-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [tccc] CFP: 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications (ITST-2012), Taipei, Taiwan, Datum: Tue, 29 May 2012 17:19:57 +0800 Von: Chun-Cheng Lin (NCTU) <cclin321(a)nctu.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu == Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers == ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications (ITST-2012) Taipei, Taiwan November 5 - 8, 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.itst2012.org/ Current Highlights: ---------------- - Technical co-sponsorship by IEEE ComSoc has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by IEICE-CS has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by IET has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by Technical Committee on ITS of Engineering Sciences Society (ESS), The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineering (IEICE) - 20 papers will be selected to win Best Paper Awards of ITST 2012 and to peer-review rounds for possible inclusion in the IET ITS (approved by EiC of IET ITS: Alan Stevens). - Several papers will be invited to further review rounds for possible inclusion in IEEE ITS Magazine (approved by IEEE ITSS President: Alberto Broggi). - Keynote Speaker: Dr. Adam Drobot, former President of Advanced Technology Solutions/Telcordia, CTO for Telcordia Topic: ITS Telecommunications: .Car .Road .Net - Keynote Speaker: Prof. Hanna Bogucka Topic: Holistic Approach to Future Green Mobile Communications. - Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michele Fiorini, IET Italy Chairman & Principal Engineer Topic: The Titanic's Myth – A Century of Legend and Technology - Keynote Speaker: Prof. Alberto Broggi, President (2010-2011), IEEE ITS Society Topic: Driverless Vehicles: Challenges and Future Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is a promising technology to improve safety and security for all transport modes, to reduce traffic congestion, to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail maritime, fluvial) and support information services in vehicles with the general purpose of reducing the impact of transport on the environment. The development of sustainable mobility is a key challenge for the development of urban areas. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is already there in the public transport domain and this should be generalized. This era will be driven by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Safety-related applications are not only taken into consideration, but non-safety multimedia content providers are also becoming a new topic of research. Key players in the industry, such as automotive companies, public transport operators, railway industries and government agencies, are investing heavily in the advanced research and development of many ITS technologies and applications. This research effort primarily focuses on the system development and standardization of telematics. During recent ITS developments, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. These progresses are also really important in the public transport domain (buses, metro, trains, tramways) for which V2V and V2I for safety and non safety applications are a key component for the exploitation but also for reducing energy consumption. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Furthermore, all these applications require accurate and reliable positioning using GNSS solutions alone or enhanced with map-matching and sensors fusion. Technology and applications for ITS and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, intelligent engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private sector and the public sector to exchange new ideas. This conference aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), cooperative systems, information dissemination, road and rail safety, information and emergency services, etc. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for vehicular communication environments in all transport modes. Topics of Interest: ---------------- Four tracks will be emphasized in ITST-2012 (but not limited on): Track1: Smart Vehicle ‧ Video/Audio signal processing for driver-assistance systems ‧ In-vehicle communications/telematics ‧ Analog/Digital circuit design for in-car smart systems ‧ SoC architecture/platform for smart vehicle systems ‧ Green design techniques for ITS ‧ Security and privacy in vehicular networks ‧ Field operational tests and testbeds for smart vehicular ‧ Vehicle collision avoidance ‧ Sensors and actuators Track2: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) ‧ Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods ‧ New ITS/Telematics applications ‧ Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities Track3: Telecommunications and Positioning ‧ V2V, V2I and V2X communications ‧ Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy ‧ Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, 802.11x, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, LTE-A, GPS) ‧ Mobility or handover technology ‧ System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics ‧ PHY issues: channel measurements, channel modeling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. ‧ Physical layer and antenna technologies for vehicular networks ‧ RF propagation models for vehicular networks ‧ Radio resource management for vehicular networks ‧ GPS, GALILEO and terrestrial solutions for accurate and reliable positioning of vehicles Track4: Green Life Toward Blue Planet ‧ Field operational tests and testbeds for vehicular networks ‧ Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on transportation efficiency and safety ‧ Emission modeling and environmental impact assessment ‧ Regional requirements and their consequences ‧ Interference-Management and Spectrally-Efficient Technologies ‧ Resource-Efficient Networking Technology and Application Design ‧ Cross-Layer Design/Optimization and Green Transceiver Design ‧ Novel technologies to reduce human electromagnetic exposure and electromagnetic pollution Some papers will be nominated by the International Advisory Board for the “Best Paper Award.” To enhance the scientific quality of this event, the conference Organizing Committee has entered into an agreement with the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Alan Stevens) and the publishing office of IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), which is an SCI-E (ISI) and EI indexed peer-reviewed journal.

CFP (Deadline extended): Special Issue on Quality of Experience in Wireless Multimedia Systems (ETT)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 28 May '12

28 May '12

-------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS----------------- Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) Special Issue on Quality of Experience in Wireless Multimedia Systems Aim and Scope: One important objective of new broadband wireless communication networks is to enable people to enjoy multimedia services anywhere at any time. During the recent decade, a variety of techniques have been developed that address Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia applications in wireless networks. Good QoS is necessary, but not necessarily sufficient for good user perception, enjoyment and acceptance of a service. Thus, Quality of Experience (QoE) / Quality of Perception (QoP) has emerged as an important concept, covering subjective and objective, qualitative and quantitative measures of ultimate importance for users and thus, for service providers and operators. QoE issues have been creating a new assessment and management paradigm in multimedia systems, and they are gaining special attention in wireless communication networks, as the latter have proven to be quite hostile environments for multimedia streaming due to volatile radio conditions and lacks of capacity. QoE metrics are considered as important metrics to measure the quality level of multimedia contents from the users' perspective. QoE-oriented approaches aim to overcome the limitations of current QoS-aware schemes, not only emerging as a new trend towards objective measures but also providing necessary links to human perception. The use of such metrics is expected to turn the optimization of wireless networks more efficient in terms of user satisfaction than traditional techniques that are focusing solely on objective QoS metrics such as throughput, delay, jitter, throughput-based fairness, etc.QoE models that include user perception and user behavior are of essential importance for QoE-aware optimization of any communication system. In particular, novel QoE-aware transmission approaches are encouraged to be proposed to improve the efficiency of wireless networks for multimedia services. The aim of this feature topic issue isto encourage researchers to submit their work related to QoE-aware wireless multimedia networks. Authors with recent unpublished work on QoE modeling,measurements, analysis, control and optimization are particularly encouraged to submit their original contribution to this special issue. This feature topic also aims at bringing together the state-of-the-art research results of QoE issues for wireless multimedia networks. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: -- Relationships between traffic patterns, QoS and QoE parameters -- QoE models, their applications and use cases -- QoE inference from user behavior -- QoE measurement methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, pseudo-subjective testing, etc.) -- QoE for new wireless multimedia applications (e.g. 3D video) -- QoE-based routing and resource management -- QoE-aware transmission in wireless systems -- QoE-based network management -- QoE-aware cross-layer design -- QoE-driven adaptation and control mechanisms for wireless systems and devices -- QoE-based optimization in wireless environments -- Testbed for QoE performance evaluation -- Media synchronization,playback, and buffer management Papers must strictly focus on QoE issues and thus significantly go beyond current QoS approaches. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915/homepage/For… <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915/homepage…> ).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: ACM MiSeNet 2012 - In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Datum: Sun, 27 May 2012 11:08:55 -0400 (EDT) Von: Habib M. Ammari <hammari(a)umd.umich.edu> Antwort an: hammari(a)umd.umich.edu An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu The First ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2012) In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Istanbul, Turkey, August 22-26, 2012 http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/MiSeNet_Workshop2012.html Call for Papers Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2012 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications General Chair - Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) Program Chair - Habib M.
