Apology for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students. =================================================================== Call for Tutorial Proposals 2009 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2009) December 7th - 11th, 2009; Biopolis, Singapore http://apscc09.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/ *** Submission Deadline: June 29, 2009 (23:59 GMT) =================================================================== Services Computing is a new cross-discipline that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT/telecommunication services. The goal of services computing is to develop new computing technology and thereby enable more advanced IT/telecommunication services to support business services more efficiently and effectively. IEEE APSCC 2009 is an important forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT/telecommunication-driven business services and application services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of Services Computing. We solicit proposals for tutorials for presentation at the IEEE APSCC 2009 conference. Proposals must provide an in-depth survey of the chosen topic with the option of describing a particular piece of work in detail. A meaningful summary of open issues in the topic is highly recommended. The main research topics of the IEEE APSCC 2009 conference include, but are not limited to: * Business Process Integration and Management; * Cloud/Utility/Web Computing; * Foundations of Services Computing; * Mobile/Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing; * Service-centric Computing Models; and * Telecommunication Services. Proposals must be no more than five (5) pages, using an 11 pt or larger font for the body of the text of the proposal, and must include enough details to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which it will be covered.

CFP: IEEE VCNA 2009 -- Submission extended to August 1st
by Scott Fowler 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Due to many requests, paper submission deadline has been extended to August 1st. ================================================================= We apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Please disseminate this CFP in any lists you subscribed and among your colleagues/students. We also take this chance to invite you (or anyone from your research group) to contribute papers to this conference. Thanks in advance. ================================================================= Final call for Papers The Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems have recently received much attention. The aim is to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To facilitate both safety and non-safety applications, there is a necessity to integrate communications and computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Therefore, this workshop intends to foster state-of-the-art research in the areas of Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications through a forum for novel results and solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in the future.
