Prof. Jehn-Ruey Jiang, National Central University, Taiwan, R.O.C.* A smart digital home refers to a living space with devices that are connected through wired or wireless networks. The connected devices may be sensors, actors, consumer electronics, appliances, mobile and PC devices that cooperate transparently for facilitating living and improving usability in the home. Sensors can capture the and/or detect physical phenomena, like temperature, humidity, illumination, etc., of living environments and notify other devices of the phenomena; actors and other devices can then act according to the phenomena to provide context aware services. Home care of the old, the young, the sick and the disabled can benefit from smart digital home technologies, by which carers are able to acquire the states of the home and the residents anytime, anywhere and to take proper actions immediately. By the technologies, proper actions can also be triggered automatically in the presence of specific events, such as resident falling, and stove catching fire, etc. Smart digital home technologies enable working from home, remote education, network shopping, online gaming, etc. High speed broadband network access and all-IP technologies enabled by frameworks of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), SDP (Service Delivery Platforms), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), and so on, offer new communication capabilities. We can foresee that innovative smart digital home applications benefiting from high network capabilities will be blooming in the near future. Since a variety of devices presents in a smart digital home, convergent (across all the screens of TVs, PCs, appliances and mobile devices) and personalized user experience is evidently the key for the success of new residential applications. *Subject Coverage* The goal of this special issue is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of the smart digital home.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) Datum: Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:32:51 -0500 Von: Habib Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

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.

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.
