-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ICWCUCA 2012] Call For Papers - Clermont-Ferrand, France Datum: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:07:59 +0100 Von: TPC ICWCUCA 2012 <tpc(a)icwcuca2012.clermont-universite.fr> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ******************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * ******************* ICWCUCA 2012: International Conference on Wireless Communications in Unusual and Confined Areas Clermont-Ferrand, France, August 28th-30th, 2012 Website: http://icwcuca2012.clermont-universite.fr/ Submission deadline: March 1st, 2012 Submission link: http://icwcuca2012.clermont-universite.fr/submission.html Technically sponsored by: IEEE, IEEE France, IEEE Quebec, URSI. SUMMARY ======= ICWCUCA 2012 (International Conference on Wireless Communications in Unusual and Confined Areas) is the third of a series of events focusing on wireless communications in harsh environments (such as confined areas, underground tunnels, inside industrial buildings or vehicles). ICWCUCA is a forum for academic researchers, professionals and industrial specialists that are interested in innovative applications or field trials related to telecommunications in such confined areas. ICWCUCA was originally dedicated to wireless communications in confined environments for industrial mining applications. This year, the conference addresses a broader spectrum including unusual environments, wireless sensor network applications, and wireless network applications. An unusual environment refers to an environment that can be hazardous, costly or hard to reach. Such an environment can have experienced a natural or industrial disaster, or can be a remote natural area. It is subject to specific propagation conditions (as it is the case in mine galleries or inside the human body). In these conditions, network solutions have to be self-powered, robust against node losses, deployed quickly, and they have to provide a service during a long period (usually expressed in years). Thus, research on wireless sensor networks is a topic for ICWCUCA. Communication protocols that have limited energy consumption, that are resistant to losses and that can satisfy the application temporal constraints, on a peculiar physical medium, are the main expected contributions. SCOPE ===== This year, the topics include, but are not limited to: - Propagation and Medium Characterization, - Modulation and Signal, - Antenna, - Wireless Sensor Network, - Communications for Mine Applications, - Applications of WLAN and WPAN, - Modeling, Simulation, Tests, - Intra-Vehicular and Inter-Vehicular Communications, - Communications between Life-Monitoring Devices. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ All submissions should be written in English, with a paper length between 4 and 6 pages (including figures and tables). Manuscripts should be prepared with A4 paper size, 10-point font, and two columns. Submissions have to comply with standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX or Microsoft Word (check the website for templates). Full papers will appear on IEEE Xplore.

Dear Colleagues, you are cordially invited to contribute to the following call for paper.Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards,Juha, Waltenegus, and Vincenzo. Advances in Software Engineering Special Issue on Self-* Parallel and Distributed Systems Call for papers Autonomic computing has been identified as a promising solution to cope with the overwhelming complexity in modern and next-generation computer systems. In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: · Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems · Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems · Software design and implementation for energy-awareness · Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing · Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals · Evolvability aspects · Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems · Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems · Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems · Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties · Formal validation and verification · Software testing · Parallel and distributed debugging · Application and industrial case studies · Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.

Several possible cross-network commonalities have been identified and there's an emerging line of research that seeks a theoretical underpinning to these commonalities. Collectively these efforts are known as "network science". This J-SAC issue seeks to highlight advances in network science. Topics of interest for this issue include: * Insights from other types of networks that can be applied to communications problems (e.g. applying concepts from biological networks to communications networks); * Aggregate performance of combined networks (e.g. rather than modeling a social network and communications network separately, modeling them as one combined network); * Transmission of information through combined networks (including contagion or cascade effects); * Insights into the strengths and limitations of multi-network studies as applied to communications networks; * Communications network design inspired by network science principles More broadly, the issue welcomes any submission that is clearly applicable to communications networks and incorporates insights from non-communications networks. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://edas.info/12217. The timetable is as follows: Manuscript submission: 1 August 2012 Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012* Final manuscript due: 1 February 2013 Publication: Q2 2013 *The editorial team hopes to make decisions somewhat earlier to permit some papers to get a second round of reviewing before final submission. The Guest Editor and Co-Editors for this issue are: Guest Editor: Dr. Craig Partridge (Raytheon BBN Technologies); Co-Guest Editors: Ananthram Swami (Army Research Lab), Tom La Porta (Penn State), Richard Gibbens (University of Cambridge), Ching-Yung Lin (IBM), Eiko Yoneki (Univ. of Cambridge, UK) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Tccc] Special Issue "Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting" in IJSNET

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue "Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting" in IJSNET Datum: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:55:35 +0900 Von: Lei Shu <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Paper International Journal of Sensor Networks Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting Overview Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are normally battery powered with limited energy supply. Years of effort had been given by researchers and engineers to maximize the lifetime of WSNs in almost all the aspects, e.g., routing, topology control, deployment, data aggregation, clustering, and sleep scheduling. However, recently advanced technical developments have allowed sensor nodes to harvest environmental energy from natural sources, e.g., wind, water flow, ocean currents, and solar, which enable WSNs to have the rechargeable energy supply. With multiple energy sources, the overall efficiency, reliability and sustainability are enhanced in any WSN application system. This emerging technical development gives sensor nodes a totally different energy model compared to traditional battery powered sensor nodes, which fundamentally changed the assumption for many existing lifetime optimization schemes. We should look back almost all traditional challenging issues in WSNs to cope with this new changing. New research issues, e.g., power management with multiple energy sources, should also be considered. This special issue aims at seeking new approaches, methods, and schemes for solving both traditional and new challenging issues in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other journal. The topics suggested can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, designs, implementations, running experiments or applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scopes: l Routing in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Sleep scheduling in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Topology control in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Data aggregation in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Clustering in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Multimedia streaming in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Security in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Cross-layer optimization in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Power management in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Capacity modeling, performance analysis, and theoretical analysis l Mobility management in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting l Transmission in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting Important dates u Submission Deadline: Sept. 30th, 2012 u Notification of Acceptance: Dec. 30th, 2012 u Final papers Due: Feb. 28th, 2013 Guideline for Authors Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Manuscripts due : June 4, 2012 !! ----- ----- !! Publication date : Q1/2013 !! ----- Aim and Scope: -------------- In recent years, the number of networked machines and/or devices, such as those encountered in automatic meter readers, vending machines, or in remote monitoring applications; has dramatically increased. As a result, we have witnessed the emergence of the so-called paradigm of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M devices are often characterized by very modest data rates, low mobility and stringent cost requirements, along with the need to communicate over a wide area. Besides, in the coming years, M2M devices are expected to significantly outnumber voice and (often bandwidth-hungry) data terminals. All this entails a major re-design of future cellular networks, which were originally conceived with human-to-human communications in mind. This opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, security and inter-networking architectures. To this end, the European Telecommunication Standards Institute's M2M Technical Committee has proposed a hybrid architecture whereby cellular-enabled gateways act as traffic aggregation and protocol translation points for their capillary (i.e. wireless sensor) networks. Capillary networks, in turn, are composed of a potentially high number of devices (namely, sensors and actuators) equipped with short-range radio interfaces, often compliant IEEE802.15.4-related standards. Current standardization activities in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) encompass a number of optimizations specifically addressing machine-type communication needs. Moreover, IPSO (IP for Smart Objects) is assembling a protocol stack from standards being finalized at the IEEE and IETF. This special issue aims at gathering recent advances in the areas of advanced M2M communication systems, and technologies, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, IETF and IPSO. Topics of Interest: ------------------- The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Scalable system architecture and components - Channel and traffic modeling and methodology - Optimization of radio access technologies and protocols for M2M communications - Interworking and routing protocols for M2M networks - Device and mobility management - Data aggregation techniques and architectures for massive M2M networks - Low-latency and energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-harvesting techniques for M2M devices - Security, trust, reliability and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Emulation, test-beds, and field trials - Regulatory issues Submission instructions: ------------------------ The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….
