Accurate measurements of practical wireless deployments are vital for researchers to evaluate the real-world performance of proposed solutions. In addition to better understanding of systems, experimental wireless network measurements allow for better analytical and simulation models which are often limited by simplified protocol and wireless channel models. As a consequence, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the wireless networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We seek novel papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Experimentations and measurements of wireless networks: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating wireless networks (including location and energy consumption) * Measurement and characterization of mobile network (e.g., traffic, usage and mobility patterns) * Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models in actual wireless environments * Measurements-driven models and simulations of wireless networks operations * Measurements-based network management and troubleshooting * Large-scale or federated test-bed measurements * Home networking measurements - Techniques for wireless networks measurements: * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Techniques for validating the results obtained in wireless testbeds * Techniques for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds (e.g., wireless link emulation) * Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Personal and Ubiquitous Computing SI on Cross-Community Mining Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:01:11 +0800 Von: Bin Guo <guobin.keio(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Special Issue of* *ACM/Springer Journal of "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC)"* *on Cross-Community Mining* *Introduction People now live in heterogeneous social communities within cyber-physical spaces - both online communities and social networks where digital content is exchanged, and ad hoc physical communities that exploit opportunistic relationships between pairs of networked devices to exchange content. These communities have distinct technical features which lead to distinct kinds of interaction - such as patterns of comments and likes in online communities and co-location in ad hoc communities, or issues of friendship, trust and influence in online communities and social popularity and movement patterns in ad hoc communities. Rather than viewing online communities and ad hoc communities as competing, we see them as complementary and suggest that cross-community mining (CCM) can connect these two communities by revealing hidden knowledge about the interplay between different communities and patterns of social interaction within and between them. This theme issue of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing provides the opportunity for researchers and product developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of CCM techniques and applications. Papers on theoretical, practical, methodological issues in Cross-Community Mining are welcome. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):  Inclusive Design Issues related to CCM  Forming Online Communities with Knowledge from Ad hoc Community  Enhancing Communications in Ad hoc Community with Online Community Knowledge  Knowledge Integration/Transfer among Communities  Infrastructure Support for CCM (managing heterogeneous/multi-dimensional data, seamlessly switch among distinct communities, etc.)  Evaluation Metrics for CCM *Submissions Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted by email to the Corresponding Guest Editor – Dr. Bin Guo. Please note in your cover letter the theme issue for which your submission is intended. Note: Manuscripts must not have been previously published or be submitted for publication elsewhere.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre©\ determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi©\hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to highlight the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor©\actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent©\based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility©\assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences PROGRAM CO©\CHAIRS: Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr) University of Piraeus, Greece Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr) Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr) University of the Aegean, Greece TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE: Kemal Akkaya (Southern Illinois at Carbondale, USA), Stefano Basagni (Northeastern University, USA) Paolo Bellavista (Universit¨¤ di Bologna, Italy), Ioannis Chatzigiannakis (Computer Technology Institute, Greece) Cheng©\Fu Chou (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA), Martin Haenggi (University of Notre Dame, USA), Chi©\Fu Huang (National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan), Victor Leung (Univeristy of British Columbia, Canada), Jun Luo (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Edith Ngai (Uppsala University, Sweden), Sotiris Nikolitseas (University of Patras, Greece), Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy), Hairong Qi (University of Tennessee, USA), Binoy Ravindran (Virginia Tech, USA), Jens Schmitt (University of Kaiserslautern, Germany), Anthony Stefanidis (George Mason University, USA), Damla Turgut (University of Central Florida, USA), Pramod K.

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope of the workshop ----------------------- Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. 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. After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second edition of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina - USA on June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 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. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest.
