-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Special Session on Urban Sensing at ISCIS 2011 - 1 day left! Datum: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:13:17 -0400 Von: Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers: Special Session on Urban Sensing at the 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) The 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) will be held in London at the Royal Society, on September 26-28, 2011 and is organised by Imperial College. We are calling for papers on a special session focusing on urban sensing. The emergence of the smartphones as a multi-purpose computing platform has been one of the most exciting technological developments of recent years. These devices have a computing power which several years ago was associated with desktop computers, and have a collection of integrated sensors ranging from cameras and arrays of microphones to GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes. They often maintain a permanent infrastructure-based internet connection, but they can also participate in peer-to-peer communication using WiFi in infrastructure or ad-hoc mode, Bluetooth and near-field communication. The always on / always available usage pattern of these devices ensures that their penetration and mobility follows that of their users, providing full coverage of the urban areas of the developed world, and rapidly expanding to the developing countries. Urban sensing is an emergent field of computing which takes advantage of these capabilities to develop applications with high social and economic value. We are requesting high quality, research or applications papers on topics associated with urban sensing. Papers which dealing with the following aspects are especially encouraged: The sensing aspect: What type of observations can the sensor make and how can the data be collected and validated? How can we draw inferences, make predictions and take actions based on the collected data? Distributed approaches which store and process the data in-network are of a special interest. The social aspect: What is the relationship of the owner of the smartphone to the data and to the other participants? How are the interests of the providers of the services and beneficiaries of the services reconciled? Approaches based on both altruistic (e.g. citizen computing) and self-interested (e.g. market based) models are of interest. What is the relationship between the collaboration implied by urban sensing to the social networks of the participants? Agent based models of the social and cultural aspects of urban sensing are of special interest. The networking aspect: What are the networking architecture implications of urban sensing? What are the relative benefits of peer to peer vs. infrastructure based communication? Investigations into non-traditional communication technologies - such as proximity based or opportunistic communication are especially encouraged. The security and privacy aspect: What are the security and privacy risks associated by participating in urban sensing? What attack scenarios can a malicious participant use to falsify the resulting data and how can the system defend against such attacks? How can we negotiate the trade-off between the privacy cost and societal benefits of applications? Authors are invited to submit original research papers that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. All papers will be peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The Proceedings of ISCIS 2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes notes on Electrical Engineering, known as LNEE. Also, an extended and revised version of the best papers will be considered for publication in The Computer Journal. Please submit your paper via Easy Chair at the following web address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iscis2011 The authors should add the keyword "Urban sensing" to the submission.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in emerging the Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Connecting different WSNs is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of many sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance. Also, an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as the connection between WSNs and connectivity issues. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Sensor deployment and connectivity issues - Integration of WSN and RFID - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - InterconnectingWSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Authentication, vulnerability, protection, and security issues - Fault-tolerance and dependability of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues - Routing and network protocols - Medium access control protocols - Transport protocols for congestion control, and Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guidelines and policy 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 central element of this vision is the existence of a network of interconnected objects (from books to cars, from electrical appliances to food) that will be able not only to obtain information from their surroundings and interact with the physical world, but also to use existing Internet standards to provide services. However, security is extremely important for achieving this goal. As this worldwide network of interconnected objects can be exploited anywhere by anyone and anytime, it is necessary to enhance it with strong security foundations able to give birth to a world-changing paradigm. In fact, in order to adequately protect the IoT, there are plenty of factors that must be taken into account. For example, the protection of the different building blocks, the creation of interoperable security mechanisms, the development of new services that allow multiple entities (e.g., human beings, machines, objects) to cooperate with each other, and the management of all the information produced by those interactions. This special issue is proposed to cover research results and innovation case studies on security for the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal Challenges and Governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of Security and Privacy Technologies in the context of the IoT. Submitted papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished works. Original research papers are solicited in all areas on security for the Internet of Things. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security). Prospective authors should submit their papers online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special Issue', and enter 'Running Head' and 'Special Issue title' as 'SCN-SI-029' and 'Internet of things', respectively.

Aristotelis Hadjakos <hadjakos(a)TK.INFORMATIK.TU-DARMSTADT.DE> schrieb: Verteilte Systeme in ‚Smart Spaces‘ Vernetzte Computer haben längst den Schreibtisch verlassen: als Mobiltelefone, in Gegenstände eingebettet oder als Sensor/Aktor-Knoten durchdringen sie den Alltag. Doch bei aller Vernetzung: zur Hollywood-Vision mancher Science-Fiction-Filme, worin all diese Knoten als vernetzte Intelligenz den Menschen umgeben, bestens kennen und unterstützen (oder bedrohen), fehlt im Alltag noch einiges. Beim Bestreben, aus physisch vernetzten Knoten ein kooperatives, ‚kluges‘ vernetztes System zu formen, dient als Integrationskonzept oft der Raum als bedeutungstragende Einheit, zu der die Knoten ihren Beitrag leisten. Die dabei entstehenden Smart Spaces repräsentieren Räume im weiteren Sinn: - Häufig tatsächlich physische Räume wie bei Smart Homes, Smart Buildings, Smart Cities usw. - Cyberinfrastrukturen, die in virtuellen (3D-) Räumen repräsentiert werden … - … und soziale ‚Räume‘ wie bspw. Bürgerinitiativen mit ihren vernetzten Mitgliedern Das Fachgespräch soll neuen Beiträgen zu Smart Spaces ein Forum bilden und die entsprechenden Forschergruppen im deutschsprachigen Raum näher zusammenführen. Erwünschte Beiträge Eingeladen sind Beiträge zum vorstehend skizzierten Thema Smart Spaces; willkommen sind insbesondere neue Artikel, aber auch Übersichten über größere Vorhaben bei Betonung jüngster, noch nicht veröffentlichter Teilaspekte. Auch Projekte unmittelbar vor oder in der Implementierungsphase sind zugelassen, sollen aber die konkrete Umsetzung darlegen. Von jedem Beitrag wird erwartet, dass er - auf das verwendete Konzept von Raum besonders eingeht und dieses in Abgrenzung zum Stand der Forschung darstellt und - deutlich macht, wie mit Hilfe dieses Raum-Konzeptes die kollektive ‚Smartness‘ der vernetzten Systeme – beispielsweise in einem offenen selbstorganisierenden Zusammenschluss – erreicht wird. Solange auf diese Punkte konkret eingegangen wird, sind Konzepte für Physische Räume beliebiger Ausdehnung, für Virtuelle Räume und für Soziale Räume gleichermaßen willkommen. Organisation und Veröffentlichung Das Zusammentreffen der Beitragenden und Interessierten wird als eintägiges Fachgespräch der GI/ITG- Fachgruppe “Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme” organisiert. Den teilnehmenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern wird auch ausreichend Gelegenheit zum informellen Austausch und zur Identifikation von Anknüpfungspunkten geben. Beiträge mit hohem Innovations- und Reifegrad können zu einem Artikel in der Fachzeitschrift PIK der Fachgruppe weiterentwickelt werden. Beitragsformat und Termine 15. Mai: Kurzfassung auf 2-3 DIN-A4-Seiten (Ränder 2.5 cm, Times 11pt oder vergleichbar, einzeilig). Einreichung per E-Mail an telis(a)tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de 31.

Michael Zapf <Michael.Zapf(a)UNI-KASSEL.DE> schrieb: Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen_____________________________________________ Sozio-technisches Systemdesign im Zeitalter des Ubiquitous Computing (SUBICO 2011) Workshop im Rahmen der INFORMATIK 2011 – Informatik schafft Communities 41. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik 4.10. – 7.10.2011 TU Berlin http://goto.uni-kassel.de/subico2011 Zielsetzung Die persönliche Lebensgestaltung ist heute von IT-Anwendungen durchdrungen. Das Internet gehört bereits zum Alltag vieler Menschen; das mobile Internet bietet uns schon heute an praktisch jedem Ort Zugang zu Informationen und Diensten. Diese allgegenwärtige technische Vernetzung hat das Wesen unserer sozialen Netze bereits stark beeinflusst und wird sie auch in Zukunft um neue Formen der Kommunikation und Interaktion bereichern. Mit den Möglichkeiten der ubiquitären Informationsverarbeitung (Ubiquitous Computing) rücken zudem Anwendungen und Dienste in den Vordergrund, bei denen die zur Erbringung notwendigen Computer immer stärker mit unserer alltäglichen Lebensumgebung verschmelzen und höchstens noch peripher wahrgenommen werden. Damit entsteht eine neue Art der vernetzten Interaktion und Informationsverarbeitung, die sowohl in technischer als auch sozialer Hinsicht gestaltet werden muss, um rechtskonforme und sozialverträgliche Anwendungen zu erhalten. Die sozialverträgliche Gestaltung von Systemen benötigt interdiszplinäre, den Funktionen des Ubiquitous Computing und den Zielsetzungen der Gestaltung angepasste Entwicklungsmethoden. Der Workshop richtet sich aufgrund der interdisziplinären Problemstellung an Forscher, Entwickler und Führungskräfte aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen (Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, HCI; Recht, usw.), die sich mit der Gestaltung von zukünftigen, ubiquitären IT-Systemen beschäftigen. Der Workshop soll zur Vernetzung der Disziplinen beitragen, eine Basis für gemeinsame Methoden und Werkzeuge liefern und ein Diskussionsforum für sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung bieten. Mögliche Themen Die interdisziplinäre Ausrichtung des Workshops beinhaltet ein breites Themenspektrum. Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing bilden die Grundlage für zukunftsfähige Anwendungen. Dazu gehören Kontextsensitivität, Situationserkennung und Adaptivität, die es Anwendungen ermöglichen, auf Veränderungen in der Umwelt und der Benutzerpräferenzen zu reagieren und sich geeignet an unterschiedliche Situationen zu adaptieren. Durch die vielfältige Sensorik, mit der benutzerspezifische Daten erfasst werden, haben ubiquitäre Systeme einen großen Einfluss auf das soziale Gefüge. Eine sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung ist hier unabdingbar. Dabei ist neben den eingesetzten neuartigen Interaktionskonzepten und Benutzerschnittstellen vor allem die Berücksichtigung der Akzeptanz ubiquitärer Anwendungen zu nennen. Diese kann zum Beispiel durch eine Erhöhung des Vertrauens in die Anwendung realisiert werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die konsequente Berücksichtigung rechtlicher Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung. Bei der sozialverträglichen Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme müssen vorher genannte Aspekte im Entwicklungsprozess Berücksichtigung finden. Dazu bedarf es passender Methoden und Techniken. Zusätzlich verlangt die Entwicklung ubiquitärer Systeme nach Werkzeugen, die eine effektive Umsetzung von neuen Anwendungsideen ermöglichen. Es werden Beiträge erbeten, die vor allem, aber nicht ausschließlich, folgende Themen ansprechen: - Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing * Kontextsensitivität als Grundlage ubiquitärer Anwendungen * Adaptivität mobiler und ubiquitärer Anwendungen * Wissensentdeckung - Sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung * Interaktionskonzepte und Benutzerschnittstellen * Akzeptanz und Vertrauen in neue IT-Systeme * Rechtliche Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung * gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen ubiquitärer Systeme - Entwicklungsmethoden für ubiquitäre Systeme - Werkzeuge zur Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme - Anwendungsbeispiele Wichtige Termine 24.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MobiArch 2011 - Deadline extended Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 08:58:31 +0000 Von: Ratul Mahajan <ratul(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> CC: Kyle Jamieson (k.jamieson(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk) <k.jamieson(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk> Call for Papers: The 6th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2011) http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk June 28, 2011 Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2011 in Washington, D.C. Technical Area With recent advances in technologies for wireless access (e.g., WiFi, 3G, and 4G) and mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), mobility has become a fundamental characteristic of today's Internet. Yet, basic architectural issues related to mobility such as efficient mobility management, the locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, and various operational, deployment concerns are still in their early stages of exploration. Moreover, the Internet architecture itself, its end-to-end principles, and business models require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as seamless and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies such as those in the 60 GHz and whitespace bands may pose additional challenges since they may introduce design principles different from the packet-switched Internet. MobiArch 2011 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. We encourage submission of early, in-progress work as well as position papers. The workshop will address all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on Internet architecture. * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in the link, network, and transport layers, to the application layer and cross-layer design. * Architectures and protocols for service partitioning, code offloading, and data center management to support mobile devices in the compute cloud. * Location management, robustness, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues. * Security, dependability, and privacy issues in mobility networks, and their impacts on Internet architecture. * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in remote areas and developing countries. * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet. * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts on Internet architecture. * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices). * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design. Paper format and submission instructions Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. Paper submission will be handled via HotCRP. Papers will be reviewed single-blind.
