-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: UbiComp 2007: Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 08 Nov 2006 07:53:06 +0100 Von: Matthias Kranz <matthias(a)hcilab.org> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de UbiComp2007 Call for Papers --------------------------- UbiComp 2007 [1] will be the Ninth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, held in Innsbruck, Austria, on 16-19 September 2007. UbiComp 2007 invites original, high-quality research papers in the areas of ubiquitous, mobile, embedded, and handheld computing. The conference provides a forum for original research that enables new capabilities, appropriate security and privacy, improved user experiences, and simplified and powerful development and deployment practices. In addition, we are interested in studies of existing and emerging technologies, everyday use of technologies, and insightful commentary on the state of the field. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers on the following topics: • Inferring the state of the user, such as location, activity, intentions, resources, and capabilities in the past, present, and future • Developing ubicomp systems, including representations, architecture, middleware, resource management, and service discovery • Embedding computation for new user interfaces, assistive technologies, communication, novel sensors, intelligent environments, wearable computing, and continuous monitoring and actuation • Building ubicomp systems for health, gaming, socializing, and other applications • Ensuring user trust through privacy and security • Understanding ubicomp and its consequences through conceptual models, hard-won experience, user studies, business scenarios, and real deployments UbiComp has a history of being a very selective conference, and there is no desire to reduce expectations on quality. In an effort to enhance the breadth of the conference, we aim to increase the number of accepted full papers to approximately 40 for this year, which is up from 30 last year and 22 the year before. Presentations will be scheduled in a dualtrack format. The conference will institute a process for nominating and selecting awards for best paper and presentations at the conference. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee and by selected expert reviewers. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, overall appeal to the general UbiComp reader, and presentation. Papers submitted must not have been previously published nor currently under review for any publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. If submitted work may appear to overlap with the authors’ previous work, the authors should email the PC chairs [2] directly to explain how the new work is different. All reviewers will be instructed to keep submissions confidential, although submissions must be publishable by the cameraready deadline. Accepted papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), and all submissions should be formatted according to their guidelines [3]. Misformatted submissions, or those longer than 18 pages, are subject to rejection without review. Shorter submissions will not be penalized, and each submission’s length should be appropriate for its content. One author from each accepted paper will be required to attend the conference to present their work. Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. Relevant references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through PCS at [4]. A PDF version of this CfP is also available [5].

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Reminder: TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 07 Nov 2006 23:16:04 +0100 Von: Thomas C Schmidt <schmidt(a)informatik.haw-hamburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu *Deadline for extended abstracts approaching: 30. November 2006* FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS TERENA Networking Conference 2007 21 - 24 May Lyngby, Denmark Visible Services - Transparent Networks The TERENA Networking Conference 2007 is organised by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association and hosted by UNI-C, the Danish IT centre for education and research. The conference will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, a vibrant university town just north of Copenhagen. Transportation will be provided between Lyngby and the city of Copenhagen where most of the hotels and social events are located. TERENA Networking Conferences are well-established events focusing on new directions, trends and technology. The conference brings together leading figures from research, management, industry and governance to present and discuss the technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community. In the modern world the availability of fresh water, gas and electricity in our homes is taken for granted to such an extent that we rarely have to think about the underlying infrastructure. As the exchange of information and networked service becomes more pervasive and integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is important that this infrastructure acquires the same degree of transparency. The underlying network infrastructure needs to become more transparent, so that we can focus all of our attention on providing applications that deliver high quality services that are easy and intuitive to use. In this way it should be possible to raise the visibility of services above that of the supporting technology. It is my pleasure to invite you to bring your experiences, ideas and results to TNC 2007 and share them with colleagues from the international research and education networking community. Thomas C. Schmidt Programme Committee Chair CONFERENCE TOPICS Extended abstracts (rather than full papers) are invited on all subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology for the research and education community and their use by the community. The topics below are an indication of the planned scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. VISIBLE SERVICES * Connecting Users - voice over IP, videoconferencing, streaming and immersive environments * Protecting Users - user privacy, legislative issues and policies, delegations and spam fighting * Enabling Users - bandwidth-on-demand, mobility and roaming, identity management, federations and location-based services * Novel Uses - e-science, e-arts/humanities, environmental monitoring, advanced and mobile Web technologies and content networks TRANSPARENT NETWORKS * Quality Infrastructure - quality of service, measurement and monitoring, high-speed/optical networks and service management * Protecting the Infrastructure - redundancy, intrusion detection and prevention and security design * Beyond the Infrastructure - autonomous networks, peer-to-peer, mobile ad hoc networks, overlays, storage and sensor networks * Getting to the Infrastructure - access networks, bridging the gap on campus and advanced mobile technologies Extended abstracts of 600 - 1200 words (rather than full papers) can be submitted via the drop box at: http://tnc2007.terena.nl/submit/ The deadline for submission is *30 November 2006* and authors should follow the submission and formatting instructions for extended abstracts. PUBLICATION Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special edition of 'Campus-Wide Information Systems' (Emerald Publishing) in the autumn of 2007.

Providing first responders with the best possible technology, infrastructure and services help save the lives of the general public and the first responders as well. One of the main challenges to the operations of first responders and critical infrastructures is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed network supports services such as location determination, audio and video communication, and in site and remote sensing. Another key feature for first responders and critical infrastructures networks is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop provides a forum for researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss the challenges facing the design, deployment and operational issues for next generation network support for first responders and critical infrastructure. The workshop will identify and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts between different approaches in the area, and provide a common ground for an advanced research and development agenda. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart environments (buildings, roads, vehicles, etc.) - Fast roaming in heterogonous network environment - Localization and time synchronization - Rapidly deployable and self configuring services and networks - Security, dependability, privacy, and performance trade-offs - QoS in heterogeneous wireless networks - Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control - Network and system support for augmented reality and visual analytics - Test beds - Simulation studies of first responders and critical infrastructures? networks - Novel and adaptive communication protocols to support first responders and critical infrastructure? operation - Resource management and allocation - Power control management - Admission, load and flow control - Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wireless networks - Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks - Interoperability among WLANs, Cellular, WSN and wired networks - Measurements on heterogeneous networks - Mobility models and traffic patterns in disaster areas - Cross-layer design Workshop Co-chairs ------------------ Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA Moustafa Youssef, University of Maryland, USA Publicity Chair ------------------ Tamer Elsharnouby, Microsoft Corporation, USA James Joshi, University of Pittsburgh, USA Technical Program Committee ------------------ Arup Acharya, IBM TJ Watson Research Center, USA Ashok Agrawala, University of Maryland, USA Mustaque Ahamad, Georgia Tech, USA Jonathan Agre, Fujitsu Lab, USA Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Farag Azzedine, King Fahd University, Saudi Arabia Doreen Cheng, Samsung Research, USA Nagwa Elmakky, Alexandria University, Egypt Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA Elena Guara, Coventry University, UK Wendi Heinzelman, University of Rochester, USA James Joshi, University of Pittsburgh, USA P.

April 11-13, 2006 In conjunction with 26th IEEE International Performance, Computing, and Communications Conference -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cis.umassd.edu/escowi/ Email: escowi at umassd.edu Topics of Interest ================== With the realization of wide range of heterogeneous wireless networks from wireless local area networks (WLANs), second and third generations (2G/3G) of cellular networks to mobile ad hoc (MANET) and wireless sensor networks (WSN), many new applications such as Wireless Internet, Intelligent Transportation and Telemedicine are becoming realities. The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to support such applications and to enable ubiquitous access to multimedia information and remote computing services regardless of location or mobility while integrating these different wireless technologies. Network convergence, through the co-existence and the interoperability between heterogeneous wireless networks, is therefore regarded as the major challenge in the integration of systems used in numerous applications. In this Workshop we are especially interested in innovative applications and protocols to be adopted in a more secure heterogeneous wireless networks environment. The objective of this workshop is therefore to provide an eSafety forum for researchers and technologists. It aims to bring them together to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and to present their contributions as technical papers related to the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks towards real time safety applications through the intelligent control of mobile systems. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit theoretical and experimental results on topics of interest included but not limited to the following: * Physical layer issues for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless technologies * Efficient mobility and handoff management protocols for seamless roaming within the converged communication architecture * Resource management and allocation * Power control management * Admission, load and flow control * Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wireless networks * Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks * Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols * QoS in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks * Security, authentication, and billing solutions for the converged architecture * Interoperability among WLANs, Cellular, WSN and wired networks * Novel and adaptive communication protocols at all layers, i.e., MAC layer problems, routing, reliable and multimedia transport, for integration of diverse wireless systems * Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks * eSafety applications and measurements (Telemedicine solutions to healthcare problems, intelligent vehicles and driver assistance systems.) in Heterogeneous wireless networks.
