-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP - 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVEC 2013) Datum: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:12:28 +0000 Von: Schünemann, Björn <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP IJDSN Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" Datum: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:47:01 +0200 Von: Nadjib Achir <nadjib.achir(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers for "International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks" Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" The area of monitoring and control of physical environments has recently become a hot spot in the technology landscape. Currently, a number of companies are offering a plethora of sensing devices with different phenomena's monitoring capabilities. These devices, a.k.a. sensors, can be tiny with limited energy and processing capabilities; they can be stand alone or integrated in various and they can be deployed to form a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in support to a variety of military, civil, and environmental applications. In a WSN, the sensors are also capable to communicate with each other and in a multihop way propagate sensing information to data sinks and operations centers. In the last few years, wireless sensor networking has been a very active research area in both academia and the industry with a wide variety of applications. While the set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, researches have mainly focused on fundamental networking challenges, which include: routing protocols and energy minimization. However, the performances of the proposed solutions strongly depend on the way sensors were positioned in the area. To that end, the goal of this special issue is to report on recent advances in wireless sensor network planning and deployment. Its scope is open for both theoretical and practical contributions related to WSN architecture, planning, deployments, and applications. Authors are solicited to contribute to this special issue by submitting original articles that illustrate research results, projects, and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in this field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - WSN deployment - WSN planning (MAC protocols, scheduling, and routing) - Clustering in WSNs - Large-scale WSN deployment - WSN coverage - Query processing for data streams - Deployment and energy-efficient communication - Self-organization and network reconfiguration - Energy harvesting in WSNs - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSNs - Configuration, robustness, reliability, and failure tolerance - Security, privacy, and trust - Planning and deployment of multimedia sensor networks - Planning and deployment of underwater sensor networks - Planning and deployment of body area sensor networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes of WSN deployment - Applications: health, environment, emergency, tracking, and so forth - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSN Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/guidelines/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - JSAC Smart Grid Series - Submission Deadline Extension to October 8, 2012 Datum: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:02:05 -0400 Von: Nada Golmie <nada.golmie(a)nist.gov> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers : IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications- Special series on Smart Grid Communications "Smart Grid" refers to the modernization of electric grid to allow for more efficient generation, transmission, distribution, and usage of energy. This is becoming necessary in order to transition to a more sustainable energy generation and consumption and reduce its adverse effects on the environment. While more advances in areas like renewable energies and network control are necessary, advances in communication technologies, data fusion and mining, as well as scheduling and optimization are also critical in order to achieve this vision. It is anticipated that the same communication technologies that have revolutionized our way of life in the past decades, ranging from sensor networks, mobile Internet, cloud computing, smart phones and many others, will have direct applicability to Smart Grid. Many off-the-shelf and commercial communication technologies may be ready for deployment in the Smart Grid today. Examples include the use of wireless communications to collect and exchange information about electric quality, consumption, pricing, etc. However, allowing greater flexibility in sharing information in a secure and reliable fashion still poses a number of challenges. Furthermore, using off-the-shelves technologies may lead to inefficiencies, especially if energy management specific features are not utilized adequately in the data compression and the collection infrastructure. Questions that remain unanswered in the smart grid context, include, coverage, interference, spectrum sharing, architecture, network topology, access control and authentication, data representation, data fusion and many more. This series of IEEE JSAC is focused on identifying the numerous communication challenges posed by the various aspects and functionalities of the Smart Grid and exploring research avenues for addressing them. Original contributions that are unpublished and not currently under review by any other journal are solicited in relevant areas of Smart Grid communications including (but not limited) to the following: * Physical and MAC layer protocols for Smart Grid applications * Spectrum sharing, coexistence and interference mitigation in Smart Grid communications * Network control for the power grid * Smart Grid sensors data fusion and mining models * Communications to support demand-response, load and pricing management * Smart Grid cyber-physical network modeling and performance analysis * Measurement data from Smart Grid testbeds and field trials * Architecture and network topology for Smart Grid applications * Cyber and physical vulnerabilities and Smart Grid security Each submission should demonstrate clear applicability to Smart Grid communications. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the information for authors (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html).

IPSN brings > together researchers from academia, industry, and government to > present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and > experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, > information and coding theory, databases and information management, > distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless > communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, > machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems > design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a > multiple of these areas. > > The conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information > Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design > Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors should carefully review the intended > foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for > their work, and they are encouraged to contact the program chairs with > questions or clarifications. As an example of these different > emphases, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of > data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, > while studies on the hardware and software platforms and tools used > for deployment should be submitted to the SPOTS track. > > The IP track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for > information processing using networks of embedded, human-operated, or > social sensors. Topics covered in the IP track include, but are not > limited to: > - Innovative applications and deployment experiences > - Mobile, participatory, and social sensing > - Coding, compression and information theory > - Data processing, storage and management > - Detection, classification, and tracking > - Distributed algorithms and reasoning > - Distributed and collaborative signal processing > - Fundamental bounds and formulations > - Location, time, and other network services > - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation > - Network protocols > - Programming models and languages > > The SPOTS track focuses on new hardware and software architectures, > modeling, evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, > implementations, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems. > Submissions are expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and > implementations. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are > not limited to: > - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures > - Embedded software for sensor networks > - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks > - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis > - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and > study/compare the performance of platforms and tools > - Network health monitoring and management > - Operating systems and runtime environments > - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing > - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems > > ORGANIZING COMMITTEE > General Chair: > Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC > TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): > Kay Romer, University of Lubeck > TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): > Raj Rajkumar, CMU > Demo Chair: > Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and Swedish Institute of > Computer Science > Poster Chair: > Tian He, University of Minnesota > Workshop/Tutorial Chair: > Aman Kansal, Microsoft Research > Publications Chair: > Raghu Ganti, IBM Research > Finance/Sponsorship Chair: > Akos Ledeczi, Vanderbilt University > Web Chair: > Hengchang Liu, UIUC > Publicity Co-Chairs: > Ying Zhang, Google > Li Cui, ICT CAS > Martina Maggio, Lund > PhD Forum Co-Chairs: > Polly Huang, NTU > > STEERING COMMITTEE > Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia (Chair) > Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign > Deborah Estrin, University of California - Los Angeles > Leo Guibas, Stanford University > William Kaiser, University of California - Los Angeles > P.R.
