireless nodes. With cooperation at all layers of the protocol stack, the wireless network can achieve higher throughput, higher system reliability, higher energy efficiency, lower bit-error rate, and smaller packet loss rate. A variety of research in recent years have actively focused on design, simulation, modeling, and applying cooperative communications in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks, etc. International standards organizations have been initialized various activities to apply cooperation mechanisms in the wireless LAN, PAN and MAN. For instance, the IEEE 802.16j working group is actively calling for contributions for relay metropolitan networks. The idea of cooperative wireless communications and networking can be tracked back to the work of the theoretic properties of relay channels. By sharing antennas in a multi-user environment, single-antenna wireless devices enable a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that allows them to achieve transmit diversity, and hence obtain advantages of MIMO with reduced size, cost, and complexity of the hardware/software. Upon cooperation at physical, MAC, network, and application layer, various cooperative signaling methods are widely explored and many new mechanisms are under development with respects to routing, medium access, location management, scheduling, energy management, and so on. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cooperative diversity * Virtual MIMO * Channel capacity * Cooperative channel coding * Cognitive radio networks * Cooperating services * Grid computing * Middleware * Performance analysis, simulation and experiment * Services, applications and systems * Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies * Resource management * Mobility management * Energy management * Security management * Cross-layer cooperation and optimization * Cooperative and distributed relaying * Relay networking * Regenerative cooperative systems * Protocols for relay and multi-hop channels * Distributed relay-assignment algorithm * Routing, packet forwarding, multicast * Cooperative scheduling * Cooperative MAC protocol * Power control * Network Coding * Security architecture and mechanisms * Services/applications over cooperative wireless networks * QoS provisioning * Topology control * Synchronization * Cooperative schemes in Wireless PAN, LAN, MAN * Cooperative schemes in B3G, 4G System * Cooperation in ad hoc networks * Cooperation in wireless mesh networks * Cooperation in wireless sensor networks * peer-to-peer networks * Cooperative schemes in IEEE 802.x families, e.g. 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20 Publication of Proceedings: =========================== CONET 2008 accepted and registered paper will be published in the BROADNET 2008 proceedings and available through IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates: ================ Submission due: 10 March 2008 Acceptance notification: 30 April 2008 Camera-ready due: 15 May 2008 Conference: 8-11 September, 2008 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

CfP: Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction (MAI'2008)
by Ruediger Kapitza 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

******************************************************************** 2nd Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction (MAI'2008) MAI'2008, June 3, Oslo, Norway http://mai08.di.fc.ul.pt Co-located With DisCoTec federated conferences 2008 http://discotec08.ifi.uio.no/ ******************************************************************** *Overview* The basic interaction between middleware and application uses simple mechanisms such as method invocations or message passing. These basic interactions are not sufficient for complex tasks. There is a rising demand for middleware support for multiple cross-cutting features such as security, fault tolerance, and distributed resource management. In adaptive systems, the middleware has to exert control on applications, and vice versa. Middleware systems need the right access to applications running on top; applications need the right way for influencing middleware behaviour. Unlike the basic interaction mechanisms, such complex features are currently addressed by a highly heterogeneous set of methods such as aspect-oriented programming, reflection, code annotations, and policies. *Goals and Contributions* MAI'2008 aims at providing researchers with a forum for discussing the state of the art of approaches to middleware-application interaction and for identifying challenging open problems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in the different fields that relate to the workshop topic. Our ambition is to foster discussions between participants with different background and experience, and to provide the participants with a broader view of the problems and established approaches. We believe that the workshop will yield new ideas for future system research in the area of middleware platforms, and will nourish the exchange of ideas and strengthen the cooperation between interested scientists. *Workshop Format* The workshop will be organised as a series of sessions, each session being devoted to the presentation of papers of a common domain. At the end of each session, we will have a mini-panel with the presenters on the session theme, led by the session chair, in order to foster discussions. The workshop will conclude with a general discussion of open issues and future trends in the field, summarising the overall contributions of the workshop. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest to this workshop include, but not limit to the following: -Composition of complex middleware features -Unanticipated middleware integration of applications -Interaction MW/App, MW/MW, App/App -Variability of the application-middleware-interconnect -Middleware reconfigurability and adaptivity -AOP for the implementation of middleware systems -AOP for middleware-based application -Dynamic AOP -Composition of independent aspects -Developer annotations for complex middleware features -Reflective middleware -Model-driven middleware and application design -Support for product lines in middleware -Software engineering for middleware-based applications *Important Dates* Paper and abstract submission 20 March 2008 Acceptance notification 1 May 2008 Camera-ready papers due 15 May 2008 Workshop 3 June 2008 *Submission Guidelines* Manuscripts must be submitted as printable PDF documents and should not exceed 3000 words. Formatting according to the final manuscript style (ACM standard) is recommended. Electronic submission will be available starting in January on the workshop website. The camera-ready version of manuscripts must be formatted according to the ACM standard style (2-column), and must not exceed 6 pages. At least one author of an accepted paper must register at the conference and present the paper at the workshop. *Workshop Chairs* Ruediger Kapitza FAU-Erlangen (Germany) Hans P.

[Tccc] PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management
by Jadwiga Indulska 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Context-awareness plays an important role in pervasive and mobile computing and therefore context information modelling, reasoning and management have been studied for a number of years. Pervasive computing conferences and in particular dedicated workshops (i.e., the CoMoRea?2003-2008 workshops at PerCom and the Ubicomp workshops) are attracting a large number of papers related to context modelling, reasoning and management and influence the direction of research in this area. There is already a consensus in the research community that formal modelling of context information and appropriate reasoning and management techniques are needed. However, many research issues in this field are still open, including heterogeneity of context information, imperfection of context information, complex mapping between raw context data (e.g., sensor readings) and abstract context information required by applications, privacy of context information, limitations and efficiency of reasoning techniques, and difficulties of managing and provisioning context information in systems where mobility and disconnections are common. The purpose of this special issue is to present the state-of-the-art in context information modelling, reasoning and management. The special issue will include a collection of papers that discuss concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modelling and reasoning, as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Context information modelling techniques, * Domain-specific models of context information, * Hybrid models of context information (integration of various modelling techniques), * Context information reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy, * Discovery and reuse of context information, * Privacy of context information, * Distributed and scalable context information management, * Context model driven application design. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5 spaced and must not exceed 35 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper has been published in a conference, the submitted version should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>). The deadline for submitting manuscripts is February 1, 2008 and authors will be notified of the decision by June 15, 2008. The final manuscripts will be due Dec 1, 2008. Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues Editor-in-Chief, Behrooz Shirazi, using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc.

WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain novel ubiquitous services with challenging dependa- bility requirements in highly heterogeneous and error-prone mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for sup- porting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the challenging adapta- bility and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise con- ceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost- effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last year event, this workshop aims at fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions in order to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependable and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infrastructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiqui- tous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adapta- tion to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services.

Best regards ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine Feature Topic on Enterprise Mobility Services Enterprise market constitutes a very large share of the ICT sector. Normal market segmentation differentiates between big corporations for which tailored solutions can be offered and SMEs, businesses and professionals, for which generic solutions are designed, taking into account the so called long tail effect. In the ICT era of the 21st century, mobile services have a promising outlook. Companies are no longer static, premises based. On the contrary they have full mobility needs, with global customers that can be based worldwide, a growing number of remote offices that need to be interconnected, teleworkers that work from home, employees that are always travelling, longer times out of office, etc. On the other hand mobile technologies have evolved significantly over the last years improving the performance offered to users: mobile broadband thanks to 3.5G and beyond with growing coverage for several Mbps bandwidth; more powerful mobile handsets that support more complex applications and offer better user interfaces including larger screens and new features like embedded GPS, NFC,&; a massive penetration of mobile data telephony specially in the enterprise; smaller and lighter laptops at decreasing prices; maturity of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for telco grade IP communications, etc. Given this starting point where workers have permanent access to email in the mobile, and full remote desktop connectivity with laptops and VPNs in this special issue we will go beyond with current research activities related to future enterprise mobility with a total focus on services and applications. Among the different existing vertical enterprise markets special attention will be given to wireless eHealth applications. Original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue in any of, but not limited to, the following or related topic areas: ? Mobile convergent communications (IMS Corporate services) ? Wireless eHealth ? Networked applications ? Telework and mobile desktop ? Mobile enterprise 2.5: collaboration, semantics,& ?

Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/cfp/SCN-SIcfp.html Background ========== With the rapid progress in information technology and an enormous amount of media appearing over Internet, e.g. text, audio, speech, music, image and video, guaranteeing information security is becoming increasingly important. Several pivotal challenges include copyright protection, integrity verification, authentication, and access control etc. As a consequence, the subject of security protection in multimedia communication has attracted intensive research activities in academia, industry and also government. Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication.

[Tccc] CFP REALWSN 2008
by Adam Dunkels 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

The REALWSN'08 Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.sics.se/realwsn08/ April 1, 2008 Glasgow, Scotland In conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2008 The purpose of the third Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (5 pages, double column) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Published papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates (tentative) Electronic submissions due: 10 February, 2008 Notification of acceptance: 3 March, 2008 Camera-ready copy due: 13 March, 2008 Workshop: 1 April 2008 Organizers Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Technical program committee chairs: * Adam Dunkels, Swedish Institute of Computer Science * Pedro José Marron, University of Bonn, Germany Technical program committee (under construction): * Muneeb Ali, TU Delft, The Netherlands * Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland * Nirupama Bulusu, Portland State University, USA * Saumitra M.

Through the use of mobile devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment, users can be provided with transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. Their implementation requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fifth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2008) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include systems, applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. TOPICS OF INTEREST Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working system are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications - Wearable computing and personal area networks - Wireless technologies (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi, WiMAX) - Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems - Ad hoc and sensor network support for ubiquitous computing - Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks - Wireless/mobile service management and delivery - Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems - Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms - Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments - Context- and location-aware applications - Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems - Context modeling, services and frameworks - Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing - Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications - Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing - Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing - Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments - Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Paper submission will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must not exceed 10 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. PUBLICATION All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the international technical program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journal. WORKSHOPS Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2008) at IEEE Virtual Reality 2008 http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE08/ March 8th, 2008 Reno, Nevada, USA With the increasing number of potential users of virtual and augmented reality systems, as indicated by the recent booms of massively multiuser online societies, the design of distributed, massively multiuser virtual environments (MMVEs) becomes increasingly important, posing new requirements on both distribution platforms and virtual reality systems. Facing these challenges is a community-spanning effort, necessitating the pooling of the resources and experiences of the virtual reality and the networking/ distributed computing communities. This workshop hopes to provide a link between these communities to foster the development of highly distributed, flexible and robust virtual environments. We aim to gather the practitioners and researchers in these fields under one roof to discuss their findings, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Keynote by Jon Watte (CTO, Forterra Systems) Jon Watte will give a keynote at the workshop, in which he'll describe some surprising places virtual worlds have been adopted; what the future looks like; and some sketches for open research areas. In addition to his job as CTO of serious virtual world platform company Forterra Systems, Jon is a regular contributor to the independent game development community. A Microsoft DirectX/XNA MVP and moderator of the Multiplayer and Networking forum on independent games site GameDev.Net, Jon has several published articles in the field and has spoken on the future direction of the interoperable 3D web on several occasions. He combines practical experience with solid theoretical underpinnings to bring success to the field of massive-scale, interactive distributed simulation. Prior to heading up Forterra Systems, Jon worked on products such as There.com, BeOS, and Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare, a new and growing interdisciplinary field, calls for innovation in information and communications technology to facilitate reliable, comprehensive, and high quality heathcare. Advances in networking infrastructure as well as middleware are vital to delivering telemedicine services regardless of a patient's physical location. In-home care for elderly persons is costly and can require sensors, wireless monitoring devices, and networking infrastructure and middleware to automatically contact emergency services. Healthcare is motivating unique basic research challenges in wireless and pervasive communications due to requirements for safe signal propagation characteristics, low network latency, low packet loss, high quality image and video transmission, and the need for safe, secure, and dependable operation. The goal of this issue is to report on cutting-edge research in communications for healthcare. Basic research papers are solicited, but papers on systems integration or deployment will also be considered. We seek papers that describe original and unpublished contributions, and that reflect those aspects of communications research for healthcare which are distinctly different from communications research in general. Possible topics include: . New Network architectures for wireless telemedicine . Unique wireless network research issues to support healthcare applications . Regionally-lossless and near-lossless coding for medical images . Unique middleware for enabling medical applications . Equipping ambulances with wireless and sensor networks . E-surgery using large bandwidth connections . Mobile and wearable technologies for next generation drug trials . Organic Computing for Healthcare Networks . Remote tactile sensors for remote diagnosis . Actuators and prompters for rehabilitation and behavior modification . Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring . Cyber-physical systems for patient monitoring . Sensor networks for hospitals, operating rooms, elderly monitoring . Autonomic Sensor Networks for Healthcare Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. Authors MUST submit their manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website. Submission deadline: July15, 2008 Acceptance Notification: Nov 15, 2008 Final Manuscript due: Jan 15, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2009 Guest editors: Athanasios V.
