-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: "QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks" - IEEE DCOSS'10 Datum: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:49:19 +0300 Von: Thomas Lagkas <tlagkas(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies C A L L F O R P A P E R S QPWSN'10 1st International Workshop on "QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks" http://www.icte.uowm.gr/qpwsn10/ organized in conjunction with The 6th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '10) 23 June 2010, Santa Barbara, California http://www.dcoss.org/ Important Dates: Manuscript Submission: 23 April 2010 Acceptance Notification: 7 May 2010 Camera ready: 21 May 2010 Scope and Overview: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a modern kind of wireless networks, where numerous monitoring devices are interconnected to communicate their collected data. The literature has not paid yet enough attention to QoS in WSNs. This is mainly due to the currently unclear purpose and usage of the WSNs, which significantly differ from the traditional networks. However, modern WSN applications require traffic differentiation, guaranteed end-to-end delivery, low delay jitter, and high throughput. The sensors' limited resources and energy autonomy combined with the unreliable wireless medium make QoS support in WSN certainly challenging. Thus, new designs for offering QoS in WSNs are becoming necessary. This Workshop will try to analyze modern methods of providing QoS support in WSNs, explain all related issues, highlight the problems that arise when trying to provide QoS demanding services over wireless networks, present the theoretical background, bring out related solutions given so far, and moreover, exhibit the latest research concepts and relevant ideas regarding near-future implementations. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multimedia transmissions over WSNs - QoS capable routing algorithms for WSNs - Traffic prioritization schemes for WSNs - QoS supportive protocols for medium access control in WSNs - Power saving mechanisms for WSNs - Medical content transfer using sensors for telemedicine - Categorized data communications over environment monitoring WSNs - Novel applications for QoS aware WSNs - Cross-layer techniques for QoS provision in WSNs - Simulation of QoS aware WSNs - Analytical models for QoS aware WSNs Paper submission: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpwsn10. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, will appear in the DCOSS proceedings and will be included in the IEEE digital library. Please email to the workshop co-chairs if you have any questions. Workshop Co-Chairs: Thomas D.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and mobile communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 1st ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond (MCS 2010) Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:44:06 -0600 Von: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Antwort an: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Organisation: University of Colorado at Boulder An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies] MCS 2010 The First ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010, San Francisco, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~rhan/MCS2010.html with support from Nokia and Intel DESCRIPTION Mobile phone applications are exploding in popularity, and can strongly benefit from services and resources offered by cloud computing, including mobile social networking. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families
by Lars Wolf 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:09:25 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS A SPECIAL ISSUE of Ad Hoc Networks journal on "Recent advances in analysis and deployment of IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocol families" Guest editors: Jelena Misic, Ryerson University Vojislav B. Misic, Ryerson University INTRODUCTION ============ In the past several years, analysis of various aspects of IEEE 802.11e has resulted in large number of contributions. Researchers have addressed saturation and non-saturation conditions of Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) function, internal vs. external contention, Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), Transmission Opportunity (TXOP), Block Acknowledgement and Admission Control. However, due to the complexity of the standard there are still several areas that are not well investigated and not well understood, including interaction among protocol functions, interaction with higher protocol layers, interaction caused by multi-hopping, and interaction with other wireless technologies such as personal area networks and wireless sensor networks. A related protocol, IEEE 802.11p, is designed for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE), with higher layers supported by the recent IEEE standards 1609.1, 1609.2, 1609.3 and 1609.4. IEEE 802.11p differs from IEEE 802.11e in several important aspects, including lack of HCF and TXOP functionality. It is unique because it allows multi-channel operation and aggressive differentiation among traffic classes. Given the non-uniform node density in vehicular applications, it becomes crucial to avoid the saturation regime. Deployment of IEEE 802.11p in VANETs will require one-hop broadcasting as well as unicasting and multi-hop communications; as this will definitely affect all higher layer protocols, their interaction has to be carefully investigated. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to promote further research interests and activities on IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocols. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in all currently not-investigated aspects of those protocols. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-hopping with IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p; - Interconnection between personal area networks/ wireless sensor networks with IEEE 802.11e, and IEEE 802.11p; - Interaction between protocol functions e.g. HCF and EDCA; - Admission control in IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p with multiple protocol functions; - Interaction of higher protocol layers with IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p; - Multi-channel operation of IEEE 802.11p (WAVE); - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on infotainment applications in WAVE; - Modeling of Wireless Short Message Protocol over WAVE and interaction with TCP/UDP used for infotainment applications; - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on security functions in VANET. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Submit full papers via automated paper submission system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Make sure you select "Special Issue: IEEE 802.11e/p" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The papers must be less than twenty single-column double-spaced pages, excluding figures, tables, and references, using a 12-point font size.

Since the first conference in Paris (France) thirty years ago, the meetings are attracting world-class participants from all over the world, ranging from telecom operators and regulatory and standard bodies, through systems and software companies and research units from universities and industry, to systems integrators. The consecutive meetings have been held in Brighton, UK (1983), Innisbrook, USA (1986), Palma de Mallorca, Spain (1989), Kobe, Japan (1992), Sydney, Australia (1996), Sorrento, Italy (1998), Toronto, Canada (2000), Munich, Germany (2002), Vienna, Austria (2004), New Delhi, India (2006) and Budapest, Hungary (1994 and 2008). The conference will focus on network design and planning methods, the issues of routing, traffic flows and optimization that are necessary to deliver the promise of the Network of the Future. The motto of Networks 2010 is "Networks for the e-Society". There are many challenges in building networks with the appropriate performance for the e-Society, such that each step is cost-justified and helps drive profitable growth. The difficult issues of scalability, end-to-end network performance, network management, network and service control, reliability, security and interoperability must be carefully resolved, and solutions planned and implemented. The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following: * Network Design and Planning Methods * Migration to NGN and Mobile Broadband * Routing, Traffic Flows and Optimization * Convergence of Different Domains * Role of New Technologies, Developments and Standards * Network Planning Support Processes and Tools ------------------------------------------------------------------- International Management and Scientific Committee General Chair * Michał Pióro, Warsaw University of Technology (PL), Lund University (SE) Members * Alberto Ciarniello, Telecom Italia Mobile (IT) * Tibor Cinkler, BME-TMIT (HU) * Oscar Gonzalez-Soto, ITU Consultant (ES) * Joachim Gross, Arcor (DE) * Wolfgang Gross, Telekom (DE) * Hideaki Yoshino, NTT (JP) * Akiya Inoue, Chiba Institute of Technology (JP) * Sang-Baeg Kim, Korea Telecom (KR) * Bernard Liau, France Telecom (FR) * Hussein T.

The integration of heterogeneous networks in multi-access and multi-operator environment is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be "Always Best Connected (ABC)" so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. CON-WIRE will collect latest research ideas and issues on the convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Wireless Network Architectures * Middleware for wireless converged networks. * Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI) * IP-based Mobility Management * Efficient Handover Algorithms and RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks * Cross-Layer Schemes * Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques * Wireless network testbeds and applications * QoE in wireless converged networks Important Dates: Paper submission due: 4 April 2010 (Sun, 23:59 EST) (firm deadline) Author notification: 30 April 2010 Camera-ready due: 14 May 2010 Conference dates: 2-5 August 2010 Paper submission Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS as PDF files (formatted for letter (8.5x11-inch) paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts may not exceed 8 pages).
