[Fwd: ICST - MODIES 2008 Preliminary CfP - MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ICST - MODIES 2008 Preliminary CfP - MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 04:07:04 -0400 Von: info(a)icstconferences.org Antwort an: info(a)icst.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios (MODIES) At the 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 2008 Tampere, Finland, January 29th, 2008 http://www.pervasivehealth.org/ The field of medical emergencies is more dynamic and subject to context variability compared to other e-health fields. The emergency management domain is very information-intensive and mission-critical, and the involved tasks exhibit wide heterogeneity, difficulties in communicating and in physically reaching the place. The efficiency of the assistance is an aspect of vital importance, so that all involved people (healthcare workers, drivers, police, firemen, and so on) need to communicate, coordinate and access distributed resources in a simple and fast way. The employed resources (users and medical devices) must dynamically organize themselves in a temporary net, where communication links are established just in time. Therefore, the major requirements of such support systems are dynamicity and context-awareness, i.e. they have to easily self-configure and adapt to the situation variability. The above described context demands the adoption of very innovative and powerful paradigms, much more dynamic and flexible than those usually adopted for conventional distributed systems. The workshop we propose will focus on mobile and distributed approaches to face the issues of emergency scenarios, and to support involved actors in their tasks. This workshop solicits papers (from researchers and practitioners) that address key issues, open problems, models, infrastructures and innovative applications related to mobile and distributed approaches in emergency scenarios. TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP include, but are not limited to: - Mobile health care - Emergency management - Disaster response - Architectures, infrastructures and middleware for distributed and mobile health care - Applications in emergency scenarios - Monitoring in mobile contexts - Distributed medical data acquisition, integration and management - (Mobile) agents and e-health - Context-aware approaches for distributed and mobile health care IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2007 Notification to Authors: November 2nd, 2007 Camera Ready: November 16th, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION MODIES 2008 accepts submissions that describe original, research work not submitted or published elsewhere. The workshop accepts two types of submissions: Full Papers presenting significant contributions to research and practice (maximum 10 pages) and Short Papers presenting late-breaking results and ongoing work (maximum 4 pages). All submissions must follow IEEE's conference style two-column format including figures and references. Authors are requested to submit their PDF manuscripts electronically using COCUS System (http://www.cocus.info) by following the link and instructions at the workshop home page WORKSHOP CHAIR Giacomo Cabri, Francesco De Mola Email giacomo.cabri(a)unimore.it, francesco.demola(a)unimore.it PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be completed) Manfred Bortenschlager, Salzburg Research, Austria Massimiliano De Leoni, Università La Sapienza, Roma, Italy Mark Gaynor, Boston University, US Massimo Mecella, Università La Sapienza, Roma, Italy John O' Donoghue, University College Cork, Ireland Marcin Paprzycki, Warsaw School of Social Psychology, Poland Heiko Schuldt, University of Basel, Switzerland Mu Sun, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, US -------------------------------------------------- You are reading ICST conference newsletter.

This event focuses on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. The conference's goal is to provide a forum for current work in its early stages. Original papers are invited from the research and operations communities on topics including, but not limited to: * Active Network Measurements * Passive Network Measurements * Performance Metrics * Traffic Statistics * Measurement Visualization * New Measurement Approaches & Techniques * Deployment of Measurement Infrastructure * New Measurement Initiatives * Applications of Network Measurements * Network Measurements and Security * Network Troubleshooting using Measurements * Reproduce (or Refute) Previous Measurement Results PAM values contributions that are broader than experimental papers. Data and tool release are seen as first-class contributions and preference will be given in that direction. In particular, releasing measurement data allows for better science to be conducted in the field of network measurement. Therefore, an award will be given at PAM 2008 for the best paper based on a new dataset that the authors are releasing for community use in subsequent research. To qualify, a paper must significantly utilize a dataset that has been collected for the work presented in the paper. Further, the dataset must be freely available to any researcher; wireless data sets may, for instance, be published through CRAWDAD. Novel datasets are especially encouraged. The awarded paper will be chosen from the set of qualifying papers accepted for the conference by a committee made up of a subset of the program and steering committees. Conference Web Page ------------------- http://pam2008.cs.wpi.edu/ http://www.pamconf.org/ Submission Information ---------------------- To ensure PAM 2008 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting papers, submitted in the LNCS format, that do not exceed 10 pages. No additional space will be given once a paper has been accepted. Authors should flag papers they wish to be considered for the best paper based on a new dataset award with a footnote on the first page of the paper. The proceedings of past PAM conferences were published in Springer LNCS series, and we have a preliminary indication from Springer that this will continue for PAM 2008 (pending the formal agreement). Authors are, as always, asked to refrain from submitting papers submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.

Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems that are capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical systems, which have similar high stability and efficiency often found in biological entities. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cellular signaling pathways b) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - Self-organizing network paradigms - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Self-learning defense strategies - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms - Network and information security - Experimental studies - Nano-scale and molecular communication Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON) Datum: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:43:56 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-08) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 22th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-08), GinoWan, Okinawa, Japan, Mar 25-28, 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON08/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://conference.iis.sinica.edu.tw/Conference-Submission). The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: Oct. 19, 2007 Authors Notification: Nov. 19, 2007 Authors Registration: Nov. 30, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 14, 2007 General Co-Chairs Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Athanassios Boulis, National ICT Australia, Australia Vladimir Bychkovsky, MIT, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Debojyoti Dutta, CISCO, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Tim Moors, University of New South Wales, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Giovanni Pau, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Chuan-Ching Sue, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
