This results in an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with excellent usability and performance as well as the ability to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.). Besides attractive business opportunities this opens up exciting research and development areas. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 reliable network availability and transparent access to "their own" personalized services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the diverse areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences, and thus realize cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academia, research centers and industry. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical papers to the following tracks: TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES - Wireless communication standards (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16/WiMAX, 802.20, Bluetooth, ECMA-387, wireless USB, LTE Advanced) - Next generation mobile networks (including vehicular communication) - Mobile multi-hop networks, ubiquitous coverage - Ad hoc, sensor and cooperative networks - Pervasive and wearable computing - Green communication, energy saving - Wireless transmission (multi-/single-carrier, multi-antenna, multi-user, modulation, coding) - Lightweight devices architecture - Internetworking and interoperability - Protocol stack design (layering, cross-layering) - Cognitive radio and software defined radio - Self-organization and cooperation - Compact and power efficient RF architectures for wireless devices MOBILE SERVICES - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive multimedia - Ambient assisted living - Usability and HMI - Location and context aware services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and next generation services BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS - Architectures deployment - Service provisioning - Value-added services - Business models - Next generation lightweight devices - Industry perspectives and market evolution - Users' needs and requirements - Available and emerging solutions Workshops, Special Sessions and Tutorials on the latest technical and business issues in topics of mobile lightweight wireless systems are encouraged.

Please redistribute within your own groupor among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------- Ubicomp 2010 - 12th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing Copenhagen, Denmark September 26 - September 29, 2010 http://www.ubicomp2010.org/ Important Dates Note: Submission deadlines are firm and late submissions will not be accepted, so we encourage authors to begin the submission process early. 1. Papers & Notes * Submission Deadline: March 12, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notifications of Acceptance: May 25, 2010 * Final Version Due: July 16, 2010 2. Workshop Proposals * Submission Deadline: March 26, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: April 26, 2010 * Workshop Call for Papers Distribution: May 10, 2010 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) * Submission: June 25, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: July 26, 2010 * Final Version Due: August 6, 2010 1. Papers and Notes Ubicomp 2010 welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems and their applications. Ubicomp 2010 will include a highly selective single-track program of full papers and notes. Full Papers (10-page submissions) and Notes (4-page submissions that are not works in progress) are due at the same time and will be reviewed by the same committee using the same review process to ensure a uniform quality between Full Papers and Notes. All papers (Full Papers and Notes) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research or experience, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. They will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing, and technical correctness. Submissions must not have been previously published or be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in the CfP. Papers should be formatted according to the Ubicomp ACM Word or Latex template. Papers must include an abstract of no more than 150 words. Paper submissions have to be anonymized to facilitate double blind review. Authors should take care throughout their paper that their own and their institution’s identity is not revealed. However, relevant references to an author’s previous research (which may be required for reviewers to understand and evaluate the paper’s contribution) should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/papers Programm Chairs * Paddy Nixon, University College Dublin, Ireland * Khai Truong, University of Toronto, Canada 2. Workshops Ubicomp 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops be held on Sunday, September 26, prior to the main conference. The Workshops program will provide a forum for attendees to discuss specialized topics or topics of special interest. This year, we would especially encourage more ambitious workshops of two types. The first type is academic in nature and can be viewed as mini-tracks to the main conference. These workshops should have the potential to be sustainable and re-occur in the coming years. Hence, we are looking to host workshops with the ambition of setting up a program committee and aim for publication for improved versions of the workshop papers. The second type of workshops aims at building ubiquitous systems or applications at the day of the workshop. Hence, this type of workshops is a place for people to meet and design, build, or integrate ubiquitous systems. This may range from physical design mock-ups containing no technology, to a video prototype, to building an application on a hardware toolkit provided by the organizers. Such a workshop should feed directly into the other parts of the conference by producing a demo or a video for the demo and video program . Important dates and guidelines for the submission of the workshop proposals are available on the conference web site. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/Workshops Workshop Chairs * Louise Barkhuus, University of California, San Diego, USA * Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) The Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program track provides researchers with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Posters allow you to inform attendees about your work in person, demos allow you to showcase tangible results and communicate ideas and concepts in a powerful way, and videos allow you to visualize the results of your research and development efforts. Ubicomp 2010 newly combines these hitherto seperate tracks into an integrated, multimodal submission process: Submit your work both as a video and a demo; present a poster and show a video; or go for a combination of all three! A multimodal submission not only gets more “participant face-time”, but also increases its chances for acceptance: if the submission gets accepted in at least one of the tracks, it is implicitly accepted into the other tracks (subject to some basic quality control, of course). The basis of your Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program submission is a 2-page abstract that describes the technology being presented and discusses the novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches that it brings to the ubiquitous computing community. Even if you go multimodal, you are required to submit one abstract only. Depending on what tracks you are submitting to, you might need to provide supplemental material such as a poster sketch, a demo description, and/or a video.

The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around two per cent of global greenhouse gas (CHG) emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Green networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of the heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency. * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy-efficiency measures. * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery. * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency. * Algorithms for scheduling and resource management. * Energy harvesting. * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency. * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns. * Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals. Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial/home/office environments/applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading to energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications. * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments. * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions. * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy efficient virtualization of resources. Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010. Paper submission via EDAS, 5 pages IEEE format. http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8321&track=8419 Full papers due: Jan 11 2009 Acceptance notification: Jan 30 2010 Camera ready version: Feb 10 2010 General Chair Ignas Niemegeers, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Publicity Chair Hakan Delic, Bogazici University, Turkey Technical Program Committee Chair R. Venkatesha Prasad, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Technical Program Committee Co-Chair Ertan Onur, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands What is different? The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will be slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here we have identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both have been currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken into account by the ICT community. The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into the two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2. These two groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group. Then they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with all of the participants. This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger perspective. It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to quickly crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come. It is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a list of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the participants to team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will start cooperation with each other. Contact Information R.

To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols th! at should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • Adoption and adaptation of web technologies • Application protocols and service architectures • Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation • Domain-specific security and privacy solutions • Inter-networking technologies and architectures • MAC technologies and channel management • Multiple radio integration and control • Physical layer and RF level technologies • Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support • Real-time experimental systems and testbeds • RF integration and SDR technologies • Safety and non-safety applications and services • Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques • Delay tolerant networks • Energy efficient communications • Traffic and mobility models Submission Guidelines Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. Authors MUST submit their manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website http://edas.info and must be in PDF format.
