Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications
by Lars Wolf 15 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:26:47 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au> Organisation: University of Sydney An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this CFP. ----- CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles (V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I), has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609 suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries, have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense. There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be popular with the public. The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment * Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure * Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication * Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET) * Cooperative communication and relaying * Opportunistic routing and forwarding * Location, navigation and mobility management * Geographical routing methods * Security and privacy in vehicular communications * V2V and V2I communications * Intra-vehicle wireless communication * Public transport communication systems * DSRC/WAVE standards * Experimental evaluation and testbed deployments * Applications of road and vehicular communications in safety and traffic management Submission Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (Lavy Libman, lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au).

Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques. The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas: - PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc. - Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc. - PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques; - Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc. - Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools. The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cognitive radio networks. - Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks. - Cooperative wireless networks. - QoS and radio resource management. - Future Internet architectures considering cognitive, autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects. - Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular (3G/4G) and satellite communications. - Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc. Venue ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MACOM 2010 will take place in the burgeoning 22@ innovation district in Barcelona, Spain.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems - SI on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems Datum: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:34:52 +0100 Von: Antonio Coronato <antonio.coronato(a)na.icar.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologize for multiple copies! ********************************************************************************* ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems http://taas.acm.org/ Special Issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems http://taas.acm.org/SpecialIssueFormalMethods.pdf ********************************************************************************* Aims and Scope Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems are increasingly realized for safety-critical domains that include healthcare, emergency scenarios, and disaster recovery. These domains present new challenges that include expressing, verifying and validating requirements and ensuring functional correctness. Formal methods are one approach to address these challenges. Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems add additional concerns to classical safety-critical applications and require rethinking how to apply well-established formal methods. Examples of these approaches include state-action models (e.g., labeled transition system, timed automata, and Petri nets) or process models (e.g., pi-calculus). Alternatively, semi-formal methods like ontologies or UML, a common specification language for the describing software models, model knowledge for context-aware applications. Both formal and semi-formal methods have their advantages and disadvantages. This special issue will address the state of the art: the research challenges, and the available methods, methodologies and tools to specify, validate, and verify pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems. Topics The special issue intends to focus on the above issues and solicits papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to formal and semi-formal methods for pervasive computing. Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Formal specification of pervasive, self-adaptive, self-organizing, and context-aware systems - Ontology based approaches - Specific UML profiles - Formal verification of specifications and implementations - Model-Checking techniques and tools - Run-time and automated verification - Methodologies, languages, and tools - Applications and experiences in critical scenarios (e.g. healthcare, disaster recovery, etc.) Submission Guidelines Papers should be up to 20 pages (appendixes are not included into the overall count of pages), formatted according to the guidelines provided at the ACM TAAS Web site (http://taas.acm.org/) and submitted via the TAAS manuscript central systems at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taas Please make explicit in the cover page that your paper is intended as a submission to the special issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems. Important Dates Submission deadline: 1st May 2010 First notification: 1st Oct. 2010 Revised papers: 15th Nov. 2010 Final notification: 31st Dec. 2010 Expected publication: 2011 Guest Editors Mohamed Bakhouya , University of Technologies of Belfort/Montbeliard, France - mohamed.bakhouya(a)utbm.fr Roy Campbell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA - rhc(a)illinois.edu Antonio Coronato, Institute for High Performance Computing and Networking, Italy - antonio.coronato(a)na.icar.cnr.it Giuseppe De Pietro, Institute for High Performance Computing and Networking, Italy - giuseppe.depietro(a)na.icar.cnr.it Anand Ranganathan, IBM TJ Watson Research Center, USA - arangana(a)us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
