-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP IEEE COMMAG Special Issue on Communication in Ubiquitous Healthcare Datum: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 01:36:25 -0200 (BRST) Von: Carlos Becker Westphall <westphal(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Communications in Ubiquitous Healthcare: Wireless Sensors, Networked Devices, Protocols and Solutions" Many countries continue to face the major challenge of economically supporting their welfare systems, particularly medical/health benefits. Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients. While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals. This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged. In summary, we are soliciting high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design, prototyping and deployment. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Sensing of Vital Signs and Signatures . Wearable Medical Wireless Sensors, . Energy Saving for Long Time Monitoring . Software Architectures (Agent, SOA, Middleware, etc.) . UHealth Smart home Network Infrastructure and Gateway . Modeling Ubiquitous Healthcare Smart home Environment .

Fwd: [Tccc] Extended submission deadline for IP+SN 2011

Andreas Terzis <terzis(a)cs.jhu.edu> schrieb: Please note that the deadline to submit to IP+SN 2011 has been extended to Feb. 28. You will need to submit your abstract by Feb 14. The updated CFP follows best regards, Andreas Terzis =-=-=-=-= Extending the Internet to Low power and Lossy Networks (IP+SN 2011) April 11th 2011 Chicago, Illinois Co-located with CPS Week 2011 http://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/ip+sn2011/ For nearly a decade, wireless sensor network research and development largely assumed that the Internet architecture was ill-suited for sensor networks. Many in the field argued that the Internet protocols were impractical for the resource constrained devices that were being embedded in the physical world; that the end-to-end architecture was inappropriate for the localized algorithms and in-network processing required to achieve robustness and scalability; and that an architecture designed to accommodate a wide range of applications was unnecessary as sensor networks would be tailored to specific target applications. In the past couple years, the Smart Grid push has placed a pressing need to deploy networks that have an unprecedented scale when compared to existing IP networks (e.g., 10 million end points within a single network targeted by utility manufacturers), allow multi-vendor interoperability, and utilize low-cost communication devices. Sensor networks are considered a natural fit for Smart Grid applications such as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Home Area Networking (HAN). To address this need, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is working with researchers and practitioners to standardize protocols, such as 6LoWPAN and ROLL, for constrained networks. This workshop solicits articles that describe early experiences with such standards, papers that describe sensor network applications built on top of these standards, as well as research proposals regarding how to extend the standards. Topics of Interest Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop. The topics of interest include theoretical and empirical work in, but not limited to: * Experience with 6LoWPAN/RPL implementations * Experience with IP-based sensornet deployments * Interoperability results * Applications of IP-based sensor networks * Application-level protocols (e.g., work related to the IETF CoRE WG on CoAP) * End-to-end, IP-based architectures that include sensor networks * Experience with IP over low-power, duty cycled networks Important Dates * Abstract Submission Deadline: Feb 14th * Paper Submission Deadline: Feb 28th * Acceptance Notification: March 18th * Camera Ready Due: April 4th Workshop Organization Co-Chairs * Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University * Jonathan Hui, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online world. Corporations, governments, and other organizations are realizing and exploiting their power to track users and their behavior. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, but also companies and governments, from profiling and censorship include decentralization, encryption, distributed trust, and automated policy disclosure. The 11th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium addresses the design and realization of such privacy services for the Internet and other data systems and communication networks by bringing together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives. The symposium seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions with novel technical contributions from other communities such as law, business, and data protection authorities, that present their perspectives on technological issues. As in the past, the proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the event. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: Anonymous communications and publishing systems Attacks on privacy and privacy technologies Censorship resistance Data protection technologies Economics of privacy and PETs Fielded systems and techniques for enhancing privacy in existing systems Location privacy Privacy and anonymity in Peer-to-Peer, Cloud, and Ubiquitous Computing Environments Privacy and inference control in databases Privacy-enhanced access control or authentication/certification Privacy-friendly payment mechanisms for PETs and other services Privacy in Online Social Networks Privacy policy languages and tools Privacy threat models Profiling and data mining Pseudonyms, identity management, linkability, and reputation Reliability, robustness and abuse prevention in privacy systems Traffic analysis Transparency enhancing tools Usability issues and user interfaces for PETs General Chairs: Ian Goldberg, University of Waterloo Katrina Hanna, Research In Motion Program Chairs: Simone Fischer-Huebner, Karlstad University Nicholas Hopper, University of Minnesota Program Committee: Kevin Bauer, University of Colorado Jean Camp, Indiana University George Danezis, Microsoft Research Sabrina De Capitani di Vimercati, Università degli Studi di Milano Claudia Diaz, K.U.Leuven Roger Dingledine, The Tor Project Hannes Federrath, University Regensburg Julien Freudiger, EPFL Simson Garfinkel, Naval Postgraduate School Rachel Greenstadt, Drexel University Thomas Heydt-Benjamin, The Free Haven Project Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL Aaron Johnson, University of Texas at Austin Bradley Malin, Vanderbilt University Damon McCoy, University of California, San Diego Aleecia McDonald, Carnegie Mellon University David Molnar, Microsoft Research Steven Murdoch, University of Cambridge Shishir Nagaraja, IIIT Delhi Arvind Narayanan, Stanford University Gregory Neven, IBM Research Zurich Pierangela Samarati, Università degli Studi di Milano Adam Smith, Pennsylvania State University Carmela Troncoso, K.U.Leuven Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington HotPETs chairs: Carmela Troncoso, K.U.Leuven Julien Freudiger, EPFL Papers to be submitted to the PET Symposium must be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 20 pages total. Submission of shorter papers is strongly encouraged whenever appropriate. Papers must conform to the Springer LNCS style (in which the text area per page is a little smaller than 5" x 7 3/4"). Follow the "Information for Authors" link at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Papers not following these instructions risk being rejected without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Reviewers of submitted papers are not required to read the appendices and the paper should be intelligible without them. The paper should start with the title and an abstract. The introduction should give some background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Submitted papers must not be anonymized. Proceedings will be published by Springer and made available at the symposium. By submitting a paper, you agree that if it is accepted, you will sign a paper distribution agreement allowing for publication, and also that an author of the paper will register for the symposium and present the paper there. Our current working agreement with Springer is that authors will retain copyright on their own works while assigning an exclusive 3-year distribution license to Springer. Authors may still post their papers on their own Web sites. See http://petsymposium.org/2010/2010-springer-form.pdf for the 2010 version of this agreement. Paper submissions must be received by February 28, 2011, 23:59 UTC (7pm EST). Details about the paper submission process will appear on the PETS web site at http://petsymposium.org. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by April 11th, 2011 and authors will have the opportunity to revise their papers for the proceedings version due on May 9th, 2011. HotPETs As with the last several years, part of the symposium will be devoted to HotPETs the hottest, most exciting research ideas still in a formative state presented in 10 20 minutes for discussion and feedback from the audience. Submissions need not be technical in nature; we welcome challenges from other fields whereby our audience may learn about real world needs that require new research and solutions. Our intent is to bring new questions, approaches, and problems to our privacy community for discussion, feedback, and consideration of new approaches based on the diverse expertise of our attendees. Submissions to HotPETs may be in either a 1 to 4 page extended abstract format, or a full length paper format. We prefer extended abstract format, and all accepted full length submissions must be converted to extended abstract form prior to the camera ready deadline. Successful submissions will have their abstracts printed for hard copy distribution at the event. The abstracts will not be part of the PETS proceedings in order to ensure authors may subsequently publish the expanded work, either in a future PETS or elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MobiArch 2011 Datum: Sat, 5 Feb 2011 17:57:26 +0000 Von: Ratul Mahajan <ratul(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: mobiarch11-tpc-chairs(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk <mobiarch11-tpc-chairs(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<http://www.sigmobile.org/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<http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/hotcrp>. Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

Risen from the ashes of traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with the variability of a network solely made up from mobile users, opportunistic communications have recently stood out and gained a lot of research attention. Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile network. The idea of opportunistically exploiting extemporary contacts among the users of the network poses new and challenging problems, as well as providing with novel and promising opportunities, to the networking research community. The AOC 2011 workshop will be a meeting point for people working in the area and it will constitute a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. The AOC 2011 workshop will have a primary interest in the new directions of opportunistic communications represented by mobile social networking, content-centric networking, and participatory sensing. More in general, papers tackling issues related to opportunistic networking and computing are welcome. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications are solicited, as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing * Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and opportunistic networks * Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP (due in 1 week): Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2011 @ IEEE ICDCS 2011) Datum: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 03:30:09 -0500 Von: Leszek T. Lilien <leszek.lilien(a)WMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: WMU An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ******************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate CFP to your colleagues that might be interested. ******************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - due in 1 week >> Paper submission deadline extended till Friday, February 11 << SAHNS 2011 The Third International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Minneapolis, USA, June 23, 2011 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2011/ In conjunction with the IEEE 31st International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2011) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions (incl. incentive-based techniques) o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer and Layer 2.5 protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. discovery and integration of resources) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: llilien(a)wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within no more than two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. Information on indexing publications for the events of the IEEE Computer Society is available at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/benefits#indexing We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.
