June 17th 2008 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the user's needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. THE GOAL of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The focus of this workshop will be understanding and discussing what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. This entails cross-disciplinary approaches where the systems and networking community, traditionally able to provide effective solutions that satisfy application requirements, will need to interact with experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. AREAS of INTEREST include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments * Health technologies for developing countries DEMO SESSION: ============= To provide a forum for discussion and interaction and to share experimental experience, HealthNet will also host a demonstration session. Extended abstracts describing demos will be published in the proceedings. Details on submission are available on the web page. IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: April 7, 2008 (5PM US EDT) Notification of acceptance: May 4, 2008 Camera ready version due: May 8, 2008 Workshop date: June 17, 2008 Demo submission and notification: Late April 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:22:29 +0000 Von: Seán Murphy <sean.murphy(a)iname.com> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi CC: Raouf Boutaba <rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca>, Albert Banchs <banchs(a)it.uc3m.es> CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Multi-hop wireless networking is an area that is currently receiving much attention within both industry and academia. Over the last number of years significant energies have been focused on specific areas, notably ad hoc networking and sensor networking. More recently, multi-hop techniques are being viewed as an important component of next generation radio access networks, in which end user terminals may be multiple wireless hops from the wired infrastructure. Most of these multi-hop radio access deployments are characterized by intermediate nodes with limited mobility which differentiates these problems from those arising in an ad hoc domain. This approach provides a number of advantages over more typical single-hop wireless access solutions: firstly, it can provide increased coverage at low cost, which is very important in initial network rollout; secondly, it can support increased network capacity as the network matures; thirdly, such systems are typically much more flexible than previous variants with greater support for self-configuration and system adaptation, which leads to management and maintenance cost savings. However, realizing these benefits is highly non-trivial, requiring an excellent understanding of all aspects of a radio system. There are a number of interesting initiatives in this space. A number of standards are currently being defined – 802.11s, 802.16j to mention two. The new radio systems which will be developed under the ITU’s IMT-advanced initiative will have some multihop capabilities and there is also interest within the more traditional cellular community in relay architectures. Hence, work in this area can have a significant impact in a standardization context and it is well positioned to ultimately be adopted by the market. While considerable energy has been expended on some of these problems, many challenges remain. Contributions for this special issue are sought which focus on recent research results describing innovative solutions to problems in this domain. Topics of interest include – although are not limited to – the following: • Distributed channel management techniques • Novel MAC mechanisms for multihop contexts • Routing in 802.11 mesh networks • Use of multi-hop architectures in cellular systems (W-CDMA, CDMA2000) • Mesh and relay systems based on 802.11s and 802.16j • Mobility support in mesh and relay systems • Power control considerations for mesh and relay architectures • Network planning for relay based systems • Performance analysis of multi-hop networks • Self-configuration and management techniques • Results from trials, testbeds and real-world scenarios Submission Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the instructions laid out in the Instructions to Authors at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in proper English and submitted via the web interface at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: MultiHop Wireless Acc.NW Important dates Manuscript Due 1 May 2008 Acceptance Notification 1 September 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due 1 November 2008 Guest Editors Prof. Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada rboutaba(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Dr. Seán Murphy University College Dublin Dublin 4, Ireland sean.murphy(a)iname.com Prof. Albert Banchs University Carlos III Madrid 28911 Spain banchs(a)it.uc3m.es _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290
