====================================================
Call for Papers
UNIF 2014
The 28th International Workshop on Unification
July 13, 2014. Vienna, Austria
a FLoC workshop hosted by RTA-TLCA and IJCAR
http://vsl2014.at/unif
====================================================

UNIF 2014 is the 28th event in a series of international meetings
devoted to
unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the
problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making
formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields
of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic
programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new
ideas
and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and
scientists
working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the
art in
unification theory.


Topics
------
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:

* syntactic and equational unification
* matching
* constraint solving
* unification in modal, temporal, and description logics
* narrowing
* disunification
* anti-unification
* semi-unification
* higher-order unification
* complexity issues
* implementation techniques
* applications


Submission
----------
Short papers or extended abstracts, up to 5 pages in EasyChair style,
should be
submitted electronically as PDF files through the EasyChair submission site:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=unif2014

Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and included in the
preliminary proceedings, available in the electronic form at the
workshop and
also at the UNIF web page:

SENSEAPP 2014

NINTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2014)

Chateau Lacombe Hotel
Edmonton, Canada

8-11 September 2014

http://www.senseapp.org


CALL FOR PAPERS

The Internet of Things is happening! Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware
- Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
- Experiences with communication protocols
- Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
- Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
- Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
- Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
- Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
- Configuration and installation support
- Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns
- Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
- Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices
- Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS at:

<https://edas.info/N17169>

All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.
Further information can be found at http://www.senseapp.org
