[Mycolleagues] The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2009) - In conjunction with ICDCS'09
by Ammari, Habib M 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

****************************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate it to your colleagues that could be interested. ****************************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS SAHNS 2009 The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/ In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer), Special Issue on Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems
by Yu Cao 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers ************************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer) Special Issue on Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems Manuscript due: December 15, 2008 http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems/journal/11042 (the second one in the listing) http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP_11042… In the last decade, substantial progress has been made in content-based analysis and multimedia streaming to facilitate the development of large-scale multimedia information systems. Together with the recent progress on semantic web, it is now possible to build a new generation of multimedia applications that enable large-scale semantic representation, analysis, and delivery of multimedia data from heterogeneous data sources. However, there is still a long way to go for mature solutions of multimedia database systems that are capable of processing semantics-rich, large-volume multimedia data. It could be even more challenging if such systems are under stringent functional and non-functional (e.g., QoS) requirements. The goal of this special issue is to bring the semantic web community and multimedia processing & computing community together and provide a forum for multidisciplinary research opportunities, with a focus on how to apply the semantic technologies to the acquisition, generation, transmission, storage, processing, and retrieval of multimedia information. Discussions on future challenges in multimedia information manipulation, as well as practical solutions for the design and implementation of multimedia database software systems are also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that span both semantic technologies and multimedia processing & computing: . Automatic generation of multimedia presentations . Semantic multimedia metadata extraction . Annotation tools and methods for multimedia semantics . Media ontology generation/learning/reasoning . Content-based multimedia analysis . Multimedia indexing, searching, and retrieving . Multimedia streaming . Semantic-based QoS control and scheduling . Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery . Multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-7 and XMP) and Semantic Web . Semantics enabled multimedia applications (including annotation, browsing, storage, retrieval, and visualization) . Semantics enabled networking and middleware for multimedia applications Submission Details Papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. Prospective contributors are invited to submit papers in A4/US letter, single column, double space format, up to 30 pages long including figures, tables and references. Manuscript submission is handled by the MTAP Online Manuscript Submission website at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/mtap/. During submission, you should select your article type as "SI:Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems". Detailed information about the Journal, including an author guide and detailed formatting information is available at: http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems/journal/11042.
