Future networked information systems will support, for example, clinical workflow, remote diagnosis and consultation, e-prescribing, and mobile data collection and surveillance, disease outbreak identification and patient participation in their own well-being and care. Mobile-computing technology may be particularly helpful in improving access to healthcare (geography, monetary and informational), by encouraging personal health management, and by enabling patient and provider mobility. Wearable medical devices are emerging, to measure essential vital signs like pulse, respiration, ECG, blood glucose level, and patient mobility. Handheld devices support clinicians in urban hospitals, and portable diagnostic kits allow remote healthcare teams to more easily reach rural villages. The widespread availability of mobile phones, and recent experiments with low-cost, long-range broadband wireless networks, bring connectivity to all these opportunities. We encourage papers that present novel ideas for networked computing technology in support of healthcare, and which are likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at the workshop. Research papers should focus on all aspects of networked healthcare technologies. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following topics: remote diagnosis and remote consultation * clinical applications of mobile or networked healthcare * mobile and wearable medical sensing applications * design of wearable and home-care health devices * sensor networks for public health monitoring and surveillance * networked mobile technology for rural healthcare * security and privacy in networked healthcare * experience from technology deployments * usability of mobile health applications and devices * applications to emergency response and disaster response * cost-efficient and energy-efficient networking for remote healthcare * remote access to electronic health records Papers should be limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, not submitted concurrently elsewhere in any form, and present new contributions regarding either technology or experience in deploying technology.

31 Aug '11

Dear Sirs, please let me draw your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS -- the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems: ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.4 No.1 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: October 3, 2011. International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. - University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium vincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board: - Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium - Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy - Llorenc Cerda-Alabern - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Spain - Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples - Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy - Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland - Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil - Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy - Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland - Konrad Klockner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany - Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy - Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia - Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany - Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy - Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK - Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium - Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p… PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to vincenzo dot deflorio at ua dot ac dot be.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: CCNC 2012 Workshop on Densely Connected Networks (DCN) Datum: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:25:24 +0000 Von: Haiyong Xie <haiyong.xie(a)huawei.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS –- NEW DEADLINE September 15, 2011 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Densely Connected Networks (DCN) IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2012 (IEEE CCNC 2012) Jan 14, 2012, Las Vegas, NV, USA www.ieee-ccnc.org/2012 ============================================================ Goals and Topics Recently there has been an emerging trend that networks expand the coverage to home networks, personal networks, in-vehicle networks, etc. In such networks, there exist complex interactions among context-specific servers, various sensors and a large number of appliances and equipments. The network resources in such densely connected networks can become very much scarce especially when they are interconnected; furthermore, emerging applications such as peer-to-peer and streaming applications are typically oblivious to the complex structure of underlying networks and can easily abuse the scarce resources. Additionally, energy saving can become a key factor in network design. In wireline networks, proposals such as application-layer traffic optimization have become well-known potential solutions to addressing similar challenges; however, these approaches are no longer sufficient to address the more fundamental technical challenges in densely connected networks. The goal of this workshop is to provide a dedicated forum and community for researchers and engineers to share the state-of-the-art innovations and developments on the emerging densely connected networks. In particular, the workshop will focus on technical challenges in and emerging architecture for densely connected networks where a significantly large number of tethered and mobile devices are connected and on top of which applications unaware of the complexity of underlying networks try to compete for the resources in an uncooperative fashion. The workshop seeks submissions in the general areas of networking, content management, systems and applications that relate to dense networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Network architecture and its evolution of densely connected networks * Content dissemination via dense connectivity * Statistics, measurement, and evaluations of application-specific resource usage * Cooperative mechanisms via explicit or implicit communications * Caching mechanisms and system design in content dissemination for densely connected networks * Incentive models and dynamics of cooperation * Demonstration, prototype, deployment of cooperative frameworks * Performance measurement of cooperative network design * Network design that encourages cooperation and optimizes resource usage * Joint optimization for network and applications * Energy saving in densely connected networks 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. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation. Manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column) and not exceed 5 pages in length. Submission of papers should be regarded as a commitment such that, if accepted, at least one author of the paper will register and attend the conference; otherwise it will be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after the conference. Papers should be submitted in .pdf format via the EDAS paper submission website by selecting the workshop submission.
