-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] IEEE ComMag SI on "Communications Middleware for Mobile Devices and Applications" Datum: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:28:39 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ***************************************************************************************************** Call for Papers - *IEEE Communications Magazine *Special Issue on *"Communications Middleware for Mobile Devices and Applications" *Paper submission deadline: December 31, 2010 Special issue publication: September 2011 ***************************************************************************************************** Since device miniaturization, wireless communications, and ubiquitous availability of sensors and computing/memory resources are making more and more feasible mobility-enhanced services to exploit all potential and opportunities of mobile computing, the ultimate goal of the mobility scenarios is becoming the realization of ubiquitous, pervasive, and eventually disappearing computing, i.e., the seamless and transparent collaboration of wireless devices to most human activities without the need of explicit user/administration intervention. However, this vision introduces novel challenging issues and strong motivations for next generation middleware supports (either infrastructure based or peer-to-peer) capable of simplifying the development, deployment, and runtime management of mobile applications that adapt to their changing execution environments with minimum impact and complexity for application developers. In particular, we claim that there is the need for novel middleware solutions capable of addressing connectivity-level, location-dependent, and context-dependent support aspects, by specifically focusing on tremendously challenging research issues, such as scalability and interoperability in open wide-scale deployment environments, which are all crucial for next generation mobile applications. According to this vision, this special issue intends to disseminate the latest results in the emergent and large research area of middleware for mobile devices and applications, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art about middleware architectures, mechanisms, algorithms, and integrated frameworks. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment over real wide-scale execution environments are welcome, as well as original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas. In other words, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to heterogeneous mobile connectivity (always best served, simultaneous exploitation of multiple heterogeneous wireless interfaces, ); - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to location-dependent mobile applications; - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to context-dependent mobile applications; - Power-aware middleware for mobile devices and mobile applications; - Middleware for better exploitation of ubiquitous and under-utilized connectivity resources; - Infrastructure-based or peer-to-peer middleware for mobile collaborations and emerging aggregated behaviors of collaborative sharing; - Performance, reliability, and efficiency of middleware supports for mobile applications; - Scalability of middleware solutions over large deployment environments; - Practical experience with standards, standardized cross-layer APIs, and open deployment environments; - Middleware for mobile application porting and device fragmentation issues; - Predictive mobility/traffic models for proactive middleware management; - Simulation aspects and tools for mobile middleware; - Security (in particular, privacy) for mobile middleware; - Middleware for mobile application and smartphone platforms (Java ME, Windows Mobile, .NET Compact Framework, Android, iPhone, Symbian, etc.); - Middleware for mobile communications in urban-scale smart environments (smart homes, smart cars, smart cities, etc.); - Middleware for mobile applications for social networking, gaming, healthcare, culture, tourism, commerce, targeted advertising, etc. _Submission Process: _Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside this special field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP, Deadline Extended to 31 October ICC 2011 Workshop, E2NETS Datum: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:39:30 +0200 Von: Ertan Onur - EWI <E.Onur(a)tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies) IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop On Energy Efficiency in Ad hoc Networks & Ad hoc Networks for Energy Efficiency (E2Nets) Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: October 31, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: January 11, 2011 Camera‐Ready Submissions: February 11, 2011 CFP: http://www.ieee-icc.org/resource/workshop_pdf/S4_ICC2011_Workshop_E2NETS_CF… Workshop web link: http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl Workshop submission link: http://edas.info/N9287 The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumptio n is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. In E2Nets, the following topics of energy efficiency in sensor, mesh, and ad-hoc networks are considered: ・ Physical layer techniques, channel or network coding for energy efficiency ・ Methodologies and architectures for energy efficiency ・ Energy-efficiency measures ・ Energy-efficient flooding and multicast ・ Energy-efficient device and service discovery ・ Collaborative, cooperative, cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency ・ Algorithms for scheduling and resource management ・ Energy harvesting ・ Cognitive networking for energy reduction in large scale environments ・ Device level collaboration and cognition for energy efficiency ・ User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns ・ Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals ・ Energy efficiency using harvesting in sensor, ad hoc, mesh and vehicular networks. To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial, home, office environments, applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: ・ ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. ・ Energy efficient cloud computing and emerging applications, ・ Sensor and ad hoc networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments ・ Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions ・ ICT for energy-efficient data centers The first workshop in Cape Town with ICC-2010 was well received with approximately 33% acceptance ratio. The highlights of the workshop were: (a) an open forum allowing everyone to participate actively and debating the ideas to be pursued further; and (b) papers from many fields and areas focusing on energy efficiency issues related to ICT. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Paper submission is via EDAS. IEEE publication policy and author guidelines can be found on http://www.ieee-icc.org/2011/author_guide.php. Paper length should be 5 pages (A4, pdf) max, with one page extra at an over-length charge.

CfP Workshop on Semantic Services for the Internet of Things (SSIT) (at KiVS’11, Kiel, Germany)
by Alexander Kröller 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

============================================================================ SSIT 2011 Call for Papers Workshop on Semantic Services for the Internet of Things (SSIT) co-located with the the 17th Conference on "Communication in Distributed Systems 2011" (KiVS’11, Kiel, Germany) Workshop date: 10-11.03.2011 (Thursday afternoon – Friday until lunch) http://www.kivs11.de/lang/en/workshops/workshop-on-semantic-services-for-th… ============================================================================ Today, people perceive the Internet as a system to request information from servers (Web 1.0) or to contribute information (Web 2.0). In the meantime, embedded computing has developed and grown enormously, where tiny autonomous devices, such as wireless sensor nodes, form distributed sensing systems. The next grand challenge is the amalgamation of the Internet and the world of embedded devices to form an Internet of Things (IoT) where all kinds of devices extend the Internet into the physical world. The advent of an interoperable MAC layer (IEEE 802.15.4) and IPv6 connectivity for resource-constraint devices (6LoWPAN) are essential first steps. However, as the number of IoT devices is envisioned to surpass the number of nodes in the Internet by several orders of magnitude, IP connectivity is just a first milestone on the way of designing and developing IoT applications. Beyond basic networking there is a need for unifying concepts, methods, and software infrastructures that allow the efficient development of robust, interoperable, and scalable IoT applications spanning and integrating the Internet and the embedded world. Open issues include discovery, search, and management of services as well as service invocation on IoT devices in a highly scalable manner. Another fundamental aspect is the unified description of the semantics of the services provided by the embedded devices. While existing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are designed for PC class devices, there is a lack of light-weight approaches suitable for the resource constraints of embedded devices. The goal of this workshop is to exchange ideas and first results between experts working in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things (IoT), Algorithms, and Semantics. Particular topics of interest for papers to be submitted include, but are not limited to: * Internet of Things / Wireless Sensor Networks * Web-based Architectures * SOAs for Resource-constraint Environments * Interaction Patterns * Application Development * Management and Discovery * Real-World Applications for the Internet of Things * Seamless Integration with the (Future) Internet * Heterogeneity in Large-scale Networks * Light-weight Semantics of Services * Algorithmic Aspects of Large-scale Systems ----------------------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------------------- * Paper Submission Due: 31.10.2010 * Notification: 28.11.2010 * Paper-ready version: 19.12.2010 * Workshop: 10-11.03.2011 (Thursday afternoon – Friday until lunch) ----------------------------------------- Technical Program Committee ----------------------------------------- * Karl Aberer, EPFL, Switzerland * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany * Stefan Fischer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Manfred Hauswirth, National University of Ireland, Ireland * Horst Hellbrück, University of Applied Sciences Lübeck, Germany * Stamatis Karnouskos, SAP Research, Germany * Alexander Kröller, Braunschweig Institute of Technology, Germany * Werner Kuhn, University of Münster, Germany * Pedro Jose Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany * Dennis Pfisterer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Kay Römer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Kai-Uwe Sattler, TU Ilmenau, Germany * Heiner Stuckenschmidt, University of Mannheim, Germany ----------------------------------------- Submission Instructions ----------------------------------------- Prospective participants are invited to submit papers containing original unpublished material only. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will be published in the Electronic Communications of the EASST (ECEASST), a peer-reviewed, scientific and open access journal. Submissions must conform to the ECEASST submission format and rules and may not exceed 12 pages (for details see http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/index.php/eceasst/about/submissions).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Journal SI on Network Routing and Communication Algorithm for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Datum: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 23:54:58 +0200 Von: Jong-Hyouk Lee <jonghyouk(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Special Issue on Network Routing and Communication Algorithm for Intelligent Transportation Systems, EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking (The most recent Impact Factor for this journal is 0.732 according to 2009 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters (ISI) in 2010). The CFP web address: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/its.html The development of intelligent transport systems (ITS) brings the promise of improved road safety and comfortable/infotainment driving environments. Recent advances of wireless vehicular communications supporting vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications have become a cornerstone of ITS. Wireless vehicular communications for ITS is one of the most interesting and active research topics, which is requiring vital efforts from both the industry and the academic. In particular, studies on network routing and communication algorithm for V2V and V2I have posed various challenges. Most of the current works on V2V and V2I communications mainly focus on non-IP data communications. These challenges require developing new network routing protocols and design communication algorithms, especially for IP data communications. This special issue is intended to bring together the industry and academic working on different aspects related to ITS and to highlight the state-of-art research on ITS. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * IP mobility protocol issues for ITS * Alert, safety, and infotainment communication algorithm issues for ITS * Bandwidth allocation and resource scheduler issues for ITS * Addressing, routing, and data transmission issues for ITS * Security and access control management issues for ITS * Practical standard development issues for ITS * Case studies of ITS applications Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TVT Special Section on Telematics Advances for Vehicular Communication Networks Datum: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:50:38 +0300 Von: Spyros Vassilaras <svas(a)ait.edu.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers ******************************************************************************************** IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section: Telematics Advances for Vehicular Communication Networks ******************************************************************************************** Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) is a promising technology to improve driving safety, reduce traffic congestion and support information services in vehicles. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications is approaching. During recent ITS development, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between automobiles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Technology and applications for ITSs and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private and public sectors to exchange new ideas. This special section aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), information dissemination, road safety, ITS and emergency services. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for inter-vehicle communication environments. This special section will also address numerous significant standardization efforts (IEEE 802.11p, p1609, TIA TR48, etc.) and some alternatives or improved systems. Topics of Interest: * Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods: - Floating vehicles - Traffic and flow modelling and analysis - Remote service provisioning and over-the-air upgrading technology - Data replication, caching and pre-fetching protocols * V2V and V2I communications: - Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy - Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, GPS) - Mobility or handover technology - System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics - PHY issues: channel measurement, channel modelling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. * New ITS/Telematics applications: - Safety and driver-assistance applications - Congestion control by cooperative data analysis - Reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission * Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities: - Results from large-scale experimental systems, test beds and field trials - Hardware implementation and infrastructure deployment - Deployment strategies and predictions - Standardization and development of VANETs: efforts and problems on 802.11p WAVE, 802.11s MESH, DSRC, etc. Paper Submission: Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission procedure which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page http://transactions.vtsociety.org/ under Information for Authors.
