Advances in hardware design and micro-fabrication have made it possible to potentially embed sensing and communication devices in every object, from banknotes to bicycles, leading to the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). It is expected that physical objects in the near future will create an unprecedented network of interconnected physical things able to communicate information about themselves and/or their surroundings and also capable of interacting with the physical environment where they operate. Key peculiarities of IoT are the extremely large number of devices and their capability of seamlessly communicating via the Internet Protocol, which is expected to make IoT technology pervasive. IoTech will tackle technical issues related to fundamental as well as applied research on Internet of Things. Our intention is being inclusive, gathering practitioners, implementors and researchers with differing backgrounds and expertise to foster technical discussion and collaborations among IoT technology. For this second edition we would like to emphasize two aspects: 1) on the one side, the ability to scavenge energy to facilitate a sustainable IoT; and 2) on the other side, the coexistence of different technologies in the IoT, e.g., (low-power) WiFi, IEEE 802.15.4 (and its many variants), LTE Femtocells as gateway access points, mixed wired and wireless network setups. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Energy efficient device architectures: emphasis will be given on novel hardware designs, especially exploiting or integrating systems for energy harvesting. * Energy driven network design: emphasis will be given to papers dealing with self-sufficient devices with energy harvesting capabilities. * Reference and concrete communication architectures for IoTs: emphasis will be given on the capability of scaling up to a large number of communicating devices. * Communication protocol suites for energy constrained devices: theoretical investigation, design, implementation and experimental validation. * Optimization and improvement of standard protocols for specific application domains, e.g., smart energy metering, for their usage within IoT domains. * Lightweight signal processing techniques for smart objects, e.g., distributed Source Coding, Compressive Sensing, Lossless and lossy compression, etc. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of research papers due: August 15, 2012 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2012 Camera-ready papers due: September 30, 2012 Workshop Date: October 11, 2012 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks"
by Lars Wolf 15 Jun '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks" Datum: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:40:02 +0200 Von: Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano <cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es> Antwort an: cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es Organisation: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =================================================================== Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail =================================================================== IEEE Network Special Issue on "Video over Mobile Networks" Background Video is a major challenge for the future mobile Internet as it is foreseen to account for close to 64% of consumer mobile traffic by 2013. Already today, mobile network operators are suffering from the exploding number of subscribers accessing high-volume mobile data services, and this trend is expected to intensify even further in the near future. The enormous proliferation of multimedia-capable portable devices -- such as smart phones, tablets and laptops equipped with 3G and WLAN interfaces -- has increased the volume and variety of multimedia digital content and related services. A large portion of portable devices benefit today from cellular flat rates, offered by mobile operators as a response to the increasing usersâ demand for ubiquitous and seamless access to content. This demand is mainly caused by the exponential growth of the popularity of multimedia web based services, such as YouTube, Flickr and Facebook, which has ultimately created a large pool of mobile multimedia âconsumersâ. Moreover, user portable devices are typically equipped with integrated cameras, enabling people to create multimedia content in a simple way, and thus dramatically enlarging the population of multimedia "producers" as well. Current network infrastructures are not prepared to deal with this traffic increase. The mobile Internet was not designed with video requirements in mind and, as a consequence, its architecture is not tailored to efficiently handle a large volume of video traffic. Scope and Contributions The goal of this special issue is to share research efforts on the design, adaptation and enhancement of IP-based mobile network architectures aimed at providing efficient video traffic support. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Improvements to cellular network architectures (at core and/or access level) for better mobile video support. * Integration of heterogeneous radio technologies for mobile video transport. * Mobile content distribution networks. * Mobile P2P video transport. * Cross-layer optimizations for video traffic. * New mobility management paradigms adapted for video traffic (e.g., management of users mobility, handoff process enhancements, app-level mobility, distributed mobility schemes, multicast mobility, etc.). * Layer 2 specific video optimizations (e.g., 802.11aa, video specific scheduling for LTE, etc.). * Video-related standardization efforts in the relevant standardization bodies (IEEE, IETF and 3GPP). * QoS policies for video traffic. * Testbed, experiments, and real-world deployments focusing on video over mobile networks. Submission Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Author Guidelines" at the IEEE Network Magazine Web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/ni/. Authors must submit their manuscripts electronically through ScholarOne Manuscripts at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/network-ieee/ (choose this special issue from the drop down menu on the submission page) according to the schedule below.
