-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MACOM-2010: Deadline extended - 1 March 2010 Datum: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:03:57 +0100 Von: Boris Bellalta <boris.bellalta(a)upf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu MACOM 2010 3rd International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications 13-14 September 2010, Barcelona, Spain http://www.csit-spb.ru/macom2010.html Aims and Topics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels", and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques. The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas: - PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc. - Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc. - PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques; - Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc. - Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools. The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cognitive radio networks. - Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks. - Cooperative wireless networks. - QoS and radio resource management. - Future Internet architectures considering cognitive, autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects. - Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular (3G/4G) and satellite communications. - Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc. Venue ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MACOM 2010 will take place in the burgeoning 22@ innovation district in Barcelona, Spain. Its centric location, combined with the high density of universities, research institutes and technology- oriented companies, makes this the ideal spot for the event. The neighborhood has nice promenades and beaches to relax after technical sessions and it is also one of the main clubbing areas in the city. Address: Campus de la Comunicació. Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Roc Boronat 138, 08018 Barcelona, Spain.

These domains present new challenges that include expressing, verifying and validating requirements and ensuring functional correctness. Formal methods are one approach to address these challenges. Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems add additional concerns to classical safety-critical applications and require rethinking how to apply well-established formal methods. Examples of these approaches include state-action models (e.g., labeled transition system, timed automata, and Petri nets) or process models (e.g., pi-calculus). Alternatively, semi-formal methods like ontologies or UML, a common specification language for the describing software models, model knowledge for context-aware applications. Both formal and semi-formal methods have their advantages and disadvantages. This special issue will address the state of the art: the research challenges, and the available methods, methodologies and tools to specify, validate, and verify pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems. Topics The special issue intends to focus on the above issues and solicits papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to formal and semi-formal methods for pervasive computing. Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Formal specification of pervasive, self-adaptive, self-organizing, and context-aware systems - Ontology based approaches - Specific UML profiles - Formal verification of specifications and implementations - Model-Checking techniques and tools - Run-time and automated verification - Methodologies, languages, and tools - Applications and experiences in critical scenarios (e.g. healthcare, disaster recovery, etc.) Submission Guidelines Papers should be up to 20 pages (appendixes are not included into the overall count of pages), formatted according to the guidelines provided at the ACM TAAS Web site (http://taas.acm.org/) and submitted via the TAAS manuscript central systems at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taas Please make explicit in the cover page that your paper is intended as a submission to the special issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems.

CfP: Emerging technologies of wireless communication in healthcare
by Lars Wolf 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Call For Papers JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN HEALTHCARE PUBLICATION DATE: April 2011 With the emerging technologies of wireless communication, Healthcare systems can be significantly improved with lower cost and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and impacts to the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing interests in the public and have attracted large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. For wireless healthcare system assisted with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), the medical sensors implanted on/in body gather patients’ health information and transmit the private health information through heterogeneous wireless networks such as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and Wireless Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), in order for the patients to receive high quality healthcare services remotely on time regardless of patients’ physical location. However, this new form of healthcare system also poses critical requirements to traditional wireless networks and has promoted a promising research area recently. Challenges facing the wireless communications in healthcare systems include: definition of healthcare policy and legal issues towards potential new applications; the design of architectures among wireless communications for supporting safe and reliable signal propagation with low network latency; emergency response and detection; the need for privacy preservation of patients. This special issue aims at reporting the state-of-the-art research on emerging wireless technologies and applications in healthcare, highlighting research challenges and open issues and bringing together researchers and medical professionals from the academia, industry and government with the goal of fostering collaboration among them. Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles, reflecting those aspects of wireless communication research in healthcare distinctly different from wireless communication research in general are encouraged. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to:  Multiple access control protocol design  QoS provisioning  Energy-efficient algorithms  Unique middleware for enabling medical applications  Emergency response applications  Remote tactile sensors for remote diagnosis  Mobile patient monitoring devices and systems  Interactive and real-time WBANs systems  Security, privacy and legal issues  Policy and Standardization Continuing JCN’s tradition of fast turnaround together with full peer reviews, a tentative schedule is set as follows: September 30, 2010 Electronic manuscript (.ps or .pdf) submission to JCN website December 10, 2010 Reviews returned to authors.
