On top of the smart infrastructure, different computing paradigms make possible to extract knowledge from non-intrusively acquired data. User-centric paradigms aim at learning about the users to adapt services and applications to their preferences and needs. In a complementary way, environment-centric paradigms pursue the global understanding and optimization of the smart space performance through situation analysis techniques. The fifth edition of SENAmI aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent trends and advances in enabling technologies to deliver personalized applications and explore situation awareness in smart environments. Works on innovation at the service layer (applications and user experience) are also encouraged. The workshop welcomes papers on: - Methodologies and tools for end-user creation of smart environments. - Novel proposals on architectures and middleware for data processing and service delivery in smart environments. - Data fusion and reasoning for situation awareness. - Machine learning techniques for personalization. - Sensors, actuators and novel concepts for personalization. - Novel concepts of services and applications in the smart city (e.g. energy, health, assisted living, tourism, etc.). - Technology for mobile sensing: social and participatory approaches. - Test-beds and real-world deployments and user evaluation of smart services. * SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled via EDAS.

This global aging problem demands an increased focus on preparing pervasive healthcare systems and applications deployed around users and capable of remotely caring for them and improving their health and well-being anywhere anytime. These systems and applications require a sophisticated integration of microcircuit, medical sensing, and wireless and mobile technologies. They largely benefit users by decreasing the dependability on special caregivers and eventually reducing healthcare expenses through a more efficient use of healthcare resources and an earlier detection of life-threatening emergency situations. However, the realization of pervasive healthcare sets some additional critical requirements, e.g. realtimeness and fault-tolerance, and reliability, security and efficiency challenges compared with traditional hospital-based systems. Exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies as well as Networking and Sensors Technologies will enable cost-effective and efficient healthcare delivery, capable to deal with physical and logical mobility of patients and devices. The focus of this call is on theory and applications of Wireless Technologies towards the definition of the Next Generation Pervasive Healthcare. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited. Possible topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to the following: * Wireless body area networks for remote healthcare monitoring * Energy efficient sensing and communication for pervasive healthcare * Reliable and fault-tolerant communications in pervasive healthcare * Network protocols design and analysis for pervasive healthcare * Data management and resource sharing for pervasive healthcare * Mobile, social, context-aware computing for pervasive healthcare * Integration of different wireless technologies for pervasive healthcare * Remote diagnosis and patient management for pervasive healthcare * Distributed multimedia services for pervasive healthcare * Emergency detection and response for pervasive healthcare * Trust, security, privacy, and QoS provisioning for pervasive healthcare * System architectures, applications & prototypes for pervasive healthcare DATES: Submission deadline: Sep. 15th, 2012 First round of review: Dec. 15th, 2012 Revision deadline: Feb. 15th , 2013 Author notification: Mar. 15th, 2013 Publication date: 2013 GUEST EDITORS: Giancarlo Fortino, Univ.

Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you very much!] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 14th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26-27 February, 2013 Jekyll Island, GA, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2013/ ACM HotMobile 2013, the 14th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non- traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2013 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.

IEEE CCNC was organized specifically to help the consumer electronics industry drive the advance of the numerous wireless and wireline communications technologies that will one day provide on-demand access to both entertainment and information anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or location. This includes a detailed analysis of nearly every technological area ranging from cognitive and peer-to-peer networking to the designer services and tools used to ensure ease-of-use, security and stunning interactivity. Overview (IoTCoMM) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) are considered to be the main elements of pervasive computing and have gathered the interest of the research community in the past few years. Such technologies empower computers to perceive the world for themselves leading the way to the new Internet of Things (IoT). This interlinking of physical world and cyberspace foreshadows an exciting endeavor that is highly attractive to researchers, corporations, and individuals. IoT promises to create a global network of physical objects every bit as pervasive and ubiquitous as the worldwide web itself. Some are already describing it as either the ultimate convenience or the ultimate disaster revolving around our daily privacy. What does this mean to those of us who will be encountering IoT? How would IoT transform our lives? And what are the design and deployment challenges associated with such a network? Topics The workshop solicits papers and demos relating to the following topics: IoT Hardware Design -- Hardware aspects of RFID, WSN & WMSN sensor design -- Sensor Actuation & Coordination -- CMOS Camera Design, Integration of Smart Cameras & Others IoT Protocol Design -- Energy-aware communication protocols / Cross-layer optimization / Congestion Control & Reliability -- Collaborative signal processing / Quality-of-Service -- MAC & Transport Protocols / Routing Protocols & Energy Efficiency / Simulation tools, OSs and middleware IoT Applications -- Smart Housing & Smart Retail -- Vehicular Traffic Congestion Management -- Healthcare /Petroleum / Supply Chain -- Other novel applications Submissions must present original results.

The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in an early phase of their career with the opportunity to discuss these with experts and gain general feedback as well as specific comments on their proposal. Second, this is an excellent opportunity for a young researcher to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. Format ------ The aim of the doctoral colloquium is to discuss research ideas and PhD projects at different - typically - early stages. The colloquium aims at a friendly atmosphere which shall inspire the participants and put them - and their research - in the focus. A panel of experts will discuss the research based on a short presentation. Interactivity and discussion are the the goal. In addition to the colloquium a presentation of all participants at the main conference will take place as a poster session. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) is used to attract conference participants. Submissions ----------- Prospective participants are required to submit three different documents: at the point of submission: 1. Research Statement: a two-page abstract that sketches the research proposal of the PhD student, the contribution to knowledge and how the research will advance the state of the art. 2. Curriculum Vitae: a one brief CV that lists the education, research interests and - if available - publications. at the point of acceptance: 3. a poster that will be presented at the conference Chairs ------ Christian Becker (University of Mannheim) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aaachen) Important Dates --------------- 31.Oct.2012 submission 14.Dec.2012 notification
