We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, user experiences and web applications. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter. Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: • Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems • Real deployments of networks in extreme environments • Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments • User experience research • Delay tolerant networking • Low-power and intermittent-power protocols • Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications • Networked applications and services Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Sascha Trifunovic, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of Cambridge, UK Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Mischa Dohler <mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es> schrieb: Dear all, It has recently been decided to re-brand and re-fresh the transactions formerly known as European Transactions on Telecommunications (ETT) towards the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (still ETT). News related to this change are and will be announced at http://tinyurl.com/6cnhajw. The topics of preference within this re-focused transactions will be on Emerging Telecommunication Paradigms (such as machine-to-machine, smart grid, green communications, optical wireless communications, bio-inspired and nanoscale communications); as well as on disruptive access technologies, novel networking systems, etc. A more detailed list on its aims and scope is available from http://tinyurl.com/6l7fmks. Some core characteristics of the ETT are: i) we have generally reduced reviewing cycles now to some weeks; ii) the publication of papers deemed to be of importance to the community can be fast-tracked to virtually immediate publication; iii) the journal is indexed with an impact factor of 0.45 which is raising; iv) acceptance rates are around 25%; and v) reviews are lately of substantial depth. The type of papers we are accepting are: i) traditional transactions papers; ii) short letters; iii) survey/tutorial/position papers (please consult with me first); and iv) papers accepted from special issues on emerging telecoms technologies. Whilst the official change will only be effective as of 1 January 2012, I thought of dropping you a message already. I greatly welcome submissions related to above topics already, which will naturally get more preference over the traditional topics of the ETT. We will also shortly commence with special issues, with the first special issue being on machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and a second one on quality-of-experience; more details are to follow. Please, feel free to forward this email to your colleagues and of course submit an article yourself. If you have any questions or doubts, please, do not hesitate contacting me.

This area of research is in its early stages and there is still much to be done in order to realize the vision of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The aim of vehicular communication systems, and thus ITS, is to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment and location-based services for mobile users. To facilitate both safety and non-safety applications, the integration of communications and computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems becomes a must. These result in various types of cooperative vehicular communications and networks: intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-roadside (V2R), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. While many conferences and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss vehicular communication, network protocols and solutions, only few research works addressed issues related to measurements, modeling and experimentations in such systems. So, the primary objective of the WVCN workshop will be to discuss the issues related to these themes. The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental, measurement and modeling aspects of vehicular communications and networks, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished. Topics of interest: ============== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Channel and radio propagation measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Data traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Capacity analysis and Modeling • Modeling MAC, network and transport layer protocols for vehicular networks • Modeling user demand and telematics services characterization • New measurement methodologies and infrastructures • Innovative measurement methodologies and tools • Simulation and experimentation of Vehicular Communication Systems (VANET, Vehicular Mesh Networks, Cellular- based Vehicular Networks, ...) • Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies • Experimental evaluation of telematic applications and services • Design & evaluation of vehicular testbeds, prototypes and platforms • Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments and measurement campaigns • Field Operational Testing (FOT) results • Security and QoS issues in Vehicular Communication Systems Main Sponsor: ============ IAPP CARMESH project (An FP7 Marie Curie Industry Academia Partnership Pathway project) The IAPP CARMESH project will provide a certain number of travel grants for students, young researchers and potentially confirmed researchers (authors of accepted papers).

A large body of research, from various perspectives, have been produced by both the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities to achieve self-organization and coordination of groups of sensors, actuators, robots or drones toward target-oriented missions. But, the convergence of objectives and methodologies of the two disciplines is still open for further significant research efforts and challenging problems remain. The research on ad hoc networks, autonomic networks, cyber physical systems, self-organizing networks and machine-to-machine communications has involved issues, concepts and challenges that are useful for characterizing the pathway toward the formalization of the theory and the definition of algorithms for Wireless Networked Robotics (WNR). WNR brings together the physical control of the devices along with their communication capabilities and it includes that so far have been either neglected or only partially explored by the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities. In WNR some or all of the devices are expected to have memory and reasoning capabilities, which allow them to use the input coming from other devices, the environment and their history to select the best behaviour to assume according to mission objectives. Therefore, machine learning and cognitive networks concepts and algorithms would greatly contribute to WNR theory and algorithms. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the theory, algorithms and applications of wireless networked robotics. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - algorithm and theory of cooperation and coordination in WNR modelization, simulation and evaluation of coordination and cooperation schemes in WNR - communication and motion aware protocols for WNR - impact and optimization of network performance through physical and communication control of the devices - bio-inspired algorithms for cooperation and coordination in WNR self-organization in WNR - swarm intelligence and swarm robotics algorithms in WNR use cases and applications for WNR A full description can be found at the following address: http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/call_for_papers_WNR.pdf --------------------------------------------- *Submission Format and Guideline: * --------------------------------------------- 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.

Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially, economically and yes, even psychologically. This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. Submission process: All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive Urban Applications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

These systems' availability, reliability, dependability, security, and privacy, all lend support to many core societal needs including: critical utility infrastructure, finance and banking, health services, production and manufacturing, leisure and entertainment, and e-Government. Improving our ability to engineer such systems requires a good understanding of how they behave at scale in the real world. Unfortunately, resource constraints have generally restricted research from pursuing such evaluation and testing work. Recently, test beds in the order of 100-node have become relatively commmonplace, and combined with the development of larger-scale platforms such as EmuLab and DETER, they have advanced our knowledge considerably. Following the success of QuEST09 in Bradford UK, QuEST10 in Perth Australia, and QuEST 11 in Singapore, this workshop focuses on the issues, requirements, and tools to support real-world representative at scale testing, and results obtained through such testing efforts. Statistically representative quantitative measures and evaluations required for the development and assessment of large-scale systems and applications are of particular interest. Original research works addressing the state-of-the art large-scale system testing, evaluation and behavioural prediction are solicited in the following areas (but not limited to): * Test bed development * Measurement and instrumentation tool development * In situ system testing * Real-world system modeling * Real-world application characterization * Real-world system emulation * Real-world case studies * Cyber security * Workload and traffic generation * Distributed system dependability, scalability, and capacity * Network engineering design * Large-scale engineering, scientific and data-intensive algorithms Submission Deadline: Extended to November 1, 2011 (23:59 PST) Author Notification: December 1, 2011 Author Registration Deadline: December 23, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: January 6, 2012 Original full papers of at most 6 (six) pages including figures and references in PDF (Proceedings Style: two columns, single-spaced, 10 font) are solicited. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present at the conference. Accepted papers will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CSP) and archived in the Digital Library. Extended version of selected papers will be considered for publication in international journals. _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, and embedded systems design. IPSN is part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPS Week), which will bring together other leading CPS conferences including International Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC'12), International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS'12), and IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS'12). The IPSN conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact program chairs with questions or clarifications. As an example of the different foci, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, while details on the hardware and software platforms and tools used in the deployment should be submitted to SPOTS. The Information Processing (IP) track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded sensors. Topics covered in this track include, but are not limited to: - Applications and deployment experiences - Coding, compression and information theory - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Fundamental bounds and formulations - Location, time, and other network services - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Network protocols - Programming models and languages - Innovative mobile sensing applications - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track focuses on new hardware and software architectures, modeling, evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, implementations, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems. Submissions are expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and implementations. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are not limited to: - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures - Embedded software for sensor networks - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and study/compare the performance of platforms and tools - Network health monitoring and management - Operating systems and runtime environments - Simulation ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): Kamin Whitehouse, University of Virginia Demo Chair: Fred Jiang, Microsoft Research Asia Poster Chair: Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Publications Chair: Jie Gao, SUNY Stony Brook Finance and Sponsorship Chair: Xenofon Koutsoukos, Vanderbilt University Web Chair: Nic Lane, Microsoft Research Asia Publicity Co-Chairs: Luca Mottola, Swedish Institute of Computer Science and Ying Zhang, Palo Alto Research Center STEERING COMMITTEE Feng Zhao, Chair, Microsoft Research Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC Deborah Estrin, UCLA Leo Guibas, Stanford P.R.
