User-Centric Technologies AND APPLICATIONS A Workshop organized by madrinet |
ScopeThis workshop aims at presenting and discussing the key elements in frontier communications and location technologies, data processing and multisensory fusion and the paradigms for intelligent/adaptative management, that will make feasible the development of advanced applications for ambient intelligence. In this context, the concept of “feasibility” gathers together technology and service requirements and business model viability. On the other hand, the broad concept of “ambient intelligence” should be here understood as one where mobile services, whichever they are, are provided to the final user in a transparent, ubiquitous, continuous and personalized way.
This workshop is focused in the three horizontal basic areas: · The technological area related to the deployment and operation of intelligent network elements from the point of view of signal availability, integrity and compatibility, also considering coverage, electromagnetic compatibility, radio links capacity, intelligent antennas, ad-hoc networks, etc. · The technological area of the accurate and reliable location, both indoors and outdoors, with the objective to integrate available and emerging technologies (Galileo, WiFi, WiMAX, UWB, RFID) through sensor fusion paradigms. · The technological area of intelligence for infrastructure management, on the one hand using intelligent systems for planning, and genetic optimization and multiagent systems for communication systems management; and, on the other hand, through the development of intelligent infrastructure agents to provide the devices with the information needed to make use of the services.
The integration of the advances in the three areas of knowledge is expected to lead to the definition of the architectural and processing elements and the intelligent management of the cooperative communication systems based on accurate positioning. |

Submission
Please submit all paper submissions to Dr José Manuel Molina (molina@ia.uc3m.es). Submitted papers should be written in English and formatted according to Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes specifications. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings edited by the organization (with ISBN).
Papers must be no longer than 8 pages, including figures and references, when formatted using the specified style. Papers should be formatted for standard Letter paper size. (i.e. not A4) Over length papers will be rejected. Notification of receipt of the electronic paper will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) soon after receipt. The only formats allowed for are PostScript or P DF (Adobe's Portable Document Format). Papers will not be accepted in any other format (e.g., MS Word) because of compatibility problems between software versions, machines, and nationalities. However, we strongly encourage the submission in PDF format.
To facilitate the reviewing process, authors will be required to choose one or more appropriate content area keywords. MADRINET 2007 will be blind reviewed. In order to make blind reviewing possible, authors should omit their names and affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, it should not include unpublished works. When referring to one's own work, use the third person rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Lesser [7] has shown that...", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown that...." Avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information can be added to the final camera-ready version for publication. One of the Workshop Organizers will be in charge of supervising the review process of each paper. Three Program Committee members will review each paper. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results and quality of the presentation. The decision of the Program Committee Chairs will be final and cannot be appealed. Papers selected will be scheduled for presentation. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and to attend the conference to present the work. |
