[Tccc] [CAMPUS08] 2nd Call for papers
by Hassine Moungla 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International DisCoTec Workshop on Context-aware Adaptation Mechanisms for Pervasive and Ubiquitous Services Tuesday 3rd June 2008 Oslo, Norway http://discotec08.ifi.uio.no/Campus08 Overview. There is a huge market potential for mobile applications in Europe today. Most people already carry a mobile device of some sort wherever they go, and an increasingly diverse set of devices (PDAs, smart phones, GPS, etc.) are becoming widely available. Recently, service- orientations (e.g., OSGi) have evolved to address these highly dynamic environments. However, it is still technically difficult, using existing method and tool supports, to create such services-oriented applications. For example, the very large range of devices, types of infrastructure, ways in which it can change, situations in which users can find themselves, and the functions they want, introduce great complexity and pose considerable technical challenges. To overcome these difficulties, and promote the development and widespread deployment of innovative mobile applications, more and more projects are addressing the development of context-aware adaptation mechanisms for leveraging the development of mobile applications. These projects aims at providing simple but powerful integrated approaches to support the development of applications interacting in pervasive and ubiquitous environments. Thus, the CAMPUS workshop will focus on the promising approaches in the domain of context-aware adaptation mechanisms supporting the dynamic evolution of the execution context (e.g., network/device/service failures). Research Topics The workshop will address an extensive set of topics related to adaptation mechanisms for context-aware services. The following contributions will be particularly welcome:- Context-awareness mechanisms for distributed systems: - How to capture the relevant contextual properties of a distributed system? - How to support the distribution of the context information in an efficient manner? - How to enforce the security and privacy issues for context data? - How to describe ontologies for context management? - How to map context-awareness to situation-awareness using context reasoning? - Adaptation mechanisms for distributed systems: - How to represent the adaptation knowledge of a distributed system? - How to reason about pieces of software that need to be adapted in a distributed manner? - How to reconfigure a distributed system with respect to the dynamic nature of the environment? - How to deal with anticipated versus unanticipated adaptation? - How to integrate human/computer interaction issues in adaptive systems? - How to ensure robustness and transactional adaptations? - Innovative applications of context-awareness and adaptation mechanisms: - Experiences in developing context-aware and adaptive applications and services, - Testing and validation of adaptive applications and services, - Development methodology for adaptive applications and services, - Tool support for context-aware adaptation mechanisms and adaptive services, - Design of platforms and infrastructures supporting context-aware adaptation mechanisms, - New domains of applications for context-aware and adaptive applications and services. Important dates Paper Submission: March 20, 2008 Paper Notification: May 01, 2008 Camera Ready: May 15, 2008 Workshop: June 03, 2008 Workshop Format The workshop will be organised as a one-day event, consisting of a series of sessions, each devoted to the presentation of papers belonging to a common domain. Each session will end with a mini-panel between the presenters, led by the session chair or a pre-selected devilâEUR^(TM)s advocate. This format has been found to lead to lively and productive discussions. The workshop will include a special session for the presentation of posters and demos of ongoing research efforts and software prototypes. The workshop will conclude with a panel, moderated by one of the organizers, to discuss open issues and future trends in the field, with the aim of wrapping up the overall contributions of the event. Submission & Publication Selection of workshop participants will be based on the submission of a paper, poster or demo. Moreover, other participants may be invited by the organizing committee. Thus, the CAMPUS program committee seeks: - Technical papers, describing concrete results achieved, in no more than 12 pages (EASST style), - Position papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages (EASST style). Papers will be peer-reviewed, and selected based on their originality, technical strenght and topical relevance. All workshop papers will be published in a special issue of Electronic Communications of the EASST. Paper submission must be electronically as postscript or PDF (via the Submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=campus08).

CFP UNA'08
by Lars Wolf 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA 08) Lakeshore Hotel, Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 4-6, 2008 http://una.cs.ucc.ie held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008 Urban settings are host of diverse networking technologies, from cellular and wired broadband to WiMAX, WiFi, Bluetooth and, more recently, mesh and sensor networks. While this rich environment offers opportunities for connectivity, inter-operability and sharing of services and resources, the co-existence of these heterogeneous technologies, competing for the same resources and offering similar services, poses difficult engineering and legal problems. For example, network planning is a major issue that can determine the effective use of each network and, when possible, inter-operability of the networks. Cities administrations are keen to deploy and take advantage of public service networks, whereas citizens are interested to use public or private services at home, at work or while driving or walking. Private initiatives may selectively focus on certain niche services. Overall, urban networks can increase the quality of life in cities and can make the distinction among cities. In achieving this goal, many technical challenges have to be tackled. This workshop will be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, service models and novel applications for urban networks. The topics for submission include but are not limited to: cognitive radio technologies congestion control micro- and pico-cell control architecture hybrid cell configuration sensor networks in urban settings personal area networks vehicular networks mesh networks mobile ad hoc networks networks planning networks inter-operability data mining of a large volume of data in urban networks database support for urban networks network and service discovery mobility supporting services context awareness mobile middleware ubiquitous and urban computing urban network systems and applications locative media and applications access, security and privacy in urban networks Submissions Both research and industry papers are solicited. Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers reporting work in progress are welcome. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the workshop chair. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ACSAC 2008, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers are limited to 8 pages including figures and references and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through https://www.softconf.com/starts/UNA2008 The publication of a paper requires at least one of the authors to register and be present at the conference. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected.
