Social Media
=========================================================================================
?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both
in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional
communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed
in the collaborative, interactive media space.
Ambient and Ubiquitous Media
=========================================================================================
?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and
ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology,
art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services,
ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts,
the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick.
Media Business, Media Production and Media Management
=========================================================================================
Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of
digital media and focuses on leadership practices, business models and value chains.
It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional
media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business
and media management issues.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
=========================================================================================
The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities,
consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access,
ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems,
interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes
to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with
several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience.
Open Source
=========================================================================================
The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open
source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware.
On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new
business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new
kinds of technical and non-technical challenges.
Digital Games
=========================================================================================
The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current
trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to
social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical
works, empirical case studies and constructive projects.
ICT & E-Government
=========================================================================================
In recent years, ICT has played a pivotal role in the development of digital economy.
This technology facilitates the rapid accumulation and dissemination of information,
group interaction, communication, and collaboration. ICT has become one of the core
elements of managerial reform around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 and
emergence of ICT infrastructure, processes and policies many governments and public
officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, and with organizations
and citizens.
Demonstrations
=========================================================================================
The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the
communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations
is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media
demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community,
industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects
with a practical implementation.
Special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and
multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference.
Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference
tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The

DISC 2013 ** Deadline postponement ** and last CFP
[ Apologies if you receive this message more than once. ]
Hi,
The DISC 2013 organization committee decided together with the
steering committee to provide the DISC 2013 proceedings on a USB
(Disk on Key) and not on paper**.
As a result Springer gave us extra time on the schedule (no printing
and shipping on the schedule critical path). And we pass this extra
time to those of you that plan to submit a paper to DISC.
Thus the deadline is postponed by one week, giving you
more time to polish the submission and make it more readable and
of higher quality.
The new deadlines are thus:
Registration & abstract submission May 12, 2013
Submission May 19, 2013
Acceptance notification July 14, 2013
Camera ready July 30, 2013
** Those that still want a paper proceedings will be able to purchase
it directly from Springer. An online version will be available to
registered participants a few days before the conference for those

Hi,
The DISC 2013 organization committee decided together with the
steering committee to provide the DISC 2013 proceedings on a USB
(Disk on Key) and not on paper**.
As a result Springer gave us extra time on the schedule (no printing
and shipping on the schedule critical path). And we pass this extra
time to those of you that plan to submit a paper to DISC.
Thus the deadline is postponed by one week, giving you
more time to polish the submission and make it more readable and
of higher quality.
The new deadlines are thus:
Registration & abstract submission May 12, 2013
Submission May 19, 2013
Acceptance notification July 14, 2013
Camera ready July 30, 2013
** Those that still want a paper proceedings will be able to purchase
it directly from Springer. An online version will be available to
registered participants a few days before the conference for those
interested to
bring hard copies of specific papers.

[DMANET] Diskrete Optimierung TU Clausthal
Stellenauschreibung TU Clausthal
Die Mathematik an der TU Clausthal durchläuft momentan eine
Neustrukturierung
mit dem Ziel einer stärkeren Hinwendung zur angewandten Mathematik. In
diesem
Zusammenhang sind zunächst die folgenden drei Stellen zum nächstmöglichen
Zeitpunkt zu besetzen:
Mathematische Modellierung (W3)
Wissenschaftliches Rechnen (W2)
Diskrete Optimierung (W2)
Wünschenswert sind aktuelle Forschungsschwerpunkte in den folgenden
Bereichen:
Stelle Mathematische Modellierung:
nichtlineare partielle Differentialgleichungen, abstrakte dynamische
Systeme,
gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen, hierarchische Modellierung,
Mehrskalenanalyse, Approximationstheorie, Daten- und Modellreduktion,
Probleme
mit freien und bewegten Rändern, Inverse Probleme, Sensitivitätsanalyse.
Stelle Wissenschaftliches Rechnen:
Umgebungen, Algorithmen und (skalierende) Technologien für hochdimensionale
Probleme; hardwarespezifische Algorithmen; Geometrie, Gittergenerierung und
Visualisierung; Algorithmen zur Daten- und Modellreduktion.
Stelle Diskrete Optimierung:
kombinatorische Optimierung, ganzzahlige Optimierung, algorithmische
Graphentheorie.
Gesucht werden international ausgewiesene Persönlichkeiten mit einem
Forschungsgebiet, das zu den für die Clausthaler Mathematik geplanten
Schwerpunkten „Modellierung/ Numerik", „Stochastik/Statistik" und
„Optimierung"
passt. Der Stelleninhaber/die Stelleninhaberin sollen sich aktiv am Aufbau
dieser Schwerpunkte sowie an der Ausgestaltung des geplanten Studiengangs
„Industrial Mathematics" beteiligen. Sie sollten eine ausgeprägte
Neigung zur
interdisziplinären Arbeit und zu anwendungsnahen Fragestellungen haben
und von
ihren möglichen Anwendungsgebieten her zu den Forschungsschwerpunkten der TU
Clausthal und insbesondere zum Simulationswissenschaftlichen Zentrum
Clausthal-Göttingen passen. In der Lehre wird die Beteiligung am neu
einzurichtenden Bachelor-Masterstudiengang „Industrial Mathematics"
einschließlich der mathematischen Grundausbildung erwartet sowie im
Serviceangebot für andere Fächer. Die Technische Universität Clausthal ist
Mitgliedsuniversität der Niedersächsischen Technischen Hochschule (NTH), der
auch die zu besetzende Professur zugeordnet ist. Von den Bewerberinnen und
Bewerbern wird deshalb die Bereitschaft vorausgesetzt, an koordinierten
interdisziplinären Programmen mitzuwirken und sich in die Zusammenarbeit der
technisch orientierten Universitäten in Niedersachsen, insbesondere im
Rahmen
der Niedersächsischen Technischen Hochschule (NTH), in Forschung und Lehre
einzubringen. Weitere Informationen zur NTH finden Sie unter:
http://www.nth-online.org.
Die Einstellungsvoraussetzungen ergeben sich aus § 25 des Niedersächsischen
Hochschulgesetzes.
Auf Wunsch kann Teilzeitbeschäftigung ermöglicht werden. Die Technische
Universität Clausthal hat sich das strategische Ziel gesetzt, den Anteil von
Frauen deutlich zu erhöhen. Wissenschaftlerinnen werden deshalb
nachdrücklich um
ihre Bewerbung gebeten. Schwerbehinderte Bewerberinnen und Bewerber
werden bei
gleicher Eignung bevorzugt. Bewerbungen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und
Wissenschaftlern aus dem Ausland sind ausdrücklich erwünscht.
Bewerberinnen und
Bewerber, die zum Zeitpunkt der beabsichtigten Ernennung das 50. Lebensjahr
vollendet haben und nicht bereits im Beamtenverhältnis stehen, werden
grundsätzlich im Angestelltenverhältnis eingestellt.

EIGHTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)
Novotel Central Sydney
Sydney, Australia
21-24 October 2013
http://www.senseapp.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts 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
- 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:

(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)
Novotel Central Sydney
Sydney, Australia
21-24 October 2013
http://www.senseapp.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts 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
- 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.
