Datum: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 22:27:17 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for multiple copies]* Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems, Springer * *Special Issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks URL:* http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/CFP_VSN_TSJ2012.pdf *Theme and Scope * For the past few decades, Vehicular ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a key technology serving community of peoples in various applications. During this era, there has been a tremendous growth in this field with many new techniques and standards have been developed for the ease and safety of the passengers. Now, the passengers during travelling can take smart decisions by knowing the outside environment variables such as traffic conditions, density of the vehicles in a particular region, duration of traffic lights in a particular areas, etc. Moreover, these passengers can download and upload the heavy contents while travelling with the aid of the already deployed Road Side Unit (RSUs) which are connected to Internet to provide various services to the end users. Modern Vehicles equipped with sensor nodes monitor and collect the data in sparse and dense regions which can be processed for the benefit of community of peoples, e.g., health monitoring and diagnostic systems, safety alarms, intelligent transport systems, and environment monitoring. The vehicles during movement, equipped with sensor nodes, can also collect the data from human body and that data can be processed in collaboration with the other vehicles for various medical purposes. In this case, VANETs can also be used in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). However, as a new technology emerges, it throws new challenges to the research community. Although there exist many solutions of different kinds in the relevant areas, there is still a requirement of more efficient solutions which can be used in wide variety of applications. Many industrial and academic institutions have already geared up to provide solutions for the benefits of the community. Moreover, there are many constraints that have to be resolved before providing any standard solution. Some examples of the constraints are; mobility of the nodes, connectivity in sparse and dense regions, failure of nodes, network traffic congestion and interference, etc. Submission is solicited from researchers across the globe in the following issues (but not limited to these): - Efficient route selection in sparse and dense regions in presence of mobility of the nodes - Optimized cluster selection on the road - Optimized access point deployment for better coverage and uninterrupted services to all the vehicles on the road - Security during the data dissemination - Cache management for peer to peer (P2P) information sharing - Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks - Optimized Service selection and resource discovery - Providing QoS to various services - Solutions to various critical applications such as health monitoring system, safety alarms etc. - Channel allocation and selection in VANETs *Submission Guidelines* Authors can see manuscript preparation guideline here: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+system… Authors are required to submit papers as an all-in-one PDF file to any of the Guest Editors (CC to all is preferred). Please note in the subject line of the email, "SI_VSN_2012”. Papers would be judged by the expert reviewers based on the originality, methodology, novelty, and new innovations.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP for the 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting, Measurement and Evaluation for Wireless, Communications (EHMEWC) Datum: Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:58:38 +0200 Von: Christian Haas <haas(a)tm.uka.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ========================================================================== CFP for the 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting, Measurement and Evaluation for Wireless Communications (EHMEWC), to be held in conjunction with IEEE ICC'13 Budapest, Hungary, June 9th to 13th, 2013 URL: http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~seyedi/EHMEWC.html ========================================================================== Abstract Registration: Jan 4th 2013 Paper Submission: Jan 11th 2013 Author Notification: Feb 22nd 2013 Camera Ready Paper: Mar 8th 2013 ========================================================================== Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communicating nodes only use the energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication. Energy efficiency (EE) is a topic of very active research in wireless communications and networking. However, realistic evaluations in real-world deployments are challenging and time consuming. Often, different simplifying assumptions are made, which makes the results (a) applicable only in specific scenarios, and (b) hard to compare across literature. There is thus a need to come up with standardized tools for benchmarking, and to develop absolute yardsticks against which all schemes that strive to improve the EE of communications can be evaluated and compared. With the recent advances in simulator tools as well as an increasing number of testbeds, the next step in evaluating energy efficiency is now practicable: realistic evaluations of energy efficiency for wireless systems, wireless sensor networks and mobile systems. This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC, realistic evaluations of the EE and energy consumption of architectures and protocols, and novel applications in wireless communications and networks. It will create a forum for researchers to share results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC and EE evaluations. Topics include (but are not limited to): * Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Novel applications of EHC * Realistic design and evaluation of EE protocols in wireless networks * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Energy measurement methodologies and concepts * Experiences and lessons learned from real-world EE evaluations Workshop Chairs & Organizers ------------------ Alireza Seyedi (General Chair) University of Central Florida Torsten Braun University of Bern Mesut Güneş Freie Universität Berlin Christian Haas Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Chandra Murthy IISc Bangalore Joachim Wilke Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Martina Zitterbart Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Michele Zorzi University of Padova & UCSD _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerMoby 2013 CFP Datum: Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:06:24 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: October 30, 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 -- ====================================================== Alessio Vecchio Pervasive Computing & Networking Lab.
