1st CFP: Context-aware Architectures and Services on Emerging Infrastructures
Special Issue in Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience
Submission Deadline June 30th, 2013
*****************************************************************************
Future information society is full of exciting and new applications and
services, may it be a smart transportation system, an ambient living
environment, or large-scale sensor networks for climate prediction. These
services, among other requirements, rely on context-awareness (e.g. user
behaviors, user intentions, the environmental status/ambience, etc.).
Consequent systems can adapt themselves through resource management or
reconfiguration to achieve specific goals, such as functions, performance,
energy budget and reliability. This area of research is challenging yet
instrumental for the incoming digital era.
This special issue gather innovative works on context-aware architectures
(hardware, software, middleware or hybrid), applications and services on
emerging computing and communication systems. A broad range of such systems
are relevant, including (but not limited to) cloud computing, pervasive sensor
networks, parallel and distributed systems, adaptive wireless communication,
cooperative networks, etc. Context-awareness can be designed for improving
performance, user experience, energy-efficiency, QoS (quality of services),
dependability or other desirable features foreseeable in the future.
Topics of interest (non-exclusive)
* System architectures, modeling and simulation, in-the-field test
* Ubiquitous and/or cognitive radio sensor networks, cooperative diversity
techniques in wireless sensor networks
* Context-aware energy saving techniques on wireless communication systems
* Context-aware security systems, mobile systems, etc.
* Contextual and situational models, situation awareness
* Requirements engineering, and model-driven development
* Resource management and run-time reconfiguration of massively parallel
computers
* Adaptive energy-performance tradeoff on multi-/many-core processors
