-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] CfP: Workshop on Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 10:31:55 +0200 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> *Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working *A one-day Critical Computing Workshop http://www.sjul.org/boundaries05 boundaries05(a)umich.edu *Critical Computing* 20-24 August 2005 Aarhus, Denmark http://www.aarhus2005.org/ / //POSITION PAPERS due June 26 (July 25 for late acceptance, if space is available)/ *BOUNDARIES BETWEEN LEARNING, ENJOYING AND WORKING* People learn (only) in school, are productive (only) at work and enjoy themselves (only) elsewhere, right? No? That's the impression often imparted by information technology: entertainment software is distinct from productivity tools and both differ from educational technology. Blurring the boundaries between learning, enjoying and working will be increasingly critical as information technology matures, becomes more diverse and enters new dimensions of human existence. This need is already evident, for example, in efforts to incorporate "fun" as a design value for productivity tools, or to support understanding and solving of real-world problems in educational technologies. Research and design communities also reflect these boundaries, differing in values, practices and expertise. For instance, educational designers emphasize "reflective design" (stressing interpretation, understanding and reasoning), whereas productivity designers emphasize "behavioral design" (stressing use and experience), while entertainment designers emphasize "visceral design" (stressing appearance, touch, and feel). Development of boundary-blurring technologies will require understanding ways and implications of crossing the boundaries in both research and design settings. The purpose of the workshop is to examine, systematically, opportunities for and implications of research, design and development of integrated technologies, and explore ways of helping designers and researchers to cross boundaries. The objectives of the workshop are to develop an understanding of the opportunities for, limitations of and issues raised by blurring boundaries, and to outline a research agenda for technologies that allow people simultaneously to learn, enjoy themselves and be productive, and to do so across all the settings -- work, home, play -- in which they conduct their lives. *DISCUSSION TOPICS* Topics for discussion will primarily be derived from participants' suggestions and interests. However, they might include: Implications and Opportunities for Integrated Technologies o Are there venues for integrated technologies that are particularly appropriate or inappropriate? o Do integrated technologies pose special social or ethical concerns? o What conflicts might blurring boundaries present? E.g., automating subtasks to increase productivity vs. exposing them to increase learning. o Do integrated technologies introduce new or specialized computational problems? Benefits of Integrating Technologies o How might research or design communities benefit from looking across boundaries? o What do different research and design communities have to offer each other? Process and Methodological Changes o Do design processes and methodologies differ for different spheres of purpose or types of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? o Do research questions and methods differ by purpose or type of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? Research Agenda o How might viewing technology across boundaries affect research, design and development? o What research questions might be raised or answered by integration? o What research questions must be answered to achieve integration? o How can opportunities for research, design and development across boundaries be created and supported? * IMPORTANT DATES* June 26: Position papers due June 30: Notification of acceptance July 1: Early registration deadline July 25: Late position papers due (if space is available) Aug 1: Notification of acceptance (late position papers) Aug 20: Workshop takes place in Aarhus, Denmark _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

September 2005, 9:00-12:30 Uhr Ort: Linz, Austria Einreichungsfrist: 15. August 2005 Moderation: Leonie Schäfer, EU Commission - DG Information Society & Media, leonie.schaefer(a)cec.eu.int Steffi Beckhaus, interactive media/ virtual environments, Universität Hamburg, steffi.beckhaus(a)uni-hamburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation ---------- Digitale Spiele haben sich zu einem neuen, aktuellen Trend in der weltweiten Forschung im IT-Bereich entwickelt. Neben klassischen Spieltypen wie Shooter Games und Verfolgungsjagden entsteht eine Vielzahl neuer Spielformen. Diese neuen digitalen Spiele sind vielfach kooperativ, multimodal und haben ihren Handlungsort in einer virtuellen Umgebung. Die Spieler können sich an unterschiedlichen Orten befinden, jedoch auf eine gemeinsame virtuelle Spielplattform zugreifen und so miteinander kooperieren. Anwendung finden solche Spiele nicht nur im Unterhaltungsbereich, wie z.B. in der Form von Rollenspielen, sondern auch im Arbeitsbereich in der Simulation von komplexen Arbeits- und Produktionsprozessen. Diese neue Generation von digitalen Spielen stellt eine neue Herausforderung dar für das Design von spielgeeigneten Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, der Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte, sowie der Gestaltung von kooperationsunterstützender Software. In diesem Workshop wollen wir uns speziell mit der Frage befassen, inwiefern Strukturen aus dem Bereich kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragbar sind auf eine Anwendung im Bereich der digitalen Spiele. Fragen hierzu sind z.B.: Welche Bedeutung haben Kooperation und Communities für den Erfolg eines digitalen Spiels? Welche Funktionalitäten und Ansätze können von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übernommen werden? Welche Spieltypen würden davon besonders profitieren? Ebenso ist die Umkehrung der Frage von Interesse: Wie lassen sich die Erfahrungen in der Gestaltung und Entwicklung von Spielen auf das Design von kooperativen Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen? Viele digitale Spiele haben einen sehr immersiven Charakter. Durch welche Spielstrukturen wird dieser Effekt hervorgerufen? Kann man diese Strukturen auf kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen und dort einen ähnlichen Effekt erzielen? Welche Art von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen würde davon profitieren? Ziel des Workshops ------------------ Das Ziel des halbtägigen Workshops ist es, für kooperative Spiele und kollaborative Arbeitsumgebungen: * existierende Strukturen und Erfolgsfaktoren digitaler Spiele und kooperativer Anwendungen zu untersuchen und diese auf ihre gegenseitige Anwendbarkeit zu überprüfen, * Szenarien zu entwickeln für zukünftige Anwendungen, * Forschungsziele zu definieren und diese thematisch und zeitlich zu gliedern. Zielgruppe ---------- Der Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer mit einem Hintergrund beispielsweise in der Entwicklung von Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, CSCW, VR, Mixed Reality, Design, Usability und der Computerspiel-Entwicklung. Die Teilnehmer sollten diskussionsfreudig sein und bereit aktiv mitzuarbeiten. Gestaltung & Ergebnis des Workshops ------------------------ Der halbtägige Workshop wird schwerpunktmäßig in Form von Diskussionsrunden zur gemeinsamen Erarbeitung der vorangehend angeführten Ziele stattfinden. Die Beiträge der Teilnehmer und die Ergebnisse des Workshops werden auf der Workshop Website veröffentlicht. Anforderungen ------------- Die Teilnehmerzahl des Workshops ist beschränkt auf 20 Teilnehmer. Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme ist die Einreichung und Annahme eines Positionspapiers von einer halben bis einer Seite Länge, um den Workshop entsprechend des Profils der Teilnehmer gestalten zu können. Einreichungen per email an die Autorinnen sind möglich bis zum 15.August 2005. Das Positionspapier kann eine kurze Ideenskizze sein, ein aktuelles spiel-relevantes Projekt des Teilnehmers beschreiben oder auch nur das Interesse des Teilnehmers an einer Fragestellung formulieren.

A synthesis of the discussion that took place in the MPAC 2003 and 2004 workshops has led to the identification of the following areas where pervasive and ad-hoc environments challenge existing middleware: 1. Middleware support for programming adaptation and the associated decision making process. 2. Security, privacy and trust in pervasive environments and ad-hoc communities. 3. Benchmarks and frameworks for the comparative evaluation of middleware approaches for pervasive and ad-hoc computing. 4. Middleware abstraction and infrastructures for sensor based services. Although, the above challenges form a set of potential themes for the workshop, this list is by no means exhaustive. Consequently, the workshop seeks papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: . Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure, middleware support and emerging standards (OMG DDS, IEEE/NIST 1451.x, OSGi WireAdmin, JSR256 & 257 .); . Calculi for sensor data, and middleware support for their processing and distribution; . Sensor data mining; . Component-based and service-oriented architectures, and design patterns for sensor based services; . Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems, and sensor-based services; . New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; . Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; . Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; . Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; . Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; . Service-connection middleware and architectures; . Support for zero configuration; . Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution and autonomic computing in general; . Data management infrastructures for ad hoc and pervasive systems; . Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Reliability and availability in pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); . Resource discovery and management; . Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission ---------- The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Please submit your papers in PS or PDF using the ACM proceeding format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) to the web site http://www-adele.imag.fr/mpac05/ocs. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as well as in a hard-copy companion proceedings issued to the workshop participants. Appropriate publication of extended versions of workshop submissions and the research roadmap along similar lines to the forthcoming special issue on middleware and systems software for pervasive computing of the Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous, is being investigated.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2 CFP 2005 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis Date: Sat, 04 Jun 2005 15:35:31 -0500 From: Bezalel Gavish <gavishb2000(a)yahoo.com> To: (Recipient list suppressed) The 2005 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/ INFOMART center, Dallas, TX November 17-20, 2005 The 2005 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis will be held at the INFOMART center, Dallas, TX on November 17-20, 2005. The conference will build on the tradition of the earlier conferences. The general idea is to encourage informal interaction and exchanges of ideas by limiting the number of participants, concentrating on a few topics, and by presenting new problems and problem areas. The objective is to advance the state of the modeling and analysis in telecommunications by stimulating research activity on new and important problems. The conference will be divided into segments with each segment devoted to a specific topic. This will allow for little conflict between segments. Papers will be screened by the Program Committee <http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html> to ensure the quality of presentations. Abstracts and papers should be submitted directly to the Conference Chairman <mailto:gavishb2000@yahoo.com> who will handle its review. Social and cultural activities will be included in the 2005 agenda. The Program Committee <http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html> is open to any ideas you might have regarding additional topics or format of the conference. The intention is, to limit the number of parallel sessions to three. The conference is scheduled over a weekend to reduce teaching conflicts for academic participants and to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel and airfare rates. Potential participants should send by July 1, 2005 an extended abstract or a full paper to the conference general chair. The technical program committee will evaluate the papers, and a decision will be sent to the authors by August 1, 2005 with instructions for the final version of the paper, which is due by October 1, 2005. Full paper contributions will be considered for publication in the Telecommunication Systems <http://www.wkap.nl/journalhome.htm/1018-4864> Journal or the Electronic Commerce Research <http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-0-70-35740341-0,0…> Journal. Conference participants will be provided with the conference proceedings. *Conference General Chair:* Bezalel Gavish, Cox school of business, SMU, Dallas TX 75205, email Conference <mailto:gavishb2000@yahoo.com>Chairman *Professor Bezalel Gavish *Eugene J. and Ruth F.
