[Tccc] Elsevier International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection Special Issue on Secure Self-Organised Networking for Extreme Emergency Services
by ntan＠teimes.gr 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ------------------ International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier Publication) Special Issue: Secure Self-Organised Networking Infrastructures for Extreme Emergency Services Debates about emergency services usually diverge into discussions about most prominent catastrophes (e.g. earthquakes, flooding) and terrorist attacks. Such events tend to create a crisis and panic on the society. In such events, self-organized networking infrastructure (i.e. ad-hoc, wireless mesh) can be deployed in a secure and reliable manner in case of infrastructure network collapse so that an appropriate crisis handling management can be applied. This strategy coordinates all the available resources in terms of public services (i.e. police, authorities, hospital, fire-brigade etc) so that this crisis is resolved smoothly. While these extreme events surely represent some of the most demanding scenarios for emergency services, in order to fulfill the requirements of modern societies, research and development in the area of emergency services need to address a much broader scope. The handling of extreme emergency applications will often involve the establishment of self-organised networking environment in order to provide applications and services among the rescue workers. ------------------ Topics ------------------ The aim of this special issue is to seek original and unpublished research papers in the following areas: - Self-Organised Network architectures (e.g. ad-hoc, mesh, PAN etc) for extreme emergency applications and services - Modeling and Simulation of Self-Organised Critical Infrastructures - Security protocols, solutions and tools for extreme emergency network architectures - Attacks and countermeasures for self-organised networks - Complex application scenarios - Service Continuity and Resiliency - Secure Multimedia Communications in Extreme Emergencies - P2P Overlay and Coordination Support - Standards and Initiatives for Emergency Networks and Applications (e.g. IEEE, IETF, etc) ------------------ Submission Instruction ------------------ Authors should follow the Elsevier International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection manuscript format instructions as described at the journal’s site http://ees.elsevier.com/ijcip/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript in pdf format through the Elsevier portal http://ees.elsevier.com/ijcip/ by uploading their paper at the special issue track. ------------------ Schedule ------------------ Paper Submission Deadline: 30th of August 2009 Notification: 30th of January 2010 Publication Date: June 2010 ------------------ Guest Editors ------------------ Ass.

[Mycolleagues] S-CUBE 2009 Call For Papers
by Matteo Cesana 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Our apologies in case of multiple receptions. ****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** Call for papers S-CUBE 2009 The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software September 7-9, 2009 - Pisa, Italy http://www.s-cubeconference.org/index.shtml ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, and traffic monitoring. The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require novel programming paradigms and technologies. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence, WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and routing, and transport layer protocols. The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions. The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology. ****** TOPICS ****** Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.

MobiCom 2009 will be held in September in Beijing. The MobiCom conference series serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom09 will also include a set of workshops and tutorials, panels, research demos and exhibits, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2009/. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems and applications * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity * Wireless and mobile techniques for delay-tolerant, mobile ad hoc, and wireless sensor networks * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, personal area networks) * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Techniques for dynamic spectrum use * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless networks and their integration in the Internet * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols, and systems * Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related systems and protocols MobiCom09 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Wireless and mobile networks are being used in a wide variety of application contexts, such as sensor networks, pervasive computing, disruption tolerant networking, and vehicular networks. Papers that describe research and experimentation in such environments are encouraged, but the focus of such papers should be on addressing challenges associated with mobility and wireless networking. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches) with 1-inch margins. Detailed instructions on the paper submission procedure and format will be available on the conference web pages. The deadline for registering the title and the abstract of the paper with our electronic submission system is March 5, 2009 and the deadline for submitting the actual paper is March 12, 2009. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom09_pcchairs(a)acm.org. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Please distribute to your colleagues, apologies for multiple copies] Workshop on during IEEE ICME 2009 Multimedia Aspects in Pervasive Healthcare July 3, 2009 Hilton Cancun, Cancun, Mexico in conjunction with 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) Workshop webpage: http://multimedia.utdallas.edu/mmph09/index.html) ----------------- Workshop Scope: --------------- Human health and performance are broad terms that describe the quality of life but are difficult to quantify. Human health can be broadly identified by two components: physical health and mental health. While there is no "official" definition for mental health (considering cultural differences and subjective assessments), physical health is typically attributed to health of various body organs including muscles, bones, and joints. Human performance can be considered as "focused behavior" or "purposeful work" and hence performance is typically domain specific such as sports performance, or performance of a physically challenged person. Recent advances in various technologies for medical sensors, computing, and wireless communication have resulted in monitoring, tracking, and quantifying the physical health. Providing ubiquitous health care and performance monitoring have thus become feasible, affordable, and in many cases indispensable. The proposed workshop will be multi-disciplinary, focusing on innovations in information processing and system aspects of health care and performance. The topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to: * Information processing aspects of human health and performance - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Programming models and languages * Body sensor networks: Systems and Technology - Novel communication techniques and protocols - In-vivo, on-body, near-body networks - Location, time, and other network services - Network health monitoring and management - Performance modeling * System design issues of Medical Digital Devices - Operating systems and runtime environments - Power - Reliability and fault-tolerance * Assistive Technologies for aged and disabled - Longitudinal studies showing impact on health care and performance * Security and privacy, including HIPAA for medical applications * HCI/Wearable Computing for Medical Applications - Social impacts - Usability - Brain Computer Interactions - Wearable system design issues - Entertainment * Medical Applications - Pervasive health care and patient monitoring within hospitals and other healthcare delivery settings in residential and other non healthcare delivery settings - Prosthetics and other novel medical applications We will have a special issue based on this workshop in a leading journal.
