by Stefano Basagni

Dear Colleagues, please, find below the Call for Papers for MobiQuitous 04. PAPER REGISTRATION AND SUBMISSION ARE NOW OPEN via our electronic submission system (EDAS). See the conference web page for details. Notice that the paper submission deadline has been postponed to February 16 (with paper registration due by February 14). We *TRULY* apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers. *********************************************************************** PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS MobiQuitous 2004 http://www.mobiquitous.org The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services August 22-25, 2004 Boston, Massachusetts, USA Held in cooperation with AAAI Pending Sponsorhips: The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing ACM SIGMOBILE *********************************************************************** 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 first ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous 04) 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 PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.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 feature topics: * Ubiquitous architectures and systems * Wearable computing and personal area network * Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous communications (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) * Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems * 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, and mobile 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 must be at least 10 points. PUBLICATION: All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by technical program committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Kluwer Wireless Networks journal. TUTORIALS: Proposals for tutorials are solicited. Evaluation of tutorial proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the instructors, and on the relevance of the subject matter. Potential instructors are requested to submit a tutorial proposal of at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch, to the Tutorial Chair by March 1, 2004. DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A maximum of 3 pages should be submitted which include a description of the demo and needed equipment.

Details of the call are now available at the direct web site of the conference: http://www.ecvp.hu or at the official web site of ECVP: http://www.ecvp.org/ You will find below a short version of the call, without the details of instructions to authors (available on the Web). Scope and topics ECVP is the largest European meeting dedicated to the theoretical and applied aspects of visual perception spanning the fields of psychophysics, experimental psychology, cognitive sciences, the neurosciences (neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropsychology), neural networks, computer science, and ophthalmology. In accordance with this unique profile, the results presented at ECVP cover a wide range of themes in psychological, brain, and cognitive research related to vision, addressed by the means of electrophysiological, psychophysical, neural imagery, and computer simulation techniques. Each year the conference provides a forum for about 5-600 young and established scientists from Europe and other parts of the world to present their original contributions. All the abstracts of the conference are published in the journal Perception. More information about previous meetings is available at the official web site http://www.ecvp.org. Format The program of ECVP 2004 will consist of a plenary Perception Lecture, six invited symposia, talks, and poster presentations in two parallel oral sessions, accompanied by full-day poster sessions. The title of the symposia will be the following. * What do the extrastriate visual areas do? - Organizer : P. Lennie, NYU, USA * Functional Brain Imaging of Form and Motion Perception - Organizer : Z. Kourtzi, MPI, Germany * How visual development constraints adult vision - Organizer : R. Aslin, U. of Rochester, USA * Taking a second shot: Object perception across multiple fixations - Organizer : P. DeGraef, KUL, Belgium * Space, Time, and the Visual Control of Action - Organizer : M. Goodale, U. of Western Ontario, Canada * Natural colour constancy, retina or cortex? - Organizers : F. Cornelissen RUG, The Netherlands, and D. Foster UMIST, UK The list of confirmed speakers include: David Heeger, NYU, USA Matteo Carandini, Smith-Kettlewell, USA Jim Haxby, Princeton, USA Leslie Ungerleider NIH, USA Geoff Boynton Salk, USA Andrew Smith, U. of London, UK Mark Greenlee U. of Oldenburg, Germany Lars Muckli, MPI, Germany Oliver Braddick, UCL, UK Tony Movshon, NYU, USA Tony Norcia, Smith-Kettlewell, USA Shin Simojo, Caltech, USA Robert Gordon, NDSU, USA Rufin VanRullen, CNRS, France Philip Germeys, KUL, Belgium Martin Juttner, Aston University, UK David Millner, University of Durham, UK David Westwood, Dalhousie University, Canada Richard Andersen, Caltech, USA Yves Rossetti, INSERM Unit=E9 534, France Thomas Wachtler, U. of Marburg, Germany Maarten Kamermans, KNAW, The Netherlands Anya Hurlbert, U. of Newcastle, UK Steve Shevell, U. of Chicago, USA Karl Gegenfurtner, U. of Giessen, Germany Alex Wade, Smith-Kettlewell, USA Qasim Zaidi, SUNY, USA Location and timing The conference will be held in the very center of Budapest, at the University of Economic Sciences, on the banks of the river Danube. Budapest, is a uniquely exciting metropolis with a combination of geographic beauty, interesting architecture, lively cultural scene, famous cuisine and friendly locals making this city one of the most favorite tourist destinations in Europe. The end of August, when the conference is held, is one of the best times to visit the city for its pleasantly warm weather and slower pace. The conference is back-to-back to one of the major holidays of Hungary which is celebrated by a week-long cultural festivity with concerts and exhibitions and cumulates in spectacular fireworks on August 20th. The venue of ECVP 2004 and the prearranged accommodations are literally only steps away of the major attractions, the most sought after restaurants and the best bars of the city. Call for papers Submissions of original contributions to the 27th European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP 2004) are now accepted on-line at http://www.ecvp.hu Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before March 1st 2004. There is a *NEW* submission procedure for ECVP 2004. Authors need to register before submitting an abstract, but authors of rejected abstracts get fully reimbursed. Authors must indicate their choice for oral or poster presentation at the submission. For poster presentation, the authors have to submit a short abstract. For oral presentations, in addition to the short abstract a single-page pdf file is also required (in contrast to previous meetings!). The page can contain any type of additional information to the submitted work, including graphs, pictures of stimuli, additional text, control analyses and discussion. If the author chooses so, the page can contain no extra information other than the title of the work, the authors' name and affiliation. The extra page will be used by the reviewers to qualify the work, and will not be published in Perception or publicized otherwise. The quantity or absence of the extra information will not be a determining factor in judging the quality of the submission. The abstract has to be self-contained and should make no reference to the extra information. Submissions that do not qualify for talks will be automatically considered for poster presentation. Details of the new submission procedure can be found at the ECVP 2004 web site. Deadlines Submission of contributions: March 1, 2004 Notification of acceptance: May, 2004 Early registration: April 15, 2004 Registration fees Early fee (until May 2004): Students and postdocs - EUR 120 Regular delegates - EUR 175 Late fee (after May 2004): Students and postdocs - EUR 170 Regular delegates - EUR 225 A limited amount of financial support will be available to presenting graduate students and postdocs, especially to those coming from Eastern-European countries.

Catania/Pre-Commentary on Sagvolden et al: BBS Supplemental Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Below is a link to the forthcoming BBS pre-commentary entitled Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Delay-of-Reinforcement Gradients and Other Behavioral Mechanisms by A. Charles Catania http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Sagvolden-05152002/Referees/ This pre-commentary was invited by the Editor Jeffrey Gray and has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS). It will be co-published with the target article by Sagvolden et al. along with accepted commentaries and the author responses. BBS requests that you consider writing a commentary on this pre-commentary by A. Charles Catania. YOU MAY SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO COMMENT ON THIS PRE-COMMENTARY, THE TARGET ARTICLE, OR BOTH. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Catania pre-commentary is on this accepted target article A dynamic developmental theory of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) predominantly hyperactive/impulsive and combined subtypes by Terje Sagvolden, Espen Borga Johansen, Heidi Aase, and Vivienne Ann Russell http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Sagvolden-05152002/Referees/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, 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 suggest 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. An 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.) ======================================================================= ** IMPORTANT ** ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. (Please note that we only request expertise information in order to simplify the selection process.) Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable at the URL that follows the abstract and keywords below. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= PRE-COMMENTARY ON SAGVOLDEN ET AL. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Delay-of-Reinforcement Gradients and Other Behavioral Mechanisms A. Charles Catania University of Maryland ABSTRACT: Sagvolden, Johansen, Aase, and Russell (SJA&R) examine attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at levels of analysis ranging from neurotransmitters to behavior. At the behavioral level they attribute aspects of ADHD to anomalies of delay-of-reinforcement gradients. With a normal gradient, responses followed after a long delay by a reinforcer may share in the effects of that reinforcer; with a diminished or steepened gradient they may fail to do so. Steepened gradients differentially select rapidly emitted responses (hyperactivity) and they limit the effectiveness with which extended stimuli become conditioned reinforcers, so that observing behavior is less well maintained (attention deficit). Impulsiveness also follows from steepened gradients, which increase the effectiveness of smaller more immediate consequences relative to larger more delayed ones. Individuals who vary in the degree to which their delay gradients are steepened will show different balances between hyperactivity and attention-deficit. Given the range of ADHD phenomena addressed, it may be unnecessary to appeal to additional behavioral processes such as extinction deficit. Extinction deficit is more likely a derivative of attention deficit, in that failure to attend to stimuli differentially correlated with extinction should slow its progress. The account suggests how relatively small differences in delay gradients early in development might engender behavioral interactions leading to very large differences later on. The steepened gradients presumably originate in properties of neurotransmitter function, but behavioral interventions that use consistently short delays of reinforcement to build higher-order behavioral units as a scaffolding to support complex cognitive and social skills may nonetheless be feasible. KEYWORDS: ADHD, delay gradient, hyperactivity, attention deficit, observing responses, extinction deficit, impulsiveness, self-control, exponential decay, intervention http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Sagvolden-05152002/Referees/ ======================================================================= ======================================================================= *** 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.

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.
