-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: VANET 2007 Submissions due May 14 Datum: Tue, 8 May 2007 17:10:17 -0800 Von: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2007 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 September 10, 2007 Montréal, QC, Canada Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of Acceptance: June 18, 2007 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 16, 2007 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2007 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CfP: First ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras Datum: Fri, 4 May 2007 08:01:20 +0200 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG First ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC-07) September 25-28, 2007 Vienna, Austria http://www.icdsc.org/ Call for Papers Scope Distributed smart cameras combine techniques from computer vision, distributed processing, and embedded computing. Technological advances in the design of sensors and processors have facilitated the development of efficient embedded vision-based techniques. Distributed algorithms can provide more confident deductions about the events of interest or reduce ambiguities in a view caused by occlusion or other factors. Because they operate in real time, a variety of smart environment applications can be enabled based on the development of efficient architectures and algorithms for distributed vision networks. The conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers working in the areas of smart camera architectures, algorithm design, embedded vision-based processing, and smart environments to exchange their most recent results. Offering insight into the potentials and challenges of distributed vision networks and presentation of design methodologies employed by leading research groups working in these areas are also the objectives of the conference. Presentations accompanied by demonstrations and contributions based on industrial applications are also of interest. Topics * Smart camera architectures * Image sensing techniques for smart cameras * Embedded vision programming * Fusion of vision and other sensors * Distributed vision processing algorithms * Distributed appearance modeling * Collaborative feature extraction, data and decision fusion * Architectures and protocols for camera networks * Wireless and mobile image senor networks * Position discovery and middleware applications * Vision-based smart environments * Surveillance and tracking applications * Multi-view vision for human-computer interaction * 3D scene analysis * Distributed multimedia and gaming applications Dates Paper submission: May 21, 2007 Tutorial proposal: May 21, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2007 Camera-ready paper: July 20, 2007 Conference: September 25-28, 2007 (Tutorials: September 25, 2007)
