fyi -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments Datum: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 01:17:25 +0100 (CET) Von: Gaia Maselli <maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers HealthNet 2007 The 1st International Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments In conjunction with MobiSys 2007 June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA http://healthnet07.cs.uiuc.edu Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. 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: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on based on technical content and correctness, relevance to the workshop, as well as presentation of the research.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [MobiOpp07 - ACM MobiSys co-located workshop]: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:17:23 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 10th IEEE Global Internet Symposium 2007 (Deadline Extended) Datum: Sat, 3 Feb 2007 10:45:24 -0800 (PST) Von: Jun Li <lijun(a)cs.uoregon.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu 10th IEEE Global Internet Symposium 2007 (in conjunction with IEEE Infocom 2007 <http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2007>) Anchorage, AK, May 11-12, 2007 Paper Submission Deadline: February 12, 2007 (Extended) *** with a new open review process *** Call for Papers The 10th IEEE Global Internet Symposium will be held simultaneously and co-located with IEEE Infocom 2007. All relevant dates, location, and travel information are available from the IEEE Infocom 2007 conference site: http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2007. Paper submission guidelines can be found at http://netsec.cs.uoregon.edu/gi2007. Symposium Topics IEEE Global Internet 2007 aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in Internet-related technologies. The focus of the symposium is on experimental systems and on emerging Internet technologies. The Program Committee encourages original submissions describing promising work in progress, speculations about the future of the Internet, and progressive position papers. Authors are invited to submit papers on any issue related to Internet technology, including but not limited to the following topics: * P2P networking and overlay networks * Privacy and/or security issues in the Internet * Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services (VPNs, traffic engineering, mobility support, etc.) * Content networking (caching, content distribution, content routing, content services, load balancing, etc.) * Distributed Internet applications including games, VoIP, and video conferencing * Novel applications and new paradigms (telephony, streaming media, etc.) * Handling Internet dynamics/heterogeneity (by applications and/or the network) * Routing (unicast, multicast, anycast, etc.) * Flow management (fairness/sharing, congestion control, differentiated services, etc.) * The Internet and mobility/mobile devices * Traffic measurement, analysis, modeling, and visualization * Anomaly, intrusion and attack detection Important Dates Paper Registration Due: February 5, 2007, 11:59 PM, PST (Extended) Paper Submissions Due: February 12, 2007, 11:59 PM, PST (Extended) Notification of Acceptance: March 19, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: April 9, 2007 Symposium: May 11-12, 2007 Open Review Process The review process will follow a radically different format: the reviewers' names will be made known to the authors. In addition, if the authors of the paper consent, the reviews and the names of the reviewers will be posted on our website. The goal is to put more stress on the reviewers to be gentle and thorough in their reviews. Note that GI 2007 is arguably the first forum to implement this approach in the recent past.
