-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:33:31 -0400 Von: Yu Wang <yu.wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2011 Camera ready: June 1st, 2011 Publication of special issue: Fall, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals. Submissions of both in-depth research papers and review/application-oriented papers are encouraged. Manuscripts for the special issue should be emailed to the guest editors ( emails shown below) in PDF format with the email subject "QoS Management Special Issue - Paper Submission".

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Pervasive Health 2011 :: 2º CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 01:28:32 +0100 Von: Pervasive Health 2011 conference <pervasivehealth2011.conference(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (We apologize for multiples copies) (Please distribute) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health 2011 :: 2º CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health 2011 Conference 23rd-26th May, 2011 :: Dublin, Ireland http://www.pervasivehealth.org/ ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Submission deadline: February 4th, 2011 ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It is with great pleasure that we announce the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare. The overall goal of the conference remains tightly coupled with the original aims of the field, to address a set of related technologies and concepts that help integrate healthcare more seamlessly into everyday life, regardless of space and time. To achieve this, it is necessary to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community has a broad scope of research topics and concerns: - identifying and understanding problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); - design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and - organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. The 2011 Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. The theme of this year’s conference is: Coping with the Challenges and Opportunities within Pervasive E-Healthcare (COPE), with a special focus on pervasive healthcare management and its ability to deliver timely, quality based information to medical practitioners in providing high levels of patient care. The challenges and opportunities within e-Healthcare are immense. A multidisciplinary and coordinated approach is needed from 1) user requirements, 2) technology development and 3) application integration, to help deliver a successful pervasive healthcare management system. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We welcome contributions from the following fields: - Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions - Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) - Sensing Technologies and Distributed Computing - Hardware and Software Infrastructures We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to: Pervasive Healthcare Management - Challenges surrounding data quality - Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare - Business cases and cost issues - Security and privacy issues - Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare - Legal and regulatory issues - Insurance payments and cost aspects - Staffing and resource management Understanding Users - User requirements - Identifying and addressing stakeholder conflicts: patient needs, caregiver needs, health professional needs, organisational needs - Usability and acceptability - Barriers to adoption, and enablers - Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion - Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services - Patient empowerment - Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements - Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations Knowledge Representation and Reasoning - Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data - Activity recognition - Fall detection - User modelling and personalization - Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environment Technology - Sensor-based decision support systems - Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors - Wearable and implantable sensor integration - Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments - Data mining medical patient records - Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware - Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications - Autonomous systems to support independent living - Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies - Telemedicine - Chronic disease and health risk management applications - Health promotion and disease prevention - Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring - Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients - Smart homes and hospitals - Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data - Wellbeing and lifestyle support - Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairements - Systems to support caregivers ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health will accept submissions in the following categories: 1.
