WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain novel ubiquitous services with challenging dependa- bility requirements in highly heterogeneous and error-prone mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for sup- porting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the challenging adapta- bility and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise con- ceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost- effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last year event, this workshop aims at fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions in order to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependable and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infrastructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiqui- tous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adapta- tion to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services.

Best regards ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine Feature Topic on Enterprise Mobility Services Enterprise market constitutes a very large share of the ICT sector. Normal market segmentation differentiates between big corporations for which tailored solutions can be offered and SMEs, businesses and professionals, for which generic solutions are designed, taking into account the so called long tail effect. In the ICT era of the 21st century, mobile services have a promising outlook. Companies are no longer static, premises based. On the contrary they have full mobility needs, with global customers that can be based worldwide, a growing number of remote offices that need to be interconnected, teleworkers that work from home, employees that are always travelling, longer times out of office, etc. On the other hand mobile technologies have evolved significantly over the last years improving the performance offered to users: mobile broadband thanks to 3.5G and beyond with growing coverage for several Mbps bandwidth; more powerful mobile handsets that support more complex applications and offer better user interfaces including larger screens and new features like embedded GPS, NFC,&; a massive penetration of mobile data telephony specially in the enterprise; smaller and lighter laptops at decreasing prices; maturity of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for telco grade IP communications, etc. Given this starting point where workers have permanent access to email in the mobile, and full remote desktop connectivity with laptops and VPNs in this special issue we will go beyond with current research activities related to future enterprise mobility with a total focus on services and applications. Among the different existing vertical enterprise markets special attention will be given to wireless eHealth applications. Original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue in any of, but not limited to, the following or related topic areas: ? Mobile convergent communications (IMS Corporate services) ? Wireless eHealth ? Networked applications ? Telework and mobile desktop ? Mobile enterprise 2.5: collaboration, semantics,& ? Mobile grids Manuscript submission Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the magazine format described at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used. Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, 6 tables/figures, or 15 references. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to cfp_ieeewircommmag_entmobserv(a)tid.es Schedule Manuscript submission due: June 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: November 1, 2008 Final manuscript due: December 1, 2009 Publication: April 2009 Guest Editors Antonio Sánchez-Esguevillas Telefónica, Spain Belén Carro-Martínez University of Valladolid, Spain Bhumip Khasnabish Verizon Laboratories, USA Ajay Gupta Hewlett-Packard Labs, India _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/cfp/SCN-SIcfp.html Background ========== With the rapid progress in information technology and an enormous amount of media appearing over Internet, e.g. text, audio, speech, music, image and video, guaranteeing information security is becoming increasingly important. Several pivotal challenges include copyright protection, integrity verification, authentication, and access control etc. As a consequence, the subject of security protection in multimedia communication has attracted intensive research activities in academia, industry and also government. Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication. The issue focuses on secure transmission or distribution of multimedia content. Topics ======== Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · Copyright techniques · Digital rights management for multimedia · Secure multimedia transcoding in communication · Secure media streaming · Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network · Broadcast encryption and authentication · Security in multimedia message sending · Security in mobile TV · Security in IPTV · Attacks and prevention in multimedia communication · Secure multimedia broadcasting over wireless networks · Secure multimedia broadcasting over IEEE 802.x families · Secure multimedia over multi-hop networks, e.g. Ad hoc network, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks · Hardware Implementations of secure multimedia techniques · Low-power Architectures for portable appliances Submission Procedures ===================== Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal.
