========================================================================
The special interest group for communication and distributed systems of
the German Association for Computer Science (GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS) is
calling for applications for the biennial Communication Software Award.
The Communication Software Award honors the best practice-oriented
application, tool, framework, or demonstration showing innovative and
original research in the areas of networks, communication, and
distributed systems. Submissions of novel, original works from both
academia and industry are invited, nominations of students, from
academic research projects, or small and medium-sized enterprises
(SME) are especially encouraged. Products that are already commercially
available during the NetSys?15 conference are excluded from the awards.
Nominations of either single applicants or groups are welcome, the best
student application may get an additional award.
The submission should include an extended abstract of up to two pages.
Submissions should include authorship (with affiliations), the problem
domain and application of the communication software nominated,
platform requirements, and the envisioned licensing scheme. They should
explicitly state what will be demonstrated at the NetSys 2015
conference and how the audience will be able to interact and experiment
with it. The following assessment criteria should additionally be
explicitly addressed:

Optimization: PlanSOpt
Message-ID: <5436C4EE.20608@zib.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
CALL FOR PAPERS
================================================================
AAAI-15 Workshop on Planning, Search, and Optimization: PlanSOpt
Austin, Texas, 25-26 January 2015
http://org.nicta.com.au/plansopt-15
Submission deadline: October 14, 2014
================================================================
Mainstream AI planning and heuristic search have traditionally been
concerned with finding paths through a state transition system. The
objective is typically to find either a feasible solution or an
optimal solution to a fairly restricted objective function (e.g.,
minimize plan length or the sum of the costs of actions in a plan).
While there have been pioneering efforts at using optimization for
planning (notably in compilation approaches to mixed integer
programming and constraint programming), there has been significant
renewed interest in a number of areas, including:
- formulating heuristic generation and selection as an optimization
problem
- linear programming as a basis for search heuristics in classical
planning
- hybridization of optimization approaches (e.g,. linear, mixed
integer linear, constraint, and non-linear programming) and
planning to solve more expressive problems involving time,
resources, and complex systems (e.g., the electricity grid)
- adaptation of optimization methods to design planning and search
algorithms that continually improve plan quality as time permits
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in AI
planning, search, and optimization to investigate both problems and
solution approaches. We encourage applications of optimization
technology to planning/search problems, applications of traditional
planning/search technology (e.g., variations of A* search) to
optimization problems, and hybrid approaches that combine planning and
optimization.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
- Planning with time and/or resources
- Planning over complex systems
- Optimization over complex systems
- Optimization-based search heuristics
- Optimization techniques for planning and search (e.g. local search)
- Decomposition approaches for planning and search (e.g. column
generation, Benders Decomposition/Planning Modulo Theory)
- Anytime plan quality optimization
- AI-style search for optimization problems and solvers
- Reasoning about complex objective functions (e.g. requiring
multi-objective, bi-level, robust, or adversarial optimization or
search)
- Understanding, comparing, and combining the modelling approaches
from AI and optimization
- Hybrid and cross-over applications
- Comparing planning/search and optimization approaches on problems to
which both are applicable
- Search algorithms for graphical models, in particular weighted
counting and constraint satisfaction queries
- Exploitation of symmetries in search, in particular comparison of
such approaches in CP, MIP, and counting queries
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will include invited talks, presentations of accepted
contributions, and discussion. It will also feature tutorials about
planning and search for optimization researchers and about optimization
for planning and search researchers. It is expected that attendees
will have open minds and will engage in discussions in the spirit of
developing a mutual understanding of both problems and solution
approaches of interest to all backgrounds.
SUBMISSIONS
Papers should be accessible to researchers from AI planning, search,
and optimization. Work that only focuses on AI planning or search
without an aspect of optimization are not suitable. Conversely,
however, as our goal is to attract researchers from optimization, work
that is focused on optimization but that introduces problems or uses
techniques that the authors believe are of interest to the AI planning
and search communities are expressly encouraged.
Two paper formats are solicited:
- full-length papers (up to 8 pages in AAAI format)
- challenge or position papers (2 pages in AAAI format).
We welcome papers submitted to the main AAAI conference and papers
reporting research already published provided they align squarely with
the workshop topic.
Papers should be submitted in PDF to EasyChair. All papers will be peer
reviewed.

The First International Workshop on Recent Advances in WBANs Design and
Deployment for Real-time and Healthcare Applications (RA-WERHA 2015)
(http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/RA-WERHA2015/main.html)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held in conjunction with IEEE CCNC 2015,
Jan. 9-12, 2015, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
The recent advances in wireless sensing technology have led to the emergence of a wide
range of applications in different domains such as medical, sports, consumer electronics,
social networking, and enterprise usage. E-health is recognized as the most important and
promising among these applications for its potential for health monitoring of chronic
illnesses, lifesaving in emergency situations, and its ability to provide round the clock
healthcare to rural and disadvantaged areas. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are the
key enabler of remote and in-hospital health monitoring and are expected to revolutionize
the health and real-time body monitoring industry.
WBAN technology has quickly attracted a lot of attention from researchers, practitioners
and clinicians as well as mobile health related data managers. The main objective of WBAN
is to provide cost-effective, flexible, and secure use of biotelemetry information and
communication technologies to support both medical and non-medical applications. This
technology enables ambient assisted living by providing more freedom to the elderly,
disabled, and chronic illness sufferers. Moreover, it can be rapidly deployed in emergency
and disaster situations facilitating faster and more accurate remote diagnosis of victims.
WBAN technology unleashes the possibilities and potentials for personalized medicine which
promises to revolutionize healthcare that will have a significant societal and economic
impact and improve the citizens? quality of life, particularly in future smart cities.
However, WBAN applications present several challenges for the research community including:
passive non-intrusive and power utilization design issues, security and reliability with
regards to the integrity of the acquired biotelemetry data and the real-time transmission of
the monitored data using QoS aware techniques. Moreover, new emerging applications, which
consider critical flows, are gaining more and more popularity in various activity domains.
This workshop seeks to bring together leading academic and industrial researchers,
practitioners, and clinicians to identify and discuss the major technical challenges
and recent results related to WBANs based medical and non-medical applications.
All are welcome to present and share their latest research findings, ideas, simulation
tools and prototype test-beds at the 2015 RA-WERHA workshop.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Wearable and body sensor networks
? Wireless biotelemetry sensor technologies
? Emerging eHealth applications
? Health monitoring, traffic characterization, and management
? Future Network/Communications Infrastructures and Architectures for
