-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Wed Aug 14 10:28:57 MESZ 2013 An: conet2011school(a)sics.se, seniot(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch Betreff: Call for Posters and Demos: Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Call for Posters and Demos: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ===================================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with a focus on real-world experiments and deployments. Included are, nonetheless, new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many 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 poster and demo abstracts (4 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size). Accepted abstracts will be included in the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE). Accepted abstracts will be indexed by all major digital libraries (e.g., ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar). All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * 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 Posters: Posters should demonstrate early work in areas of interest similar to those listed in the call for papers. Good posters describe exciting ideas for which some preliminary results are available. Authors can also include in their submission an appendix showing a thumbnail of the poster content. The submission of the thumbnail is not mandatory and can be included or not at sole discretion of the authors. Posters should be prepared for A0 paper and portrait orientation, show the same title as the abstract, and include names and affiliation of the authors. Demonstrations: Demonstrations should showcase innovative research and applications related to the calls for papers. The submission should include an appendix describing the intended setup of the proposed demo and its main requirements (e.g., power supply, space, etc.). The appendix should be removed for the final submissions. Submissions: Submissions will be handled through HotCRP at http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it/hotcrp-poster. Poster/Demo Co-Chairs: * Silvia Santini, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Thiemo Voigt, Uppsala University and SICS, Sweden Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: August 15, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 22, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September, 2013 Luca — Sent from Mailbox for iPad (Please excuse brevity and typos)

Commercial, government organizations, and individuals depend on the ability to automatically mine data from different types of sensor platforms (from large sensor networks to an individual's smartphone) in order to monitor, alert, learn from, and in some cases affect and control our surroundings. The research involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, including sensing systems, signal processing, machine learning and data mining, data management, and large-scale distributed systems - for both online as well as offline analysis. †In this workshop, co-located with AMC SenSys 2013, we will include state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of extracting knowledge, by mining data from sensor networks in large-scale settings. The goal of the workshop is to establish a new research community and a venue for researchers, practitioners, and academics to present their results in these disciplines. We expect this workshop to be a long-term, continued venue for this research community, and to also lead to the setup of appropriate special issues and journals. As part of this workshop, we will include both peer-reviewed and invited papers. All accepted papers will be included in the ACM digital library. Original contributions, previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another journal or conference, are solicited in relevant areas, including, but not limited to: 1. Mining data from large-scale sensor networks and smartphone sensing deployments a. Distributed, Parallel, and Scalable Mining Algorithms b. Multi-Modal Mining Algorithms c. Resource-Adaptive (power, network, compute) Mining d. Mining sparsely sampled, noisy, and untrustworthy data e. Mining big data collected from large-scale smartphone sensing deployments f.

2nd workshop on "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" (@AutoUI'2013)
by Andreas Riener 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 2nd workshop on "The Social Car" | | "SOCIALLY-INSPIRED MECHANISMS FOR FUTURE MOBILITY SERVICES" | | | | Eindhoven, The Netherlands; October 27th, 2013 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2013 (http://www.auto-ui.org/13) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline (position papers): August 26th, 2013 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- Successful application of collective, socially inspired driving mecha- nisms requires to understand how socially-inspired cars/vehicles (i.e., driver-car pairs) could make use of their social habitus, composed from (past & present) driving behavior, social interactions with pedestrians, vehicles, infrastruc ture, etc. , and drivers' vital states when exposed to other road participants in live traffic. In response to this emerging research direction, the aim of this work- shop is to achieve a common understanding of the symbiosis between dri- vers, cars, and infrastructure from a global point of view (referred to as "collective driving"). In particular, this workshop is expected to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars, addressing questions such as who can communicate what, when, how, and why? ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * Incentive based optimizations * Improvements triggered by collective behavior * Relevant parameters to identify/describe social status or behavior of a car (incorporate the driver?) * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, e.g., traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Benefit assessment: why should cars (maybe drivers) disclose their 'social status', 'social relationships'? * Understanding the potentials of socially inspired C2C communication * Crowdsourcing * Driving as a "collaboration" with either passengers or an agent * Implementation of agents/robots for improving V2V communications * The subject of V2V communications (driver to driver, passenger to passenger, driver to passenger, driver to agent, or agent to agent?) * Authentication for in-vehicle social services * Privacy, safety, and/or security issues related to in-vehicle social services * Plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Cultural differences in in-vehicle social services * V2V communications as a personal broadcasting station (or system) * Other than V2V, including V2I (vehicle to infrastructure using road- side units) or V2B (vehicle to broadband cloud (network)) * Optimal protocols for social cars (802.11p, Wimax, NFC, Bluetooth,..) Please submit your position papers (2-6 pages in length, ACM SIG format template; <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>) using the workshop paper submission system available at <https://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar> Workshop website: <https://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI13_SocialCar> Contact: <mailto:riener@pervasive.jku.at> ------------------| Important Dates for the Workshop |------------------ * Submission deadline: August 26th, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: September 10th, 2013 * Camera ready version due: September 30th, 2013 * Registration deadline: September 25th, 2013 * Workshop date: October 27th, 2013 Please feel free to contact the organizers at any time.

MIT Presence: Special Issue on Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence... (deadline extended to Aug. 15)
by Andreas Riener 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

We apologize for any cross-postings. 2nd Call for Papers Special Issue of Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments Subliminal/unaware cues and perception of presence in virtual, tele- presence, and automotive environments Submissions due: extended to August 15, 2013 ************************************************************************* This special issue focuses on the role of a special category of sensory cues in the sense of 'presence': subliminal and unaware sensory stimuli in Virtual Environments (VE). The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the impact, role, and adequacy of using unaware or below threshold information in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The impact of unaware/subliminal cues on user?s feelings, attitudes, and behavior. * Subliminal cues and the user?s sense of presence or immersion in VE. * Subliminal cues and improvement of a user?s performance in VE although it is generally accepted that such stimuli are weak. * Systematic approach to taxonomy (i.e., definition and terminology) of subliminal perception and other interchangeable or contrary terms, including implicit, supraliminal, priming, conscious, preconscious, unconscious, subconscious, below awareness, (etc.) in the context of VE/teleoperation systems or the automotive domain. * Philosophy or rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Ethical issues of application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation systems or vehicular interfaces. * Social interaction based on subliminal/unaware cues. * Socio-technical issues such as social acceptance, preference, privacy issues, security issues, and attitudes towards technologies that include cues which the user is unaware of. * Guidelines of the application of subliminal perception in VE, teleoperation, or augmented reality. * Case study of application of subliminal perception/cues/interfaces in VE, teleoperation, automotive applications, or augmented reality in general. * Subliminal cues and interfaces such as head-mounted displays, vibrotactile transducers, olfactory stimulation, brain-computer interfaces (BCI). * Domain-specific approach to subliminal perception (e.g., remote vehicles, driving simulator, aviation, robotics, or other teleopera- tion tasks). * Modalities: visual perception (flashing picture, video, text, etc.), auditory perception (compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds, etc.), haptic/tactile perception, olfactory, or fusion of those. * Evaluation and validation methodologies for the effects of subliminal information (qualitative, quantitative validations). * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception, strength/duration/frequency of subliminal interaction). * Subliminally delivered information and its relationship with other constructs - cognitive workload, perceived performance, situation awareness, emotions, etc. * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (age, gender, characteristics, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ ethnologic background, etc.). * Risk assessment of the use of subliminal interfaces and strategies to reduce its risk. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers will be selected based on scientific rigor, originality, novelty, and presentation quality. By submitting a paper to this special issue, the authors guarantee that their papers are not currently submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should conform to the journal submission guidelines available at <http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/pres>. - Submissions due: extended to August 15, 2013 - Publication expected for 2014 Guest Editors of the Special Issue ---------------------------------- - Andreas Riener, Dept. of Pervasive Computing, University of Linz, Austria; Phone: +43 732 2468 - 4473; Email: <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> - Myounghoon Jeon, Department of Cognitive & Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech, USA; Email: <mjeon(a)mtu.edu> - Miriam Reiner, Head of Technion Touch Lab, Gutwirth Building, Haifa, Israel; Email: <miriamr(a)tx.technion.ac.il> For detailed information visit: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/pres or http://www.pervasive.jku.at/MITPresence_Subliminal/
