-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MobileHealth 2013 - Deadline Extended to April 08, 2013 Datum: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:10:13 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] MobileHealth 2013 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2013/ Third ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2013 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2013/ 29 July - 1 August, 2013. Bangalore, India ------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- After the two first successful editions of MobileHealth, MobileHealth'2011 in Paris (France) and MobileHealth'2012 in Hilton Head Island (USA), the third edition of the workshop will be held in Bangalore - India on July 29th, 2013 in conjunction with the 14th edition of ACM MobiHoc symposium (MobiHoc 2013). Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. MobileHealth'2013 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems.

CFP: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of cyber resilience of smart cities and smart mobility, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Deadline for submission of papers: May 10, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities and Smart Mobility Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I stakeholders (e.g., Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Mobility C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Papers submitted for category 2 that do not fit the focus of the second conference day, may be reassigned by the conference organizers to the selection process of categories 3 and 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defense of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications Datum: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:24:03 -0700 (PDT) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf) Submission Deadline: May 1, 2013 Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication. Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and challenges. A issue is how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison. The special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that include, but are not limited to, the following. •Power and interference management •Proximity-based detection and offloading •Self-organizing device discovery •Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication •Device vs operator controlled link establishment •Link management and mode selection •Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation •Group communication and broadcasting •Multi-hop D2D communications •Quality improvement for real-time applications •Channel measurements and modelling •Mobility measurements, modelling and management •New services and applications Submission Guideline Authors should refer to the submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html) to prepare their papers.
