[Tccc] PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management
by Jadwiga Indulska 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'08) Newport Beach, CA, USA, 23rd June, 2008 Sponsored by NOKIA ---- WoWMoM web site : http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS'08 cfp pdf : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/CFP_adamus08.pdf _______________________________________________________________ Important Dates: * Full Paper and Demo submission deadline: February 11, 2008 * Notification of acceptance: March 10, 2008 * Final camera-ready manuscripts due: March 31, 2008 ________________________________________________________________ WHAT'S NEW ---------------------------------------------------------------- - This year, ADAMUS will host a DEMO COMPETITION. The Best demo will be awarded with a special NOKIA hi-tech gift! - The BEST PAPER will be also awarded with another NOKIA gift! - ADAMUS'08 will open with a KEYNOTE TALK by Franklin Reynolds, NOKIA distinguished engineering fellow. See below for details. 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. DEMO COMPETITION, BEST PAPER, AND RELATED PRIZES ---------------------------------------------------------------- A Demo Competition (sponsored by NOKIA) will be conveniently scheduled to provide authors with the opportunity to run live demonstrations of their research and to interact directly with ADAMUS and other WoWMoM attendees that will be required to vote for the best demos (See below for demos submission guidelines). Best demos will be awarded with special Nokia gifts based on their review scores, on-site voting results, and technical program committee evaluation.

by Antonio Sánchez 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Dear colleagues, Please find attached the call for papers for a Feature Topic on "Enterprise Mobility Services" for IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine. Manuscript submission due: June 15, 2008 (http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/cfpwcm0409.htm) Our sincere apologies for cross-posting. 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
