According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further stressed. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges are: i) the definition of architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (Future) Internet; and ii) the creation of value-added services, esp. open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT/M2M - Communication protocols for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for the IoT/M2M - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT/M2M - Mobility management - Context awareness - Sustainable design - Location-based services and geographic information systems - Experimental prototypes and large-scale testbed infrastructures - Performance evaluation of IoT/M2M solutions - Convergence with the Internet of Services - Applications, including: eHealth/mHealth; Smart Grid/Smart Metering; connected consumer; fleet management; surveillance; Intelligent Transportation Systems; Smart House/Neighborhood/City - Business development and processes - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Accurate measurements of practical wireless deployments are vital for researchers to evaluate the real-world performance of proposed solutions. In addition to better understanding of systems, experimental wireless network measurements allow for better analytical and simulation models which are often limited by simplified protocol and wireless channel models. As a consequence, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the wireless networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We seek novel papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Experimentations and measurements of wireless networks: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating wireless networks (including location and energy consumption) * Measurement and characterization of mobile network (e.g., traffic, usage and mobility patterns) * Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models in actual wireless environments * Measurements-driven models and simulations of wireless networks operations * Measurements-based network management and troubleshooting * Large-scale or federated test-bed measurements * Home networking measurements - Techniques for wireless networks measurements: * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Techniques for validating the results obtained in wireless testbeds * Techniques for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds (e.g., wireless link emulation) * Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks, mesh networks, sensor networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, distributed computing paradigms, 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 limted to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication 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 * Distributed computing for mobile environments * Networked applications and services * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications ***************************************************************************** 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 Demo chair: Agoston Petz, University of Texas at Austin, USA Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, 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 TPC members Ken Banks, Kiwanja.net, South Africa Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Marcelo Dias de Amorim, CNRS, France Michael Doering, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon/INRIA, France Roy Friedman, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Bo Han, University of Maryland at College Park, USA Luigi Iannone, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Kyunghan Lee, North Carolina State University, USA Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Feng Li, Indiana University/Purdue University, USA Yong Li, Tsinghua University, China Jörg Ott, TKK, Helsinki, Finland Aaditeshwar Seth, IIT Delhi, India Julinda Stefa, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Bill Thies, Microsoft Research, India ***************************************************************************** ******************************* _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [RealWiN 2012] Call for paper Datum: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:07:29 +1300 Von: haibo zhang <zhangotago(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012 Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012 #### Scope: ########## During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general. Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial applications impose new challenges to wireless network design such as stringent requirements on reliability, real-time performance, latency of the communication, security, and networked control, even more stringent than time-critical best-effort applications like voice over IP. Despite the already high requirements, the desire is growing to use wireless communication in even more demanding industrial applications such as factory automation and motion control. This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on ’soft’ real time requirements as well as on ’hard’ real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc. In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction): - Physical layer design - Medium access control and interference management - Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis - Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking - Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation - Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation - Application scenarios and requirements - Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks - Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking - Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues - Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks - Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems - Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments #### Dates: ########## Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012 Notification: February 13th, 2012 Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012 #### Submissions and Review Process: ########## We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described above. Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column, single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012 Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email. #### Program Committee: ################## - Björn Andersson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA - Michael Bahr, Siemens CT, Germany - Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurth, Austria - James Gross, RWTH Aachen Universit, Germany - Michael Kaever, Siemens Industry Motion Control Systems, Germany - Kimmo Kansanen, NTNU Trondheim, Norway - Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany - Rolf Kraemer, Technical University of Cottbus, Germany - Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa, Italy - Thiemo Voigt, SICS, Sweden - Thomas Watteyne, DustNetworks, USA - Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand - Haibo Zhang, University of Otago, New Zealand - Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
