CALL FOR PAPERS

== Overview ==
As mobile computing is more and more widespread, mobility support for
Internet devices becomes very important. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising
technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless
mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile
communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been
observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if
mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and
global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as
Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been
proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6
(PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility
management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in
the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the
challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM,
which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop
will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to
discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In
addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely
related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and
NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will
be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in
this important subject.

2nd International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence
In conjunction with PDCAT'09
http://www.cs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/pdcat09/
December 8-11, 2009, Hiroshima, Japan

Call for Papers
Sensors are windows to the physical world for ambient intelligence (AmI)
applications. The recent emergence of networked sensors as a result of rapid
advances in sensor technologies and wireless networks, have set the stage
for the realization of smart environments where unobtrusive sensors, either
embedded or transportable by mobile carriers, enables fine-grain capture of
environmental or ambient information that provides the basis of intelligence
for higher-order cognitive systems, i.e. systems with capabilities to
perceive, reason, learn, and react intelligently to their environment. Such
systems in turn are envisioned to have wide ranging applications from
intelligent wildlife and building structure monitoring to humanistic and
social endevours such as health and elderly care service provisioning.

Following the success of the first SeNAmI at PDCAT 2008 in Dunedin, New
Zealand, this workshop once again aims to bring together researchers from
academia and industry to present and discuss recent trends and advances in
sensor networks and ambient intelligence, and from such engagement foster
innovations towards technology maturity of sensor-based ambient intelligence
systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Cognitive wireless sensor networks
- Cooperative sensor localization and target tracking
- Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
- Cross-layer design and optimization of sensor-based AmI systems
- Intelligent agents for autonomous sensor network management
- Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
- Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
- Security, trust, and privacy for autonomous smart spaces
- Nature or bio-inspired designs for ambient sensing and intelligence
- AmI architectures, platforms, applications, and services
- Prototype or testbed implementation and deployment trials

Manuscript submission
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience
are solicited. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via
EasyChair. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society proceedings guidelines to
prepare your papers. Maximum page length will be limited to 6 pages.
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings of PDCAT'09,
which will be published by IEEE Computer Society and automatically included
in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The proceedings will also be cited by

[Mycolleagues] [CFP] ICDM Workshop: 1st International Workshop on Internet Multimedia Mining (2009) - Dec 6 2009, Miami, Florida, USA

--------------------------------------------------------------------

                          *CALL FOR PAPERS*

                    1st International Workshop on:

 

                     *INTERNET MULTIMEDIA MINING*

                        (with dataset support)

             http://research.microsoft.com/~xshua/imm2009

 

In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 2009

                  December 6, Miami, Florida, USA

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-------------------------

*Aims and Scope*

-------------------------

With the explosion of video and image data available on the Internet, online multimedia applications become more and more important. Moreover, mining semantics and other useful information from large-scale Internet multimedia data to facilitate online and local multimedia content analysis, search and other related applications has also gained more and more attention from both academia and industry. On the one hand, the rapid increase of online multimedia data brings new challenges to multimedia content analysis, multimedia retrieval and related multimedia applications, especially in scalability. Both computation cost and performance of many existing techniques are far from satisfactory. On the other hand, Internet also provides us with new opportunities to attack these challenges as well as conventional problems encountered in multimedia mining, content analysis, image/video understanding and computer vision. That is, the massive associated metadata, context and social information available on the Internet, as well as the massive grassroots Internet users, are invaluable resources that can be leveraged to solve the aforementioned difficulties.

 

Recently more and more researchers are realizing both the challenges and the opportunities for multimedia research brought by the Internet. This workshop aims at bringing together high-quality and novel research works on "Internet Multimedia Mining".

 

One of the major obstacles of "Internet Multimedia Mining" research is the difficulty in  forming a "good" dataset for algorithm developing, system prototyping and performance evaluation. Together with this workshop, we release a benchmark dataset, which is based on real Internet multimedia data and real Internet multimedia search engines.

Submissions to this workshop are encouraged to use this dataset, but papers/demos working on other Internet-based datasets are also welcome.

 

-------------------------

*MSRA Multimedia Dataset*

-------------------------

MSRA-MM Version 1 dataset is ready for shipping. Detailed information about the dataset can be found at:

http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=79942. Please contact the dataset chair (Meng Wang: mm_data@microsoft.com) to request the data.

 

MSRA-MM Version 2 dataset (10 times larger with more metadata) will be ready around June 15. Please submit your request to the dataset chair.

 

-------------------------

*Topics of Interest*

-------------------------

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

 

     * Internet video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by combining textual description and video/image content.

     * General video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by exploiting Internet data and/or users.

     Approaches which can handle large-scale data/users are more preferred.

     * Video/image/audio processing and analyses using Internet data as a knowledge base.

     * Social media processing, such as online media authoring and sharing, tag recommendation, tag filtering, tag ranking, and search ranking based on image/video/audio social context.

     * Knowledge mining from Internet multimedia data, such as mining semantic distance of keywords or images, mining video/image/audio copy relationships (e.g., given a video/image/audio, to find all videos/images on the Internet that have the same content with the video/image, either entirely or partially), mining trends of multimedia consuming/sharing, mining knowledge (for example, "photo encyclopedia"", from massive amount of multimedia content on the Internet, etc.

     * Web-scale content-based multimedia retrieval (for example, approaches based on large-scale high-dimensional feature indexing).

     * Other online multimedia mining applications, such as multimedia advertising, multimedia recommendation, as well as location/GPS/geography-enabled multimedia, multimedia sensor network over the Internet, etc.

 

-------------------------

*Paper Submission*

-------------------------

We accept two forms of submissions: regular full papers and demonstrations. Regular submissions for this workshop are required to use the same format as regular ICDM long papers (a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format). And demonstration submission requires a 1- or 2-page demo description. We especially encourage long-paper authors to submit a demo also. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least

3 members of the program committee. Extended version of selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal in data mining or multimedia area. Paper submission site:

Introduction

Pervasive Computing (or ubiquitous computing) is a rapidly developing
research area cross various disciplines including

computer science, electronic engineering, mobile and wireless
communications, etc. The growing availability of

microprocessors with built-in communications facilities makes it possible
for people to obtain information and services

anytime and anywhere. Pervasive computing could have a range of applications
such as healthcare, homecare, intelligent

transportation, and environmental monitoring. However, it is quite difficult
for pervasive applications to satisfy trust,

security and privacy requirements, as a result of their ability to gather
sensitive data and change the environment via

actuating devices autonomously.


Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20,
2008, "The 2009 IEEE International Symposium on

Trust, Security and Privacy for Pervasive Applications" (TSP-09) will be
held in Macau SAR, China during October 5-7, 2009,

in conjunction with "The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc
and Sensor Systems" (IEEE MASS 2009), aims at

bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on
trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as

technical, social and cultural implications for pervasive devices, services,
networks, applications and systems, and

providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends
in this highly challenging research area.


Scope and Interests

TSP-09 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging
ideas and trends in trust, security and privacy for

pervasive applications from both the research community as well as the
industry. Topics of interest include, but are not

limited to:

(1) Trust, Security and Privacy (TSP) metrics and architectures for
pervasive computing
(2) Trust management in pervasive environment
(3) Risk management in pervasive environment
(4) Security and privacy protection in pervasive environment
(5) Security and privacy in mobile and wireless communications
(6) Security and privacy for databases in pervasive environment
(7) Safety and user experiences in pervasive environment
(8) TSP-aware social and cultural implications in pervasive environment
(9) Cryptographic devices for pervasive computing
(10) Biometric authentication for pervasive devices
(11) Security for embedded software and systems
(12) TSP-aware middleware design for pervasive services
(13) TSP-aware case studies on pervasive applications/systems
(14) Key management in pervasive applications/systems
(15) Authentication in pervasive applications/systems
(16) Audit and accountability in pervasive applications/systems
(17) Access control in pervasive applications/systems
(18) Anonymity in pervasive applications/systems
(19) Reliability and fault tolerance in pervasive applications/systems
(20) Miscellaneous issues in pervasive devices, services, applications, and

[Tccc] CFP: Final Call for IEEE SenseApp (submission deadline: 1st June 2009)

Apologies if duplicated
__________________________________________________________________________________

SENSEAPP 2009
FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN
BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009)
Zurich, Switzerland
20 - 23 October 2009
Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp


CALL FOR PAPERS

Extended Paper Submission Deadline: 1 June 2009 (paper registration
deadline is the same as final submission date)

Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing,
computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are
deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process
information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics,
seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical
world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a
variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision
agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain
management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic
implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained
in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research
community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when
designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor
networks.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and
industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the
workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community
to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of
wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions
describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
Innovative sensor network applications
Participatory sensing
Middleware support for sensor networks
Programming and debugging sensor networks
Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
Experiences with new sensor hardware
Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
Experiences with communication protocols
Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network
deployments
Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
Configuration and installation support
Management of large-scale sensor networks
Interconnection between IP and sensor networks

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the
field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with
those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the
IEEE Explore Digital Library.
