Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (submission site open)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (submission site open) Datum: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 14:46:16 +0900 (KST) Von: 박정민<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================= Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =============================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: ·Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks ·Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks ·Resource management for machine and robotic networks ·Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing ·Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks ·Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks ·Cognitive machine and robotic networks ·Bio-inspired networking in robotics ·Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots ·Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines of IEEE Network Magazine, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: Paper submission will be handled electronically through EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10905). ·Paper submissions: October 15, 2011 ·Notifications to authors: January 15, 2012 ·Final manuscripts: March 1, 2012 ·Publication of special issue: May 2012 Guest Editors Seong-Lyun Kim Yonsei University, Korea slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr Dapeng Oliver Wu University of Florida, USA wu(a)ece.ufl.edu Klaus Schilling Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Germany schi(a)informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Well-known examples range from smart kitchen appliances and objects (smart coffee machines, smart knives and cutting boards, ...) to smart meeting rooms and even city-wide infrastructures. Smart objects are mostly fully functional on their own, but value is added by capabilities for communication and distributed reasoning. While a lot of research has focused on the many technical challenges involved in implementing smart objects, far less research has been conducted on the question of how interaction of users with these objects can be improved, either by leveraging the intelligence in the objects or by other means. Smart objects raise unique challenges and opportunities for designing interaction with intelligent systems: coping with the mostly limited interaction capabilities, exploiting context information to provide more natural interaction, helping the user to understand the behavior and capabilities of the objects .... This special issue will publish papers that address these issues from a variety of perspectives. The dimensions listed below indicate the range of work that is relevant to the special issue. In case of doubt about the relevance of your topic, please contact the guest editors.

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. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 Guest Editors of the Special Issue: Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, fcalabre(a)ie.ibm.com Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy, marco.conti(a)iit.cnr.it Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA, dahlem(a)mit.edu Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, giusydil(a)ie.ibm.com Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, UK, santi(a)newcastle.ac.uk _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2012 CFP Datum: Wed, 05 Oct 2011 12:24:44 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2012) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2012 (http://www.percom.org) March 19-23, Lugano, Switzerland ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).
