-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine - Special Issue on Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications Datum: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:31:08 +0000 Von: Hamid Sharif-Kashani <hamidsharif(a)unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The confluence of electronics miniaturization, information proliferation in healthcare, and novel concepts for energy efficiency and energy scavenging, has pushed the application of Mobile Wireless Networks, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and - perhaps more importantly so - Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) from the realm of theoretical exploration into healthcare reality. This advance heralds in a new era for patient monitoring, medical procedures, patient status awareness, outpatient treatment, and a plethora of other areas in modern healthcare. Developments in component miniaturization of electronics and sensing devices, advances in low-power wireless communication, and the arrival of energy harvesting have led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and sensing devices that are ideally suited for mobile healthcare applications. These devices can be installed in medical facilities and equipment, or worn directly on a patient's body, allowing for real-time data acquisition, data fusion, reporting, and alerting from a plethora of sources. This allows for an unprecedented level of insight into a patient's health, with a similarly high level of fidelity of the collected data that in many cases is sufficient to allow biometric identification of an individual. With the advent of these new e-Health applications and their associated requirements and constraints, many vital topics of research need to be explored to provide robustness, security, responsiveness, and longevity of the wireless network and patient health information. This special issue focuses on the state-of-the-art in wireless networking for e-Health applications, associated technical and regulatory challenges, as well as exploring deployments and implementations in real-world applications. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Applications of Wireless Networks in e-Health - Real-World e-Health environments from design to operation - experiences, problems, and insights - Cross-Layer Design for e-Health applications - The PHY Layer of WSN, WBAN, and other e-Health Wireless Networks - MAC and Routing in e-Health Wireless Networks - Privacy, Security and Trust for e-Health applications - Biometrics using WBANs and its applications - Ensuring Energy Efficiency - Energy Harvesting for low-power wireless networking in e-Health applications - RF Interference and Coexistence - Mobility in e-Health applications - Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Evaluation for e-Health technologies - Collaborative, Opportunistic, and Cognitive Wireless Technology in e-Health - Trends, Future Applications and Research Challenges for Wireless Networks in e-Health - Regulatory Challenges and Commercialization of e-Health solutions - Data Collection, Data Storage, Data Sharing, and Cloud Services for e-Health - Analysis of e-Health products for compliance, security, performance Manuscript Submission ------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original scientific articles for review. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered. Papers should be tutorial in nature to help non-expert readers gain a good understanding of the topic. The papers should also discuss recent advances and future research topics.

IEEE PERVASIVE Special Issue: Attention Management
by Andreas Riener 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Attention Management in Pervasive Computing ------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 1 March 2013 Notification: 26 April 2013 Publication: Jan.–Mar. 2014 Finely-woven, globe-spanning digital networks, together with the radical miniaturization and embedding of information, communication, and sensor electronics into almost everything, have made human-to-computer bonds truely ubiquitous and pervasive. Accordingly, our approach to human-computer interaction is reversing: while HCI previously addressed issues related to how humans initiate interaction with ICT systems, we now increasingly observe ICT system designs that also approach humans. Within this "human computer confluence", human attention—more than processor speed, communication bandwidth, and storage resources—becomes the single most critical (yet least understood) resource in pervasive system design today. While previously considered a mental variable that could not be quantified and measured, attention now constitutes a fundamental element of psychological research. Today, everyone has an intuitive understanding of what attention is, how it can be assessed, and how it impacts perception, memory, expectation, awareness, relevance, decision-making, and other behaviours. This special issue focusses on novel approaches to attention modelling, attention representation, attention sensing, recognition or estimation, together with attention management as a theoretical and practical principle for designing Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing systems. We welcome multi-disciplinary articles not only from the core Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing community, but also from Behavioural Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Research linked to attention management system design principles. Potential topics include: ------------------------- - Theories and formal models of attention, theory driven modelling, evidencing theories Attention sensing and data-driven attention modelling (including recognition chains, mining Big Data) - Attention estimation from behaviour (gaze, speech, pose, effort, somatic indicators) and from mental effort (memorizing, response time) - Attention recognition (pattern recognition, machine learning) and management architectures (goals, plans, decision making) - Individual attention (perceptual load, cognitive load, recall performance, consciousness, overt vs. covert attention, focus and periphery of attention) and sensors (EEG, FOVA, SC, BVP, ...) - Collective attention (information diffusion, novelty propagation, sharing, consesus finding) and sensors (social networks, microblogs, tweets, web/phone, exploiting patterns ...) - ICT design based on the economics of attention: design principles, interaction principles, interface designs, attractors - Attention management system architectures, tools and development frameworks - Attention management showcases, success stories, and user studies in application domains of societal significance—for example, health care systems, intense care and control centers, electronic workplaces and electronic trading systems, mission-critical construction and engineering, avionic and automotive systems, energy and environmental protection systems, safety and security systems, monitoring and surveillance systems, crisis observatories, sales and digital signage systems, art installations, public advertising, public opinion building, etc. Questions? ---------- For more information about the focus, contact the Guest Editors Alois Ferscha <ferscha(a)pervasive.jku.at>, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Joe Paradiso <joep(a)media.mit.edu>, MIT Media Laboratory Roger Whitaker <r.m.whitaker(a)cs.cardiff.ac.uk>, Cardiff University Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications, and all accepted articles will be edited according to Computer Society guidelines. Submissions should be received by 1 March 2013 to receive full consideration. For general author guidelines or submission details: www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm or pervasive(a)computer.org.

There are major challenges to be addressed, including integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, development of robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization, reconfiguration at all layers of the protocol stack, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnected environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its tenth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a conference that is rich in interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * New architectures for on-demand wireless systems * Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems * Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling, optimization, and game theoretic aspects * Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Content Centric networking * Mobile social networks * Network coding and end to end coding * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Cross-layer design * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management * Cognitive radio networks * Green wireless networks This Year's Keynote Speakers ---------------------------- Edward W.
