-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2013 CFP - Deadline extended: November 13, 2012 Datum: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:11:05 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ##################################################### PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: NOVEMBER 13, 2012 ##################################################### CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 19 and 33. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline (EXTENDED): November 13, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012 - Camera ready: Late January, 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Aaron Crandall, Washington State University, USA Jordi Cucurull Juan, Linköping University, Sweden Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Maciej Kurant, ETH, Switzerland Alan Marchiori, Colorado School of Mines, USA Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Mikko Pitkänen, AALTO, Finland Silvia Santini, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Jing Wang, E2open Inc., USA Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

29 Oct '12

Dear Colleagues, let me draw your attention to the call for papers of SANES 2013: Self-Adaptive Networked Embedded Systems - SANES 2013 19 - 21 February, 2013 - Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the International Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems - PECCS 2013 SCOPE Self-adaptive systems are capable of monitoring their environment and their own states in order to optimize and match their functions to different scenarios and requirements. The concept of self-adaptiveness belongs to the wide scope of autonomic computing, while focusing on the aspects of self-awareness, context-awareness and self-adaptation. While networked embedded systems relate to several research domains (e.g. software engineering, hardware engineering, network and communication), their studies are usually limited in their own concerns, assumption and verification environment. This special session aims to gather complementary research efforts addressing diverse issues in self-adaptive embedded systems, from requirement engineering, modeling, and application to concrete implementations. Both functional and extra-functional (e.g. energy-efficiency, dependability and security) properties are of interest to the session. Individual adaptive systems, distributed systems, and system-of-systems are relevant to this theme. The session solicits works in the requirement engineering, software and hardware design, modeling, implementation and applications of self-aware, context-aware and adaptive networked embedded systems. It is a follow-up of two successful special sessions in PECCS 2011 and 2012. Selected papers from the previous editions have appeared in international journals, and this tradition will be followed in SANES’13. TOPICS of INTEREST • Requirement engineering • Self-adaptive many-core systems, distributed systems. • Self-adaptive software and middleware design • Modeling and formal methods for self-adaptation and context-awareness • Energy Efficiency, Dependability and Security • Collective adaptive system/ System-of-systems • Industrial and Commercial Case Studies PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: Paper Templates Please also check the Guidelines and Templates.

The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in an early phase of their career with the opportunity to discuss these with experts and gain general feedback as well as specific comments on their proposal. Second, this is an excellent opportunity for a young researcher to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. Format ------ The aim of the doctoral colloquium is to discuss research ideas and PhD projects at different - typically - early stages. The colloquium aims at a friendly atmosphere which shall inspire the participants and put them - and their research - in the focus. A panel of experts will discuss the research based on a short presentation. Interactivity and discussion are the goal. In addition to the colloquium a presentation of all participants at the main conference will take place as a poster session. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) is used to attract conference participants. Submissions ----------- Prospective participants are required to submit three different documents via email at phd-chair(a)netsys2013.de: at the point of submission: 1. Research Statement: a two-page abstract that sketches the research proposal of the PhD student, the contribution to knowledge and how the research will advance the state of the art. 2.

16 Oct '12

Special Issue on Research Advances and Standardization Activities in WLANs Elsevier Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/re… Scope ================================== A new generation of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is going to make its appearance in the upcoming years, with the IEEE 802.11aa (Robust Audio Video Transport Streaming), IEEE 802.11ac (Very-high throughput < 6GHz), IEEE 802.11af (TV White Spaces) and IEEE 802.11ad (Very-high throughput ~ 60 GHz), as examples of the most expected ones. Nevertheless, all next-generation standards will consider some of the most significant advances on the wireless communication and networking area in the last decade, developed by a highly active community, in both academia and industry. This special issue requests papers that advance the state-of-the-art of the recent and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards (i.e., IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.11aa, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11ae, IEEE 802.11ah, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.11ai, etc.), as well as present mechanisms and solutions, from MAC or above layers, that could be readily transferred to the not-yet finished standards or their future amendments. Please, note that pure PHY-layer papers are outside the scope of this Special Issue, although cross-layer approaches are welcome. In addition, there is special interest in those papers that provide new theoretical and/or experimental insights on the performance of the new and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards in real application scenarios, as well as propose optimal parameter configurations to make them work as much efficiently as possible. Papers proposing, evaluating and comparing disruptive approaches to the path followed by the IEEE 802.11 standards are also very much appreciated. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Coexistence mechanisms between IEEE 802.11 and other wireless networks in unlicensed bands. - Inter-Access point cooperative mechanisms. - Service discovery in WLANs. - Dynamic channel access mechanisms, including cognitive radio techniques and channel bonding strategies. - Link-layer mechanisms to efficiently operate in the new spectrum bands (below 1 GHz, TV White Spaces, 60 GHz band, etc.). - Multiple packet transmission and reception techniques. - Packet aggregation mechanisms. - Energy efficient link-layer protocols for multi-service WLANs with heterogeneous QoS requirements. - Cross-layer Network/MAC techniques for multi-hop networking and cooperative relays. - Advanced relaying strategies for MIMO multicell systems. - Mobility support, vehicular networks and networks of mobile objects. - Multimedia home networking, HDTV and video distribution. - Integration of home and city Smart Grids (M2M communications) in WLANs. Tentative Schedule ================================== - Submission deadline: October 31, 2012 - Author notification: January 31, 2013 - Revised paper due: February 28, 2013 - Final author notification: April 15, 2013 - Expected publication: 3rd quarter 2013 Guest-editors ================================== Boris Bellalta (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Alexey Vinel (Tampere University of Technology, Finland) Periklis Chatzimisios (Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece) Raffaele Bruno (IIT/CNR, Italy) Chonggang Wang (InterDigital, USA) Instructions for submission: ================================== Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: WLANs" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Workshop SoCoDiS at NetSys 2013 Datum: Thu, 11 Oct 2012 17:45:26 +0200 Von: Waldhorst, Oliver (TM) <waldhorst(a)KIT.EDU> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE *************************************************************** Call for Papers --- Submission deadline Nov 5, 2012 Workshop on Self-organized Communication in Disaster Scenarios (SoCoDiS 2013) in conjunction with Networked Systems (NetSys) 2013 Stuttgart, Germany, March 11-15, 2013 *************************************************************** Scope ===== In disaster scenarios, such as natural disasters or terroristic strikes, it is very important for rescue teams to get an overview of the current situation. To get that overview as quick as possible and to coordinate the rescue teams during their mission, it is essential that the teams are able to communicate with each other. However, as the disaster area is unknown and the previous communication infrastructure may be broken, the rescue teams ideally have to bring their own communication equipment to set up an independent infrastructure. Such an infrastructure may be based on small, fast, and autonomously flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that are able to fly over affected areas. These devices carry network equipment that creates an ad-hoc communication network infrastructure among all UAVs, dedicated for the rescue teams. Such a basic communication system can be used to coordinate the teams, to search for people that need help by scanning for isolated cell phones, or to offer new kinds of applications that assist the rescue teams during their work. In the second step, this temporary network can be extended by devices that have more capabilities than UAVs, for example cars or trucks that are able to carrying heavy base stations. Having such a system would be very beneficial for rescue teams that enter large-scale disaster areas. However, as each disaster scenario is different and each deployment poses different challenges, it must be possible to adapt such a communication system to the specific needs of arbitrary disaster scenarios easily. Requirements of such a system include: * adaptation to arbitrary disaster scenarios, e. g. by defining missions in a dedicated language, * having a communication scheme among the nodes that copes with mobility, * offering basic services for common tasks, e. g. scanning for infrastructure remains, and * it has to incorporate self-organized algorithms, to follow missions autonomously. This workshop will cover aspects of such communication architectures dedicated to disaster scenarios as a whole. It brings together researchers working on different layers of communication systems, as working on such an architecture benefits from knowledge regarding a broad set of aspects. Workshop Topics =============== The workshop solicits contributions regarding novel and possibly preliminary research results related, but not limited to the following list of topics: ==== Autonomous operation of UAVs, to assist rescue teams ==== * Hard- and software architectures for UAV systems * Mission planning languages * Autonomous execution of missions * Mobility-aware inter-UAV signaling protocols * Self-organized task allocation among UAVs * Energy management and flight scheduling * Cooperative swarms and formation flights ==== Communication in disaster scenarios ==== * Robust TCP/IP communications in MANETs * Interworking between ad-hoc networks and the Internet, e.g. via satellite links * QoS support in MANETs for rescue teams * Middlewares * Services * Routing * Delay tolerant networks ==== Reconnaissance and repair ==== * Detection of infrastructures, data collection * Data management, data fusion and refinement * Security and privacy aspects in disaster relieve networks * Interaction with remaining network infrastructures, e.g. WiFi, GSM, UMTS, LTE Workshop Organization ===================== Florian Evers, Ilmenau University of Technology, florian.evers(a)tu-ilmenau.de Tobias Simon, Ilmenau University of Technology, tobias.simon(a)tu-ilmenau.de Andreas Mitschele-Thiel, Ilmenau University of Technology, mitsch@tu- ilmenau.de Program Committee ================= Jochen Seitz (TU Ilmenau, Germany) Jochen Schiller (FU Berlin) Oliver Waldhorst (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) Verena Hafner (HU Berlin, Germany) Volker Zerbe (FH Erfurt, Germany) Christian Bettstetter (Universität Klagenfurt, Austria) Hans Peter Geering (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) Christian Wietfeld (TU Dortmund, Germany) Submissions and important dates =============================== Submission deadline: Nov 5, 2012 Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socodis2013 Notification of authors: Dec 3, 2012 Camera-ready copy: Dec 21, 2012 Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. Papers are selected according to their originality, quality, and relevance to the workshop topics. Papers have be submitted in PDF format via the NetSys2013 submission system.

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, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a multiple of these areas. 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 the program chairs with questions or clarifications. As an example of these different emphases, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, while studies on the hardware and software platforms and tools used for deployment should be submitted to the SPOTS track. The IP track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-operated, or social sensors. Topics covered in the IP track include, but are not limited to: - Innovative applications and deployment experiences - Mobile, participatory, and social sensing - 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 The 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 - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Chair: Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): Kay Romer, University of Lubeck TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): Raj Rajkumar, CMU Demo Chair: Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano and Swedish Institute of Computer Science Poster Chair: Tian He, University of Minnesota Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Aman Kansal, Microsoft Research Publications Chair: Raghu Ganti, IBM Research Finance/Sponsorship Chair: Akos Ledeczi, Vanderbilt University Web Chair: Hengchang Liu, UIUC Publicity Co-Chairs: Ying Zhang, Google Li Cui, ICT CAS Martina Maggio, Lund PhD Forum Co-Chairs: Polly Huang, NTU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steering Committee -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia (Chair) Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Deborah Estrin, University of California - Los Angeles Leo Guibas, Stanford University William Kaiser, University of California - Los Angeles P.R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2013 paper submission deadline extended to October 11th 23:59pm EST Datum: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 07:58:03 -0400 Von: Alexander Varshavsky <varshavsky(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> Antwort an: varshavsky(a)research.att.com An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 14th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2013) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Paper submission deadline has been extended to October 11th, 2012 ‚ 23:59pm EST -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 26-27 February, 2013 Jekyll Island, GA, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2013/ ACM HotMobile 2013, the Fourteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2013 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: vincenzo mancuso <vincenzo.mancuso(a)imdea.org> Gesendet: Thu Oct 04 21:31:55 MESZ 2012 An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM e-Energy 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: ACM e-Energy 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------- Date and location: May 21-24 2013, Berkeley CA ---------------------------------------------------------- Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next-generation 'smart' and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The fourth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Berkeley, CA in May 2013, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings - Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems - Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-efficient data centers - The impact of storage integration on the smart grid - Electric Vehicle monitoring and control - Distribution and transmission network control techniques - Microgrid and distributed generation management and control - Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources - Smart grid communication architectures and protocols - Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure - Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management - Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems - HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness - User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies - Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems Two type of contributions are solicited: - Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. - Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students.
