It is the mission of IFIP DL to support a free and non-restrictive flow of communication from IFIP to its members and fellows, hence IFIP DL shall finally contain all IFIP Publications for FREE access and free download (the database will suitably be updated). For those publications under the Springer contract, a reference to SpringerLink will be included from where you can then freely access the related conference proceedings. As Publication Committee will analyse the operation and further requirements for IFIP DL, as well as business models how to cover the costs, it would be very helpful if you report your impressions, findings and suggestions to Publication Committee Chair, Prof. Joe Turner (turner(a)cs.clemson.edu). Based on a related suggestion of Publications Committee, a decision on IFIP DL will be taken at GA-2006 in Santiago de Chile. Concerning malfunctions, please report them to Eduard Dundler in IFIP secretariat, and we will try to correct them ASAP. You will find "experimental (IFIP) Digital Library" on the IFIP website (top, right side): http://www.ifip.org.

============================================================================ With our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 31, 2006 First Workshop on Location Based Services for Health Care http://www.locare.org <http://www.locare.org/> part of the Pervasive Healthcare Conference 2006 Innsbruck, Austria 28th November, 2006 IMPORTANT DATES Papers due (new date): July 31, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: August 25, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: September 14, 2006 Workshop Date: November 28, 2006 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Location is an important contextual dimension for ubiquitous computing, and it is central to the development of many ubiquitous systems. The problem of location in opened places is well addressed by Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies, while inference of places from locations is an opened issue with various interesting approaches being developed. Indoor location is also a demanding problem and various approaches are being studied nowadays. Development of solutions for these issues, showing good precision, accuracy, and adequacy is of central interest for Location Based Services (LBS). The area of Health Care is a main target for progress in this area. This workshop will bring an exciting environment for discussion and presentation of late breaking developments on all these subjects with emphasis on Health Care applications. It will comprise the presentations and discussion of scientific papers, a keynote speech, and a panel session. Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to LBS and Healthcare, including but not limited to: * Technologies and infrastructures for location. * Inference of place from position. * Design, implementation and evaluation of location based services. * Location based services for Health Care scenarios * Privacy, security and trust issues. SUBMISSION DETAILS Ten to fifteen participants will be invited based on a position paper submitted prior to the workshop. Each position paper should be two to five pages in length and consist of the author's current research on location systems and/or location based services for healthcare. Paper submissions should attach a short text on author's current research activities, expectations towards the workshop, and a short bio. Position papers should follow IEEE's conference style two-column format including figures and references.

Call-For-Papers: The Second IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive Computing and Ad Hoc Communications (PCAC-07)
by Agustinus Borgy Waluyo 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================= The Second IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive Computing and Ad Hoc Communications (PCAC-07) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 21th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-07),Niagara Falls, Canada, May 21-23, 2007 ================================================================= Aims and Scopes --------------------- Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and communication environment with the aim of providing services anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing and support group communications, pervasive computing devices should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking. With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to services and applications can be achieved while providing mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration, scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid wired/wireless environment. This symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to present their current research results and discuss future trends in pervasive computing and ad hoc communications. Topics of Interest --------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Pervasive computing architectures - Wearable computers - Smart devices and smart spaces - Location-dependent and personalized applications - Service discovery mechanisms - Agent technologies - Mobility management - Sensors and actuators - Resource management - Embedded systems - Device and service interaction - Location-aware services - Middleware for pervasive computing - Middleware fro ad hoc computing - Hardware, OS and convergence issues - Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems - Positioning and tracking technologies - Identification and authentication technologies - Social Issues and Implications of pervasive computing - Data management infrastructure and algorithms - Caching and prefetching strategies - Resource discovery - Ad hoc communication and networking - Group communication and management - Ad hoc computing - User interfaces and interaction models - Prototyping and performance evaluation - Personal Area networks - Integration of wired and wireless networks - Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, and 802.20 - Context based and implicit computing - Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Wireless Mesh Network Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------------ The manuscript should follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text.

This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================== The Second IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive Computing and Ad Hoc Communications (PCAC-07) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 21th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-07),Niagara Falls, Canada, May 21-23, 2007 ================================================================== Aims and Scopes -------------------- Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and communication environment with the aim of providing services anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing and support group communications, pervasive computing devices should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking. With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to services and applications can be achieved while providing mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration, scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid wired/wireless environment.
