-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility,on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 10:38:41 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Organisation: ETH Zürich An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS at http://edas.info/N15441.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM Multimedia Systems 2014 (MMSys'14) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 16:08:43 +0800 Von: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ACM MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CONFERENCE (MMSYS 2014) MARCH 19-21, 2014, SINGAPORE. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Multimedia systems permeate many aspects of our daily life, and are steadily developed further. MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore: - Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in one of more components, or - Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services. Such individual system components include: - Operating systems - Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements - Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers - Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia - New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses and algorithms for their operation - Representation of continuous or time-dependent media - Metrics, measures and measurement tools to assess performance This touches aspects of many hot topics: DASH, games, virtual environments, augmented reality, 3D video, immersive systems, telepresence, multi- and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile streaming, P2P, Clouds, cyber-physical systems – explore the connections on http://www.mmsys.org All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the technical program committee. Full papers will be evaluated for their scientific quality. Accepted papers must reach a high scientific standard and document unpublished research. Best papers' authors will be invited to submit a modified version of their contribution to the ACM TOMCCAP (Transaction on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications) journal. Student travel grants are available for a limited number of full-time student participants attending the conference. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be between 6 and 12 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style and written in English. The unusual length of MMSys papers is meant to enable authors to present entire multimedia systems or present research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published in the ACM Digital Library; they are available for just as long as journal papers and authors should not feel compelled by space limitations to publish extended works on top of an MMSys paper. Authors who submit very specific, detailed research work that does not require such brevity are encouraged to use less than 12 pages. The submission site is open: http://liubei.ddns.comp.nus.edu.sg/mmsys2014/index IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper Submission Deadline: September 27, 2013 Acceptance Notification: November 25, 2013 Camera Ready Deadline: January 15, 2014 CONTACT For further queries and extra information, please contact Wei Tsang Ooi at ooiwt(a)comp.nus.edu.sg ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The D2D concept is built around the idea of allowing the wireless devices to communicate with one another via direct D2D links over licensed or unlicensed spectrum. Unlike traditional short-range D2D technologies such as Bluetooth or Zigbee, D2D in cellular systems is expected to provide high capacity and guaranteed QoS over long ranges. D2D is also expected to lead to novel wireless applications such as proximity services and robust public safety communications. Indeed, D2D is seen as a key feature of 5G wireless systems. However, reaping the benefits of D2D requires handling several challenges such as interference management, self-organization, network discovery, and resource allocation, among others. > > Main Topics > The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to D2D and PS communications.

Anfang der weitergeleiteten E‑Mail: > Von: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > Datum: 6. September 2013 20:48:23 MESZ > An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG > Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- IEEE Communications Magazine -- Context-Aware Networking and Communications > Antwort an: Chris Gniady <gniady(a)CS.ARIZONA.EDU> > > Call for Papers > IEEE Communications Magazine > > Context-Aware Networking and Communications > > Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user’s context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. > A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). > Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). > This feature topic’s scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. > The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: > > · Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture > · Context-aware green communications and computing networking > · Context-aware modeling and analysis methods > · Context-aware security approaches > · Context-aware distributed systems > · Context-awareness in the Internet of Things > · Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web > · Context-aware data storage and cloud computing > · Context-aware recommender systems > · Context-awareness in smart spaces > · Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks > · Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution > · Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction > · Context-aware communications services and applications > · Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking > · Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing > · Mobile phone sensing > · Personal awareness in smart environments > · Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers > · Context-aware social networks > · Urban awareness for communications and networking > · Social agents and avatars > · Virtual humans for communications and networking > · Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications > > Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).
