Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. We solicit papers addressing the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, ...) - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Important dates: --------------------- Abstract Registration: 6 May 2011 Submission Deadline: 13 May 2011 Acceptance notification: 28 June 2011 We look forward to receiving your submission, -- Ahmed Helmy and Franck Legendre Chants'11 TPC Co-Chairs_____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [HotPlanet'11] submission deadline extended Datum: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:15:06 +0100 Von: Michal Piorkowski <michal.piorkowski(a)USI.CH> Antwort an: michal.piorkowski(a)usi.ch An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies for crossposting. Due to many requests we are extending the submission deadline for HotPlanet'11 workshop until the 7th of April 2011. Please note that the paper registration deadline is extended until the 31st of March 2011. ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement HOT PLANET 2011 Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2011, 28 June 2011, Washington DC USA http://www.hotplanetconf.net/ ========================================================================= It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad-hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. 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. Mobility Data Contest sponsored by Google ----------------------------------------- To make the whole event even more interesting, we will hold a competition for all the participants of the MobiSys conference and the associated workshops. The contest is sponsored by Google and you can find more details about it on the workshop website (http://www.hotplanetconf.net) under the 'Contest' section. The ceremony for the winners will take place during the last day of the ACM MobiSys conference. Important dates: ---------------- Paper registration deadline: March 31, 2011 Submission deadline: April 7, 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.

Fwd: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks" Datum: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:21:08 +0100 Von: <philippe.bertin(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] Call For Papers for MMFN 2011 International Workshop on Mobility Management for Flat Networks 6 October 2011 (date to be confirmed) In conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication www.wpmc2011.org 3-6 October, 2011 Brest, France Technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, IEEE Section France and SEE See also http://www.wpmc2011.org/Call_for_papers_MMFN_2011-591-0-0-0.html GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP ---------------------- Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on the move while communicating. Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network schemes. In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP addresses used for end-to-end communications. In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in the 3GPP. The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management schemes in flat networks. WORKSHOP THEME -------------- Original papers describing both theoretical and experimental results within the scope of Flat Networks Mobility Management are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Mobility management in flat networks * Distributed and dynamic mobility support * Paging and idle mode management in distributed and dynamic mobility schemes * Fully vs partially distributed mobility architectures * Scalability issues in current hierarchical/centralised mobility schemes * End-host vs Network mobility management * Distributed Mobility Management in LTE/EPC networks * Mobility management at transport or application layers * Data mobile usages analysis and forecast * Security and traceability concerns introduced by distributed mobility schemes * Identification and location management in distributed mobility approaches * Content networking in distributed mobile networks * Cloud networking in distributed mobile networks * Resource management in heterogeneous distributed mobility schemes * Flat and heterogeneous networks topologies * Energy efficiency of distributed mobility schemes PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers in English (maximum 5 pages) electronically in PDF format through the EDAS system.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline approaching: HotCPS 2011 (SCI indexed) Datum: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 10:37:50 +0100 Von: Jaime Lloret Mauri<jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] [Call for Papers] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPSCom 2011 The 4th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing http://cpscom.org/ Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CS, and IEEE TCSC Dalian, China, October 19¨C22, 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom'11 is the 4th edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2.
