The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement (HotPlanet)
co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA
June 15, 2010
http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/

Important dates:
Paper registration deadline:   March 14, 2010
Submission deadline:   March 21, 2010
Authors notification:  April 18, 2010
Camera ready:          May 7, 2010
Workshop date:         June 15, 2010

It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile  research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available.

Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data.

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection,
   especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology
- Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets
- New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets,
   e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling
- Planet-scale data collection infrastructures
- Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection
- Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and
   contribute data on a planet-wide scale
- Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection
- Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable).

In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form<http://www.acm.org/publications/copyright_form>. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.

Papers should be submitted through EDAS at<http://edas.info/N8637>.
Further details are on the workshop website at<http://www.hotplanetconf.net/>
