by Mirco Musolesi 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Human Behaviour in Ubiquitous Environments Ubiquitous computing advocates interaction through calm technology whereby users sense and control what directly interests them, while retaining tangential awareness of other informational opportunities that they can at any time choose to focus on. This requires seamless access to media, information sharing and communication through heterogeneous systems, which are distributed and may be deeply embedded in the physical environment. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to deepen our understanding of human behaviour in context and its impact on technological issues relevant to ubiquitous environments. Research in this area is rapidly gaining importance and has become an essential part of pervasive and mobile computing systems. This special issue solicits original papers that contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and its impact on the design, development and use of applications in mobile and ubiquitous settings. Submissions can focus on theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to: * Data capture and knowledge discovery for user modelling in ubiquitous environments * Machine learning techniques applied to socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Experience design in socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Human-computer interaction issues in ubiquitous environments * Detecting and using patterns of human behaviour in ubiquitous computing * Modelling and recognition of user activity, mobility and context * Social computing applications in human-centred ubiquitous environments * Pervasive user-generated content: applications, systems and practices * Applications in mobile and ubiquitous environments for learning, business, social computing, travelling, arts, entertainment, gaming, healthcare and virtual worlds. Submissions should be of high standard for an international, archival research journal, and will be reviewed according to the strict standards of the PMC journal. Papers should not have been submitted or published elsewhere but could be extended or refined versions of conference papers with significant new, original material. Extended versions or refined versions of conference papers are expected to differ from the conference version by at least 30% across all sections - authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>). The deadline for submitting manuscripts is March 23, 2009 and authors will be notified of the decision by June 1, 2009. The final manuscripts will be due October 1, 2009. Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues (under the "Human Behaviour" topic), using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks ? Datum: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:55:42 +1100 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <https://owa.latrobe.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.inderscienc…> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5. Cross-layer design in WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication * Cooperative communication for multimedia delivery * Effective cross-layer communication protocols * Joint optimization for WMSN design 6.

Extend submission deadline of EVICS 2009
by Lars Wolf 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

The submission deadline of the EVICS 2009 has been extended to 2 March 2009. The workshop is intended to build a platform to discuss open issues related to IVC based improvements of the environmental impact of traveling vehicles. Furthermore, social networking aspects represent the second main topic of the workshop (we believe that both are well connected). EVICS is part of IEEE WoWMoM and, thus, IEEE sponsored. ------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) !!! Extended Submission Deadline: 03/02/2009 !!! http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from spa! rse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>). Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline (extended): March 2, 2009 Paper Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2009 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 10, 2009 Workshop Organizing Committee ----------------------------- * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany, dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de * Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi * Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA, ekici(a)ece.osu.edu

Call for Papers: MobiArch 2009 (co-located with ACM MobiSys) -- extended deadline
by Joerg Ott 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) ----------------------------------------------------- Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Krakow, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design * Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues * Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design * Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 6 March 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Joerg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia For more information, contact workshop co-chairs at mobiarch-chairs(a)informatik.uni-goettingen.de. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Protocol design, implementation, testing and analysis. * Measurement studies of protocol performance. * Protocols for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. * Protocols for peer-to-peer networks. * Protocols for specific functions such as routing, flow/congestion control, network management. * Protocols for security, survivability and fault-tolerance. Papers must be directly relevant to protocols. Papers on general networking where protocols are only a secondary focus will be considered only if they are of exceptionally high quality. Papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, the authors' names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. Bibliographic references should protect the authors' anonymity. Papers should adhere to the IEEE format and should not be more than 10 pages. The font size should not be smaller than 10pt. Further instructions will be posted on the ICNP website (http://www.ieee-icnp.org/2009). Authors of accepted papers will be expected to register for the conference and the paper must be presented at the conference in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings.
