CALL FOR PAPERS


The 6th International workshop on
Wireless Network Measurements

May 31, 2010, Avignon, France
http://www.thlab.net/winmee10/

Scope
The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking,
such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is
increasingly wireless. To better understand the nature of these changes,
it is important to evaluate these technologies in real-world environments
via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches
are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the
wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel.
As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless
network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking
research community.

This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in
2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of
experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing
advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements.
We solicit 6-page papers that advance the understanding of wireless
networks through testbed measurements or field experiments.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- operational experience of the performance of wireless networks
- challenges with wireless measurements
- experimental (in) validation of simulation or mobility models
and assumptions in a wireless environment
- metrics that would be required in a wireless network for
performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting
- experience from building/designing wireless networks
- descriptions of tools for building and/or managing wireless
testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation)
- large-scale or federated testbed measurements
- techniques for improving the repeatability of tests,
simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration
- techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed
- techniques for measuring heterogenous wireless networks
- techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing
wireless measurement data
- new measurement hardware platforms, e.g., cognitive radio

ASONAM2010

2010 International Conference on
Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining

ASONAM2010
The submission deadline is extended to 15 March

http://asonam2010.hau.gr/

The study of of social networks originated in social and business
communities. In recent years, social network research has advanced
significantly; the development of sophisticated techniques for Social
Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM) has been highly influenced by the
online social Web sites, email logs, phone logs and instant messaging
systems, which are widely analyzed using graph theory and machine learning
techniques. People perceive the Web increasingly as a social medium that
fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences and knowledge,
group activities, community formation and evolution. This has led to a
rising prominence of SNAM in academia, politics, homeland security and
business. This follows the pattern of known entities of our society that
have evolved into networks in which actors are increasingly dependent on
their structural embedding.

The international conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and
Mining (ASONAM 2010) will primarily provide an interdisciplinary venue
that will bring together practitioners and researchers from a variety of
SNAM fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas and practices.
ASONAM 2010 is intended to address important aspects with a specific focus
on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with social
networking analysis and mining. The conference solicits experimental and
theoretical works on social network analysis and mining along with their
application to real life situations.

revealed. However, relevant references to an author’s previous
research (which may be required for reviewers to understand and
evaluate the paper’s contribution) should not be suppressed but
instead referenced in a neutral way.

2. Workshops

Ubicomp 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops be held on Sunday,
September 26, prior to the main conference. The Workshops program will
provide a forum for attendees to discuss specialized topics or topics of
special interest.

This year, we would especially encourage more ambitious workshops of two
types. The first type is academic in nature and can be viewed as
mini-tracks to the main conference. These workshops should have the
potential to be sustainable and re-occur in the coming years. Hence, we
are looking to host workshops with the ambition of setting up a program
committee and aim for publication for improved versions of the workshop
papers.

The second type of workshops aims at building ubiquitous systems or
applications at the day of the workshop. Hence, this type of workshops is
a place for people to meet and design, build, or integrate ubiquitous
systems. This may range from physical design mock-ups containing no
technology, to a video prototype, to building an application on a
hardware toolkit provided by the organizers. Such a workshop should feed
directly into the other parts of the conference by producing a demo or a
video for the demo and video program .

Important dates and guidelines for the submission of the workshop
proposals are available on the conference web site.

* Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal


3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos)

The Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program track provides researchers with
opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive
fashion in front of an expert audience. Posters allow you to inform
attendees about your work in person, demos allow you to showcase
tangible results and communicate ideas and concepts in a powerful
way, and videos allow you to visualize the results of your research
and development efforts.

Ubicomp 2010 newly combines these hitherto seperate tracks into an
integrated, multimodal submission process: Submit your work both as
a video and a demo; present a poster and show a video; or go for a
combination of all three! A multimodal submission not only gets more
“participant face-time”, but also increases its chances for acceptance:
if the submission gets accepted in at least one of the tracks, it is
implicitly accepted into the other tracks (subject to some basic
quality control, of course).

The basis of your Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program submission is a 2-page
abstract that describes the technology being presented and discusses
the novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches that it brings to
the ubiquitous computing community. Even if you go multimodal, you
are required to submit one abstract only. Depending on what tracks
you are submitting to, you might need to provide supplemental material
such as a poster sketch, a demo description, and/or a video.

Atelier Protection de la Vie Privée

Annecy

26-27 mai 2010

L’article 1 de la loi « Informatique et libertés » dispose que :
L'informatique doit être au service de chaque citoyen. Son développement
doit s'opérer dans le cadre de la coopération internationale. Elle ne
doit porter atteinte ni à l'identité humaine, ni aux droits de l'homme,
ni à la vie privée, ni aux libertés individuelles ou publiques. Il se
trouve cependant que certains développements des technologies de
l’information ou de leurs usages suscitent de légitimes préoccupations
de la part des citoyens, notamment pour ce qui concerne la protection de
leur vie privée et de leurs données personnelles. Même si les
informaticiens ne peuvent prétendre résoudre seuls des questions aussi
complexes, il leur revient de fournir des techniques et des outils
permettant une meilleure protection des droits des individus. Un certain
nombre de travaux de recherche ont déjà été effectués ou initiés dans
cette direction et d’autres sont en préparation. On parle notamment des
PET (Privacy Enhancing Technologies) ou encore du « privacy by design »
qui consiste à prendre en compte l’exigence de protection dès la phase
de conception d’un système. L’objectif de cet atelier est de regrouper
tous les acteurs concernés pour effectuer un état de l’art de la
recherche informatique française dans le domaine et préparer
d’éventuelles collaborations. L’atelier sera organisé en sessions de
travail dont les thèmes seront précisés en fonction des soumissions
reçues. La participation à l’atelier est conditionnée à une présentation
sur la base d’un court descriptif (de 4 à 6 pages, en français ou en
anglais) comportant un résumé des travaux effectués sur le sujet et une
présentation des projets futurs. Le critère essentiel d’acceptation des
soumissions sera leur pertinence par rapport aux thèmes de l’atelier.


Thèmes concernés (liste non limitative) :
- PET (Privacy Enhancing Technologies)
- Privacy by design
- Protection des données personnelles
- Politiques de privacy, modélisation
- Consentement
- Gestion d’identités
- Anonymisation
- Droit à l’oubli
- Inférence de données, fouille, recoupement, profilage
- Protections juridiques : loi « informatique et libertés », effectivité,
évolutions, etc.

Calendrier :
- Date limite de soumission : 12 mars 2010
- Notification aux auteurs : 26 mars 2010
- Atelier : 26-27 mai 2010

Comité scientifique :
- Claude Castelluccia (INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes)
- Yves Deswarte (LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse)
- Gwendal Le Grand (CNIL)
- Daniel Le Métayer (INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes)
- Refik Molva (Institut Eurécom)

Journées Ateliers UbiMob 2010

Journées Ateliers UbiMob 2010
17 au 19 mai, Lyon, France

http://ubimob2010.liris.cnrs.fr/



Chaque année, les membres de l’axe d’étude Mobilité et Ubiquité du Groupe de Recherche I3 se rencontrent dans une manifestation durant plusieurs jours. En 2010, les journées ateliers UbiMob se tiendront à Lyon du 17 au 19 mai 2010, sous la forme d'ateliers sans actes publiés. Des actes informels seront distribués aux participants au cours de ces journées ateliers. Des discussions sont en cours pour éditer un numéro spécial de revue comportant des articles rédigés à partir d’une sélection de présentations faites à ces journées.


Ces journées ont comme objectif premier d’être un lieu d’échange scientifique et de rencontre sur le thème de l’informatique ubiquitaire et mobile entre acteurs académiques et industriels issus de différentes disciplines (e.g. systèmes distribués, capteurs, intergiciels, sécurité, bases de données, interaction homme-machine, ergonomie, sciences humaines et sociales) autour de travaux sur la conception, la mise en oeuvre et l'évaluation des systèmes informatiques mobiles et ubiquitaires.


Organisée à Lyon, UbiMob 2010 est la 6ème édition de ces rencontres après Lille (2009), Saint Malo (2008), Paris (2006), Grenoble (2005) et Nice (2004). Ces journées ont pour objectif d’offrir un cadre à l’échange. Ainsi, nous prendrons soin de laisser un temps de parole assez important à chaque orateur pour lui permettre de faire une présentation approfondie de ses travaux et d’initier une discussion.

Toute contribution se rattachant à l'informatique ubiquitaire et mobile dans les disciplines citées ci-avant sera d'intérêt pour ces journées. Sans se limiter à cette liste, les thèmes considérés pourront concerner :

* Architectures et intergiciels pour les environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Méthodes et outils de conception, développement et déploiement d'applications pervasives et/ou mobiles
* Interaction homme-machine en environnements pervasifs et/ou sur supports mobiles
* Sensibilité au contexte, adaptation et personnalisation en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Découverte et administration de services pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Composition et orchestration de services en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Gestion de données, requêtes et transactions en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Mesure de qualité de service en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Applications innovantes en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Testbeds, benchmarks, méthodes d'évaluation et scenarios pour environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Réseaux sociaux en environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles
* Confidentialité, sécurité et confiance dans les environnements pervasifs et/ou mobiles


Les soumissions peuvent prendre plusieurs formes :

- Les présentations orales pour présenter des travaux de recherche ou de recherche et développement récents, pas forcément aboutis, ou un état de l'art consacré à un thème particulier.

- Les démonstrations ont pour objectif de permettre aux participants de la conférence de découvrir un système particulier à travers une vidéo ou en interagissant eux-mêmes avec celui-ci.

- Les sessions thématiques ont pour objectif de regrouper autour d'un thème commun les travaux de plusieurs équipes, le thème pouvant être scientifique ou applicatif. Ces sessions pourront regrouper des présentations ou des démonstrations. La gestion de cette session sera déléguée à la personne responsable de la session.

Les propositions de présentation, démonstration ou session thématique pourront être rédigées en Français ou en Anglais, elle devront être rédigées sur une à quatre pages en suivant le format de présentation des SIG ACM disponible sur http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Un résumé en français et en anglais devront être fournis.
