[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ Call for Papers ============================================================ 2010 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks (UBSN 2010) http://sites.google.com/site/ubsn2010 In conjunction with The 5th International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON 2010) http://www.wicon.org/ ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been increased investigation into new types of wireless sensor networks located on or around the human body, which are generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following continuous advances in wireless communication technologies, there has been growing interest in the design, development and deployment of BSN systems in applications for improving people's daily life, which has led to an increased demand for interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance systems, WPAN, WLAN, the Internet, and cellular networks. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs have become ubiquitous. As a result of this, and due to an increased demand for advanced e-healthcare management systems in recent years, the marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and related services have greatly increased. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are closely integrated with a person's everyday life are being generated. For example, by using BSNs to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnostic assistance and action handling, better e-healthcare management systems can be designed for providing more desirable services. In this workshop, we solicit research papers (regular papers and posters) on hardware for body sensors, system architectures, networking and communication protocols, applications, testbeds and prototypes, biomedical sensor data processing and sensor data management. In particular, we are interested in the following communication issues: * Intra-BSN Communication: The term "intra-BSN communication" defines communications directly related to the user (within radio coverage of about 2 meters), which consists of two categories: (1) the communications amongst the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body, implanted inside the body, or attached within in the person's clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. * Inter-BSN communication: The term "inter-BSN communication" defines communications between the personal server and one or more access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of a home or work infrastructure, or strategically placed within a dynamic environment for handling emergency situations. Inter-BSN communications will interconnect BSNs with the wide range of networks which are easily accessible in daily life. * Beyond-BSN communication: Beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect a BSN with the outside world, which enhances the application possibilities and brings the coverage / range of body sensor systems a step further via pervasive communication technologies, such as the Internet and cellular networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/workshop are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications * Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues * Ambulatory monitoring (activity monitoring, fall detection, cardiac and wellbeing monitoring) and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications * Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms, e.g., new operating systems, middleware, etc. * Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors * Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications * Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring * Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks * Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling * Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration * Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion * MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication * Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks * Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis * Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach * Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks * Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks * Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates: * Submission Deadline: October 15, 2009 (EST) * Acceptance Notice: November 15, 2009 * Final Manuscript: November 25, 2009 * Publication Date: March 1-3, 2010 Submission Instructions Please submit your paper(s) in PDF format to: * Min Chen, minchen(a)ece.ubc.ca and * Lei Shu, lei.shu(a)ieee.org All submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee and will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2010]: Announcement and Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:31:42 +0200 Von: Emilio Ancillotti <emilio.ancillotti(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS The Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2010 February 22-23, 2010, Pisa, Italy http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp2010 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged networks where communication opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks. Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel architectures * Routing protocols * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques * Dissemination and replication techniques * Opportunistic networking in P2P systems * Social-aware opportunisitc networking * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networking applications * Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks * Multimodal urban sensing * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM.

Sensing, processing and communication are three key elements whose combination in one small device is instrumental to pervasive computing and gives rise to countless applications. This workshop will provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers and professionals from industry and academia. Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks for pervasive computing are solicited. We particularly welcome submissions that present implementation and deployment results. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems for Sensor Networks - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Topology control - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Time synchronization - Location management - Sensor networks with mobile elements - Cross-layer architectures - Intelligent sensor nodes - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines . The link for the templates can be found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc2e… All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2010 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2009 Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009 Camera-ready papers due: January 29, 2010 GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Giuseppe Anastasi, University of Pisa, Italy Silvia Giordano, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland PROGRAM CHAIR Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland PUBLICITY CHAIR Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ozgur Akan, Middle East Technical University, Turkey Cesare Alippi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Alan Bertossi, University of Bologna, Italy Edoardo Biagioni, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA Ladislau Boloni, University of Central Florida, USA Eleonora Borgia, Institute of Informatics and Telematics - National Research Council, Italy Raffaele Bruno, Institute of Informatics and Telematics - National Research Council, Italy Levente Buttyan, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Tiziana Calamoneri, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Carla Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Diane J.
