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Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited.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.

Announcement and Call for Papers

First International Workshop on Intelligent Vehicular Networks

(InVeNET 2009)

Co-Located with IEEE MASS 2009

(October 5, 2009 - Macau SAR, P.R.C.)

http://www.cs.odu.edu/~mass2009/

Important Dates

- Submission Due: May 31, 2009

- Acceptance Notification: June 30, 2009

- Final Manuscript due: July 31, 2009

The last few years have witnessed an unmistable converge of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) and Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANET)
leading to the emergence of Intelligent Vehicular Networks (InVeNET)
that promise to revolutionize the way we drive by creating a ubiquitous
safe and secure environment that will eventually pervade our highways
and city streets.

InVeNET 2009 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that
brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design,
specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for
current and future applications of VANET. We aim to provide an
environment conducive of cross-fertilization between researchers from
many areas, all relevant, in one way or another to the confluence of
Intelligent Transportation Systems and VANET. By creative a relaxed,
collegial atmosphere, the will foster a dialogue between researchers
from industry and academia on the state of the art in both ITS and VANET.

We anticipate the publication of a special issue of a high-quality
archival journal (IEEE Transactions of Parallel and Distributed Systems,
or IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology being likely candidates)
dedicated to selected papers from the workshop.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original unpublished
manuscripts related to the theory or practice of Intelligent Vehicular
Networks.

Of particular interest are ITS applications that rely directly or
indirectly on contributions from VANET. Submissions are being accepted
with the understanding that they describe original research, neither
published nor currently under review elsewhere.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Vehicular network architectures and protocols

- Mobility management and topology control

- Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis

CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web -- Call for Papers

2009-01-13T03:26:05Z

[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this
call for paper]

============================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

=============================================================

1st International Workshop on
Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web
(SPOT 2009)
http://spot2009.semanticweb.org

in conjunction with
The 6th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2009)

Heraklion, Greece
Mai 31st or June 1st, 2009

Workshop goals
-------------------------

Semantic Web technologies have reached a status where they
influence our daily lives. On the one hand, applications for
sharing semantically annotated pictures, blogs, and videos and
semantic-enhanced social networking platforms are present. On
the other hand, the so-called Web of Data with its thousands
of billions of triples is leaving its research prototype status.
Applications using Semantic Web technologies start to arise
and to be used by a large number of users. However, although
trust and privacy play a crucial role in its final development
and adoption, in most of the running systems and research
prototypes no or not sufficient solutions to address these
topics are considered. The Semantic Web as well as the Social
Web has reached a state where those issues have to be addressed
seriously in order to become reality. As the Semantic Web goes
mainstream, especially through its Social aspect, it is time
for the community to gather around that topic.

SPOT09 will be held at the European Semantic Web Conference
2009.It will bring together, among others, researchers and
developers from the field of Semantic Web, the Social Web,
and trust and privacy enforcement. It provides the
opportunity to discuss and analyze important requirements
and open research issues for a trustful Semantic Web.
We welcome both, theoretical and application oriented
results, concerning how trust can be ensured in an open
system like the Social Semantic Web as well as how Semantic
Web technologies can be used or have to be extended in order
to serve for privacy issues. We also plan to include a
specific time slot for case studies and system demonstrations.

Workshop topics
-------------------------

Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Trust and Privacy on the Semantic Web:
* Ontologies for trust and privacy
* Data provenance and trustworthiness of knowledge sources
* Semantic web policies
* Privacy by generalization of answers
* Usage control and accountability
* Trust-enabled linked data
* Policy representation and reasoning

2. Trust and Privacy for Social Semantic Web Applications:
* Trust and privacy in social online communities (e.g., SIOC)
* Privacy in Semantic Web sharing applications
(e.g.,semantic desktop)
* User profiling and modeling vs. privacy
* Privacy and community mining
* Trust and reputation metrics
* Usage mining and policy extraction
* Privacy awareness in social communities
* The Semantic Web as a trust enabler

3. Applications and Case Studies:
* Social Semantic Web case studies,
prototypes, and experiences
* Trust and privacy on social semantic platforms
* Social network annoyance, social software fatigue,
social spam
* Managing information overload in the Social Web with
privacy metrics
* Trust and privacy for social software on mobile devices
* Scalability of trust and privacy on the Semantic Web

Workshop organization
-------------------------

The workshop will consist of presentations of Research
Papers by their authors, a Demos and Application
session, as well as a Lightning Talk session in which
we encourage late-breaking, provocative discussions
and presentations. An invited speaker will also give
an opening keynote in the morning. The event will be
followed by a social event in order to foster
discussions and collaboration between workshop
attendees.

Submission guidelines:
--------------------------

We expect different kind of submissions

* Research Papers:
- Full technical papers, up to 12 pages
- Short technical papers, up to 6 pages
* Demos and Applications:
- 2 pages + demo
* Lightning Talks:
- 1 slide and 3 min

Papers will have to be formatted using the Springer Publications
format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions
for papers and demo descriptions will be made using the
EasyChair Conference System, and proceedings of the papers
will be published with CEUR-WS.

We very welcome research papers focusing on theoretical work as
well as applications regarding the benefits of Semantic Web
technologies to solve these issues. The papers should
clearly define the motivation of the work with relevant
scenarios and should also provide a clear overview and
evaluation of the benefits of the proposed approaches.
Lightnight Talks submissions will be open a week before the
workshop and people will be allowed to register until the
first break of the afternoon. For submission details,
please refer to the workshop website.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ROSOC-M 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan

Submission deadline: February 1, 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on the Role of Services, Ontologies, and Context in Mobile Environments
(RoSOC-M'09)
http://events.sti2.at/RoSOC-M/
May 19, 2009

in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Mobile Data Management
(MDM'09)
http://adslab.cs.nctu.edu.tw/mdm2009/
May 18-21, 2009, Taipei, Taiwan
--------------------------------------------------------

THEME OF THE WORKSHOP

The theme of the workshop is the intersection of three major trends in today’s
computing:

* mobile computing becomes more and more important. Mobile portable
devices have outnumbered already traditional desktop computers and
will mould the view of computers future generations will have.
* service-oriented computing is viewed by many analysts as the computing
paradigm of the near future. It allows for the dynamic integration of
functionality provided by different parties.
* research on ontologies, in particular in connection with work on the
semantic web and semantic web services allows for machine understandable
description of functionality and for automatic interaction of devices without
the need for human involvement.

The proposed workshop investigates how mobile computing can benefit from
service-orientation and ontologies and vice versa. The vision is to extend the
typically rather limited capabilities of mobile devices by using services offered
by other devices, network providers or third parties. Adding ontologies to this
scenario allows this extension to be transparent to the human user. Further,
some high-end mobile telecom terminals can be called already multimedia
computers due their programmability,processor speed, and gigabytes of memory.
Already in the near future these devices could also utilize ontologies locally during
service provisioning.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Today, computers are changing from big, grey, and noisy things on our desks to
small, portable, and ever-networked devices most of us are carrying around.
This new form of mobility imposes a shift in how we view computers and the way
we work with them.

Services offer the possibility to overcome the limitations of individual mobile
devices by making functionality offered by others available to them on an
“as-needed” basis. Thus, using the service-oriented computing paradigm in
mobile environments will considerably enlarge the variety of accessible
applications and will enable new business opportunities in the mobile space by
delivering integrated functionalities across wireless networks. Network hosted
mobile services will allow mobile operators and third party mobile services
provider to extend their businesses by making their network services available
to a broader audience (e.g. developers, service providers, etc.); device hosted
service will allow great potential for big innovations for applications and
services that can be provided by individual mobile device owners.

These mobile service-oriented systems offer functionalities and behaviors that
can be described, advertised, discovered, and composed by others. Eventually,
they will be able to interoperate even though they have not been designed to
work together. This type of interoperability is based on the ability to
understand other services and reason about their functionalities and behaviors
when necessary. In this respect, mobile service-oriented systems can benefit
from marrying the Semantic Web, which provides the infrastructure for the
extensive usage of distributed knowledge, to be deployed for modeling services
and add meaning, through ontologies, enabling lightweight discovery and
composition of mobile services. The ability to appropriately combine mobility
and semantic grounded data sharing has generated and is continuously triggering
challenging questions in several areas of computer science, engineering and
networking.

A third dimension is added when taking context information into account: Now,
we are no longer dealing with the information system any more, but the real
world is intermingled with the computing and will immediately affect and
interact with the processing of data and communication. Real-world context
information can help to more efficiently exploit the limited resources in
mobile environments by supporting better ways to provide data relevant to the
user, to enable improved interoperability with the environment and with other
mobile users, and to decide when and how to process data.

So far, the contextual and semantic aspects of mobile environments have
received insufficient attention from the research community as the specific
intricacies and resource issues of mobile environments have not been considered
and in mobile data management only limited attention has been paid to context
and semantics. In this workshop we plan to address the interdisciplinary issues
of the domain and bring together researchers and industry attendees from mobile
data management, knowledge management/semantics, distributed systems,
service-oriented computing, and software engineering to discuss the common
interests, share and exchange expertise and results, appreciate each other's
results and contributions. The long-term goal is to provide application
developers with facilities (middleware, infrastructures, agent systems, service
platforms, etc.) that enable the development and deployment of context-aware
applications in mobile and pervasive environments.

The RoSOC-M '09 workshop is a follow-up edition of the RoSOC-M '08 workshop,
which in turn was a joint event of the previous MoSO and MCISME workshop
series: MoSO'07, MCISME'07, MoSO'06, MCISME'06.

CFP: Multimodality in Mobile Computing and Mobile Devices

2008-08-04T08:19:10Z

[apologies for cross-postings]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
Proposal Submission Deadline: September 1, 2008 (extended)

Multimodality in Mobile Computing and Mobile Devices: Methods for
Adaptable Usability

A book edited by Dr. Stan Kurkovsky
Connecticut State University, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
Software applications or computing systems that combine multiple
modalities of input and output are referred to as multimodal. For
example, Apple iPhone combines the capabilities of a traditional
screen & keyboard interface, a touch interface, and a speech interface.
Software running on Apple iPhone should be able to take advantage of
these three modalities of input/output. The objectives of multimodal
systems are two-pronged: to reach a kind of interaction that is closer
to natural interpersonal human communication, and to improve the
dependability of the interaction by employing complementary or redundant
information. Generally, multimodal applications are more adaptable to
the needs of different users in varying contexts. Multimodal
applications have a stronger acceptance potential because they can
generally be accessed in more than one manner (e.g. using speech and web
interface) and by a broader range of users in a varying set of
circumstances.

Objective of the Book
Recognizing that mobile computing is one of the most rapidly growing
areas in the software market, this book will explore the role of
multimodality and multimodal interfaces in the area of mobile
computing. Mobile computing has a very strong potential due to the
extremely high market penetration of mobile and smart phones, high
degree of user interest in and engagement with mobile applications, and
an emerging trend of integrating traditional desktop and online systems
with their mobile counterparts. Multimodal interfaces play a very
important role in improving the accessibility of these applications,
therefore leading to their increased acceptance by the users.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers in industry and academia working in the areas of mobile
computing, human-computer interaction, and interface usability,
graduate and undergraduate students, engineers, and anyone interested in
mobile computing and human-computer interaction.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Multimodal interfaces and human-computer interaction
* Technologies and platforms enabling speech interfaces (VoiceXML, SALT,
etc)
* Technologies and platforms enabling haptic and tactile (touch)
interfaces
* Software and hardware architectures for multimodal interfaces
* Accessibility issues in multimodal interfaces
* User acceptance of multimodal mobile technologies
* Multimedia and multimodality in mobile computing
* Multimodality and mobile games
* Multimodality and mobile entertainment
* Multimodality and mobile commerce
* Service-oriented architectures (SOA) as an enabler of multimodal
access to shared resources
* Multimodal and multichannel mobile applications
* Media convergence and its role in mobile computing and multimodality
* Design strategies for multimodal interfaces for mobile devices
* Security and privacy in mobile applications with multimodal interfaces
* Mobile multimodality in ubiquitous and pervasive computing
* Case studies of existing mobile multimodal applications and devices
* Market conditions and trends for mobile multimodal applications and
devices
* Future trends in development of mobile multimodal applications and
devices

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before
September 1, 2008, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the
mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of
accepted proposals will be notified by September 15, 2008 about the
status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters
are expected to be submitted by October 31, 2008. All submitted
chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Submitted

New Official release of Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers

2008-07-30T01:12:02Z

(sorry for cross-posting, please follow-up on public-mwts@...)

Hello,

The Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group [1] has just released a new
stable version of the "Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers":
http://www.w3.org/2008/06/mobile-test/

The Working Group had published a first version of this back in April:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-mobile/2008Apr/0000.html

In the same spirit as the ACID tests, it combines in a single page tests
for several Web technologies; there are now 16 (up from 12 in the
previous version) of these technologies tested (ranging from
well-deployed to bleeding edge), and some of the tests that already
existed in the previous version have also been improved or corrected
based on the feedback received.

You can learn more about the new version in the blog post at:
http://www.w3.org/blog/MWITeam/2008/07/30/new_release_of_web_compatibility_test_fo
and get more details on the test itself in its accompanying
documentation at:

In conjuction with PDCAT08
http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/pdcat08
December 1-4, 2008, Dunedin, New Zealand

Call for Papers
Sensor networks is an enabling technology of Ambient Intelligence. The pervasive nature of unobtrusive sensors distributed in the environment, 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.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss recent research and technology advances in related areas, and from such engagement to foster or stimulate innovations in cross-disciplinary designs and methodologies in the fields of both sensor networks and ambient intelligence. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Cognitive wireless sensor networks
- Cooperative and distributed sensor localization
- Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
- Intelligence support for sensor network management
- Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
- Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
- Ambient intelligence system architectures, applications, and services
- Testbed implementation and experimental trials

Multimodality in Mobile Computing and Mobile Devices: Methods for
Adaptable Usability

A book edited by Dr. Stan Kurkovsky
Connecticut State University, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
Software applications or computing systems that combine multiple
modalities of input and output are referred to as multimodal. For
example, Apple iPhone combines the capabilities of a traditional screen
& keyboard interface, a touch interface, and a speech interface.
Software running on Apple iPhone should be able to take advantage of
these three modalities of input/output. The objectives of multimodal
systems are two-pronged: to reach a kind of interaction that is closer
to natural interpersonal human communication, and to improve the
dependability of the interaction by employing complementary or redundant
information. Generally, multimodal applications are more adaptable to
the needs of different users in varying contexts. Multimodal
applications have a stronger acceptance potential because they can
generally be accessed in more than one manner (e.g. using speech and web
interface) and by a broader range of users in a varying set of
circumstances.

Objective of the Book
Recognizing that mobile computing is one of the most rapidly growing
areas in the software market, this book will explore the role of
multimodality and multimodal interfaces in the area of mobile computing.
Mobile computing has a very strong potential due to the extremely high
market penetration of mobile and smart phones, high degree of user
interest in and engagement with mobile applications, and an emerging
trend of integrating traditional desktop and online systems with their
mobile counterparts. Multimodal interfaces play a very important role
in improving the accessibility of these applications, therefore leading
to their increased acceptance by the users.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers in industry and academia working in the areas of mobile
computing, human-computer interaction, and interface usability, graduate
and undergraduate students, engineers, and anyone interested in mobile
computing and human-computer interaction.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Multimodal interfaces and human-computer interaction
* Technologies and platforms enabling speech interfaces (VoiceXML, SALT,
etc)
* Technologies and platforms enabling haptic and tactile (touch)
interfaces
* Software and hardware architectures for multimodal interfaces
* Accessibility issues in multimodal interfaces
* User acceptance of multimodal mobile technologies
* Multimedia and multimodality in mobile computing
* Multimodality and mobile games
* Multimodality and mobile entertainment
* Multimodality and mobile commerce
* Service-oriented architectures (SOA) as an enabler of multimodal
access to shared resources
* Multimodal and multichannel mobile applications
* Media convergence and its role in mobile computing and multimodality
* Design strategies for multimodal interfaces for mobile devices
* Security and privacy in mobile applications with multimodal interfaces
* Mobile multimodality in ubiquitous and pervasive computing
* Case studies of existing mobile multimodal applications and devices
* Market conditions and trends for mobile multimodal applications and
devices
* Future trends in development of mobile multimodal applications and
devices

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before August
1, 2008, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals
will be notified by August 15, 2008 about the status of their proposals
and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted
by October 31, 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a
