Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following two successful editions of the workshop at ACM MobiSys 2009 and 2010, the third HotPlanet workshop will not only challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces but also to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques. To make the whole event even more interesting, we will hold a competition for all the workshop participants. The contest will be about the mobility data - the details will be unveiled soon. The ceremony for the winners will take place during the last day of the ACM MobiSys conference. Important dates: ---------------- Paper registration deadline: March 24, 2011 Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Authors notification: May 1, 2011 Camera ready: May 10, 2011 Workshop date: June 28, 2011 Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:_____________________________________________ - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - Techniques for mobility data storage and processing - Knowledge discovery from mobility data - Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection Workshop Chairs: ---------------- Michal Piorkowski, USI Lugano, Switzerland Brenton Walker, LTS University of Maryland, USA Program Committee: ------------------ Imad Aad, Nokia Research Center Lausanne, Switzerland David J.

Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom 2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSI protocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbed design and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must (i) be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), (ii) be in font size no smaller than 10 points, (iii) have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and (iv) fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the Mobicom 2011 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org<mailto:mobicom_pcchairs@acm.org>. BEST PAPER AWARD: All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award.

It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 (just a little room) -----------_____________________________________________ -- With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science New Mexico State University Homepage: www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra_____________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the itc list, click the following link: http://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:25:36 +1300 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <tccn(a)comsoc.org> CC: tapani.e.ristaniemi(a)jyu.fi, ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg, niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn, cleung(a)ece.ubc.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Technologies for Green Radio Communication Networks IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Since 2006, data traffic on wireless networks has grown by approximately 400% and is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming years. The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today’s communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks • Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks • Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks • Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. • Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques • Self-organizing/optimizing networks • Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs • Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management • Regulation and standardization • Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes • Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks • Operators’ experience • Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization • Energy minimization of system-wide components • Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic. Electronic submissions in PDF format is strongly encouraged and should be sent by email to ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg with cc to all the guest editors. Schedule • Manuscripts Due – March 1, 2011 • Acceptance Notification – June 15, 2011 • Final Manuscript Submission – July 15, 2011 • Publication Date – October 2011 Guest Editors Peter Han Joo Chong Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Email: ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg Cyril Leung University of British Columbia, Canada Email: cleung(a)ece.ubc.ca Zhisheng Niu Tsing Hua University, China Email: niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn Tapani Ristaniemi University of Jyväskylä, Finland Email: tapani.e.ristaniemi(a)jyu.fi Boon-Chong Seet Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand Email: bcseet(a)ieee.org _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
