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.

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.

-------- 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Ad Hoc Networks: Special Issue on Mobility Supported Distributed and Embedded Systems Datum: Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:47:52 +0300 Von: Albert Levi <levi(a)sabanciuniv.edu> Organisation: Sabanci University An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers --------------- A Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on "Smart Solutions for Mobility Supported Distributed and Embedded Systems" <http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/levi/AdHocSI/> The proliferation of wireless networking and Internet technologies, supported by the development of embedded networking devices with smart information processing and computing capabilities promoted many new wireless and mobile applications in our lives, in all kinds of environments. From small sensor nodes to smart phones and other palm-top devices, a wide range of embedded devices opened major avenues for mobile applications. With increasing number of users for these applications, decentralized and ad hoc management and operation became a necessity. In parallel with these architectural requirements, new models and mechanisms are being proposed in all communication layers and security services. This special issue solicits contributions on new frontiers and applications in mobility supported distributed and embedded systems with special emphasis on wireless ad hoc networking, wireless cross-layer design, security, privacy and trust. Contributions sought for this special issue include, but is not limited to: . Mobility supported applications and evolutions of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks . Wireless technologies and protocols for vehicular networking . Mobility driven MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks . Resource Allocation and QoS Provisioning in mobility driven ad hoc, sensor, mesh networks . Cognitive radio in sensor networks and embedded mobile devices . Smart security services for embedded mobile devices . Efficient privacy-preserving protocols for decentralized environments for mobile applications 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.
