| | | First International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms, Houston, US | Event date:
2011-12-05 The First International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms will be held from 5 to 9 December 2011 in Houston, US.
Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques to communicate the network devices to transfer data. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behaviour, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences.
The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms.
The event will look at the design, development, analysis and optimisation of smart communication protocols and algorithms at various communication layers. The event programme is planned to include analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers and papers addressing key problems and solutions.

| | | Fifth International Conference on Complex Distributed Systems, Mannheim, Germany | Event date:
2011-12-05 The Fifth International Conference on Complex Distributed Systems will take place from 5 to 7 December 2011 in Mannheim, Germany.
The term 'cloud computing' refers to the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network, such as applications, databases, file services, email, etc. In the traditional model of computing, both data and software are fully contained on the user's computer. In cloud computing, though, the user's computer may contain almost no software or data (perhaps a minimal operating system and web browser only), serving as little more than a display terminal for processes occurring on a network of computers far away.
Cloud computing is a very popular topic in information technology and is seen by some as one of the very piers of the future internet. The benefits and the risks of the delivery of all types of services via the cloud have relevance for industry, business, academia and governments.
With cloud computing the processing of information will become a pervasively accessible utility and commodity. Despite the distributed locations and heterogeneous control and administration of cloud resources, predict some stakeholders, cloud computing will be easy-to-use and indispensable for everyday life and working.
The event will be a forum for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge research and development progresses in all areas related to architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of Cloud computing, services and environments.

| | | Water and society, Las Vegas, US | Event date:
2011-12-05 An international conference on water and society will take place from 5 to 7 December 2011 in Las Vegas, US.
The comparative abundance of water has led to issues of neglect in the past. While science is now looking at many different issues surrounding one of the most common substances on the planet, problems such as water degradation and contamination are impossible to resolve without the participation of many different disciplines.
The conference will try to bridge the gap between the broad spectrum of social sciences and humanistic disciplines and physical sciences such as biology, environmental sciences, health and others.
The conference will provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of many issues affecting water resources today.

| | | Third Workshop on Technology for Healthcare and Healthy Lifestyle, Valencia, Spain | Event date:
2011-12-01 The Third Workshop on Technology for Healthcare and Healthy Lifestyle will take place from 1 to 2 December 2011 in Valencia, Spain.
In public health, information management and communication processes are crucial processes. While facilitated or limited by available information and communication technology, they have particular value in responding to shared global health challenges such as emerging epidemics or the health consequences of natural disasters. Information and communication technology (ICT) has the potential to impact to help impoverished communities access services that respond to their priorities and needs.
The workshop will highlight the use of technology with the aim of sharing the recent advancements. Discussion on the concept of the technologies of internet 2.0 and the impact that these ones have on the current health systems will be the main focus.

| | | 'Workshop on integrating mobile devices into the car ecosystem', Salzburg, Austria | Event date:
2011-11-30 An event entitled 'Workshop on integrating mobile devices into the car ecosystem' will take place on 30 November 2011 in Salzburg, Austria.
The integration of mobile devices into the car ecosystem is an area of increasing interest researchers and industry. Integration goes beyond using the core features (such as making phone calls, short messaging, or using social media networks) of such devices. In the near future, for example, tablets and smartphones may be a vital part of car-enabling services.
This type of development leads to a number of research questions regarding software and the domain of software engineering.
The event will look at current challenges and promising approaches for integrating mobile devices into the automotive environment. Challenges regarding requirements engineering, user experience and software architecture will be addressed from different stakeholder viewpoints.
