-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IAMCOM 2008 - Call For Papers Datum: Mon, 17 Sep 2007 08:17:47 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)UNI-KASSEL.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 ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== IAMCOM 2008 Workshop on Intelligent Networking: Adaptation, Communication, and Reconfiguration January 10, 2008. Bangalore, India http://www.iamcom.org <http://www.iamcom.org/> Paper submission deadline: 10 October, 2007, Friday Midnight, CET Workshop co-Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org <http://www.comsoc.org/>) CreateNet (www.create-net.it <http://www.create-net.it/>) [held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM conference COMSWARE 2008, with a large participation from industries and government labs] ******************************************************************* SCOPE ====== The topic of assured communications between the application end-points in a distributed embedded system is quite important for the military, automotive, aerospace, and E-Commerce domains. It synergizes three sub-areas of research: adaptation of system operations to the network resources & environment conditions, reliable communications between end-points in the presence of failures, and self-reconfigurations at various system levels for increased resilience. The topic has spurred the need for Intelligent Networking at various layers of the system architecture to support these critical functionalities. IAMCOM 2008 will thus offer a unique and focused forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in this important area.. ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Intelligent Networking has become popular in the context of distributed embedded systems for aerospace, automotive, military, E-commerce, and eco-surveillance applications. Unlike the telecom-centric networks of the 90's that had an inward focus on network signaling & control today's intelligent networks are designed from an application perspective. Here, networks could mean a set of collaborative data processing nodes that serve as application proxies ( e.g., airborne nodes in a police surveillance network). The goal of contemporary Intelligent Networking is to improve application-level reliability & performance, security, QoS assurance, and the like. The need for intelligent networking arises because the target application systems are too complex to be studied in isolation. A holistic approach to design that addresses both application and network, can result in performance gains. Often, mathematical models and/or closed-form representations of target application systems do not exist or are too unwieldy to allow offline analysis. For instance, network outages can have a profound impact on the application reliability in many military applications, but can be tolerated in certain commercial application domains. The mapping relationship between the network events and the application activities are deeply buried in the system operations, with no apparent mechanism for the system designers to track these cross-layer relationships. The complex nature of modern day embedded systems applications provides a new dimension to the concept of intelligent networking --- and hence opens a set of new research directions. This new dimension covers three aspects: adaptation to resources & environment, reliable communications between nodes, and reconfigurations at various system levels. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing work in embedded systems control & management pertaining to the three pillars of adaptation, communication, and reconfiguration. Papers are solicited on the following topics: 1. QoS assurance architectures 2. Network state fusion, monitoring 3. Utility-based QoS adaptation 4. Vehicular network security 5. Capacity provisioning 6. Survivable links: restoration & routing 7. Dynamic resource allocations 8. Distributed management & control 9. Self-healing networks 10. Cross-layer approaches in system design 11. 'Control-Theoretic' approaches to performance management 12. Embedded systems applications --- aerospace, automotive, military & sensor networks 13. Latency-sensitive data streaming & fusion 14. Service-level specification & verification 15. Energy-aware wireless operations 16. QoS stability in wireless networks 17. MAC-layer optimizations in wireless networks 18. Incentive based QoS models for wireless networks 19. Reliable communications in vehicular networks: Emergency Response 20.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extension to October 10: Special Issue of PMC on Homeland and Global Security Datum: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:54:39 +0200 Von: Raffaele Bruno <raffaele.bruno(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal Special Issue on Homeland and Global Security The development, deployment and coordination of pervasive and mobile computing (PMC) has been studied for a number of years, and much of this research is beginning to transition into real solutions for a variety of domains. One domain that is ripe for PMC research and development is homeland and global security. Much of the security mission involves the monitoring of various environments (e.g., ports, borders, mass transit hubs, financial centers, power grids, the Internet) and the prediction and detection of threats to these environments. PMC represents a general solution to maintaining security in these environments. In this special issue we seek contributions representing the state-of-the-art in PMC research and technology targeted toward homeland and global security. Components of such approaches include novel sensor and sensor systems for the detection of various threats, efficient and effective deployment of mobile devices and sensors in such environments, heterogeneous systems for surveillance and threat detection, secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication of sensors in homeland and global security environments, information fusion for prediction and detection of threats, integration and registration of data from multiple sources, and effective decision-making in dynamic environments. And since the nature of the challenge restricts in situ testing of the various approaches, high-fidelity simulation and modeling of such systems is necessary, including the mobile devices and sensors, their communication, the data produced, the characteristics of potential threats, and the temporal interaction in response to the sequence of events leading up to the threat. The objective of this special issue is to gather high quality research papers that address PMC applied to the challenges of homeland and global security. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research in this area. Topics on integrated and demonstrated systems and experiments with real- world data and involving users are highly encouraged. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: · Sensors and sensor networks for threat detection · RFID-based tracking · Biometric devices · Biological/chemical sensors · Screening devices · Deployment of mobile devices and sensors · Secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication · Sensor data and information fusion · Decision-making in dynamic security environments · Command and control software systems · Testing and evaluation methodologies · Simulation and modeling of security domains and systems · Secure smart environments · Learning and training systems · Disaster mitigation and emergency response 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 30 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are also required 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). Important Dates: Deadline for submission (HARD): Extended to October 10, 2007 Author Notification: December 1, 2007 Revisions Due: February 1, 2008 Final Decision: March 15, 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 Guest Editors: Larry Holder, Mohan Kumar and Raffaele Bruno _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 5th IEEE Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08)' Datum: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 18:45:02 +0200 Von: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Antwort an: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Organisation: Universität Stuttgart An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Apologies for possible multiple copies] Call for Paper ======================================================================== 5th Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08) co-located with the Sixth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Hong Kong, 17 – 21 March 2008 ======================================================================== http://www.percom.org http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/COMOREA Workshop Scope There is a growing interest in context-aware applications that intelligently support user tasks by acting autonomously on behalf of users. Behaviour of context-aware applications depends not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on the context sensed during their execution. Some early models of context information already exist, however many research issues related to context information modeling are still not fully addressed. Existing context models vary in types of context information they can represent. While some models take the user’s current situation, e.g. “in a meeting”, into account others model the physical environment, i.e. locations. A more generic approach to context modeling is needed in order to capture various features of context information including a variety of types of context information, dependencies between context information, quality of context information and context histories. In addition, to ease software engineering problems encountered in programming context-aware applications, appropriate abstractions are necessary to support discovery and reuse of context information as well as scalable methods of context processing and management. This workshop’s aim is to advance the state of the art in context modeling and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Particular attention will be paid to hybrid approaches to context modeling, e.g. an integration of non-ontology based context models with ontology based context models. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop: * Context modeling techniques * Domain-specific context models * Ontology-based approaches to context modeling and reasoning * Hybrid context models (integration of various modeling techniques) * Advanced issues in context modeling, including issues of information quality and ambiguity * Context reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy * Discovery and reuse of context information * Privacy of context information * Distributed and scalable context management * Experiences with using context models to build context-aware applications * Tool support for context modeling and development of context model-based applications * Balance of autonomy with user control Submissions Submitted papers will be refereed by the workshop Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the PerCom 08 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Submitted papers should address at least one of the workshop topics. The papers should be in the IEEE format and should be no more than 5 pages in length. Research papers must be an original unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. Experience reports must be stated as such and a comprehensive discussion of the taken approach, experiences, and its assessment is expected. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair CoMoRea page, http://www.easychair.org/CoMoRea08/ The authors of accepted papers of outstanding quality will be encouraged to submit an extended version to the PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management.

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.)
