However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment --- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: • Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and Experience • Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications • Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. • Correlating measurements across multiple layers • Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals • Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience • Measurements for Security and Privacy • Distributed and Inter-domain measurements • Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements • Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability • Measurement technology for software-based routers • Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services • Measurements in Home Networks • Measurement Visualization • Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure • New Measurement Initiatives • Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results • Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis • Measurement Data Management Important Dates: Abstract Submission: September 7, 2011 Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 Notification: November 22, 2011 Camera Ready due: December 22, 2011 Organizers General Chair Fabio Ricciato, FTW and University of Salento Program Chair Nina Taft, Technicolor Research, Palo Alto (USA) Local Arrangements Chair Philipp Svoboda, TU Wien Publicity Chair Antonio Pescapè, University of Napoli Federico II ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Tccc] FW: 2nd Call for Papers -2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA)
by Lars Wolf 15 Aug '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] FW: 2nd Call for Papers -2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA) Datum: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 10:17:48 +0000 Von: Fergus, Paul <P.Fergus(a)ljmu.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 2nd Call for Papers 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA) 14th January 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada Satellite Workshop of 9th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference Goals and Topics Healthcare globally is going through a major transition that promises to provide the unprecedented delivery of services in new and novel ways. Medical infrastructures, built on advances in information and communication technologies (ICT), aim to fully distribute services in a much more flexible way. This will enable the seamless flow of information within and amongst medical facilities, practitioners and service users. ICT will ensure that services are highly available and provide enriched information. Multiple modes of interaction will be possible and this will all happen regardless of a user’s location or the devices they use. This vision is commonly referred to as eHealth and is one of the most rapidly growing areas in health today with an estimated annual budget of Euros 17.4 billion in Europe and $36 billion in the US. The drive towards this growth in interest can be directly attributed to the fact that healthcare is becoming increasingly more difficult to sustain because of the rising costs associated with people living longer and an increase in diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. This presents a unique opportunity to develop new and novel platforms services and applications that exploit information within and across the healthcare sector to significantly improve the quality of patient care and improve and execute clinical processes more efficiently. This will help to form a closer relationship between healthcare providers and service users and fundamentally help support people in their daily lives. Furthermore, it addresses the growing problem of healthcare seclusion amongst rural areas and low-income nations where they too, through eHealth, can benefit from life-critical information, help, support and training. All this has the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the potential criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of ICT in health. Yet eHealth presents a unique and high impacting application of ICT. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools and this comes at a time where sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of next generation consumer eHealth platforms, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: * Wearable and implantable sensors * Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare * Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data * Wireless Communications in Healthcare * Energy harvesting * Wireless Body Area Networks * Wearable home based health monitoring technologies * Ambient Assistive Living * Wireless Homecare * Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) * Personal Healthcare (pHealth) * Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring * Semantic Web and Healthcare * Standards and Frameworks * Interoperability * Human to machine interfaces * Middleware for eHealth * Service and Device Discovery * Telemedicine * Clinical Applications and evaluations * Healthcare applications for chronic disease management * Health promotion and disease prevention * Support solutions for cognitive decline * Support for physical defects * Usability issues * Assistive Devices * Activity Recognition * Telerehabilitation * Electronic Patient Record * Implementations and case studies * Bioinformatics * Clinical Decision Support Systems * Clinical Informatics * Consumer Health Informatics * eHealth Grids * Privacy and Security Issues in Healthcare * Data Protection 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. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation. Papers should be submitted in .pdf format by selecting CCNC'12 on the EDAS paper submission website and then selecting the workshop submission link. Papers should be a maximum of 5 pages in length and follow the IEEE formatting rules. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

As a result, there will be a strong demand for wireless communications and networking to provide information as well as onboard entertainment services to passengers and driver. Vehicular communication is expected to implement a variety of wired and wireless technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) for V2V systems, communication may experience serious deterioration due to the lack of accurate channel state information and advanced radio-resource-allocation schemes to assign wireless resources to high-speed vehicles. Moreover, communication among high-speed vehicles through cellular communication networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs resulting in degradation in overall system performance. This motivates researchers to design innovative resource allocation techniques and robust, as well as, fast handover schemes for dynamically changing topologies of VANETs. In VANETs for V2V communications, trust, security, privacy, and reliable routing are major concerns since the network topology changes constantly. Furthermore, physical layer design issues for wireless communications in high-speed mobile environments are also of vital importance to realize its full potential for ITS. All in all, vehicular communications with dynamically changing topologies is a demanding research topic. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that focus on vehicular communications and networking. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to · Physical Layer and Propagation Models. · Radio Resource and Interference Management. · Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols. · Information Aggregation and Dissemination. · Positioning and Location Technologies. · Sensor Technologies for VANETs. · Drive-Through Internet and Roadside Infrastructures. · Incident Detection for VANETs. · Trust, Security, and Privacy Issues. · Fast and Reliable Handover and Mobility Management · Vehicle Traffic Models. · Heterogeneous Networking. · Cellular and Satellite Communications for Vehicular Networking. · Cross-Layer Designs and Architectures. · Game Theory Based Protocols and Algorithms. · Green Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Standardization and Development, such as WAVE/DSRC/802.11p · Applications, Case Studies, and Real-World Test Beds. · Business Models and Policies. -------------------------------------------- Submission Format and Guideline: ----------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be written in English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is not currently under review for any other journal or conference.

Traditional topics of multimedia communication services like latency, privacy, fairness, transparency, security, manageability, provisioning, monitoring, and accounting may all have different measurements and meanings over emerging networks, such as broadband wireless networks, clouds, virtualized networks, tactical networks, delay tolerant networks, and Internet of things. What's the new measurement metrics, what's the new user expectations, what's the requirements we need to keep when performing traditional multimedia services over emerging networks, what kind of principles we need to hold on both client and server software to have better user experience of multimedia services. We need to answer all those questions to provide multimedia services over emerging networks to users. In addition, we also need to identify and develop new features and applications specifically for multimedia communications over emerging networks. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering, but not limited to, the topics of interest listed below: · Quality of Service (QoS) issues of multimedia services and applications over emerging networks · Quality of Experience (QoE) issues, such as latency, fairness, and transparency of multimedia services and applications in emerging networks · Security and privacy issues of multimedia services and applications in emerging networks · User Interface (UI)/Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)/User Experience (UX) of multimedia service and applications in emerging networks · Context-based communications over emerging networks · Customer relationship/feedback analysis of multimedia communication services over emerging networks · Manageability, provisioning, monitoring, and accounting of multimedia communication services over emerging networks · Novel multimedia communication services and applications over emerging networks · Signal processing for multimedia communications over emerging networks · IPTV over emerging networks · Sensor network technologies for multimedia communications · P2P communications over emerging networks Important Dates Paper Submission September 15, 2011 Acceptance Notification October 1, 2011 Camera-Ready Paper October 15, 2011 TPC Co-Chairs Thomas Magedanz Technical University Berlin Kurt Tutschku University of Vienna Xiaotao Wu Avaya Labs Research Publicity Chair Carlos Becker Westphall Federal University of Santa Organizing Chair Yahya Al-Hazmi Technical University Berlin --- --- Prof. Dr. Kurt Tutschku Chair of Future Communication (Endowed by A1 Telekom Austria AG) Faculty of Computer Science University of Vienna Postal Address: Universitaetsstrasse 10/T11, A-1090 Vienna, Austria.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: M-MPAC 2011 - Extended Paper Submission Deadline - August 25th Datum: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:18:36 +0100 Von: Sotirios Terzis <Sotirios.Terzis(a)cis.strath.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *********************************************************** DEADLINE EXTENSION! Paper submission deadline: August 25th 2010 *********************************************************** Call for Papers M-MPAC 2011 ----------- Third International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2011 Lisbon, Portugal 12-16 December 2011 Workshop Scope & Themes ----------------------- Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 and 2010 this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. In recent year, tablet devices and operating systems have gained a prominent spot in the limelight, while the smart phone landscape continues to change with new offerings supporting a variety of sensors, higher resolution and bigger size screens, high definition video recording and playback, and enhanced gaming. Embedded devices like televisions, TV set top boxes, and game consoles have grown beyond their original functionality to home multimedia systems supporting enhanced networking (e.g. IP TV and DNLA), and novel user interaction through 3D displays, and movement detection based controllers. The pervasiveness of such mobile and embedded devices has given rise to a variety of novel applications, such as social web applications, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, context-aware collaborative computing,participatory sensing, etc. Access to cloud computing infrastructures further enhances the capabilities of these devices offering additional opportunities for innovative applications and uses. Despite these successes, software development for such devices and platforms remains largely ad hoc, while interoperability among applications, devices and platforms is largely elusive. Middleware has a key role to play in overcoming these problems. However, it still unclear what are the appropriate middleware abstractions and supporting infrastructures necessary for such applications. The resource constrained nature and mobility of such devices place unique requirements for middleware and necessitate the exploration of novel programming abstractions, and supporting services, while capabilities like location and context-awareness open new avenues for radical approaches in their development. In this context, the main workshop themes include, but are not limited to the following themes: * Device platforms - Virtualization technologies & applications - Distributed ensembles - Interaction paradigms and protocols - Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android, IOS) - Virtual machines * Data issues - Data formats and encoding - Availability and durability of data in personal networks - Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics (e.g. cameras, iPods) - Data portability * Networking - Emerging wireless technologies and platforms - Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) - Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network - Quality of service and network selection * Security and Privacy - Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device interactions - Security architectures balancing risk and utility - Trust management in device ensembles - Mobile device data security * Mobile Web - Web architectures (REST, Ajax) in pervasive computing - Context adaptation/management in pervasive computing - Mobile web scalability and reliability in access - Content adaptation on mobile devices - Collaborative search * Adaptability - Context-awareness, location monitoring - Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness - Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data storage - Autonomics and self-* properties * Applications - Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, shopping, street navigation, etc. - Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks - Application development on mobile and embedded devices - Programming models * Experiences and case studies - Lessons from deployments - User experiences and field-trials - Performance studies Submission ---------- Submissions must not exceed 6 pages and must be formatted using the ACM proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF at http:/www.cis.strath.ac.uk/external/m-mpac2011/openconf/ Papers should present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in a special workshop proceedings volume in the ACM Digital Library. The publication of the best workshop submissions and the research roadmap in the style of previous events is under investigation.
