As a result, there will be a strong demand for wireless communications and networking to provide information as well as onboard entertainment services to passengers and driver. Vehicular communication is expected to implement a variety of wired and wireless technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) for V2V systems, communication may experience serious deterioration due to the lack of accurate channel state information and advanced radio-resource-allocation schemes to assign wireless resources to high-speed vehicles. Moreover, communication among high-speed vehicles through cellular communication networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs resulting in degradation in overall system performance. This motivates researchers to design innovative resource allocation techniques and robust, as well as, fast handover schemes for dynamically changing topologies of VANETs. In VANETs for V2V communications, trust, security, privacy, and reliable routing are major concerns since the network topology changes constantly. Furthermore, physical layer design issues for wireless communications in high-speed mobile environments are also of vital importance to realize its full potential for ITS. All in all, vehicular communications with dynamically changing topologies is a demanding research topic. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that focus on vehicular communications and networking. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to · Physical Layer and Propagation Models. · Radio Resource and Interference Management. · Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols. · Information Aggregation and Dissemination. · Positioning and Location Technologies. · Sensor Technologies for VANETs. · Drive-Through Internet and Roadside Infrastructures. · Incident Detection for VANETs. · Trust, Security, and Privacy Issues. · Fast and Reliable Handover and Mobility Management · Vehicle Traffic Models. · Heterogeneous Networking. · Cellular and Satellite Communications for Vehicular Networking. · Cross-Layer Designs and Architectures. · Game Theory Based Protocols and Algorithms. · Green Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Standardization and Development, such as WAVE/DSRC/802.11p · Applications, Case Studies, and Real-World Test Beds. · Business Models and Policies. -------------------------------------------- Submission Format and Guideline: ----------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be written in English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is not currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Cognitive Radio Networks Datum: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 08:49:37 -0400 Von: My List <xjing.list(a)gmail.com> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] *http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/cfp/cfpwcm0812.htm * CALL FOR PAPERS *IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Cognitive Radio Networks: A Practical Perspective* Contemporary wireless system design must typically incorporate increased bandwidth requirements due to the persistent trend for higher wireless multimedia data rates. Increased bandwidth may be achieved by developing efficient strategies for spectrum management. The cognitive radio concept proposes to push efficiency in spectrum access and resource allocation beyond its traditional limits, by introducing spectrum sharing, coexistence, and cooperation among heterogeneous wireless networks. This approach has been worldwide recognized by standardization and regulation bodies, and a number of wireless technologies could benefit from it. Examples abound. WiFi networks could operate in other portions of the spectrum than the traditional ones thus avoiding the already overcrowded ISM bands. Sensor networks deployed in factories or highly interfered environments could adaptively select the frequency bands that are less used by other nearby wireless devices and allow reliable data transfer. Communications systems using OFDM could resort to non-contiguous carriers usage for dynamic spectrum access, thus favoring coexistence with other technologies while still providing high data rates. Important technical challenges still need to be overcome, however, in order to achieve successful coexistence and cooperation among heterogeneous systems. Open research issues cover a wide range of system aspects, from the hardware component up to network layer design. Technical, economical, and regulatory challenges need to be addressed as well. In order to compel the cognitive networking vision, experts in various aspects of wireless design must come together for a joint effort towards system level optimization. The objective of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality papers that report the latest research advances in the design and implementation of cognitive networking, as well as survey papers on the major challenges and possible solutions that lead the path to real-world cognitive radio systems. We solicit both academic and industrial contributions, which are original, previously unpublished and not currently under review by another journal. The submitted papers should focus on practical aspects of cognitive radio networks, system design issues, implementations/testbeds, or measurements in real environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Centralized and distributed spectrum coordination services Regulation issues and use cases Practical applications and standards for cognitive radio (IEEE802.22, IEEE SCC41,Š) Radio spectrum maps, database and usage of white spaces Software defined radio solutions Coexistence among heterogeneous wireless technologies (cellular, WiFi,Š) Implementation of sensing and dynamic spectrum management Design and implementation of cognitive MAC and network-layer protocols Physical layer and advanced signal processing Cross-layer optimization and reconfiguration solutions Security in cognitive radio networks Machine learning and pattern recognition for network identification Evaluation of different design and implementation choices (e.g., sensing vs. use of radio spectrum maps) Feasibility and implementation challenges of cognitive radio solutions in real devices Testbed and field trials with cognitive radio networks Manuscript Submission The papers should be tutorial in nature to help non-expert readers gain a good understanding of the topic. The papers should also discuss recent advances and future research topics. Authors must follow theIEEE Wireless Communications Magazine guidelines for preparation of the manuscript and submit it via Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IET Communications - Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols Datum: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:25:15 +0300 Von: Petros Nicopolitidis <petros(a)csd.auth.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IET Communications Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols In today’s world, wireless systems have become an essential tool and provide solutions in everyday personal and business situations in an easy and cost-effective manner. Wireless networking affects a number of fields, including healthcare, environmental, home appliances, education, military applications, among others. In general, designing, developing and testing of an efficient wireless network protocol is a great challenge for the researchers in these areas. Moreover, the development of an application specific protocol in any of these fields depends on various factors including the security, miniaturization, application constraints, hardware constraints, and energy requirements. The traditional trend in wireless network protocol design and development is towards maximization of the performance observed by the end-user, in terms of perceived throughput, delay, QoS, etc. Nevertheless, the rate of advances in battery technology continues to lag behind that of semiconductor technology, which is still well predicted by the celebrated Moore’s law. This imbalance in the rate of advances creates a gap between the energy a wireless network needs to operate and the battery capacity that powers its nodes. Hence, the requirement of Energy-Efficiency appears as an extremely important property of new protocols for wireless networks with battery-powered mobile nodes. Moreover, Energy-Efficiency is the tool to realize the vision of green wireless networks, which are deemed important these days due to the increasing share of wireless systems of the total energy expended in communications and networking systems. Energy-awareness contributes to achieving the task of energy-efficiency, as it provides the ability to networking protocols to adapt their operation according to the energy reserves of the network nodes and thus increase the energy-efficiency of a system. The objective of this special issue is to report state-of-the art results in energy-aware wireless networking protocols by welcoming contributions originating from both academic and industrial research. These should be original contributions solicited in relevant areas of energy-efficient wireless networking protocols. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list: • Energy-cognizant protocol design and network architectures • Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms • Energy-efficient MAC protocols • Energy-efficient routing protocols • Energy-efficient transport protocols • Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols • Energy-efficient communication protocols • Adaptive energy efficient protocols. • Energy efficiency in protocols for wireless sensor networks. • Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions • Innovative power control techniques. • Energy-efficient applications for wireless networks. • Novel applications of energy efficient wireless networking protocols Paper Format Submitted papers, which should be unpublished and not currently under review by another journal, must follow the IET guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts.

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 A full description can be found at the following address: http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/call_for_papers_WNR.pdf --------------------------------------------- *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.

Chou (Jensen) <jensen0915(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) http://lens.csie.ncku.edu.tw/VON12/index.html to be held in conjunction with the AINA 2012 Conference that will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, March 26-29, 2012. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von12 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Thu, 22 Sep 2011 22:29:47 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks - Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors - Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks - Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage - Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime - Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks - Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Universita di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, and embedded systems design. IPSN is part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPS Week), which will bring together other leading CPS conferences including International Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC'12), International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS'12), and IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS'12). The conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact program chairs with questions or clarifications. As an example of the different foci, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, while details on the hardware and software platforms and tools used in the deployment should be submitted to SPOTS. The Information Processing (IP) track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded sensors. Topics covered in this track include, but are not limited to: - Applications and deployment experiences - Coding, compression and information theory - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Fundamental bounds and formulations - Location, time, and other network services - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Network protocols - Programming models and languages - Innovative mobile sensing applications - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track focuses on new hardware and software architectures, modeling, evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, implementations, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems. Submissions are expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and implementations. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are not limited to: - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures - Embedded software for sensor networks - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and study/compare the performance of platforms and tools - Network health monitoring and management - Operating systems and runtime environments - Simulation ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): Kamin Whitehouse, University of Virginia Demo Chair: Fred Jiang, Microsoft Research Asia Poster Chair: Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Publications Chair: Jie Gao, SUNY Stony Brook Finance and Sponsorship Chair: Xenofon Koutsoukos, Vanderbilt University Web Chair: Nic Lane, Microsoft Research Asia Publicity Co-Chairs: Luca Mottola, Swedish Institute of Computer Science and Ying Zhang, Palo Alto Research Center STEERING COMMITTEE Feng Zhao, Chair, Microsoft Research Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC Deborah Estrin, UCLA Leo Guibas, Stanford P.R.
