Please note that this holds for *registered* events. Many TC6 events
are not listed (since we never received an event request form).
The same holds for event report forms and - even more - for the payment

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
==============================
CALL FOR PAPERS
Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due
to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems
allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes
them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much
ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level
self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant
challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and
analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust
realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number
of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory
limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent
failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and
implementation.
The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in
large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications,
and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related
contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that
demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed
sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Computation and programming models
- Energy models, minimization, awareness
- Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing
- Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness,
scalability, fault-tolerance
- Abstractions for modular design
- Languages, operating systems
- Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration
- Dynamic resource management
- Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level)
- Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives
- Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment
and operation
- Design automation and application synthesis techniques
- Case studies: lessons from real world deployments

WRS06
The Sixth International Workshop on
Reduction Strategies in Rewriting and Programming
http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~antoy/wrs06/
The Seattle Sheraton Hotel and Towers,
Seattle, Washington, August 11, 2006
Scope
The workshop intends to promote and stimulate international
research and collaboration in the area of evaluation
strategies. It encourages the presentation of new
directions,developments and results as well as surveys and
tutorials on existing knowledge in this area. Reduction strategies
study which subexpression(s) of an expression should be
selected for evaluation and which rule(s) should be applied. These
choices affect fundamental properties of a computation such as
laziness, strictness, completeness and need to name a few. For this
reason some programming languages, e.g., Elan, Maude, *OBJ* and
Stratego, allow the explicit definition of the evaluation
strategy, whereas other languages,e.g., Clean, Curry, and Haskell,
allow its modification. Strategies pose challenging theoretical
problems and play an important role in practical tools such as
theorem provers, model checkers and programming languages. In
implementations of languages, strategies bridge the gap between
operational principles, e.g., graph and term rewriting,narrowing
and lambda-calculus, and semantics, e.g., normalization,
computation of values and head-normalization. The previous
editions of the workshop were: WRS 2001 (Utrecht, The
Netherlands),WRS 2002 (Copenhagen, Denmark), WRS 2003 (Valencia,
Spain), WRS 2004 (Aachen, Germany), and WRS 2005 (Nara,
Japan). See also the WRS permanent page at

rewriting, infinitary rewriting, lambda calculi, higher order
rewriting, conditional rewriting, rewriting with built-ins,
narrowing, constraint solving, etc.
o application of strategies to equational, functional,
functional-logic programming languages
o properties of reduction strategies and corresponding computations,
e.g., completeness, computability, decidability, complexity,
optimality, normalization, cofinality, fairness, perpetuality,
context-freedom, need, laziness, eagerness, strictness
o interrelations, combinations and applications of reduction under
different strategies, e.g., evaluation mechanisms in programming
languages, equivalence conditions for fundamental properties like
termination and confluence, applications in modularity analysis,
connections between strategies of different frameworks,etc.
o program analysis and other semantics-based optimization
techniques dealing with reduction strategies
o rewrite systems, tools, implementations with flexible or
programmable strategies as an essential concept or ingredient
o specification of reduction strategies in real languages
strategies suitable to software engineering problems and
applications tutorials and systems related to evaluation
strategies

MOBIQUITOUS 2006
Sponsored by Create-Net and ICST
The Third Annual International Conference on
Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Service
http://www.mobiquitous.org
July 17 - 21, 2006 San Jose, California, USA
In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE
Pending Sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society
The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The Third Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous-06) will cover all these aspects, providing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing.
PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The conference is interested in contributions addressing all the areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous architectures, infrastructure, data and services. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics:
* Ubiquitous architectures and systems
* Wearable computing and personal area networks
* Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi)
* Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems
* Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks
* Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms
* Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
* Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
* Peer-to-peer computing and networking
* Emerging industrial/business/scientific scenarios
* Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)
* Smart spaces
* Ad hoc and sensor networks
* Location-based services and tracking
* Context and location aware application
