-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] International Forum on 'Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity' - 27-28 April 2005 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2005 10:21:46 -0000 From: Marco Combetto <marcomb(a)microsoft.com> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> Dears ICEC subscribers, This mail is about a call for abstracts that *Microsoft Research Cambridge* is organizing. The deadline for abstracts is the 15 Feb. Best Regards Marco Combetto Research Program Manager External Research Office Microsoft Research Limited mobile +39 348 224 7008 marcomb(a)microsoft.com <mailto:marcomb@microsoft.com> *TITLE:* International Forum on ‘Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity’ - 27–28 April 2005 *DESCRIPTION:* OVERVIEW: Computers continue to become smaller, cheaper, more powerful, ubiquitous and more diverse and yet for many computing is still associated with the desktop device. As a consequence, the potential of computing to shape, improve and change the social, cultural and creative fabric of society is limited. This Forum seeks to understand how computing will be able to affect the way we all live, work, learn and play. By thinking about computing for all rather than some, for the old as well as the young, for those in remote locations as well as those centrally located, and by designing for those with needs very different from those of our own, the Forum hopes to help define how computing and computers could become a ‘natural resource’ for any and all, wherever they and whatever they do. Achieving this will require not just a shift in people’s perceptions, of course, but radical changes in the design of computing which the Forum also wants to define: from the WIMP interface to ‘applianceness’, from mains-powered to wind-up, from the office to robotic, from graphical to tangible. CALL FOR PARTECIPATION: We are inviting you to send in an abstract of your paper (maximum 1000 words) for presentation at the Forum. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at the conference by one of its authors. Paper abstracts and papers can be sent online via https://msrcmt.research.microsoft.com/LessIsMore2005/. In case of questions related to the submission of papers and paper abstracts, please mail camlim(a)microsoft.com. Informal proceedings consisting of the accepted paper abstracts will be distributed at the conference. Accepted paper abstracts will be invited after the conference for a full paper to appear in the formal proceedings. These are planned to be published as a volume in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (subject to their approval). All such full papers will be reviewed before being accepted for publication. *Program committee* * Michel Beaudouin-Lafon, Université Paris-Sud – France * Alan Blackwell, University of Cambridge – UK * Luca Chittaro, University of Udine – Italy * Gillian Crampton Smith, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea – Italy * Bill Gaver, Royal College of Art London – UK * Richard Harper, Microsoft Research (Program chair) * Kristina Höök, Swedish Institute of Computer Science – Sweden * Kenton O’Hara, HP Labs – UK * Kenneth Olausson, Interactive Institute – Sweden * Andrew Monk, University of York – UK * Tom Rodden, University of Nottingham – UK * Kurt Schoenmaekers, Microsoft Research * Ken Wood, Microsoft Research (Program chair) URL: http://research.microsoft.com/ero/IEP/CfPapers.aspx _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchangeand discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and award and a keynotespeaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) * Workload characterization and traffic analysis * User mobility modeling * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks * Software tools in support of measurements * Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) * Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection * Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks * Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load * Comparative analysis on different wireless networks * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests Deadlines --------- Paper submission due -------------March 10, 2005 Notification of acceptance -------- April 10, 2005 Camera-ready papers due ---------- May 6, 2005 Chairs --------- Maria Papadopouli (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) <maria(a)cs.unc.edu> Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research Cambridge) <dina.papagiannaki(a)intel.com> Program Committee ----------------------- Mary Baker (HP Labs) Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Andrew Campbell (Columbia University) Paul Castro (IBM T.J.

This technological evolution is further inspiring researchers to envision the next generation wireless networking architectures and even the space Internet. Next Generation Wireless Internet (NGWI) will be the convergence of these heterogeneous wireless networks and the next generation Internet to provide mobile users with a wide range of high resource demanding services such as high speed reliable data and real-time multimedia delivery. While the unique characteristics of each of these wireless networks pose diverse set of challenges, their integration severely expands the set of open research problems for seamless, efficient, and reliable communication. Therefore, there exists an urgent need for a significant research effort to focus on solving these new challenges posed by the integration and the convergence of these wireless heterogeneous networks. The objective of ConWiN 2005 is to provide a research platform where researchers bring their contributions to light by presenting their technical papers on the issues regarding the integration and the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks. Papers solicited in ConWiN 2005 spans a wide range of areas of interest including but not limited to: - Physical layer issues for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless communication technologies - Novel and adaptive communication protocols at all layers, i.e., MAC layer problems, routing, reliable and multimedia transport, for integration of diverse wireless systems such as WLANs, 3G, and WSNs - Novel and practical communication architectures for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks - Efficient mobility/handoff management protocols for seamless roaming within the converged communication architecture - Killer applications/services for the convergence towards the NGWI - Security, authentication, and billing solutions for the converged architecture Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline : February 25, 2005 Notification of acceptance : May 1, 2005 Camera-ready version : May 15, 2005 Workshop Date : July 10, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers of no more than 12 pages of IEEE double column format. Manuscript submission should be done electronically via e-mail by sending a pdf version of the manuscript to conwin(a)eee.metu.edu.tr Papers of particular merit will also be published in Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier).
