-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM BuildSys deadline: 30 July 2010 Datum: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:17:37 +0200 Von: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> An: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> Call for papers: ACM BuildSys 2010, in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2010 http://buildsys.org/2010 2nd ACM Workshop On Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings and Surroundings Zurich, Switzerland - November 2, 2010. Important dates: * Submission deadline: 30 July 2010 * Notification of acceptance: 7 September 2010 * Camera Ready Due: 25 September 2010 * Workshop date: 2 November 2010 Technically co-sponsored by ACM. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The Proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and surroundings and the generation of energy awareness. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a key role in enabling energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in existing as well as new structures and be controlled via the Internet. In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage of diverse types of energy. Following the success of the past edition of the workshop, BuildSys 2010 focuses on the intersection between WSNs and energy in buildings by merging experts in the WSN domain and experts in the Building/Energy community in order to identify innovative solutions which achieve the broad goal of energy-reduction. The workshop welcomes sensor network-based techniques and applications that can clearly demonstrate how to: * Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and other forms of media to convey relevant information to users; * Systems that can influence a change of building occupant behaviour towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.; * Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial settings (e.g. data centres, HVAC, etc.) * Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an increase of production efficacy; * Model and simulate heating cooling lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys; * Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines); * Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and energy distribution (electricity, gas, water); Particular emphasis will also be given to: * Real evaluation of energy-saving techniques and case studies that demonstrate a decrease of energy expenditure in real scenarios; * Design of innovative architectures that are capable of reducing energy consumption and improve energy use efficiency; * Accurate case studies and issues experienced current energy systems and how sensor networks can improve the state of the art in building energy management; * Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy usage/production model and to predict future demands; * Innovative Sensor Network-assisted building monitoring systems (BMS); * Integration of WSNs and wired sensor systems (e.g., Powerline, exing BMS) for the energy management in buildings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal, Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" Datum: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:14:46 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Call for Papers Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal A Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission: August 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio Klara Nahrstedt Violet R.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have emerged to address this challenge by offering infrastructure and mechanisms to deliver content and services in a scalable manner. Nevertheless, modern applications do not just perform retrieval or access operation on content, but also create, modify and manage content, and actively place them at appropriate locations. To deal with such new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs) are being introduced. Design and implementation of robust and efficient CNs in large-scale computing environments demand the use of emerging paradigms and software technologies, such as Peer-to-Peer, Grid and the latest IT trend-Cloud computing. The integration of these emerging technologies in content delivery opens new perspectives in Internet technologies, raising new issues in the architecture, design and implementa tion of existing CDNs. The aim of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive guide on new ideas and results in the content networking domain. It will capture the state-of-the-art in the content networking domain in terms of design, architecture, applications for content and service delivery in the Internet and Clouds; optimization for Cloud-based content delivery; and performance measurement methodologies. Topics for potential articles for the special issue include, but are not limited to: * Content delivery and management on the Internet * Anycast-based Content Delivery Networks * Architecture and management of Cloud-based Content Networks * Protocols and mechanisms for content production and content outsourcing * Data management under Clouds and Content Networks * Mobility in content delivery * Dynamic content delivery and adaptive CDNs * Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), business models and service pricing * Content distribution internetworking scenarios, architectures, methodologies * Interoperability / portability of applications and data between different Cloud and CDN providers * Scalable, self-managing and autonomic Content Delivery Clouds * Content networks for scientific computing * Novel applications based on Cloud Computing and Content Networks Guest Editors ============= Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy g.fortino(a)unical.it Carlo Mastroianni, Italian National Research Council (ICAR-CNR), Italy mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it George Pallis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus gpallis(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy Mukaddim Pathan, CSIRO, Australia mukaddim.pathan(a)csiro.au Athena Vakali, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece avakali(a)csd.auth.gr Important Dates ============= Paper submission: 30 November, 2010 Acceptance notification: 30 April, 2011 Final papers: 31 July 2011 Submission Format =============== All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 20, 2010 (Extended)************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross- layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment- aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas.

For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
