ACM SenSys 2008: Call for Papers
The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
November 5-7, 2008
Raleigh, NC, USA
http://sensys.acm.org/2008/
============================================================================
The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a
highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results
on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed
systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation
capabilities enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an
unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring
and control applications. This conference provides an ideal venue to address
the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental
limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many
fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and
hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we
welcome cross-disciplinary work.
We particularly encourage papers that extend the scope of the conference
beyond wireless mote-class sensor networks and we seek contributions from a
broad range of sensing-related fields, such as actuator networks, RFID
applications, mobile ad-hoc networks, camera networks, and others. We seek
technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Sensor network architecture and protocols
* Rich sensor systems leveraging RFID, mobile devices (e.g., cell phones),
cameras, robotics, etc.
* Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits
* Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment
* Deployment experience and testbeds
* Experimental methods, including measurement, simulation, and emulation
infrastructure
* Programming methodology
* Operating systems
* Sensor network algorithms such as localization, routing, time
synchronization, clustering, topology control, and coverage control algorithms
* Failure resilience and fault isolation
* Energy management
* Data, information, and signal processing
* Data storage and management
* Distributed actuation and control
* Applications
* Security and privacy
* Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems,
process control, and enterprise software
Program Co-Chairs: Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University; Adam Wolisz, TU
Berlin
Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and SIGBED; with support from NSF.
Important dates:
* Paper Registration and Abstract: April 7, 2008, 5pm US Eastern Time
* Paper Submission Deadline: April 14, 2008, 5pm US Eastern Time
* Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 18, 2008
* Camera Ready Paper Copy: August 25, 2008
All deadlines are firm; we will not honor extensions. Papers must be
original, unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere. All submissions
will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format, fitting length and
formatting guidelines as directed on the submission webpage. All submitted
papers will be peer-reviewed. The review process is double-blind and hence,
all submissions must be anonymized. Selected papers of particular merit will
be proposed for publication in the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. For
submission details, see the conference web site.
Demos: Demonstrations showing innovative research and applications are
solicited. SenSys is very interested in demonstrations of technology,
platforms, and applications of sensor systems. Abstracts of accepted demos

********************************************************************
2nd Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction (MAI'2008)
MAI'2008, June 3, Oslo, Norway
http://mai08.di.fc.ul.pt
Co-located With DisCoTec federated conferences 2008
http://discotec08.ifi.uio.no/
********************************************************************
*Overview*
The basic interaction between middleware and application uses
simple mechanisms such as method invocations or message passing.
These basic interactions are not sufficient for complex tasks.
There is a rising demand for middleware support for multiple
cross-cutting features such as security, fault tolerance, and
distributed resource management. In adaptive systems, the middleware
has to exert control on applications, and vice versa. Middleware
systems need the right access to applications running on top;
applications need the right way for influencing middleware
behaviour. Unlike the basic interaction mechanisms, such complex
features are currently addressed by a highly heterogeneous set of
methods such as aspect-oriented programming, reflection, code
annotations, and policies.
*Goals and Contributions*
MAI'2008 aims at providing researchers with a forum for discussing
the state of the art of approaches to middleware-application
interaction and for identifying challenging open problems.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together active researchers
in the different fields that relate to the workshop topic. Our
ambition is to foster discussions between participants with different
background and experience, and to provide the participants with a
broader view of the problems and established approaches.
We believe that the workshop will yield new ideas for future system
research in the area of middleware platforms, and will nourish the
exchange of ideas and strengthen the cooperation between interested
scientists.
*Workshop Format*
The workshop will be organised as a series of sessions, each session
being devoted to the presentation of papers of a common domain. At
the end of each session, we will have a mini-panel with the presenters
on the session theme, led by the session chair, in order to foster
discussions.
The workshop will conclude with a general discussion of open issues
and future trends in the field, summarising the overall contributions
of the workshop.
*Topics of Interest*
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but not limit to the
following:
-Composition of complex middleware features
-Unanticipated middleware integration of applications
-Interaction MW/App, MW/MW, App/App
-Variability of the application-middleware-interconnect
-Middleware reconfigurability and adaptivity
-AOP for the implementation of middleware systems
-AOP for middleware-based application
-Dynamic AOP
-Composition of independent aspects
-Developer annotations for complex middleware features
-Reflective middleware
-Model-driven middleware and application design
-Support for product lines in middleware
-Software engineering for middleware-based applications
*Important Dates*
Paper and abstract submission 20 March 2008
Acceptance notification 1 May 2008
Camera-ready papers due 15 May 2008
Workshop 3 June 2008
*Submission Guidelines*
Manuscripts must be submitted as printable PDF documents and should
not exceed 3000 words. Formatting according to the final manuscript
style (ACM standard) is recommended. Electronic submission will be
available starting in January on the workshop website.
The camera-ready version of manuscripts must be formatted according
to the ACM standard style (2-column), and must not exceed 6 pages.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register at the
conference and present the paper at the workshop.

Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile
Computing Journal on Context Modelling,
Reasoning and Management
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Context-awareness plays an important role in pervasive and mobile computing and
therefore context information modelling, reasoning and management have been
studied for a number of years. Pervasive computing conferences and in
particular dedicated workshops (i.e., the CoMoRea?2003-2008 workshops at PerCom
and the Ubicomp workshops) are attracting a large number of papers
related to context modelling, reasoning and management and influence the
direction of research in this area.
There is already a consensus in the research community that formal
modelling of context information and appropriate reasoning and management
techniques are needed. However, many research issues in this field are still
open, including heterogeneity of context information, imperfection of context
information, complex mapping between raw context data (e.g., sensor readings)
and abstract context information required by applications, privacy of context
information, limitations and efficiency of reasoning techniques, and
difficulties of managing and provisioning context information in systems where
mobility and disconnections are common.
The purpose of this special issue is to present the state-of-the-art in context
information modelling, reasoning and management. The special issue will include
a collection of papers that discuss concepts, theories and methods applicable
to context modelling and reasoning, as well as system-oriented issues related
to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Prospective authors
are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research. Topics of
interests include, but are not limited to:
* Context information modelling techniques,
* Domain-specific models of context information,
* Hybrid models of context information (integration of various modelling
techniques),
* Context information reasoning algorithms, their complexity and
accuracy,
* Discovery and reuse of context information,
* Privacy of context information,
* Distributed and scalable context information management,
* Context model driven application design.
Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5
spaced and must not exceed 35 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper has been
published in a conference, the submitted version should be a significantly
enhanced version. Authors are requested to submit their published conference
articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal
version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC
Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>).
The deadline for submitting manuscripts is February 1, 2008 and authors will be
notified of the decision by June 15, 2008. The final manuscripts will be due
Dec 1, 2008.
Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues
Editor-in-Chief, Behrooz Shirazi, using the Elsevier online Editorial System
(EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc.

Mensch & Computer 2008
7.-10. September 2008 in Lübeck
Call for Papers - Aufruf zur Mitgestaltung
Veranstalter:
Gesellschaft für Informatik
German Chapter of the ACM
Konferenzthemen:
Ein besonderes Kennzeichen dieser Tagung soll die Interdisziplinarität in der benutzerzentrierten Entwicklung interaktiver Systeme und Medien sein, die eine Zusammenarbeit unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen wie Informatik, Psychologie, Arbeitswissenschaft, Designdisziplinen und Kunst sowie Ingenieurwissenschaften erforderlich macht. Wirkliche Interdisziplinarität ist "Viel Mehr" als die Summe ihrer Teile.
Die Tagung setzt sich mit diesem Motto auseinander und hat u.a. die
folgenden thematischen Schwerpunkte:
Software-Ergonomie: Theorien, Modelle und kriterienbasierte Analytik für die Entwicklung, Bewertung und Optimierung interaktiver Anwendungssysteme; hierbei wird die ursprüngliche Beschränkung auf den Arbeitskontext aufgelöst und die Betrachtung auch auf Anwendungskontexte in Bildung und Freizeit ausgeweitet.
Interaktionsdesign: Konzeption und Gestaltung interaktiver Systeme in allen Anwendungskontexten; neben der Gestaltung klassischer Anwendungen vor allem die Entwicklung und Erprobung neuerer Paradigmen wie Web 2.0 und Semantic Web; eingebettete und ambiente Systeme; Virtuelle, Gemischte und Erweiterte Realitäten sowie Tangible Media; Avatare und 3D-Welten sowie Virtuelle Personen und Roboter; Computer und Körperlichkeit; emotionale und erlebnisreiche Systeme.
Usability-Engineering: Prozesse, Methoden und Werkzeuge für die systematische und ökonomische aufgaben- und benutzerzentrierte Systemgestaltung; neue und verbesserte Formen der Evaluation und Benutzerbeteiligung; interdisziplinäre und verteilte Entwicklung; Kosten und Return of Investment (ROI) gebrauchstauglicher Systeme.
Anwendungen & Fallbeispiele: innovative Anwendungssysteme auf Grundlage der genannten Methoden, Techniken und Prozesse; gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und Ethik der interaktiven und vernetzten Systeme; neue Formen der flexiblen und zeitgemäßen Lebensgestaltung mit Hilfe interaktiver und vernetzter Systeme; sicherheitskritische Mensch-Computer-Systeme; kooperative Systeme und Kooperationsplattformen; multiple Identitäten und Schutz der Privatsphäre.
Die Tagung soll im Besonderen auch das neue Gebiet der Medieninformatik als Schnittstellendisziplin zwischen interaktiven Systemen und Medien und den damit verbundenen Disziplinen diskutieren. Innerhalb der GI wurde dazu kürzlich im Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (FB MCI) die Fachgruppe Medieninformatik (FG MI) gegründet, die das Thema aufgegriffen hat. Die Mitglieder der Fachgruppe beabsichtigen sich im Rahmen von Special Sessions zu treffen. Reguläre Tagungsbeiträge für diesen Bereich, Vorschläge zu besonderen Veranstaltungen sowie Informationssammlungen (z.B. zu Lehrcurriculum, Forschungsallianzen, Literaturübersichten) sind besonders erwünscht.
