Second IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous System
ADAMUS 2008
In conjunction with the 8th Int. Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'08) Newport Beach, CA, USA, 23rd June, 2008
---- WoWMoM web site : http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS'08 cfp pdf : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/CFP_adamus08.pdf
WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain novel ubiquitous services with challenging dependa- bility requirements in highly heterogeneous and error-prone mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for sup- porting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the challenging adapta- bility and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance.
Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise con- ceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost- effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services.
Building on the success of the last year event, this workshop aims at fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions in order to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependable and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infrastructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiqui- tous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adapta- tion to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services.
PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------------------------------------------------------- ADAMUS 2008 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will regi- ster and present the paper. Accepted papers will appear in the WoWMoM'08 Workshops proceedings published on CD by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
