-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TPDS Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:24:27 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org, tccn(a)comsoc.org, dmanet(a)zpr.uni-koeln.de, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. As an author, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to our submission guidelines. You can access them by clicking on the following web link: http://www.computer.org/mc/tpds/author.htm. Please thoroughly read these before submitting your manuscript. Please submit your paper to Manuscript Central at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tpds-cs.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] cfp: Casemans 2011 - in conjunction with Ubicomp 2011 - Submission deadline: 25.06.2011 Datum: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 05:19:18 +0200 Von: Stephan Sigg <sigg(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Antwort an: sigg(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu The 5th ACM international workshop on context-awareness for self-managing systems (casemans 2011) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2011/casemans/index.html in conjunction with The 14th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2011/ CFP Recent advances in mobile and wireless technologies have contributed to the global availability and sharing of large-scale information. As a result, many noble and ubiquitous applications are emerging in the areas of healthcare, social networking, disaster avoidance and overcoming, independent living, etc. The desirable progress in the availability and sharing of information is not without side-effects or formidable challenges. Firstly, extracting the useful information from a large quantity of information in a seamless and timely manner is not simple. Secondly, the devices or mechanisms by which the information is gathered and processed are often limited in their processing and storing capability, which in turn has an effect on the quality of the information. Third, in a ubiquitous computing environment, it is not always possible to expect stable and reliable (as well as always available) sources to obtain critical data from the environment. Hence, noble data gathering, processing and delivery mechanisms are required for robust and reliable adaptation to take place in ubiquitous computing. With this respect, the Casemans 2011 workshop aims to complement the main Ubicomp 2011 conference by setting the focus of the workshop on investigating ways: # Of self-managing paradigms to seamlessly acquire and process context related data from various context sources. # To building self-managing systems that employ context information to support seamless adaptation. This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2010 by introducing three full paper sessions. Additionally, the workshop will feature a combined demo, poster and video session to foster hands-on experience, discussion and collaboration among participants. Each full paper session focuses on papers with solid research result. Furthermore, for each session, one visionary paper with work-in-progress reports will be accepted. These short papers (4 to 6 pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even controversial studies that encourage further research. The demonstrables are short papers (not more than 2 pages) and are accompanied by demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of context-awareness and autonomic service executions. Scope Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the # following terms: Context-awareness in cloud computing # Context-awareness in energy-efficient computing # Context-awareness in smart spaces # context-awareness in wireless sensor networks # Context-awareness in social networking # Context-awareness in robotics # Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution # Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction # Context-awareness in Organic Computing # Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Important Dates * Paper submission: 25 June 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: 15 July 2011 * Camera-ready deadline: 30 July 2011 Workshop Organisers: * Tomoko Yonezawa, Kansai University, Japan * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Underwater operations and applications are quite limited by comparison. Most applications refer to remotely controlled submersibles and wide-area data collection systems at a coarse granularity. Underwater sensor networks have many potential applications such a seismic imaging of undersea oil fields as a representative application. Oceanographic research is also based on the advances in underwater data collection systems. > > There are specific technical aspects to realize underwater applications which can not be borrowed from the ground-based sensors net research. Radio is not suitable for underwater systems because of extremely limited propagation. Acoustic telemetry could be used in underwater communication; however off-the-shelf acoustic modems are not recommended for underwater sensor networks with hundreds of nodes because they were designed for long-range and expensive. As the speed of light (radio) is five orders of magnitude higher than the speed of sound, there are fundamental implications of time synchronization and propagation delays for localization. Additionally, existing communication protocols are not designed to deal with long sleep times and they can not shut down and quickly restart. > > The International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems, MarSS, brings together practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects pertaining to the new mechanisms for underwater sensor networks and applications. > > > Topics of interest: > Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: > > • Protocols for underwater sensor networks > • Hardware for marine sensors and systems > • Marine observatories and Infrastructures > • Underwater wired systems > • Underwater wireless sensor networks > • Sensors and system for marine neutrino telescopes > • Acoustic and radio underwater communication > • Aquatic environments and applications > • Unmanned underwater exploration > • Underwater localization and knowledge acquisition > • Scalable underwater monitoring and measurement systems > • Fixed and mobile underwater wireless sensors > • Aquatic surveillance applications > • QoS/Performance in underwater communication > • Surface-floating and underwater sensor communication > • Access control in underwater networks > • Latency effects for critical applications and synchronization > • Synchronization and delays in underwater sensor networks > • Localization in underwater sensor networks > • Advanced underwater sensor-based applications > • Sensor and systems for navigation and tracking > > Important Dates > Paper Submission: 26 June 2011 > Paper Acceptance: 22 July 2011 > Camera-Ready: 12 August 2011 > > Submission guidelines: > All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS > http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10975 > > They must not exceed 6 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages in IEEE style format. > > > General Chairs > Miguel Ardid, Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 13:04:38 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication, networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient. Scope Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia communication Manuscript Submission IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/. Please submit manuscripts via the ManuscriptCentral website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee (the entry name: Special Issue: Energy Efficient Multimedia Communication) Important Dates Manuscript due: September 30, 2011 Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2012 Publication date: Q2, 2012 Guest Editors J.J.

You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the area of networking solutions for unmanned autonomous systems. The deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 07, 2011. Aims and Scope: Unmanned systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments, e.g. ground-based robotics, aerial sensor systems, space and underwater applications. In order to fulfill challenging tasks, visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. The corresponding wireless networks must provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links for the management of the behavior of the unmanned vehicles' behavior as well as data links to reliably transfer telemetry and sensor data respectively. At the same time, unmanned vehicles offer the capability to provide ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to compensate network outages in case of public events and large scale incidents. The successful first workshop at GLOBECOM 2010 focused mainly on unmanned aerial vehicles ( <http://www.wi-uav.org> www.wi-uav.org). This year's workshop addresses any kind of unmanned autonomous systems. The workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research initiatives on new communications networks enabling the efficient operation of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater and in space scenarios. Contributions addressing heterogeneous scenarios, e.g. combination of aerial and underwater devices are highly welcome. Topics: . Communication technologies and protocols for Unmanned Vehicles . Interworking with satellites and terrestrial networks . Maritime and underwater communication . Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles . Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities and swarming . Network architectures for UVs and mesh networking . Localization and vision based sense-and-avoid .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier: JNCA Call For Paper Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:50:05 +0900 Von: CFP <2010cfp(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ---Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message--- Elsevier Journal of Network and Computer Applications (Impact Factor: 1.111) Call for Papers Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Scope The increasing importance of vehicle and infrastructure communications is recognized by governments, highway authorities, automobile manufacturers and the academic community. Governments have allocated spectrum for vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications (e.g., DSRC or 4G cellular). Government and industry have funded large partnerships or projects such as IVI (e.g., CAMP, ACAS), ADASE2, as well as new initiatives such as IVBSS, CICAS, and VII, among others. Academic conferences and workshops on automotive networking and ITS are beginning to grow in popularity (e.g., VANET, V2VCOM, and VDTN). Standards community has been active to ensure interoperability with participation of IEEE, ISO, TIA, ASTM and major automobile manufacturers and other industrial cooperation. There are unique research challenges that need to be addressed in order for vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of automotive applications and unique features of the automotive networking leads to many interesting research areas. The wireless networking between vehicles and with infrastructure has different characteristics from other conventional wireless networking problems. For example, due to rapidly-changing topology as vehicles move around, there are resemblances to ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are very different. Power efficiency is not as important for vehicle communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). Automotive applications also demand stringent communications performance requirements that are not seen in conventional wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in automotive networking, ITS and applications to survey and collect the state-of-the-art in this emerging field. Topics of interest include: • Intelligent / interactive transport system applications • Network architectures, system architectures for ITS • Link / MAC and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols • Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. • Higher layers (application, transport) algorithms and protocols • Cross-layer protocol design • Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications • Multimedia-based ad-hoc networking & WLAN aspects • Mobility management • Vehicle movement and performance simulation • Security for automotive networking • Network management for automotive networking • Vehicle to Grid Communication • Intra-vehicle networks supporting x-by-wire applications Important Dates: Paper Submission Due: July 15, 2011 Author Notification: Sep 30, 2011 Final Paper Submission Oct 31, 2011 Publication date: 2nd Quarter 2012 Guest Editors Prof. Joel Rodrigues (Corresponding Editor) Instituto de Telecomunicações, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Email: joeljr(a)ieee.org Dr. Russel Hsing Tecordia , USA Email: thsing(a)telcordia.com Dr. Min Chen Seoul National University, Korea Email: minchen(a)ieee.org Prof. Bingli Jiao Peking University, Beijing, China Email: JIAOBL(a)pku.edu.cn Dr. Binod Vaidya University of Ottawa, Canada Email: bvaidya(a)uottawa.ca Instructions for submission: All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).
