-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: P2PNA SI on "Protocols and Algorithms for Mobile and Wireless Peer-to-peer Networks" (Submission Deadline: 01 November, 2010) Datum: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 22:16:20 -0400 Von: Mursalin Akon <mursalin(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] Call for Paper Journal of Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (Springer) URL: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/12083 Special Issue on Protocols and Algorithms for Mobile and Wireless Peer-to-peer Networks URL: http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP-12083… In recent years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift in the design of internet scale distributed systems, with widespread proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies. Peer-to-peer computing is an encroaching domain of very large scale distributed computing. The concept of P2P computing was developed to enable content distribution which is beyond the means of traditional client-server systems. Since then a number of P2P applications have been evolved. File sharing, voice communication, audio, and video streaming are the popular P2P applications. As a P2P system is a large scale, extremely dynamic, and decentralized system, besides the core logic, a wide range of research issues have to be addressed for deployment. Due to advances in wireless communication technologies, campus and enterprise-wide availability of wireless networks is already a reality. In some cases, an entire metropolitan area is covered by a single wireless network. Smartphones and handheld devices, equipped with modern communication interfaces, allow wireless data access from anywhere and at any time. Those devices and the associated data access services are attracting more consumers due to their decreasing prices. As a result, the demand to port network applications for mobile handheld devices is increasing. However, in spite of many interesting technological developments, wireless networks are still constrained by several factors, such as limited and expensive bandwidth and variable wireless channel conditions. Additionally, capability of mobile devices is restricted by their limited computing power, smaller memory and permanent storage, and extremely small power source. Dynamics of P2P networks simply worsen the scenario and make the deployment of P2P applications in wireless networks challenging. This special issue aims to portrait a picture of the recent studies in the realm of theories, systems and, solutions for P2P networks and applications in wireless and mobile environment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - P2P architectures in wireless and mobile networks - Efficient searches in wireless and mobile P2P networks - Trade-offs between replication, bandwidth, storage, and search costs - Energy aware P2P networks in wireless and mobile networks - Channel/bandwidth awareness in wireless and mobile P2P networks - Business logic in wireless and mobile P2P networks - P2P content distribution in wireless and mobile networks - Caching in wireless and mobile P2P networks The review process is divided into two phases. Only most relevant contributions will be considered for the second phase, where rigorous technical reviews will be requested. Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: 01 November, 2010 Notifications from 1st Phase: 01 December, 2010 Notifications from 2nd Phase: 01 March, 2011 Camera Ready Submission: 15 April, 2011 Date of Publication: Late 2011 Sincerely, Guest Editors, Sagar Naik, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo (snaik(a)uwaterloo.ca) Mursalin Akon, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo (mmakon(a)uwaterloo.ca)

In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, 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 algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs _Submission process: _Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

The CFP web address: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/its.html The development of intelligent transport systems (ITSs) brings the promise of improved load 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] ICC'11 PlanNet - Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks Datum: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 19:34:23 +0800 Von: Lingyang Song <lingyang.song(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Sorry for the cross posting. ------ IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks (PlanNet2011) , Kyoto, Japan, June, 2011 www.ieee-icc.org/2011 **Aim of the Workshop** The goal of future wireless networks is to provide ubiquitous connections and support high data rate demand. The WiMAX, LTE, and LTE-Advanced standardizations have already processed toward this direction but still require significant improvements. Network planning and optimization faces many challenges arising from the use of new air interfaces and new technologies (e.g., MIMO, smart antennas, cooperative relay), the mix of voice, video and data traffic, the co-existence of different RATs (Radio Access Technologies), the growing importance of indoor coverage and the paradigm shifts (e.g., femtocells). The future wireless networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. This workshop will bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, radio network planning and optimization consulting firms and tool producers) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future wireless communication networks deployment, planning and optimization. Topics of interest relating to network planning and optimization and future wireless communications are (but not limited to): * Automatic UMTS/HSPA/LTE/LTE-A/WiFi/WiMAX radio network planning and optimization methods * The use of measurements in radio network planning and optimisation * Indoor network planning and optimization (BBU+RRU, repeaters, DAS, picocells and femtocells) * Heterogeneous wireless networks (UMTS/HSPA/LTE/WiFi/WiMAX/DVB) simulation, planning and optimization * Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in LTE and LTE-Advanced networks * Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios **Submission Guidelines** PlanNet accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 5 pages, including tables and figures (up to 2 extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Submission is via EDAS. For EDAS settings, file format is PDF and page size is A4. **Important Dates** Paper submission deadline: Oct 15, 2010 Accept/reject notice: Jan 15, 2010 Camera read submission: Feb 15, 2010 **Organizing committee** Workshop General Chair Prof. Jie Zhang, CWiND, University of Bedfordshire, UK Workshop TPC Chairs Prof. Lingyang Song, Peking University, China Workshop Industry Chair Hui Song, Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd., UK _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
