-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management Datum: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 02:01:44 +1000 Von: Jadwiga Indulska <jaga(a)itee.uq.edu.au> Organisation: ITEE An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [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 Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ============================================================================ === *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ============================================================================ === Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org ============================================================================ === Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jäntti, Helsinki Univ.
