Ideally, wireless users want to have the same services and capabilities that they have commonly come to expect with wired networks. However, to meet these objectives, the wireless community faces certain challenges and need an excellent understanding of all aspects of wireless networks. Wireless networks are large complex entities. This complexity brings to the many problems, such as network planning, resource management, Quality of Service scheduling, congestion and flow control, connection admission control, and Medium Access Control. These problems are outside the traditional communications background. They can be properly addressed with methodologies such as optimization, estimation, adaptation, fuzzy control, games control, robust stability, distributed control, hybrid control. For instance, recently, there has been a surge in research activities that utilize optimization techniques to analysis and design wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to bring research papers addressing the theme of control and optimization for wireless networks. Subject areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: -Applications of control theory to wireless network problems -Admission control, power control, and congestion control of wireless networks -Control system design base on wireless networks -Network utility maximization for wireless networks -Allocation of wireless network resources such as bandwidth, rate, or power -Optimization-based models of network traffic and topology -Digital communications signal processing algorithms via optimization methods -Cross-layer design through nonlinear optimization decomposition -Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless networks Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid - Special Issue on Cyber, Physical, and System Security for Smart Grid Datum: Sat, 01 May 2010 23:32:01 -0500 Von: Kui Ren <kren2(a)iit.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ************************************************************* Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid Special Issue on Cyber, Physical, and System Security for Smart Grid ************************************************************* Smart Grid technology aims at facilitating the reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital technology, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and adjust electricity use for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement. The development and deployment of Smart Grid technology has become an urgent global priority as its envisioned economic, environmental, and social benefits will be enjoyed not only now but also by generations to come. Numerous worldwide science foundations and governments are currently supporting the development and deployment of Smart Grid technology. The vision of Smart Grid relies heavily on the information and communications technologies as they will empower today’s power grid with the unprecedented capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, and empowering the consumer with tools for optimized energy consumption. One critical aspect of the Smart Grid related information and communications technologies is the cyber, physical and system security. Cyber, physical and system security includes the protection of networks and servers from unauthorized accesses and malicious attacks. Cyber, physical and system security also covers the protection of compromised control and measurement units from doing harm to the system, physical security, secure state estimation, intrusion detection, etc. Although critical, cyber and system security of Smart Grid are still largely remaining unaddressed, and many important questions need to be answered and critical problems need to be solved.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers __________________________________________________________________ ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 10, 2010 ********** Call for Papers: 4th Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems ADAMUS 2010 In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'10), to be held in Berlin, Germany, July 13-16, 2010 ICPS '10 web site : http://www.dai-labor.de/icps/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS 2010 Best Papers will be invited to extend for possible publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS, www.igi-global.com/IJARAS) WORKSHOP SCOPE __________________________________________________________________ The vision of mobile and ubiquitous systems is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in wireless communication and device miniaturization. The wide-spread industrial uptake of these sy- stems is however compromised by the abrupt changes and challenging dependability requirements imposed by the highly error-prone and heterogeneous mobile provisioning environment. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emer- ging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile social networks, smart urban mobility, wireless control of robots, and healthcare. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to provide analytical and simula- tion tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last three editions, ADAMUS 2010 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of discus- sion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose ori- ginal and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable appli- cations over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: - Dependability & adaptation requirements, and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; - Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; - Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based in- frastructures; - Context-aware service adaptation for mobile clients; - Frameworks and techniques enabling advanced/demanding applica- tions on mobile ubiquitous systems; - Human-machine interaction and usability; - Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; - Cross-layer adaptation techniques; - End-to-end approaches to the quality of e xperience of mobile services; - Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; - Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; - Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; - Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services; - Experience on real-world applications or prototypes of mobile ubiquitous systems. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style.
