CALL FOR PAPERS
Aims and Scope
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First International Workshop on Advanced Topics in Mobile Computing
for Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms (MCEM
2009) will be held in conjunction with IWCMC 2009. The "International
Workshop on Advanced Topics in Mobile Computing for Emergency
Management: Communication and Computing Platforms (MCEM 2009)" provides
a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and
government to present their latest research findings in Computer and
communication technologies with a particular attention to Emergency
Management.
In this workshop, we explore fundamental questions regarding the modern
approach to emergency management, taking into accounts the advantages of
modern elaboration architectures. In particular the joint approach of
grid computing and heterogeneous networking represent one of the most
interesting approaches for managing emergency situations.
Areas of Interest
------------------------------------------------------------------
The areas of interest for First International Workshop on Advanced
Topics in Mobile Computing for Emergency Management: Communication and
Computing Platforms (MCEM 2009) include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- Wireless communication for emergency management
- Communication infrastructure
- Heterogeneous networking
- Resource allocations in wireless broadband area networks
- Cognitive radio
- Mobile grids
- Programming models and environments
- Application development methodologies and tools
- Context-Awareness
- Self-awareness (QoS and adaptivity)
- Adaptivity in Computations and Communications
- Integration of communication and computing
- Demo and field trials
The purpose of this workshop is to stimulate the study of joint
approaches to computing and communication for managing complex
situations with a particular focus on emergency management.
