Call for Satellite Events


-- ABOUT ETAPS --

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial
researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS is
an annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998.

The eighteenth conference, ETAPS 2015, will take place between April
11th and 19th, 2015 at Queen Mary University of London, in London,
United Kingdom.

London is one of the most visited and cosmopolitan cities on earth. It
is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce,
education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media,
professional services, research and development, tourism and transport
all contributing to its prominence. It can be reached by more people,
from more destinations, in less time, than any other destination in
the world.

ETAPS main conferences will take place on April 13th-17th, 2015. They
are:

- CC: International Conference on Compiler Construction
- ESOP: European Symposium on Programming
- FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
- FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
- POST: Principles of Security and Trust
- TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and
Analysis of Systems


-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2015 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite
events (workshops etc.) that will complement the main
conferences. They should fall within the scope of ETAPS. This
encompasses all aspects of the system development process, including
specification, design, implementation, analysis and improvement, as
well as the languages, methodologies and tools which support these
activities, covering a spectrum from practically-motivated theory to
soundly-based practice. Satellite events provide an opportunity to
discuss and report on emerging research approaches and practical
experience relevant to theory and practice of software.

ETAPS 2015 satellite events will be held immediately before and after
the main conferences, on April 11th-12th and April 18th-19th, 2015.


-- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS --

The organizers of an ETAPS 2015 satellite are expected to:

- create and maintain a website for the event,

- form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if
appropriate),

- advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to
complement the publicity of ETAPS,

- review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions,

- prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if
appropriate),

- prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling
constraints defined by the ETAPS 2015 organizing committee,

- prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post)proceedings
(if desired).

The ETAPS 2015 organizing committee will:

- promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of
ETAPS 2015

- integrate the event's program into the overall program of the
conference,

- arrange registration for the event as a component of registration
for ETAPS, collect a participation fee from the registrants,

points in a given geometric space whose distances between some of these
points are known.

All interested researchers are invited to contribute to this special
issue. The topics of submitted papers should be related to the themes of
the Workshop on Distance Geometry and Applications (DGA13), that was
held in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, on June 24-27, 2013. Submissions of
contributions not presented at the workshop are also welcome. All
articles will be thoroughly refereed according to the high standards of
Discrete Applied Mathematics.

[DMANET] [AOC 2014] CFP - IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2014)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
Eighth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2014)
June 16, 2014 - Sydney, Australia
http://aoc2014.conference.nicta.com.au
Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom
**** Submission Deadline --- March 7, 2014 ****
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The recent proliferation of sensor-rich portable devices is enabling
novel communication paradigms for users and contributing to the
implementation of the ubiquitous computing and networking vision.
Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for
this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a
complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic
networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability
to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity.
Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses
countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2014 workshop is to serve
as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and
other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas,
discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous
editions, this year's workshop is particularly interested in novel
research directions, such as service composition techniques,
co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights from game
theory, social networking analysis, and cognitive psychology. The
workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and
practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well
as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments.

Topics of interest for AOC 2014 include, but are not limited to:
* Routing, transport, and reliability issues
* Techniques for data dissemination and replication
* Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking
applications
* Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
* Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
* Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile
wireless networks
* Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
* Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
* Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for
autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Game-theoretical insights to the operation of autonomic and
opportunistic networks
* Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic
networks
* Trust, security, and reputation
* Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes,
measurement data from real experiments
* Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Mobile Social networks


PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
================================

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently
under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited
to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to
the template format.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by
IEEE. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single
registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At
least one author of each accepted

paper is required and present his/her work at the workshop. We will use
a free submission system for processing the submissions and reviews.
Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for
possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal
(Elsevier).
