Cognitive modeling/human factors/HCI position at Office of Naval Research Closing date, 1 June 2005 http://chart.donhr.navy.mil/JobSearch/jobdetail.asp?strView=0&vid=60910 *************************************************** 1. 2006 International Conf. on Cognitive Modeling Thursday, 4 April 2006 to 8 April 2006, in Trieste, Italy http://iccm2006.units.it/ or contact iccm2006 at units.it. This continues the series of ICCM conferences. The last conference was at Pittsburgh. http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm/ This conference will build on that one's success. Paper submissions (6 pages) provisionally due November 20th, 2005. *************************************************** 2. Tutorial Program at Cognitive Science 2005, 20 July 2005 http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/keller/cogsci05/program_tutorials.html Tutorials will present tutorial material, that is, provide results that are established and will do so in an interactive format. They tend to involve an introduction to technical skills or methods. This year the set of tutorials is focused on a range of cognitive architectures for modeling and teaching higher-level cognition, and on a method for gathering data. They will include substantial review of material. The level of presentation assumes that the attendees have at least a first degree in a cognate area. There is a student rate, and such students must bring their ID to show at registration. Attendance at the tutorials does not require conference registration, but tutorial registration does not provide conference entrance. There are five tutorials this year (one with two parts). They are likely to cost about $63 (about 35 pounds or 50 Euros) for each half-day tutorial and 30e ($38) for students. Payment can be made using the registration site on the conference page, or can be paid for on the day (if space is available, which is likely). The program includes handouts, and a tea and a coffee break (including biscuits). There will be a meeting of the tutorial committee and tutors after the tutorials, location to be announced at the tutorials.

Cognitive modeling/human factors/HCI position at Office of Naval Research http://chart.donhr.navy.mil/JobSearch/jobdetail.asp?strView=0&vid=60910 Contact Susan Chipman (below) for more details. Program Officer, Human Factors (Industrial engineer) The Office of Naval Research is seeking a qualified individual to manage sponsored basic/applied research, and advanced development program and projects in the broad area of human factors engineering. The sponsored efforts are conducted at US universities and industry or Federal Labs. This is a civil service position at the GS-14/15 level ($88k-135k) depending on individual qualifications. The position requires knowledge and experience in the fundamental theories, concepts, and current state-of-the art research and/or technology development in the areas of human systems integration, human factors engineering, and industrial engineering including but not limited to, human decision making, organizational design and architectures, models for human-computer interaction, including computational models of human cognitive processing. For information on qualifications and how to apply, see the job announcements at our web site http://www.onr.navy.mil/hr. Susan writes: The quality of the people who end up in these positions is extremely important to the research community as well as to the Navy. The person in this position will have the opportunity to shape research programs and investments for many years to come. Program officers at ONR have real power of decision in funding. In addition, a less visible aspect of their role is developing ideas, mega-proposals one might say, and obtaining funding for them. Despite the use of the term, "engineer", I am sure that cognitive scientists [and I would suggest, HCI] with many different formal degrees would be able to get this position, as long as they have appropriate expertise. The government never has absolute degree requirements. Application of cognitive modeling to human systems integration is of particular interest. for more information, contact: Susan F.

To register, visit the web site http://www.theoffice.it/actr05 The highlights of the the meeting will include a presentation by Nick Chater on "The scope and limits of Rational Explanation" which should give us some perspective reflecting on the origins and future of the ACT-R theory. The conference will also include a session on "ACT-R 6 and Beyond" in which Dan Bothell will officially present ACT-R 6 to the community (it is being used for Summer School this year) and we will have some discussion of future directions. In general, we hope to gather some sense of future direction from this workshop. Three things expire with the deadline -- the reduced registration fees, the guaranteed hotel rates, and the deadline for proceedings contributions. With respect to the last item, I suspect May 31 is a little imprecise as a deadline. Also with respect to this last item of presenting at the workshop, I remind you that as always we are informal -- a short statement of intention is all that is required now and later you will be invited to submit 6 pages that can just be your slides for publication in the proceedings. Also, now is the time to invite community members to send suggestions for symposia. -- ========================================================== John R.

Sponsored by: CreateNet (www.create-net.it) and ICST CalIT2 (www.calit2.net) In Cooperation with AAAI Technically Co-Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and to be made available on IEEE Xplore *********************************************************************** The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The second Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous-05) will cover all these aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and databases. DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include a description of the demo and needed resources from the conference organizers. Proposals should be submitted to Dr. Ramiro Liscano (Demo Chair) rliscano at ieee.org by June 10, 2005. -------------- TENTATIVE TECHNICAL PROGRAM -------------- *************************************************************** Sunday, July 17, 2005 Workshops *************************************************************** Monday, July 18, 2005 8.30AM - 9.00 AM: Welcome, Introduction 9.00AM - 10.00AM: Robert Hecht-Nielsen, Univ of California, San Diego Calit2 Title: The Fundamental Mechanism of Cognition 10.00AM - 10.30AM: Break 10.00 AM - 12.30 PM: Poster Session 1 Dynamically Re-Configurable Communication Protocols using Key Identifiers Kaushalya Premadasa, Bjorn Landfeldt An Analysis of Strategies for Mitigating the Sensor Network Hot Spot Problem Zhao Cheng, Mark Perillo, Wendi Heinzelman JiTS: Just-in-Time Scheduling for Real-Time Sensor Data Dissemination Ke Liu, Nael Abu-Ghazaleh Channel Characteristics for On-Body Mica2Dot Wireless Sensor Networks David Jea, Mani Srivastava CustoMed: A Power Optimized Customizable and Mobile Medical Monitoring and Analysis System Roozbeh Jafari, Foad Dabiri, Majid Sarrafzadeh Agent Negotiation in Ad-Hoc Networks Cosmin Carabelea, Michael Berger Building a Ubiquitous Platform for Remote Sensing Using Smartphones Dirk Trossen, Dana Pavel Orion: P2P-based Inter-space Context Discovery Platform Chung-Yau Chin, Daqing Zhang, Mohan Gurusamy MAIPAN -- Middleware for Application Interconnection in Personal Area Networks Miklos Aurel Ronai, Kristof Fodor, Gergely Biczok, Zoltan Turanyi, Andras Valko 10.30AM - 12.00 Noon: Session 1: Security and Resource Management A Reputation-based Mechanism for Isolating Selfish Nodes in Ad Hoc Networks Secure Reporting of Traffic Forwarding Activity in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Defend Against Cache Consistency Attacks in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks A Policy-based Resource Management Framework for Active Spaces 12.00PM - 1.30PM: Lunch 1.30PM - 3.00PM: Panel on "Security, cooperation and safety in mobile ubiquitous networks" Panel Chair: Ahmed Helmy, Univ of Southern California 3.00PM - 3.30PM: Break 3.30PM - 5.00PM: Session 2: Routing in Ad Hoc Networks Content-Based Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Multi-Constraint Dynamic Access Selection in Always Best Connected Networks Extended ZRP:Performance Evaluation of a Routing Layer Based Service Discovery Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Market Models and Pricing Mechanisms in a Multihop Wireless Hotspot *************************************************************** Tuesday, July 19, 2005 9.00AM - 10.00AM: Martin Cooper, Title: TBA 10.00AM - 10.30AM: Break 10.30AM - 12.00 Noon: Session 3: Security in Sensor Networks SWAT: Small World-based Attacker Traceback in Ad-hoc Networks Correlation analysis for alleviating effects of inserted data in wireless sensor networks Efficient Aggregation of encrypted data in Wireless Sensor Practical Broadcast Authentication in Sensor Networks 10.00 AM - 12.30 PM: Poster Session 2 Reader Collision Avoidance in RFID Systems Murali Krishna Ramanathan, Bogdan Carbunar, Ananth Grama, Suresh Jagannathan KTR: an Efficient Key Management Scheme For Air Access Control Qijun Gu, Peng Liu, Wang-Chien LEE, Chao-Hsien Chu Temporal Transcoding for Mobile Video Communication Francesca Martelli, Maurizio A.
