A large body of research, from various perspectives, have been produced by both the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities to achieve self-organization and coordination of groups of sensors, actuators, robots or drones toward target-oriented missions. But, the convergence of objectives and methodologies of the two disciplines is still open for further significant research efforts and challenging problems remain. The research on ad hoc networks, autonomic networks, cyber physical systems, self-organizing networks and machine-to-machine communications has involved issues, concepts and challenges that are useful for characterizing the pathway toward the formalization of the theory and the definition of algorithms for Wireless Networked Robotics (WNR). WNR brings together the physical control of the devices along with their communication capabilities and it includes that so far have been either neglected or only partially explored by the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities. In WNR some or all of the devices are expected to have memory and reasoning capabilities, which allow them to use the input coming from other devices, the environment and their history to select the best behaviour to assume according to mission objectives. Therefore, machine learning and cognitive networks concepts and algorithms would greatly contribute to WNR theory and algorithms. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the theory, algorithms and applications of wireless networked robotics. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - algorithm and theory of cooperation and coordination in WNR modelization, simulation and evaluation of coordination and cooperation schemes in WNR - communication and motion aware protocols for WNR - impact and optimization of network performance through physical and communication control of the devices - bio-inspired algorithms for cooperation and coordination in WNR self-organization in WNR - swarm intelligence and swarm robotics algorithms in WNR use cases and applications for WNR --------------------------------------------- *Submission Format and Guideline: * --------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as "SI - Wireless Networked Robotics" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Potential authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished work through the submission system at the journal website: http://ees.elsevier.com /fgcs/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2012 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 15 Datum: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:41:03 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************************************** Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2012) January 14-17, 2012 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Submission instructions at: http://edas.info/N11047 ************************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PAM 2012 - call for papers Datum: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 08:30:35 +0200 Von: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)unina.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAM 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS -- First Announcement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2012 VIENNA, AUSTRIA, MARCH 12-14, 2012 http://pam2012.ftw.at/ The PAM conference has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment --- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: • Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and Experience • Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications • Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. • Correlating measurements across multiple layers • Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals • Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience • Measurements for Security and Privacy • Distributed and Inter-domain measurements • Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements • Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability • Measurement technology for software-based routers • Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services • Measurements in Home Networks • Measurement Visualization • Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure • New Measurement Initiatives • Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results • Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis • Measurement Data Management Important Dates: Abstract Submission: September 7, 2011 Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 Notification: November 22, 2011 Camera Ready due: December 22, 2011 Organizers General Chair Fabio Ricciato, FTW and University of Salento Program Chair Nina Taft, Technicolor Research, Palo Alto (USA) Local Arrangements Chair Philipp Svoboda, TU Wien Publicity Chair Antonio Pescapè, University of Napoli Federico II ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Go beyond the theoretical limitations, and shed off the numerous assumptions about wireless systems. Present an operational prototype that has the potential to revolutionize wireless networking. Innovations can be at any layer, from physical to application. However, we particularly encourage innovations that span over multiple layers. The innovations must have wireless networking as its key topic. The demo must be demonstrated live, i.e., a presentation of a demo (powerpoint, video, etc.) only is not allowed. Also, we emphasize that the demo contest is not a forum to display commercial products. The demo contest will be judged by a panel from industry and academia based on the technical merit and relevance to the workshop. * The winners will take home cash prizes and bragging rights to award-winning research demonstrators. * CALL FOR POSTERS WiNTECH 2011 is seeking proposals for posters describing novel work in wireless network testbeds, measurements and characterizations. The areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research. All submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee and will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to workshop. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Poster/Demo submissions will be handled by emailing the writeup to the chair (tmelodia(a)buffalo.edu) with the following requirements: - A maximum of TWO 8.5″x11″ pages (including figures, tables, and references) - The write-up must be in two-column format, using 10-point size or greater and reasonable margins and must use PDF format - For demos, a third page should be included that lists the requirements for the demo at the workshop venue if the demo is selected. All submissions will be acknowledged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline EXTENDED to JULY 19 - 2nd Int. IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles Datum: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:21:01 +0200 Von: IEEE GC'11 Wi-UAV <christian.wietfeld(a)tu-dortmund.de> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ________________________________________________________________________ Wi-UAV 2011 2nd Int. IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles: Architectures, Protocols and Applications in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 Houston, Texas, USA WORKSHOP DATE: DECEMBER 05, 2011 FURTHER EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JULY 19, 2011 (firm deadline) Dear colleagues, the 2nd international IEEE workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (Wi-UAV 2011, www.wi-uav.org), co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Global Communications (GLOBECOM 2011), will be held in Houston, Texas, USA on December 05, 2011. 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. Due to many requests, the deadline for submissions has been extended by another 2 days. The extended deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 19, 2011 (firm). 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 (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 UVs - 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 - Mini / Micro UAVs and enhanced Health Management - Channel models and antenna design for UVs - Use of civilian networks for UVs communication - Interfaces and cross platform communication - Communication for navigation, control and guidance - Mission control centers and backend communication - QoS mechanisms and performance evaluation - Advances in remote sensing: miniaturization, low-weight and energy efficient communication - Advances in antenna design and MIMO systems - Aerial sensing, surveillance and reconnaissance - Air traffic control and spectrum regulation - Standardization, applications and services - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations (incl. live demos during workshop) Submission Guidelines and Publication: GLOBECOM workshops accept only original, previously unpublished papers. Concurrent submission to GLOBECOM and other conferences or journals is not allowed. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers in IEEE conference style up to 5 pages through EDAS submission system (http://edas.info/N10863), but one additional page is allowed with additional publication fee. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore). An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline. An accepted paper should be presented at the workshop. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program. GLOBECOM will remove an accepted and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library. Important Dates: Submission due: July 19, 2011 (FIRM!)
