Re: [GAMESNETWORK] Fwd: Call for Papers - 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming
by Holger Mügge 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

For those of you who do not speak/write german: We also appreciate english contributions (papers, demos, presentations). Deadline: April, 26th, 2009 I append the full english CFP here, too. Thanks, Holger ENGLISH CFP FOLLOWS: 39. Annual Meeting of the „Gesellschaft für Informatik“ (GI) – Lübeck, Germany, 2009 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Motivation Mobile games are based on the physical movements of players in a game- world that combines the real world with virtual dimensions. Mobile games unite two game-worlds that were previously mutually exclusive: classic outdoor games and computer games. But they are also games in the traditional sense as “homo sapiens” has always been a “homo ludens”. Games are part of the every day life, just like eating, breathing, or sleeping. They allow us to try the impossible. We use game rules to voluntarily confine the game space, and then roam this space to imaginatively overcome the limits of reality. But apart from being a pastime, games also mirror the real world and so they can be used to play-test life. Over the centuries, games evolved with the intellectual and technical possibilities of mankind. The prehistory of mobile games began in the 1980s with Nintendo’s handheld “Game & Watch” electronic games. The early 1990s saw the advent of the “Gameboy”, which introduced exchangeable cartridges to the video games mass market. At the turn of the millennium, the Japanese I-Mode network pioneered mobile data services and thus opened the door for mobile games that used the wireless Internet for communication. On 1 May 2000, the US government announced the discontinuation of the artificial degradation of GPS signals for non- military users. This marks the end of the prehistory and the dawning of mobile games in our sense. The first such mobile game was Geocaching, where participants use GPS coordinates that they obtained over the Internet to search for small treasures that were hidden by other players. In 2003, Nokia introduced the N-Gage, which was a GPRS-enabled smart-phone with an integrated game-console. Due to its GPRS data-service, it allowed for wide-area multiplayer games that were connected via a central server. At the same time, it also allowed proximity based multiplayer games via Bluetooth communication. Research project began to sprout world-wide in conjunction with all these technological developments. These projects set out to exploit the new possibilities and developed context-aware and location-based applications that used the new wireless positioning and communication technologies in various ways and thus advanced the field in which mobile games are grounded. Mobile games utilise mobile and pervasive technology. Small and portable devices are equipped with sensors and models of their environments that allow them to sense their current context, which includes location, and act according to this input. Thus, from a technological point of view, mobile games are part of the field of ubiquitous computing. Goals and research questions Mobile games open up a wide range of research and developments questions from a multitude of perspectives, including the conceptual, the aesthetic and the technical. They require research into new types of games and experiences, their concepts and design strategies, as well as into the technical domain. Researchers around the world utilise the human intellect of mobile gamers to test prototypes of new interfaces for human-computer interaction, infrastructures, and design concepts in order to advance the new technologies. Games define their own rules – this opens up a truly unique field for research into ideas and technologies. The context of mobile games also provides opportunities for research into the individual and social processes that circumvent the use of information technology. Game design faces new challenges. Until now, only a few games exploited the possibilities offered by augmented and mixed reality, global networks, location services and various sensors. Theory and methods of analysis of the player experience in mobile games are still in its infancy. What is the meaning of mobility and physical movement in these mixed reality game-worlds? How to analyse the experience of mobile players that are roaming the area rather than sitting in a laboratory? What is the role of game communities and cultures for mobile games? Design and development of mobile games confronts us with the grand challenges of ubiquitous computing: the complexity of mobile, distributed services, its dynamic and ever changing contexts, the diversity of participants, and the interaction in a post-desktop paradigm which entails the body, various senses and modalities. The technological diversity of hardware and software needs to be bridged so that mobile gamers can interact across device boundaries. The rapidly evolving diversity of sensors, actuators and user-interfaces demands for flexible frameworks that allow for an easy integration. This workshop contributes to revealing the research and development possibilities offered by mobile games, and has a particular focus on the German science and industry sectors. Researchers and developers can use this field to exchange their experiences, formulate new research questions, identify innovation potential, and find ways to improve the business environment and leverage the potentials offered by this exciting new field of research. Addressees This workshop is primarily targeted at users, developers, researchers and decision makers in the field of mobile games, who are interested in creative and innovative applications for pervasive and ubiquitous computing. In addition to this, the workshops also seeks to address people beyond the field of computer science, who are fascinated and inspired by the technical possibilities offered by mobile games and want to give growth to their own ideas. Topics Contributions to the workshop can be either technical papers or position statements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mobile games in the everyday life Context of mobile games Mobile game experiences and activities Mobile gamer as producer Alternate reality games Traditional games and mobile games Serious games – learning, testing, creating value in a serious context Interfaces and interaction techniques for mobile games Augmented and mixed reality for mobile games Development processes and architectures for mobile games Authoring systems for mobile games Complexity of hard- and software – problems and solutions Exploiting technical boundaries Dates Submission deadline: 26.04.2009 Notification of acceptance: 25.05.2009 Final submission: 01.07.2009 Organisers Pascal Bihler, Universität Bonn Barbara Grüter, Hochschule Bremen Holger Mügge, Universität Bonn Leif Oppermann, Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham Program committee Linda Breitlauch, MediaDesign Hochschule Düsseldorf Gregor Broll, LMU München Wolfgang Broll, Fraunhofer FIT, St. Augustin Armin B.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009)
by Chia Ching Ooi 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn09/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2009 Marina Del Rey, California, June 2009 =================================================== Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for interfacing the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraints of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures for wireless sensor networks necessitate an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy expenditure. WEWSN intends to bring together the researchers working on various topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located with several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking, thus providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Conference on Sensor Networks Applications, Experimentation and Logistics www.sensappeal.org *September 24-25, 2009, Athens, Greece* Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are envisioned to enable a variety of applications including environmental monitoring, building and plant automation, homeland security and healthcare. It has been argued that one of the key characteristics of sensor networks is that they are so tightly coupled with the applications running on top of them. Although WSNs have been an active area of research for over a decade, real world sensor network deployments have not yet found their way to widespread adoption. The experience gained and lessons learned during the initial attempts to deploy WSNs and implement various sensor network applications are very valuable for the advancement of this technology. The 1st ICST International Conference on Sensor Networks Applications, Experimentation and Logistics (SENSAPPEAL 2009) aims at bringing together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present their work and share their experiences with developing, deploying and testing WSN applications. Moreover key enablers to WSN application development (such as OS, middleware, in-field reprogramming, testbeds and simulators, etc.) fall within the scope of the conference. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 20 camera-ready pages in the Springer "Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST)" format. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations of pilot, experimental or real-life deployments, testbeds, simulators and applications of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Sensor network applications: * Environmental Monitoring * - wildfire detection and tracking * - landslide prediction * - pollution monitoring * - habitat monitoring * - seismic monitoring * Physical security and surveillance * Health care and assisted living * Building and plant automation * Disaster area or area of operations information gathering * Other novel applications Application enablers: * APIs, programming paradigms and in-field reprogramming techniques (OS, middleware, mobile agents, sensor DBs, in network processing) * Testbeds and simulators * Cognitive and autonomous operation of sensor networks * Localization and tracking * Efficient networking protocols * Network and data security * Sensing devices Important Dates: Paper Registration (title and abstract only): March 11th,2009 (EXTENDED) Paper Submission Deadline: March 27th, 2009 (EXTENDED) Notification of Acceptance: May 31st, 2009 Author Registration Deadline: July 15th, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due: July 20th, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
