ICST - MOBIQUITOUS 2007 -- CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

von info＠icstconferences.org

======================================================================== CALL FOR WORKSHOPS MOBIQUITOUS 2007 The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services http://www.mobiquitous.org August 6-10, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA Co-sponsored by Create-Net and ICST In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE ======================================================================== The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm. Through the use of mobile devices and devices embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful 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. The proceedings will be published by IEEE and accepted papers will be available in HYPERLINK "http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/DynWel.jsp" in IEEE Xplore. Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to mobile and ubiquitous systems: computing, networking and services. Proposals for workshops should be at most four pages in length and should be submitted to Dr. Suman Banerjee (suman at cs.wisc.edu) by February 1, 2007. More information can be found in http://www.mobiquitous.org. Workshop Proposal Deadline: February 1, 2007 Paper Registration Deadline: March 13, 2007 Paper Submission Deadline: March 20, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: May 4, 2007 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: June 4, 2007 -------------------------------------------------- You are reading ICST conference newsletter.

Call for Papers SASO 2007 International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Boston, Mass., USA, July 9-11, 2007 http://projects.csail.mit.edu/saso2007/ Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Task Force on Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (approval pending) in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS (approval pending) and ISCE Research The complexity of current computer systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence or biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top-down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. Self-organizing systems work bottom-up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions, and it is difficult to deduce properties of the global system by studying only the local properties of its parts. This edition of SASO will focus on engineering, as opposed to speculative and conjectural visions. Contributions should present novel theoretical results, or practical experience with building systems, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics o Self-* properties: - self-organization - self-adaptiveness - self-management - self-monitoring - self-tuning - self-repair - self-configuration - etc. o Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems o Management and control of self-* systems o Robustness and dependability of self-* systems o Engineering and control of emergent properties in self-* systems o Biologically and socially inspired self-* systems Systems & Technologies o P2P applications o Mobile robots o Sensor networks o Mobile ad hoc networks o Grids o Embedded systems, ubiquitous computing o Autonomic computing, autonomic communications o Computer networks, telecommunication networks o Multi-agent systems o E-business systems and services o Complex adaptive systems Research Communities o Distributed artificial intelligence o Networking o Software engineering o Distributed systems o Integrated management o Robotics o Knowledge-based systems o Machine learning o Control theory o Mathematical optimization Organization General Co-Chairs: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Howard E.

Second CFP: IPSN 2007 Workshop Data Sharing and Interoperability on the World-wide Sensor Web (DSI'07)

von Ying Zhang

************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S IPSN 2007 Workshop Data Sharing and Interoperability on the World-wide Sensor Web (DSI'07) (http://research.microsoft.com/~sumann/DSI07) April 24, 2007, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (co-located with IPSN 2007, http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~lu/ipsn07.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last five years, the research community supporting embedded sensing has benefited from the experiences of numerous real-world deployments. Actual scientific applications are on the rise, and a number of new environmental observatories are moving from planning to implementation (NEON, WATERS). In parallel, we have seen an expansion in the use smartphones and other consumer devices, supported by the cellular network and capable of capturing acoustics and images, creating a host of citizen-initiated sensing projects (e.g., videothevote.org). While many algorithms for networking and control of embedded sensing platforms anticipate within-deployment scaling of observational resources, the introduction of diverse environmental observatories and the variety of new urban applications suggests that interoperability, and for the purpose of this workshop the ``sharing" of data and models, represents another, equally important, kind of scaling. In this workshop, we focus directly on the implications of widely shared sensor data, models and algorithms, and the systems that might support this. Simply put, data is the raison d'etre of any sensing exercise. While few researchers in the field would argue the point, too much attention has been paid to the networking of distributed sensing and not enough emphasis has been placed on the tools to manage, share, analyze, and understand the data. Hosted in coordination with IPSN (emphasizing algorithms for communications, coding theory, and distributed estimation) and SPOTS (focusing on hardware and complete platforms), this workshop will examine the various uses of data associated with embedded sensing. Topics of interest (but not limited to): - Data interoperability - Data Semantics - Extracting information from data and sensor data fusion - Managing data uncertainty - Systems for data integrity - Modeling sensor data - Managing spatial and temporal data (e.g., indexing, caching, query processing, etc.) - Automated or semi-automated processing of ad-hoc sensor data - Architecture to connect multiple sensor deployments together - Data visualization - Mash-up applications (the ability to pull in data/tools from multiple places and render it at a client) and workflows Submissions: Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 6 pages (standard IEEE proceedings two-column format), including figures, tables, and references in PDF that include contact information of all the authors. If you have any questions regarding the submission process, please send e-mail to either Mark Hansen (cocteau(a)stat.ucla.edu) or Suman Nath (sumann(a)microsoft.com).
