InMotion: A Workshop on Pervasive Technologies for Improved Mobility and
Transportation
May 11th, 2009. Nara, Japan
Held in conjunction with Pervasive 2009
http://inmotion09.dei.uc.pt
In recent years we see an increasing deployment of sensors and powerful
mobile processing devices in cities. Amongst others, it has allowed for
new approaches in the study of the built environment including key
infrastructure systems. Recent research efforts harnessed these technologies
for analyzing the patterns of different dynamic flows in the city such as
environmental conditions, people movements, and events. While research
efforts in pervasive computing have focused so far primarily on application
areas such as health care, ambient assisted living, socializing, and gaming,
the newly available information about urban dynamics provides a promising
context for pervasive computing applications in Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS). Research in ITS aims to enhance transportation infrastructure
systems and services as well as the vehicle itself through information and
communication systems. In recent years, ITS research has focused on riders
and pedestrians as well.
This workshop will explore uses of pervasive computing in ITS and other
topics related to people's mobility. It will focus primarily on new methods
for obtaining relevant real-time data, the provision of mobility
information, as well as data fusion.
We encourage submission of papers including, but not limited to the
following topics:
- Data gathering from pervasive networks (e.g. energy grids, sensor networks, mobile phone and other wireless networks)
- Modeling and applications based on user generated content (blogs, txt, images, as well as participatory and opportunistic sensing)
- Visualization and mapping
- Machine learning for mobility applications
- Dynamic routing algorithms for mobility
- Context aware navigation systems
- In-vehicle sensing systems
- Recognition and classification of transportation/mobility mode
- Environmental applications for ITS
- Interaction between vehicle and fixed infrastructure/mobile devices
Author guidelines:
Authors are requested to submit either a full paper (max. 5 pages) or a
position paper (max. 2 pages) in PDF, Springer LNCS format.
- Position papers may present work in progress, results found, ideas and
concepts for future research, as well as questions on topics relevant to the
workshop.
- Full papers should present novel contributions relevant to the topic of
the workshop and must not overlap strongly with other papers previously
published or submitted for publication elsewhere. If a proceeding volume for
Pervasive 2009 will be printed, it will include all full papers accepted to
this workshop (otherwise papers will be published online).
Submissions should be made via the EDAS system at:
http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7367& by March 9th 16th, 2009.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by the workshop program committee.
At least one author for each paper accepted is expected to attend the
workshop.
