-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 16:51:06 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 3 weeks left ========== Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Intenational Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N 2010): Submission deadline: 14 Feb 2010 Datum: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 08:57:35 -0800 (PST) Von: Stan Lin <cklin_1999(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple postings *************************************************************************** Call for Papers The First International Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N) in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM's 10) May 23 (temporary date), 2010, Kansas City, USA http://q2s.ntnu.no/events/qos2n/start Submission deadline: February 14, 2010 *************************************************************************** Data management in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is challenging, especially with mobile sensor nodes joining or leaving the network at will. Recently it has become increasingly popular to utilize sensor networks for providing various services, e.g., audio/video surveillance, real-time monitoring, etc. Such WSN functionality demands the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in terms of delay, jitter, loss, or throughput using intelligent resource reservation schemes, policy-based service provision, etc. Enabling QoS guarantees in large-scale WSNs, while utilizing the network resources in the most efficient way, is critical for the success and life-time of the service-oriented WSNs. Providing QoS in WSNs involves addressing various technological issues, e.g., inherent limitations of sensors, varying network loads, network congestion, multi-path routing, changing channel capacity as a function of environment, time, and interference from neighbors, mobility and cross-layer design, etc. In addition, the trade-off between predictable network behavior and network lifetime, as well as between policy-based route selection and load distribution need further investigation. Privacy of sensor information is also a concern since multiple sensors share/access a common media. QoS2N workshop aims at providing a platform for discussing the above issues, recent challenges and solutions, and directions for future research on enabling QoS in WSNs. Researchers, professionals and application developers from industry and academia are welcome to exchange ideas, discuss results, and share experience in a broad range of topics related to QoS and sensor networking. Both theoretical and practical experience papers are solicited. Work-in-progress and position papers are welcome. The topics of interest in the setting of wireless sensor networks include but are not limited to • Algorithms and protocol to support QoS in wireless sensor networks • QoS metrics • QoS routing • User perceived quality • Game theoretical model and communication • QoS schemes at the data link layer and the network layer • Cross-layer architecture • Policy-based routing • Class adaptation schemes • Admission control, resource allocation and fairness • Real-time scheduling and planning • Power management and energy-efficient design • Networking protocols and architectures • Image quality in video-surveillance sensor networks • Provisioning of QoS (bandwidth and delay) in multimedia sensor systems • Performance modeling and simulation techniques • Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking • Data Management of RFID system • Privacy and security We solicit original unpublished work written in English that is not currently under review at another venue. The submitted long papers should be no more than 6 pages and the short and position papers should be no more than 3 pages.

CFP: Fifth Workshop on multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks (MediaWiN 2010) - 2 weeks to submission
by Luca Foschini 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Fifth Workshop on multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks (MediaWiN 2010) (http://mediaWiN.it.teithe.gr) June 22nd, 2010 Riccione, Italy organized in association with the Fourteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2010) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2010) Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) Contributions to MediaWiN 2010 should address the technical challenges arising from novel networking scenarios. Visionary, early-stage works that are rigorously presented and can steer discussion to new topics are particularly welcome. We are actively encouraging researchers to share their views, research proposals and solutions for multimedia applications over wireless networks. Since the first workshop edition in 2006, the proliferation of wireless access technologies and multimedia applications over IP networks is leading to a growing interest in the convergence between wireless networks and multimedia applications. However, the strict requirements of multimedia applications, the unreliability of wireless media and the cost of wireless resources make this convergence very challenging.

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 1st March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 19th March 2010: Notification of acceptance - 5th April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of three pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: Shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ========================================================

However, even more work on this area is needed to obtain significant results in improving the Quality of Life of patients and reducing medical errors and costs. First of all, a strict interaction and cooperation among medical specialists and ICT experts is necessary to define correct requirements fore-health systems. Then, in order to effectively design and deploy reliable E-health systems, a strong cooperation among several diverse research areas of ICT is necessary (i.e., bioengineering, wearable sensors, wireless communications, data fusion and processing, decision support systems and others). This is fundamental to make E-health systems a reality, satisfying main requirements of reliability and effectiveness both all the involved perspectives perspective. IREHSS aims to provide a forum for the interaction of experts belonging to these different research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, databases, security and privacy. The main objective is to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas as an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective E-health systems. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to E-health, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Wearable and Implantable sensors for healthcare - Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Privacy and security issues in healthcare - Middleware for e-health - Energy Efficiency in health monitoring - Artificial intelligence and expert systems - User interface, usability and acceptability of e-health systems - Healthcare applications for clinicians - Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Power Management and energy-efficient design in Wireless Body Area Networks - System architecture and networking protocols for e-health systems - Medical data analysis, measurements and management - Modeling and performance evaluation - Semantic Web in Healthcare - Standards and frameworks Paper submission for regular papers must be limited to 6 pages including text, figures, references and appendices. They should be organized in IEEE proceedings format, with a font size of at least 10pt. Papers exceeding the maximum length of 6 pages will be automatically rejected. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website http:// www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/index.jsp . The submission will be entirely managed through EDAS (http://edas.info/N8548). In line with the previous edition, there will be NO workshop-only registration. Conference registration includes attendance to all WoWMoM associated workshops, CD proceedings, etc. Moreover, each workshop paper will need to have at least one author register at the FULL conference rate. The workshop papers will be included in the main WoWMoM proceedings and published by the IEEE.
