****************************************
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.
PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are
solicited. The conference is interested in contributions addressing all
the areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous architectures,
infrastructure and services. Technical works clearly identifying how the
specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly
of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Ubiquitous architectures and systems
* Wearable computing and personal area network
* Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee,
802.15.x, WiFi)
* Incentive-based deployment of ad hoc networks
* Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless network
* Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and
composition mechanisms
* Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
* Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
* Peer-to-peer knowledge management
* Emerging industrial/business scenarios
* Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)
* Smart spaces
* Ad hoc and sensor networking
* Localization and tracking
* Context and location aware application
* Multimedia encoding and transcoding
* Middleware services
* Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, andmobile systems
* Hardware and software platforms for ubiquitous systems, and testbeds
* User interfaces
* Toolkits, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous
computing
* Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled
electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should
prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) or postscript version of their
full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size,
8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size

Dear Dr. Qwerty,
Below is a link to the forthcoming précis of a book accepted for Multiple
Book Review in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS).
"Breakdown of Will"
by
George Ainslie
Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), is an international, interdisciplinary
journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial
current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences.
IMPORTANT: Please note that it is the *BOOK*, not the précis, that is to be
reviewed.
Reviewers must be BBS Associates or nominated by a BBS Associate. To be
considered as a reviewer for this book, to suggest other appropriate
reviewers, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please
reply by EMAIL within three (3) weeks to:
calls(a)bbsonline.org
The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation
(indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every
occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or
to nominate someone to comment.
If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate
(there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work
to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are
eligible to become BBS Associates. A full electronic list of current BBS
Associates is available at this location to help you select a name:
http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html
If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum
Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether
they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address
and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated
investigator.)
To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate reviewer for this
book, an electronic draft of the precis (only) is retrievable at the URL
that follows the abstract below.
=======================================================================
*** MULTIPLE BOOK REVIEW - PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS ***
=======================================================================
Please DO NOT prepare a review unless you are formally invited.
To help us put together a balanced list of reviewers, it would be most
helpful if you would send us as specific as possible an indication of the
relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the subject, and what aspect
of the book you would anticipate commenting upon. We will then let you know
whether it was possible to include your name on the final formal list of
invitees. (Please do not simply indicate that we have your expertise
information in our records. We request this information in order to simplify
and thus, speed up the selection process.)
As noted earlier, it is the *BOOK*, not the précis, that is to be reviewed.
IMPORTANT: Please indicate whether you already have the book or would
require a review copy to be sent to you. Please include your full mailing
address if you would need a copy of the book.

*** MULTIPLE BOOK REVIEW - INFORMATION ***
=======================================================================
BOOK: Breakdown of Will
AUTHOR: George Ainslie
PRECIS ABSTRACT: Behavioral science has long been puzzled by the experience
of temptation, the resulting impulsiveness, and the variably successful
control of this impulsiveness. In conventional theories a governing faculty
like the ego evaluates future choices consistently over time, discounting
their value for delay exponentially, that is, by a constant rate; impulses
arise when this ego is confronted by a conditioned appetite. Breakdown of
Will (Ainslie, 2001) presents evidence that contradicts this model. Both
people and nonhuman animals discount the value of expected events in a curve
where value is divided approximately by expected delay, a hyperbolic form
that is much more bowed than the rational, exponential curve. With
hyperbolic discounting, options that pay off quickly will be temporarily
preferred to richer but slower-paying alternatives, a phenomenon that, over
times on the order of days, can account for impulsive behaviors, and over
periods of fractional seconds can account for involuntary behaviors.
Contradictory reward-getting processes can in effect bargain with each
other, and stable preferences can be established by the perception of
recurrent choices as test cases (precedents) in recurrent intertemporal
prisoner's dilemmas. The resulting motivational pattern resembles
traditional descriptions of the will, as well as of compulsive phenomena
that can now be seen as side-effects of will: overconcern with precedent,
intractable but circumscribed failures of self-control, a motivated
("dynamic") unconscious, and an inability to exploit emotional rewards.
Hyperbolic curves also suggest a means of reducing classical conditioning to
motivated choice, the last necessary step for modeling many involuntary
processes like emotion and appetite as reward-seeking behaviors, which in
turn provide a rationale for empathic reward and the "construction" of
reality.
PRECIS KEYWORDS: Altruism; appetite; behavioral economics; compulsions;
conditioning; dynamic inconsistency; emotions; empathy; freedom of will,
impulsiveness; intertemporal bargaining; self-control; social construction;
volition; weakness of will

*** SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT ***
(1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review
In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able
to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our
limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make
it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per
year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and
biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you
would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review.
(Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the
basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you
indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you
nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of
potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential
impact!).

Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for
Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email. If you do not
wish to receive further Calls, please feel free to change your mailshot
status through your User Login link on the BBSPrints homepage, using your
