IJARAS: Table of Contents 3(3) and Call for Papers
by Vincenzo De Florio 01 Sep '12

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, This is to draw your attention to the contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 3, Issue 3, July-September 2012 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1947-9220 EISSN: 1947-9239 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijaras Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium PAPER ONE User Models for Adaptive Information Retrieval on the Web: Towards an Interoperable and Semantic Model Max Chevalier (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Christine Julien (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Chantal Soulé-Dupuy (Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, IRIT, UMR 5505, France) Searching information can be realized thanks to specific tools called Information Retrieval Systems IRS (also called “search engines”). To provide more accurate results to users, most of such systems offer personalization features. To do this, each system models a user in order to adapt search results that will be displayed. In a multi-application context (e.g., when using several search engines for a unique query), personalization techniques can be considered as limited because the user model (also called profile) is incomplete since it does not exploit actions/queries coming from other search engines. So, sharing user models between several search engines is a challenge in order to provide more efficient personalization techniques. A semantic architecture for user profile interoperability is proposed to reach this goal. This architecture is also important because it can be used in many other contexts to share various resources models, for instance a document model, between applications. It is also ensuring the possibility for every system to keep its own representation of each resource while providing a solution to easily share it.

In particular, it analyzes how different aspects of trust (e.g., trust, trustworthiness, trustworthy evidence) influence trust decisions, and acting on them eventually. It proposes a trust decision model that structures the analysis of contextualized trust problems. Rather than seeking a general definition of trust, this paper advocates the necessity to have a structured way to analyze and characterize situational trust problems systematically.

The use of the service paradigm usually guarantees a high level of flexibility. In fact, applications can be easily reconfigured in order to continuously offer functionalities also in dynamic execution environments. This happens by changing the service selection and their composition. This flexibility can be exploited to design adaptable SBAs able to react to events that could happen during the application lifecycle. The execution flow of adaptable SBAs automatically changes on the basis of the context in which they are executing. The context includes information ranging from the situation in which users access the service-based applications to the status of the components involved in the execution of such applications. In this paper the authors propose a way to use context information to adapt SBAs. In particular, their goal is to discuss the way in which the context should be defined and managed in order to be exploited in the various activities related to the adaptation of service-based applications.

This paradigm defers the selection of the next hop after the packet reception to take advantage of any opportunity provided by broadcast transmissions. Most of the existing opportunistic approaches base the forwarder selection on end-to-end principles. However, in multi-hop wireless environments the cost of a path is not uniformly distributed over space, nor constant over time, hence even two equal-cost paths might present significantly different link quality distributions one from the other. This encourages the use of localized context to implement a more accurate selection of the possible forwarders after each packet transmission. Hence, in this paper the authors propose RELADO, an adaptive opportunistic routing protocol able to efficiently combine end-to-end with local information to ensure transmission resilience across the network. With this flexibility, RELADO is able to reduce packet loss by ensuring the best trade-off between throughput maximization and packet progress. An extensive set of ns2 simulations confirms the potentiality of RELADO to improve network performance when compared to both legacy unicast and opportunistic routing protocols.

Proper monitoring interface is an essential prerequisite to adaptive system reconfiguration in parallel on-chip computing. This work proposes a DMC (dual monitoring communication) architecture to support self-awareness on the NoC platform. One type of monitoring communication is integrated with data channel, in order to trace the run-time profile of data communication in high-speed on-chip networking. The other type is separate from the data communication, and is needed to report the run-time profile to the supervising monitor. Direct latency monitoring on mesochronous NoC is presented as a case study and is directly traced in the integrated communication with a novel latency monitoring table in each router. The latency information is reported by the separate monitoring communication to the supervising monitor, which reconfigures the system to adjust the latency, for instance by dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. With quantitative evaluation using synthetic traces and real applications, the effectiveness and efficiency of direct latency monitoring with DMC architecture is demonstrated. The area overhead of DMC architecture is estimated to be small in 65nm CMOS technology.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AutoUI 2012 CfP] - The Social Car (socially-inspired C2X interaction) - Deadline Sept. 3rd Datum: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:39:48 +0200 Von: Andreas Riener <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> Antwort an: riener(a)pervasive.jku.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] Notice: Due to several requests we have extended the submission deadline to Monday, September 3rd, 2012 (firm!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "The Social Car" (socially-inspired C2X interaction) | | | | Portsmouth, NH, USA; October 17th 2012 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2012 (http://www.auto-ui.org/12) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline extended to: September 3rd, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- This workshop aims at discussing the potential of cars' socializing one with the other (similar to how humans are exchanging information), and not just translating the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm into the car domain. With the introduction of the concept of "social cars" we attempt to make a blueprint of next generation in-vehicle technologies. This is different from what the Internet of things (IoT) community is talking about in the sense that IoT is sufficient if it has its own ID that could be passively identifiable, whereas social cars have more autonomous capability, so they could serve as a more active and even interactive social being. The central objective is 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? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation." ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * 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 <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Workshop website: <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Contact: <mailto:riener@pervasive.jku.at> ------------------| Important Dates for the Workshop |------------------ * Submission deadline: September 3rd, 2012 * Notification of acceptance: September 17th, 2012 * Camera ready version due: September 30th, 2012 * Early registration deadline: September 26th, 2012 * Workshop date: October 17th, 2012 (morning) Please feel free to contact the organizers at any time.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2013 CFP Datum: Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:01:59 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 19 and 33. 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 will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: October 30, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012 - Camera ready: Late January, 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Aaron Crandall, Washington State University, USA Jordi Cucurull Juan, Linköping University, Sweden Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Maciej Kurant, ETH, Switzerland Alan Marchiori, Colorado School of Mines, USA Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Mikko Pitkänen, AALTO, Finland Silvia Santini, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Jing Wang, E2open Inc., USA Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany -- ====================================================== Alessio Vecchio Pervasive Computing & Networking Lab.
