Boris Bellalta <boris.bellalta(a)upf.edu> schrieb: Special Issue on Research Advances and Standardization Activities in WLANs 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: September 15, 2012 Author notification: December 15, 2012 Revised paper due: January 31, 2013 Final author notification: March 15, 2013 Expected publication: 2nd 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.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] 1 month to submission CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Future Internet Testbeds Datum: Mon, 4 Jun 2012 08:35:01 -0500 Von: James P.G. Sterbenz <jpgs(a)ITTC.KU.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on Future Internet Testbeds http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… Important dates Paper submission: 01-07-2012 (extended) Acceptance notification: 15-09-2012 Final papers: 15-11-2012 It is increasingly recognised that the current Internet architecture is being challenged by unprecedented scale, new applications, untethered mobile wireless access, and domain-specific network scenarios and technologies including MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) and wireless sensor networks. At the same time we increasingly rely on the Internet for all aspects of our lives. The ability to evolve the Internet architecture to meet these challenges depends in part on the ability to test proposed protocols, services and configurations in a realistic setting at an appropriate scale. This requires testbeds that have significant scale, geographic scope, and that have a programmable Internet waist to permit experimentation with new addressing, forwarding, routing, and signalling paradigms. The GENI (Global Environments for Network Innovation) program in the US, and FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) programme in Europe have recognised and are funding this need. With this special issue of Computer Networks, we solicit papers that that describe the results of experimentation on the architecture, implementation, and deployment of Future Internet (FI) testbeds. While we are especially interested in experimental results, we also seek insightful papers that describe testbed architectures and their deployment issues, challenges, and experience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • programmable FI testbed architectures • scalability in node count, interconnection complexity, and geographic scope • interoperation and extension across research networks (such as Internet2, NLR, GÉANT2, JANET, JGN-X, and KOREN/KREONET) • heterogeneity and FI testbeds for domain-specific networks • alternative communication paradigms (e.g. packets vs. circuits) • deployment challenges and experiences • federation of heterogeneous testbeds with one another and with • instrumentation and measurement of FI testbeds • management of FI testbeds that are distributed across administrative domains • security, use policy, and broad research community access to FI testbeds • experiment design, methodology, and verification • experimental results that could not have been achieved on traditional end-system or localized testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab or Emulab) Submission format The submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet/ Submission Guideline All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as “Future Internet Testbeds” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Workshop on Smart Grid Communications: Design for Performance (SGComm 2012) (in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2012) Anaheim, California, Friday December 7, 2012 http://sgcomm.it.teithe.gr Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM), the IEEE Technical Committee on Transmission, Access and Optical Systems (TAOS) and the IEEE Communication Society Committee on Smart Grid Communications (SGCC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electric power represents a fundamental aspect of modern life and severe disruptions (e.g. large scale blackouts) have a disproportionate negative impact on it. Main electricity grid operations have started changing at an increased pace, due to the integration of renewable sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal). Due to the inherent variability in the supply of such sources, together with their distinct power characteristics, it has become imperative for the power grid to support not only two-way electricity flows, but also have demand-response mechanisms to allow users to adapt to real-time price signals. Hence, Smart Grid technologies that couple metering, monitoring, communications and control are of paramount importance for enabling these operations. Further, communication and information technologies are already utilized to meet the challenges for Green Communications. The Smart Grid Communications Workshop will be a combination of original papers, quick hot topic presentations, distinguished invited speakers and a panel discussion with participants from industry, funding agencies and academia. This will allow workshop participants to obtain a global perspective of the scope of this area and of the technical challenges associated with it, in a participative and interactive manner. Topics of interest The IEEE Workshop on Smart Grid Communications: Design for Performance (SGComm 2012) will bring together researchers from Academia and Industry, to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Communication architectures, networks and protocols for Smart Grid * Smart Grid networking infrastructure design and performance * Networking for smart metering, demand response management and pricing * Wide-area measurement, monitoring and control * Smart cities, buildings and home automation * Security and privacy issues in Smart Grid Communications * Quality of service and cross-layer in Smart Grids * Interconnection & Communications of electric vehicles and Smart Grid * Standardization activities for Smart Grid Communications * Energy efficient mobile and wireless/wired access networks * Architectures and frameworks for energy efficient network services and applications Submission Procedure Submitted papers must represent original material which is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-pages standard IEEE conference two-column format (including all text, figures, and references). Please refer to the workshop web pages for submission instructions. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2012 proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude an accepted and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library. Extended versions of selected best papers will be recommended for publication in Special Issues of prestigious International Journals. Workshop Chair: Prof. Michael Devetsikiotis, North Carolina State University, USA Technical Committee Co-Chairs: Prof. George Michailidis, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Dr. Periklis Chatzimisios, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Important Dates Manuscript submission: June 15, 2012 Acceptance Notification: July 10, 2012 Camera-ready: August 1, 2012
