SCOPE

The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where multimedia, physical layer and networking issues are addressed jointly. Multimedia semantic characteristics, human interpretation of audiovisual information, extraction and usage of semantic information, coding standards and their interaction with transmission and networking aspects, mobility and security protocols are research challenges that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that will be enabled by the new standards for mobile networking, such as triple services for mobile networks, digital television in a converged environment, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services, context aware services, emergency and healthcare applications, and immersive communications in virtual environments. The efficient delivery of multimedia applications and services over emerging diver
se and heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging research objective. The research effort for the 4G vision of interworking among heterogeneous technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia QoS characteristics etc., amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions and restrictions under which the delivery of such services can be accomplished. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers from industry and academia, working in multimedia coding, mobile communications and networking fields, to study new technologies, applications and standards.

[Mycolleagues] SEKE 2009 - Special Session: Interoperability and Semantic Web Technologies

My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP

CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interoperability and Semantic Web Technologies
Special Session in SEKE 2009

The 21st International Conference on Software Engineering and
Knowledge Engineering (SEKE'09)
Hyatt Harborside at Logan Int'l Airport, Boston, USA
(URL: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke09.html)

According to the IEEE, interoperability is the ability of two or more
systems or components to exchange information and to use this
information. Correctly performing these two actions, "exchange" and
"use", is one of the main challenges for the current and future Web in
order to be able not only to share information but also meaning.
Systems should be able to interchange the dynamic Web content in a
dynamic way, taking into account the influence of technical and
organizational issues in interoperability. Nevertheless,
interoperability is highly affected by heterogeneity, both at the
system and at the information level, and the open scenario of the Web
makes unfeasible to use common terminology or presentation languages.

The aim of this special session is to provide a forum for both
researchers and practitioners to discuss the most recent advances in
Semantic Web interoperability, from both a theoretical and a practical
perspective. The special session invites professionals from
universities and industry responsible for, involved in, or interested
in semantic interoperability to present and share new ideas,
innovations, trends, experiences, and concerns. Possible special
session topics include but are not limited to:

*Knowledge sharing in the Web
*Requirements for semantic interoperability
*Semantic infrastructure interoperability
*Semantic interoperability approaches
*Ontology-based interoperability
*Interoperability using Semantic Web Services
*Interoperability via information integration
*Interoperability with non-semantic data (databases, folksonomies)
*Interoperability and standards
*Interoperability use cases
*Interoperability evaluation and benchmarking

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

If you submit your paper(s) to the special session, please select the
"Garcia-Castro, Interoperability and Semantic Web technologies" in the
"Paper Type" menu appeared in the Paper Submission Form.

[Mycolleagues] CFP - 2nd extension: Specialized Ad Hoc Networks & Systems (SAHNS) workshop at ICDCS 2009

                       CALL FOR PAPERS

>>>>> Extended again - submission deadline: February 6, 2009 <<<<<
==================================================================
                         SAHNS 2009
            The Second International Workshop on
           Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems
               Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009
         http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/

  In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference
        on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SCOPE

The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in
academia, industry and government to present their latest research
findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems.

As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area
of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the
application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network
and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient
specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for
building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications
or even individual applications.

We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized
ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc
networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of
specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc
networks.

It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions
specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is
not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc
networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad
subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop
is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or
all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions
for their application-oriented subclasses.

One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area
Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can
be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or
"nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for
an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or
a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource
utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to
a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have
needed resources or services.

Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited
to:

a) Design issues for SAHNS:
   o Novel network and system architectures
   o Economically-based models and solutions
   o Operating systems and middleware
   o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols)
   o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery)
   o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management
   o Privacy, security, and trust
   o Reliability and dependability
   o Novel hardware platforms

b) Development issues for SAHNS:
   o Development methodologies, models and tools
   o Analytical and validation models
   o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools)

c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS:
   o Topology control and management
   o Energy control and management
   o Resource and service discovery and control
   o QoS provisioning and management
   o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and
     query processing
   o Assuring survivability and reliability
   o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management

d) Application issues for SAHNS:
   o Best current and future applications for SAHNS
   o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products
   o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications

2. PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages.
They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer
Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10
point or larger font, single-spaced).

The following information must be provided on the first page:
   o Paper title
   o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors

     corresponding author

Papers should be submitted by emailing them to:
                     llilien@cs.wmich.edu
Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two
workdays.

3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING

Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their
comments will be provided to the authors.

If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings
by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of
its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early
registration deadline.

WORLDCOMP is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer
science, computer engineering and applied computing.

The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
topics into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at
a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of
ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used
facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world
in different fields of bioinformatics, computational biology, computer
science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward
research and outward research will be covered during BIOCOMP'09.

BIOCOMP'09 and WORLDCOMP'09 will be composed of research presentations,
keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions,
and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial
speakers included: Prof. David A. Patterson (U. of California,
Berkeley); Prof. Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland
(U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor); Prof. Brian D. Athey (U. of Michigan,
Ann Arbor), Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.); Prof. Barry Vercoe
(MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California, Berkeley);
Prof. Jun Liu (Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys (OLPC + developer of X
Window); Dr. Chris Rowen (President and CEO, Tensilica, Inc.); and
many other distinguished speakers.

LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is
a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000
rooms. It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle
service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational
attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy
River, wave pool, lighted tennis courts, health spa, nightly shows,
a number of restaurants, ... The negotiated room rate for
conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within
walking distance from most other attractions (recreational
destinations, Golf courses, ...)

top margin 1" (25 mm)), to the DMIN'09 online paper submission system
by Feb. 25, 2009. The link to the online submission system will be
available on the DMIN'09 website (www.dmin--2009.com).

The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name
of the conference the paper is being submitted to (i.e., DMIN'09).
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author
and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.

To reflect upon feedback from last year we will extend the feedback
given within the review in aligning them with the IEEE guidelines
for IJCNN and WCCI. In particular, we aim at a fair, objective and
transparent review process. Therefore, we are publishing the review
criteria to further support the reviews provided (see
www.dmin--2009.com).
Papers will be evaluated for relevance to DMIN, originality,
significance, information content, clarity, and soundness on an
international level. Each aspect will be evaluated on a scale of
1 (bad - reject) to 10 (excellent - accept) or 10%-100%. Papers
need to achieve at least 50% overall score to be accepted without
mandatory revisions. Each paper will be refereed by at least two
researchers in the topical area, and all reviews are being considered
for the acceptance/rejection decision. Each reviewer can indicate
their expertise and therefore their relative confidence in a
particular recommendation. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed
by one person.

We particularly encourage submissions of industrial applications and
case studies from practitioners. To reflect the requirements of an
application or project centric case study presentation, these will
be subject to different review criteria. In particular, they will
not be evaluated using predominantly theoretical research criteria
of originality etc., but will take general interest and presentation
stronger into consideration. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed
by one person.

OVERVIEW:
The use of advanced telecommunication technologies for the support of health monitoring, healthcare delivery, and education (commonly referred to as E-Health) is one of the most rapidly growing areas in health research today.

The field of E-Health will permit a fundamental redesign of healthcare processes based on the use and integration of electronic communication at all levels. Therefore, the actors involved in the e-health process are not only the doctors and the patients, as in the past, but also communication scientists and engineers. Hot discussion topics include the use of mobile technologies in healthcare, home automation technologies, telemedicine applications, bioinformatics, and the use of the Internet in healthcare.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from the fields of networking, information systems, sensor technology, as well as individuals working across these various fields (for instance, specialists of Body Area Networks or wearable system design). The main objective is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of solutions in order to share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers from both industry and academia.

Original papers describing completed work or work in progress in the field of E-Health are solicited.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Wearable systems and sensors
• Body Area Networks
• Non implantable sensors for human physiological and vital parameters
• Sensor-based systems and applications for E-Health
• Power Management and energy-efficient design in Wireless Body Area Networks
• Communication systems architecture for E-Health
