Subject: [DMANET] CG Week Multimedia Exposition - Second Call for
Submissions
Message-ID: <54C177FB.7070801@cs.princeton.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
Video and multimedia contributions are sought for the 24th Multimedia
Exposition in Computational Geometry, a part of CG Week 2015. This
event showcases the use of visualization in computational geometry
for exposition and education, for visual exploration of geometry in
research, and as an interface and a debugging tool in software
development. Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural
theorems, descriptions of applications of computational geometry,
demonstrations of software systems, and games that illustrate
concepts from computational geometry are all appropriate. There are
no limitations on creativity, anything that leverages the
possibilities of multimedia to enlighten and entertain the viewer
while learning about computational geometry will do. This includes
rendered animation, films with narrators and/or actors, and
interactive stories.
We seek submissions of high quality, judged by how well they exploit
the creative possibilities of their respective formats. That is, a
screencast of static slides with some voice-over will hardly do.
QUALITY ISSUES
For videos, a length of three to five minutes is usually ideal; ten
minutes is the upper limit. For the final version, we require video
in 720P or better, using H.264. The embedded audio stream should be
AAC of at least 128kBit/s. Telephone-sounding audio (limited
frequency range, noise) or live rooms, as often recorded with cheap
headsets, must be avoided, as well as speakers with too heavy accent.
There are no general guidelines for other content. Interactive
applications (e.g., HTML5, Flash, AIR, Java, etc.) should have a
"demo" mode where the algorithm runs on its own. They should be
submitted as a distributable package.
To conserve resources, please try to keep your submission at a
reasonable size. The program committee may recode the submission at a
lower quality to reduce the space requirements. Authors are free to
post higher quality versions on their own web sites, and we will
include links in the electronic proceedings to their version, in
addition to the official version archived on
www.computational-geometry.org
It is strongly encouraged to contact the PC well in advance
to 1) discuss the quality of a video submission (based on sample
files) or 2) to present your non-video idea and how it could be
reviewed, presented, and distributed.
SUBMISSION
Submissions should be deposited online where they are accessible
through the web or via FTP. A video submission should play
trouble-free on programs like VLC Media Player. For ease of sharing
and viewing, we encourage (but do not require) that each video
submission be uploaded to YouTube (not necessarly publicly visible),
and that the corresponding URL be included with the submission.
Each submission should include a three-page description of the
material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the
techniques used in the implementation. This three-page description
must be formatted according to the guidelines for the conference
proceedings, using the LIPIcs format. LIPIcs typesetting instructions
can be found at http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics and
the lipics.cls LaTeX style file at
http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz.
Send a mail to the committee chair, Wolfgang Mulzer
(mulzer@inf.fu-berlin.de) by February 13, 2015, 23:59 (UTC-12), with
the following information:
- the names and institutions of the authors
- the email address of the corresponding author
- instructions for downloading the submission
- if available: the link to the YouTube video
- and the PDF abstract.
We explicitly encourage video/multimedia submissions that support
papers submitted to the Symposium on Computational Geometry.
However, submitted papers and associated video/multimedia
submissions will be treated entirely separately by the respective
committees: acceptance or rejection of one will not influence
acceptance or rejection of the other. Authors will be notified of
acceptance or rejection, and given reviewers' comments, by March 09,
2015. For each accepted submission, the final version of the 3-page
textual description will be due by March 23, 2015 for inclusion in
the proceedings. Final versions of accepted video/multimedia
presentations will be due April 30, 2015.

Description
-----------
The OPTIMIZATION-BASED DESIGN OF ENERGY SYSTEMS generally leads to
mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. In recent years, a
surge of interest in (non-convex) MINLP problems in the mathematical
optimization community produced remarkable algorithmic progress and
triggered new developments, in particular new implementations.
To benefit most from these advances, ENGINEERS AND MATHEMATICIANS should
tie up, each contributing their own expertise. Aim of this workshop is
to bring together researchers from both fields to learn about the latest
work and to foster collaborations.
The workshop consists of INVITED TALKS on recent work, complemented by
THREE KEYNOTES delivered by the following distinguished speakers.

Scope
The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and
livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase
services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this
vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen
constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city.
To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with
billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects
(e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding
environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers,
workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge
amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role
is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable
devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them
and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time,
citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes
which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by
smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the
community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating
the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from
surrounding devices.
All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has
the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative
application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing
that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment
surely poses a formidable challenge.
The SWANSITY workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms,
methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the
formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide
networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication
in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of
heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust,
ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments.
In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in
topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
- Models of network components? interactions on a smart-city
- Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities
- Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications;
- Device-2-Device Communications (D2D);
- IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities;
- Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access;
- Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks;
- Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities;
- Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches
for smart cities
- Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City
environments;
- Smartphone and mobile systems and applications;
- Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones;
- Crowd sourcing in smart cities;
- Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and
applications;
- Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and
applications;
- Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems;
- Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in
smart cities ecosystems;
- Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and
interaction with Cyber physical Systems;
- Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue;
- Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing
- Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks
Interoperability and Management
All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Submission Instructions:
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by
the deadline of 1st April 2015. Submissions will be accepted through
EDAS. All submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6)
printed pages in length, including figures.
