Besides structural alterations of the own home, ICT can provide significantly increase comfort, safety, health, and well-being at home. What is needed is assistance in the management of everyday activities in the home environment. Supporting persons in their own homes in their daily living in a seamless and helpful fashion is one of the big challenges of ambient assisted homes. The objective is to improve the quality of life in the golden age with new technologies. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and with it ambient assisted homes include methods, concepts, (electronic) systems, devices as well as services that are providing unobtrusive support for daily life based on context and the situation of the assisted person. For ambient assisted homes traditional means for user interface development as known from desktop computing is often not suitable as many other conditions have an influence on the design in this context. One essential need in ambient assisted homes is seamless interaction, which is integrated into the immediate personal environment of the user. Novel user interfaces need to react intelligently to the user's situation, interaction and goals in a coherent way. Focus of this workshop is the design of novel seamless user interfaces in ambient assisted homes. We invite researchers from different areas computer science, psychology, nursing care, gerontology, geriatrics, and rehabilitation medicine to submit original results in the design, development, and evaluation of seamless interaction methods but also relevant experience reports and case studies that will contribute to future ambient assisted homes. Scenarios addressed include support for the daily tasks in the personal household, monitoring and prevention in home-based rehabilitation sport, assessment of activity, social interaction, as well as prevention and detection of emergency situations. ====================================================================== TOPICS Topics of the workshop lie in the area of seamless interaction for ambient assisted homes. We encourage submissions presenting the design, development, and evaluation of seamless interaction methods but also relevant experience reports and case studies that will contribute to future ambient assisted homes. Possible research themes include: * Multimodal and ambient interaction design for the elderly * Usability and accessibility engineering for seamless interaction * Results of user studies and evaluations of interacting in ambient assisted homes * Methods to evaluate ambient assisted home applications * Social, ethical and privacy related aspects of ambient assisted homes * Development of interactive healthcare systems for ambient assisted homes * Sensors and sensor fusion for context acquisition in ambient assisted homes * Architectures for seamless interaction in ambient assisted homes We encourage two types of submissions: (1) Research papers describing original research work which focuses on one or more of the workshop's topics, and (2) Experience reports and case studies from ambient assisted home living labs. We strongly encourage student papers, which may also report work in progress. ====================================================================== SUBMISSION OF PAPERS We kindly invite authors to submit original and unpublished papers until June 12, 2009. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages (corresponds to ~4 pages ACM two column style) for short papers and 20 pages (corresponds to ~7 pages ACM two column style) for long papers respectively in length and follow the template of the publisher of the University of Oldenburg - BIS-Verlag.

11 May '09

---------------------------------- Call for papers: 2nd International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2009) to be held in conjunction with SRDS 2009, Niagara Falls, New York, U.S.A., Sept. 27, 2009 http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS009/Call_for_Papers.html Due to the strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems, wireless sensors,and the ever increasing information computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks, the integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges, especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high-quality stationary systems, have to be re-thought, facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile/ubiquitous systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks * Sensor networks * Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration * Location-based computing and data analysis * Intelligent sensors in networked environments * Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing, and grid-Computing for mobile applications * Distributed data mining for mobile applications * Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery * Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications, ... * Hardware security methods for mobile applications * Security methods for network computing and mobile systems * Intelligent mobile systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: To submit your paper, please visit the SRDS 2009 submission instructions: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/srds2009/submission.html IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission due: June 20, 2009 * Decision due: July 25, 2009 * Camera-ready due: August 10, 2009 * Workshop date: September 27, 2009 All accepted papers will be included in the symposium proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers 2009 International Workshop on Pervasive Multimedia Sensor Networks (PMSN 2009) http://lei.shu.deri.googlepages.com/pmsn2009 (In conjunction with EUC 2009) http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/ August 28th~31st, 2009, Vancouver, Canada Call for Papers The 2009 International Workshop on Pervasive Multimedia Sensor Networks (PMSN¡¯09) will be held in conjunction with the 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-09), August 29th-31st, 2009, Vancouver, Canada. Having the development of low-cost imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, sensitive microphones, PMSN have been proposed and drawn lots of attention from the research community. PMSN are a new and emerging type of sensor network that contains sensor nodes equipped with cameras, microphones, and other sensors producing multimedia content. These networks have the potential to enable a large class of applications ranging from assisting elderly in public spaces to border protection that benefit from the use of numerous sensor nodes that deliver multimedia content, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems. PMSNs require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. Comparing with traditional wireless sensor networks, a lot of new challenges are faced by PMSNs, e.g., energy efficient multimedia processing and communication, heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for presenting, exchanging and discussing the most recent advances in different aspects of pervasive multimedia sensor networks and applications. In particular, this workshop will bring together leading researchers, industry professionals, and research students to study the special problems and challenges of multimedia mobile and wireless environments. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): ¡¤New PMSN architectures, deployments, and applications ¡¤New middleware, system, and underlying infrastructure for PMSN ¡¤Integrating PMSN with all IP Networks ¡¤Semantic annotation for multimedia streams in PMSN ¡¤Multimedia stream processing and management for PMSN ¡¤Protocols for supporting real-time and reliable multimedia streaming in PMSN ¡¤Energy-efficient multimedia gathering and transmission in PMSN ¡¤Cross-layer design and optimization for effective communications in PMSN ¡¤Context aware approaches for facilitating multimedia streaming in PMSN ¡¤Secure multimedia streaming and transmission, QoS and admission control in PMSN ¡¤Cooperative transmission for multimedia delivery in PMSN ¡¤Experimental and test bed studies, simulation tools for PMSN ¡¤Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in PMSN ¡¤Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for PMSN ¡¤Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for PMSN ¡¤Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in PMSN ¡¤PMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis ¡¤Delay-tolerant networking for PMSN ¡¤Physical layer technologies for efficient PMSN Publication of Proceedings PMSN 2009 accepted and registered paper will be published (indexed by EI) in the EUC 2009 proceedings and available through IEEE Xplore digital library.
