-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Pervasive Health 2014 Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 16:14:51 +0200 (CEST) Von: EAI Events <no-reply(a)eai.eu> Antwort an: no-reply(a)eai.eu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PERVASIVE HEALTH 2014 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 20-23 May 2014, Oldenburg, Germany www.pervasivehealth.org CONFERENCE AIMS PervasiveHealth is a premier international forum with specific focus on technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous computing in healthcare and wellbeing. The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: • identify and understand problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); • design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and • organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. The Pervasive Healthcare conference in Oldenburg aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. We welcome contributions from the following fields: • Sensing Technologies and Pervasive Computing • Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) • Hardware and Software Infrastructures IMPORTANT DATES • Workshop Proposals: 4 November 2013 • Full Paper Submission: 2 December 2013 • Short Papers and Posters: TBA • Medical Perspective Abstracts: TBA • Notification of Acceptance: 14 February 2014 • Camera Ready: 14 March 2014 • Conference Dates: 20-23 May, 2014 TOPICS We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to: Pervasive Healthcare Management • Challenges surrounding data quality • Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare • Business cases and cost issues • Security and privacy issues • Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare • Legal and regulatory issues • Staffing and resource management Understanding Users • Identifying and addressing stakeholder needs • Usability and acceptability • Barriers to adoption, and enablers • Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion • Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services • Patient empowerment • Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements • Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations • Digital interventions and health behavior change Knowledge Representation and Reasoning • Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data • Activity recognition and fall detection • User modelling and personalization • Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environments • Sensor-based decision support systems • Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors • Wearable and implantable sensor integration • Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments • Data mining medical patient records • Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware • Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications • Autonomous systems to support independent living • Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies • Telemedicine • Chronic disease and health risk management applications • Health/Wellbeing promotion and disease prevention • Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring • Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients • Smart homes and hospitals • Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data • Wellbeing and lifestyle support • Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairments • Systems to support caregivers VENUE PervasiveHealth 2014 will be conducted in Oldenburg, a medium-sized city in northwestern Germany, in the middle between Hamburg (D) and Amsterdam (NL). Embedded in a beautiful, unspoiled natural landscape the former residence of counts, dukes and grand dukes is now home to 160,000 people and a vibrant, modern city - a university city with 4 universities and more than 20,000 students. Going to Oldenburg is easy: Bremen airport is only 45 minutes away and is just one hop from the major international airport hubs Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Paris. Other major airports in easy reach are in Hamburg, Hanover and Münster/Osnabrück. SUBMISSIONS and PUBLICATION The conference invites the submission of original work through the Confy paper submission system in one or more of the following formats: full and short papers, workshops, posters, interactive demonstrations. Pervasive Health 2014 will accept submissions in the following categories: Full papers (up to 8 pages submissions) - Full papers are submissions describing results and original research work not submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories listed below. Full papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. Short Papers and Posters (up to 4 pages submissions): short papers are envisioned as submissions describing original research that is much more focused and smaller in scope than full research papers. Short papers are not expected to provide all the details on the research, but rather focus on the most innovative and salient aspects. In addition, short papers are not expected to include a comprehensive review of related work. Short papers will be presented during the main track of the conference. Poster category combines submissions reporting on the progress of ongoing research and insights into the lessons learned from current (industrial, practitioners, government, etc.) pervasive healthcare practice. Medical Perspective Abstracts (1-2 pages submissions) - Authors are invited to submit work in traditional medicine whose results are interesting to Pervasive Health audience. This track will give Pervasive Health attendees a way to learn about ongoing research initiatives, both in medicine and technology, and will provide presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable direct feedback from experts. Demos (2 pages submissions) - The demos track will showcase the latest developments and prototypes related to the topics of interest of the conference. The expected demo submissions should describe the technical details of the demo alongside its contribution to the healthcare domain. Workshop proposals (2 pages submissions) - Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to pervasive healthcare. Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages) – This event will enable doctoral students to present and reflect on their work alongside other doctoral students and a panel of experts. Submissions should include a description of work done, intended future work, alongside a specific research question or challenge that you would like to be discussed at the colloquium. Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 2014 program committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research domains. Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted. The acceptance rate was around 30% for Pervasive Health 2011, 2012 and 2013. All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library (pending). Authors will also be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library (pending). Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more.

Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Internet Technology Theme Section on Pricing and Incentives in Networks and Systems http://toit.acm.org/CfP.html ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS Today's communication networks and networked systems are highly complex and heterogeneous, and are often owned by multiple profit-making entities. For new technologies or infrastructure designs to be adopted, they must not be only based on sound engineering performance considerations but also present the right economic incentives. Recent changes in regulations of the telecommunication industry make such economic considerations even more urgent. For instance, new concerns such as network neutrality have a significant impact on the evolution of communication networks. At the same time, communication networks and networked systems support increasing economic activity based on applications and services such as cloud computing, social networks, and peer-to-peer networks. These applications pose new challenges such as the development of good pricing and incentive mechanisms to promote effective system-wide behavior. In relation to these applications, security and privacy also require consideration of economic aspects to be fully understood. The aim of this theme section is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions on the application of economic and game-theoretic models and principles to address challenges in the development of networks and network-based applications and services. We invite submission of original completed work not currently under review by any other journal describing theoretical/methodological contributions or applications to cases of interest. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Pricing of resources in communication networks, grids, and cloud computing * Pricing of online goods, copyright issues, effect of network structure (e.g., social network) * Economic issues in universal broadband access and economics of peering * Effect of market structure and regulations (e.g., network neutrality) * Economics of networks security and privacy * Auctions and applications to networks: spectrum auctions, auction-based marketplaces for network and cloud resources * Incentive mechanisms for networks: peer-to-peer systems, clouds, wireless networks, spam prevention, security * Methods for engineering incentives and disincentives (e.g., reputation, trust, control, accountability, anonymity) * Empirical studies of strategic behavior (or the lack thereof) in existing, deployed systems * Design of incentive-aware network architecture and protocols * Game-theoretic models and techniques for network economics: large games, learning, mechanism design, interaction of game theory and information theory or queuing theory, information exchange, diffusion, dynamics of cooperation and network formation, trades in social and economic networks * Algorithmic mechanism design * Critiques of existing models and solution concepts, as well as proposals of better models and solution concepts * Studies of polarization, online collaboration, crowdsourcing, and human computation ******************************************************************* SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Initial submissions must be at most 20 pages and comply with the ACM Transactions on Internet Technology policies. Authors can add a clearly marked appendix (with no space limit) not counting towards the 20-pages limit. In case of acceptance, this appendix will appear as a digital appendix available on the ACM digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Computer Networks - SI on Green Communications (Feb. 28th) Datum: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 14:45:27 +0200 Von: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Green Communications Elsevier Computer Networks ----------------------------------------------- * Deadline: February 28, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… One of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century is to investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the t! otal). The need for ‘greener’ communications technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years.

Discussions revolved around both the state of the art and around future directions of inter-vehicle communication research, from physical layer optimizations to novel applications of vehicular networks and from microscopic evaluation metrics to problems of scale, crime, and privacy. It will be the goal of this new Fachgespräch to again bring together talented young researchers to follow-up on the discussions. Over the last few years, significant efforts are being carried out by industry, academia and government agencies to improve driving safety, increase vehicle traffic efficiency and decrease fuel consumption by exploiting vehicular communications and networking technologies. These technologies, which are generally referred to as VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks), include Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications and can be based on short- and medium-range communications as well as on cellular systems. Goals The goal of this event is to give an interdisciplinary overview on recent advances and early results in the area of vehicular inter-networking technologies and related applications. This seminar will include and solicit contributions addressing technical and research issues, development projects, standardization activities, and field trials on VANET technologies and applications. The objective is to discuss recent advancements in this highly active research area, to highlight interdisciplinary challenges in the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and to share lessons learned from field trial experiences. Scope of Contributions: Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts (2-4 pages) presenting new research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular communications and applications. Manuscripts formatted according to IEEE conference layout should be submitted as PDF documents. Accepted contributions will be published in a technical report (thus, the copyright will remain with the authors). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Communication protocol design and network management Channel modeling, modulation and coding Congestion control and scalability issues Collaborative systems Medium access control protocols Multi-channel organization and operation Traffic management and flow optimization techniques Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps Safety and non-safety applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication Simulation frameworks Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues Telematics applications Electric vehicle applications Networking to reduce energy consumption Wireless in-car networks Systems that reduce driver distraction Real-world testbeds Organizing Committee: Markus Forster, University of Luxembourg Thomas Engel, University of Luxembourg Raphael Frank, University of Luxembourg Christoph Sommer, University of Innsbruck Frank Kargl, Ulm University Important Dates: Extended Abstract Deadline: January 20th, 2014 Notification of acceptance: February 1st, 2014 Fachgespräch: February 20th-21st, 2014

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Special Issue Elsevier Computer Communications & IoT Datum: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:50:50 +0200 Von: Matthias Waehlisch <waehlisch(a)IEEE.ORG> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Special Issue on "Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and Services for the Internet of Things" will be published in Elsevier Computer Communications Scope The Internet of Things (IoT) started as a research topic more than a decade ago and evolved towards partial deployment in the last few years. It describes the integration of magnitudes of smart devices into the current Internet. Those devices challenge Internet architectures and protocols. They may exhibit very limited resources making the direct application of common approaches nearly impractical. On the other hand, they significantly increase heterogeneity, which complicates the extension of the status quo. The Internet of Things has continuously been discussed. Related compilations of contributions usually miss two important aspects. First, the analysis of IoT approaches that have been deployed or will be available soon in the current Internet. Analyzing those solutions may help to understand relevant aspects of a successful deployment and to identify common pitfalls while IoT approaches have been designed. Second, deployed protocols need a careful revisit. In contrast to well-established Internet protocols and architectures, IoT techniques are fresh and not fully developed on the same level. In addition, new network paradigms emerge, which need to be considered for a sustainable future IoT. In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a special focus on current and future deployment. They should contribute to at least one of the following aspects. (1) Identifying and solving open technical problems. (2) Performing thorough evaluation and comparison of existing proposals or standards. (3) Addressing integrative aspects towards a full-fledged IoT deployment. (4) Enabling new services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Wireless, wired, and hybrid networks - IETF proposals such as RPL and 6LoWPAN - Privacy and security - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Integration of future Internet paradigms such as ICN - Machine to Machine communications in IoT scenarios - Energy efficiency in smart object scenarios - IoT management and interoperability - Participatory and global sensing - Performance measurement and tuning, scalability - Simulation and analytical studies - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Schedule Submission deadline: September 15, 2013 Author notification: January 31, 2014 Revised paper due: March 15, 2014 Final author notification: April 15, 2014 Expected publication: Fall 2014 Guest Editors Matthias Wählisch Freie Universität Berlin, Germany waehlisch(a)ieee.org Damla Turgut University of Central Forida, USA turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu Tom Pfeifer Technical University of Berlin, Germany t.pfeifer(a)computer.org Anura P. Jayasumana Colorado State University, USA Anura.Jayasumana(a)colostate.edu Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. -- Matthias Waehlisch .
