-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) Datum: Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:15:29 +0000 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) 10th – 15th of June 2012, Ottawa, Canada Satellite Workshop of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2012) Goals and Topics Healthcare providers from around the globe are currently faced with significant challenges due to an exponential rise in costs, increased demand for services, and limited access to financial and human resources. This is directly linked to the fact that people are living longer with an expected 761 million of us being over the age of 65 by 2025. This will increase the risk of chronic disease and other co-morbidities amongst the elderly and estimates suggest that treating this particular group of people currently accounts for 78% of all healthcare expenditure (over a trillion US dollars per year) with spending expected to be $4.3 trillion in 2018 compared to $27.5 billion in 1960. Whilst increasing life expectancy is at an all-time high, it has become difficult to sustain. One suggestion is that quality of life and life expectancy can be increased through healthy aging and lifestyle choices. Positive behavioural changes will empower people and support the prevention of acute episodes, including the provision of provide better services that are tailored to people’s healthcare needs. This presents a unique opportunity were the use of information and communications technology could be used to support the delivery and management of healthcare services. Building on advances in Smartphone technologies and wireless communications it is possible to bridge the gap between people and medical facilities and transform healthcare services and clinical intervention within the community. These technologies, as well as allowing us to make a phone call, text a friend, or update our social networking site, provide access to vital data about a person that can be collected and analysed to support research, medical and healthcare education, and clinical practice with less reliance on secondary care (hospital admissions). Empowering people in the community, particularly the aging population, allows them to evaluate lifestyle choices and to take control of their own healthcare needs. Diseases, such as diabetes and obesity are often caused by an accumulation of unmonitored health-related choices, such as poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which occur over decades rather than weeks or months. Smartphones, body sensors, and wireless communications provide the necessary tools to host community healthcare services and applications capable of real-time monitoring and analysis of lifestyle choices. Using digital diaries, social networking, SMS, amongst other technologies, makes it possible to manage adherence and provide education about relevant medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, sexual health, poor nutrition and the lack of exercise. All this will have the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of mobile ICT in health. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools, and this comes at a time when sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. From a technical perspective, a number of challenges still remain and form part of the topics under this call for papers. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of mobile consumer healthcare networks, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: • Mobile applications for elderly healthcare • Mobile applications for adherence monitoring in aggressive treatment regimens • Mobile devices for healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps • Mobile interfaces for data Visualization • Mobile devices for patient monitoring • Ad hoc and wireless sensor systems and networks • Mobile data management and processing • Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare applications • Radio-Frequency (RFID) wireless technology in medical devices • Wireless Identification and Services Platform (WISP) for mobile healthcare • Medical Device Control via Wireless Technology • Safe, Effective, Secure and Reliable Use of Wireless Technology in healthcare • Wearable and implantable sensors • Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare • Health specific wireless communication protocols in healthcare (WMTS, IMS, MICS) • Wireless Body Area Networks • Consumer Healthcare (cHealth) • Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: June 2012 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: June 2012 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:46:15 +0000 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities. Indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html. Please submit a PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted paper by Jan 15, 2012 via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, and go to the Author Center.

Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially, economically and yes, even psychologically. This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. Submission process: All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive Urban Applications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: December 14, 2011 (Extended deadline) First Notification: March 31, 2012 Final Notification: June 15, 2012 Guest Editors of the Special Issue: Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, fcalabre(a)ie.ibm.com Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy, marco.conti(a)iit.cnr.it Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA, dahlem(a)mit.edu Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, giusydil(a)ie.ibm.com Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, UK, santi(a)newcastle.ac.uk _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

SaCoNaS), the scope of SaCoNet-III is to deal with the growing overlap between both autonomous systems and the future generation of network technologies embedded in Internet and cloud computing for a wide variety of applications (underwater, vehicular, medical, robotic, etc.). SaCoNet focused on how smart communications has affect some aspects (protocols, design, equipment, algorithms, paradigm, power, etc.) for a large family of applications (Healthcare, Medical, Underwater, Vehicular, Robotic, etc.) using network technologies (Sensor Networks, MANET, VANET, etc.). Indeed, autonomous applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have rapidly expanded from classical applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the control of a given system in a centralized manner. Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future emerging networks: sky of clouds, Internet of things, Smart Grids, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between autonomous systems and smart network technologies. These applications, (which are based on high-level commands) accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support and efficiency, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially the efficiency of any autonomous system based application; network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and the smart network technologies devoted for different applications for a large variety of domains: Healthcare, Medical, Underwater, Vehicular, Robotic, etc. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, testbeds and trials, and protocols will elicit particular attention.

The capabilities of actor nodes include enhanced processing ability, powerful wireless transmission, large battery and mobility. Actor nodes can leverage their capabilities to facilitate better coverage, connectivity and energy efficient operation. Such capabilities offer unprecedented opportunities to serve a diverse range of applications. For instance, actors with mobility can be used to mend a partitioned network, set up new routes, facilitate energy efficient data collection and improve sensor coverage. Similarly, the some sensor nodes may also be equipped with actuation capability called actuators that perform actions to change the behaviour of environment or the physical system. Embedding actuation in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) opens a realm of opportunities for Wireless Sensor Actuator Network (WSAN) industrial applications requiring monitoring and control. While significant research progress have been made in networking and communication aspects of WSNs, new design paradigms are required for wireless sensor actor and actuator networks (WiSAANs). In particular new ideas are required to address the challenges resulting from introducing actors and actuators in the network. This workshop aims to bring the state- of-art research contributions in theory, design and implementation of communication protocols for WiSAANs. Another key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present their work and share their views. We expect the workshop to act as a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their ideas on addressing the most current challenges, potential solutions and future developments of WiSAANs. We encourage contributions describing original work in the realm of data collection, architecture, algorithms, communication protocols and implementations of WSANs. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Architectural models for WiSAANs - Algorithms and communication protocols for WiSAANs - Service model for WiSAANs - Sensor-actor and sensor-actuator co-ordination - QoS models for WiSAANs - Energy efficient protocols for WiSAANs - Integration of real-time protocols with WiSAAN - Time modeling and synchronization in WiSAANs - WiSAAN current and future applications and implementations - Data processing and management in WiSAANs - Medium access protocols for WiSAANs - Routing Protocols for WiSAANs - Data gathering and data fusion models for improving real-time performance in WiSAANs ---------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: 30 November, 2011 Authors Notification: 30 January 2011 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2012 Workshop Date: TBA later between June 10 - 15 2012 -------------- General Chairs -------------- Prof. Ivan Stojmenović, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Prof. Zabih Ghassemlooy, CEIS, Northumbria University, UK ------------------- Workshop Organizers ------------------- Dr. Ramiro Liscano, UoIT, Canada, Dr. Nauman Aslam, Northumbria University, UK _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
