CFP : IEEE eScience 2012
by Isao KOJIMA 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

dbjapanのみなさま。小島＠産総研です。ちょっと先ですが、IEEEのeScienceおよび関連ワークショップのCFPです。じゅーぶん間に合いますのでよろしく。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 8th IEEE International Conference on eScience http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/escience2012/ October 8-12, 2012 Chicago, IL, USA Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices, often in communities and projects that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The eScience 2012 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest applications research and product/tool developments and to highlight related activities from around the world. Also, we are now entering the second decade of eScience and the 2012 conference gives an opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved so far and look forward to the challenges and opportunities the next decade will bring. A special emphasis of the 2012 conference is on advances in the application of technology in a particular discipline. Accordingly, significant advances in applications science and technology will be considered as important as the development of new technologies themselves. Further, we welcome contributions in educational activities under any of these disciplines. As a result, the conference will be structured around two e-Science tracks: • eScience Algorithms and Applications • eScience application areas, including: • Physical sciences • Biomedical sciences • Social sciences and humanities • Data-oriented approaches and applications • Compute-oriented approaches and applications • Extreme scale approaches and applications • Cyberinfrastructure to support eScience • Novel hardware • Novel uses of production infrastructure • Software and services • Tools The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS)journal. SUBMISSION PROCESS Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines. (Up to 2 additional pages may be purchased for US$150/page) Templates are available from http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer tohttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=escience2012 (Note that paper submitters also must submit an abstract in advance of the paper deadline.

CFP: TACPS 2012 - Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012

16 Feb '12

===================================================================================================== The 2012 International Workshop on Technologies and Applications for Cyber-Physical Systems (TACPS 2012) http://web.ftrai.org/tacps2012 (TBA) Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012 In Conjunction with EMC 2012 http://www.ftrai.org/emc2012 ******************************************************************************************************* TACPS 2012 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on advances in technologies and applications for cyber physical system. Cyber Physical System (CPS) is not a new field, but a new type of system which is reflected physical characteristics to embedded system and emphasized importance of controlling between systems are connected each other through network. Components of CPS, e.g. controller, sensor, actuator, and etc. should transmit the information to cyber space through sensing the environment of real world in real-time, and also they should reflect policy of cyber space to real world in real-time. Therefore, many components of CPS should be available to communicate each other. In addition, CPS consists of controller, sensor, and actuator could reflect the information of cyber space to real world through monitoring a variety of information and controlling actuator in real-time. So, high reliability technology and application are needed for accurate real-time control in CPS, and data encryption is needed for confidentiality and integrity of data which is transmitted over the network. TACPS 2012 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of CPS. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in CPS. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. ==Topic== Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to: - Real-time Architectures for CPS - Real-time Control Techniques for CPS - Communications and Networks for CPS - Middlewares for CPS - Applications and Services for CPS - Interoperation Systems for CPS - Fault Tolerant System for CPS - Security Issues suitable for CPS - Sensor networks for CPS - Protocols and algorithms for CPS ==Organization== General Chairs -------------- James J.

CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ MED-HOC-NET 2012 11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012 http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years, mostly because of the growing interest in a connected world, where people are virtually omnipresent. Next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous access technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies are part of this pervasive environment. MED-HOC-NET 2012, as its previous 10 predecessors focuses on communication networking research, especially on new issues in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks, which include Application Scenarios, Data-centric Operation, Autonomous Organization, Optimization and Control, Operation under Intermittent Connectivity, and Service Creation and Support. The scope of the workshop also includes new and exciting challenges in wireless mesh networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic networks, and the opportunities provided or stemming from the social networks paradigm. As a major annual international workshop, the 11th MED-HOC-NET aims to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from the academia, the research laboratories, and the industry to present their latest work.

IEEE WiMob 2012 The 8th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications 8 - 10 October 2012 Barcelona, Spain http://conferences.computer.org/WiMob2012 CALL FOR PAPERS The IEEE WiMob conference is an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with wireless and mobile technology. For seven years, the International IEEE WiMob conference has provided unique opportunities for researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions in Wireless Communications, Mobile Networking and Ubiquitous Computing. IEEE WiMob 2012 will be held at Casa Convalesc�ncia, Barcelona, Spain. The conference will be hosted by Universitat Polit�cnica de Catalunya (UPC). Barcelona is one of the most touristic towns in Europe and capital of the Modernism. In fact, Casa Convalesc�ncia building is one of the great works of Catalan Modernism, and was declared Historical Artistic Monument in 1978 and World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. IEEE WiMob 2012 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking, mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications.
