-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 4th International Symposium on Pervasive Gaming Applications (PerGames 2007) Datum: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 23:16:53 +0100 Von: Carsten Magerkurth <magerkurth(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de> An: Carsten Magerkurth <magerkurth(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 http://www.pergames.de 4th International Symposium on Pervasive Gaming Applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11. & 12. 2007. It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference. We encourage submissions of live demos of complete, playable Pervasive Games or novel technology demonstrators. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussions. A demo submission includes an abstract that describes the exhibit and discusses its novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches. It should be two to four pages using the ACM SIGCHI format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citywide Games: Citywide Games are larger than Live Demonstrations with respect to the suggested temporal or spatial expansion. Typically, they will be played over several hours or days within the city of Salzburg or within the conference building. PerGames 2007 will help with the advertisement, the local organization, permissions, legal issues and press contacts. Possible types of Citywide Games include (but are not limited to): * Mobile phone games * Augmented reality games * Casual games * Alternate reality games * Online on street games * Event-based games * Proximity games * Crossmedia games * Technology-enhanced larp games Citywide Game proposals should be submitted electronically and include a game title, a brief description of the game experience (appr. 200 words), as well as the names and contact information of the Citywide Game organizers. The proposal should also identify the intended audience, its size, all technical infrastructure requirements (e.g. WiFi, GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth, GPS, ...) as well as and further requirements (e.g. required space, time, power supply, etc.). Please describe the requirements in detail and be precise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submissions will be due 1. March 2007 with the acceptance notification coming 30. March and printer ready versions due afterwards. Accepted papers will be published in a printed proceedings volume and will also be made available online. The deadline for demo submissions, posters, and citywide games will be 15. April 2007. The ACM SIGCHI format template can be downloaded from http://sigchi.org/chipubform/cpf.doc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For further information, please check the symposium website: http://www.pergames.de Organizers: Annika Waern: SICS, Sweden Carsten Magerkurth: Fraunhofer IPSI, Germany Irma Lindt: Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Karl-Petter Åkesson: SICS, Sweden Peter Ljungstrand: Interactive Institute, Sweden Regina Bernhaupt, University of Salzburg, Austria Staffan Björk: Interactive Institute and Göteborg University, Sweden To contact the organizers, please send email to: 2007(a)pergames.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp Datum: Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:15:25 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ****** AUTONOMICS ***** *First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics07 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS ( http://cocus.create-net.it <http://cocus.create-net.it/>) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [IEEE WoWMoM'07] CFP Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC), Workshop (Deadline: January 21, 2007) Datum: Wed, 06 Dec 2006 15:56:38 +0100 Von: Luciana Pelusi <luciana.pelusi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ******************************************************************** *PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS* First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on *AUTONOMIC and OPPORTUNISTIC COMMUNICATIONS - AOC 2007* June 18, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/ organized by *ANA and HAGGLE projects* funded by the FET-IST Programme in the area Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC) **** *Deadline --- January 21, 2007* **** ******************************************************************** We are faced with an era where the widespread use of small portable wireless devices and wireless technologies are building the pervasive vision. This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks Adaptive security for self protection of networks Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications Mobility models for opportunistic networking Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

Many network-related applications are emerging for portable devices as smart cellular phone technology advances, the price decreases, and the infrastructure to support wireless applications (voice, data, video) is being deployed ubiquitously to meet unprecedented demands from users. All of these fast-growing services translate into the high volume of Internet traffic, stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, large number of hosts/devices to be supported, large forwarding tables to support, and high packet processing and storage capability. These factors create new specifications for the packet switches and the routers, and new challenges to the equipment vendors and network providers when designing/operating next generation switches and routers. The scope of the High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR) Workshop is focused on the technology of high-speed switches and routers, including architectural and algorithmic aspects of high-speed IP networks, possibly adopting optical technologies and wireless user access. This workshop will solicit original contributions which address the key networking technologies and issues in the years ahead.
