-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP AMI07 AAL Workshop Datum: Wed, 1 Aug 2007 08:01:30 +0200 Von: Thomas Fuhrmann <fuhrmann(a)IRA.UKA.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS -- -- Extended Deadline for submissions: 17 August 2007 -- AmI-07 Workshop: Ambient Assisted Living, Darmstadt, Germany, 10 November 2007, part of the European Conference on Ambient Intelligence http://www.ami-07.org/documents/AmI07-AAL.pdf Most industrialized countries face severe demographical and social changes: the average lifespan rises, more and younger people suffer from chronic diseases, the number of single-households with elderly or handicapped people increases, etc. As a result our society invested a growing share of its GNP into people in need of care, while at the same time the quality of this care does not rise and often even drops. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a promising approach to overcome these problems. AAL provides equipment and automated services that enable senior citizens to live longer independently and self-determined in their own homes. This reduces the need for special medical care and nursing services; and it improves the quality of these services, often at lower cost for the society. Central to each AAL solution is a sound awareness of the elders' situation and their actual need for assistance and an adequate presence of the solutions. In particular, Ambient Assisted Living provides - automated support to carry out daily activities - health and activity monitoring - enhanced safety and security - access to social, medical, and emergency systems - promotion of social contacts - context-based infotainment and entertainment. This workshop will bring together experts from academia and industry to identify and discuss specific demands, approaches, and solutions with regard to awareness and presence in the AAL domain. Therefore, we solicit workshop submissions that present novel approaches and technologies in ambient intelligence, describe new applications of existing such technologies in AAL, or that propose future challenges for research in that application domain. The workshop will consist of the presentations of the peer-reviewed papers and a panel discussion session that shall stimulate future research in AAL with respect to practical needs for AAL. Papers will thus be selected not only on their technical quality but also based on their potential to stimulate this discussion. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Assistance demands of elders in general - Reports on AAL field studies and their outcomes - Specific demands of elders regarding awareness and presence - Sensors to monitor location, behaviour, and physical state of humans - Modelling human behaviour and identifying behavioural patterns - Impact of monitoring technologies on the individual life - Identification of health risks using various sensor data - Models used to interpret and process the collected data of an individual - Design criteria for human-machine interfaces and communication devices for seniors - Human-machine interfaces which adapt dynamically to the capabilities of humans - Dynamically adaptable and adaptive system architectures and platforms for AAL services - Technology acceptance of assistance devices Submission Papers can be submitted of at most 10 pages in Springer LNCS format (as for the AmI'07 conference). Proceedings will be available at the workshop. The intention is to realize publication of extended postproceedings as a book on the workshop theme by a recognized publisher after the workshop. - Aug. 17, 2007 Submission deadline (extended) - Sep. 20, 2007 Notification of acceptance - Oct. 30, 2007 Camera ready version due Please submit your papers to floeck(a)eit.uni-kl.de.

IEEE Communication Magazine, Special Issue on Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges (June 2008)
by Chava S 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Manuscript Submission Deadline: December 1, 2007                             CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine June 2008   ------------------ Feature Topic ------------------ Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges   ---------------- Background ----------------   The continuing maturation and declining costs of optical technologies has resulted in current and future optical networks having several optical domains with different granularities; each domain controlled by an independent and autonomous service provider. Now consider the emerging applications, which require high-bandwidth and interconnection with multiple applications across multiple domains. These kinds of applications necessitate the critical need for intelligent optical network control plane which is aware and can compute end-to-end paths based several domain specific and technology specific parameters. Standardized interworking across various multi-granularity network interfaces and interoperability among vendors equipment/domains are crucial to provision end-to-end services and establish cost effective network evolution path. Current optical networks are based on multiple technologies and control solutions, standard and propriety, making inter-domain and inter-carrier interworking difficult posing several new requirements, for example, the routing process needs to know the extent of each domain and the granularities on each link within the domains and should be sensitive to the costs associated in traversing through other domains; the domain specific information sharing and dissemination; performance monitoring across multiple domains; fault-localization and reporting; security; billing and accounting; control plane standardization; efficient inter-domain routing protocols such as OBGP/PNNI; SLA negotiation and guarantee across multiple domains; interoperability issues; etc. Needless to say that, by having an interoperable and standard control plane across mutli domain optical networks, carriers can benefit from cost effective selection of network elements, platforms, and multiple vendor solutions resulting in faster deployment and reduced CAPEX and OPEX. To promote research and address these challenges many leading private and government agencies have funded numerous projects across the world. Clearly, these newer research initiatives will play a crucial prove-in role for emergent multi-domain optical networks, and their importance cannot be understated. This special issue will serve to share the collective experiences of researchers, industry professionals, practicing engineers, network operators, and equipment vendors in the area of multi-domain optical networking space.   ----------------------------- Scope of Contributions ----------------------------- This feature topic aims to consolidate and disseminate the recent developments and advances in the area of multi-domain optical networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] WiOpt 2008 Call for Workshops Datum: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 19:44:19 +0200 Von: James Gross <gross(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu WiOpt 2008 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks March 31st - April 4th, Berlin, Germany The 6th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt 2008) provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on optimization of wireless network design and operations. Proposals are invited for workshops to be affiliated with WiOpt 2008. These workshops should be more informal and focused than WiOpt itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the workshop attendees. The workshop cost is defined by ICST. The preference is for one-day workshops, but other schedules can also be considered. The workshops themselves will be held on March 31st, and April 4th, 2008. The workshop proposal should be a maximum of 2 pages long and should clearly identify the theme, the scope, and specific topic areas of interest which define the scope of the workshop. The proposal should also suggest potential program chairs and program committee members. Submission details Deadline for submission: August 6th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: August 14th, 2007 Prospective workshop organisers are invited to submit a completed workshop proposal form in plain text format to the WiOpt 2008 workshop co-chairs (Imad Aad and Tania Jimenez), via email (aad at docomolab-euro.com and tania.jimenez at univ-avignon.fr) by August 6th, 2007. Please note that this is a firm deadline. Organisers will be notified if their proposal is accepted by August 14th, 2007. Selection committee ------------------- The workshop proposals will be evaluated by the WiOpt 2008 organizing committee. Further information ------------------- Any queries regarding WiOpt 2008 workshop proposals should be addressed to the workshops co-chairs. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS]

c -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:24:47 -0400 Von: Dario Pompili <dario(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CALL FOR PAPERS] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Underwater Wireless Communications and Networks Wireless information transmission through the ocean is one of the enabling technologies for the development of future ocean-observation systems, whose applications include gathering of scientific data, pollution control, climate recording, detection of objects on the ocean floor, and transmission of images from remote sites. Implicitly, wireless signal transmission is crucial for control of autonomous vehicles which will serve as mobile nodes in the future information networks of distributed underwater sensors. Wireless communications underwater are usually established using acoustic waves, while electro-magnetic waves can be used over short distances. Acoustic communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth, time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound underwater. Together, these factors result in a communication channel of poor quality and high latency, thus ironically combining the worst properties of terrestrial mobile radio and satellite channels. In addition, because acoustic propagation is best supported at low frequencies, high-rate underwater systems are inherently ultra-wideband. These facts necessitate dedicated design of communication algorithms and network protocols at all layers of the system architecture. The proposed JSAC special issue seeks original research papers that explicitly address the unique technical challenges encountered in underwater scenarios, including (but not limited to) the following areas: * Statistical channel modeling and estimation * Underwater channel and network capacity * Bandwidth-efficient modulation/detection methods * Acoustic modem design and performance * Coding for underwater channels * Optical and RF underwater systems * Network topology and architecture * Resource allocation and spatial reuse * Multiple access techniques * Medium access control protocols * Routing protocols * Transport protocols * Traffic characterization and modeling * Data aggregation, fusion, and storage * System integration and applications * Experimental platforms * Application experiences Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html and submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://edas.info according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 15, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2008 Publication: 4th Quarter 2008 For any additional request, please contact Michele Zorzi, zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it GUEST EDITORS John Heidemann, Information Sciences Institute (johnh(a)isi.edu) Urbashi Mitra, University of Southern California (ubli(a)usc.edu) James Preisig, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (jpreisig(a)whoi.edu) Milica Stojanovic, Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (millitsa(a)mit.edu) Michele Zorzi, University of Padova (zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it) Dario Pompili, Ph.D. School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA Email: dario(a)ece.gatech.edu http://users.ece.gatech.edu/dario/ Mobile: (404) 324-2342 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
