-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE - Context-Aware Networking and Communications Datum: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 09:30:22 +0200 Von: Igor Bisio <igor.bisio(a)UNIGE.IT> Antwort an: Igor Bisio <igor.bisio(a)UNIGE.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE Context-Aware Networking and Communications Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user's context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). This feature topic's scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture Context-aware green communications and computing networking Context-aware modeling and analysis methods Context-aware security approaches Context-aware distributed systems Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web Context-aware data storage and cloud computing Context-aware recommender systems Context-awareness in smart spaces Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Context-aware communications services and applications Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing Mobile phone sensing Personal awareness in smart environments Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers Context-aware social networks Urban awareness for communications and networking Social agents and avatars Virtual humans for communications and networking Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 03 Oct '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 20:57:31 -0500 Von: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> Antwort an: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2 weeks to deadline! ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal "Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks ------------------------------------------------------------ With the recent initiatives to upgrade the existing power grid to a Smart Grid, there has been a significant interest in the design and development of an efficient communication infrastructure for connecting different components of the Smart Grid. In addition to currently used underlying networks and protocols, new wired/wireless networks and protocols are planned to be deployed for different components/applications of the Smart Grid. Based on the data requirements of the applications, new challenges have arisen at the network layer of the protocol stack with respect to routing and data forwarding. Smart Grid is expected to be a multi-tier network supported by a hybrid mesh of different communications technologies to provide efficient and reliable access to grid components in diverse environments. Mainly, there will be three components of this multi-tier network which can be deploying a variety of communications networks. These networks are known as Home Area Network (HAN)/ Field Area Networks (FAN), Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Recent research on Smart Grid mostly focused on the security and privacy aspects of its applications. While some of the current routing protocols designed for wireless networks can be partially used in some of the Smart Grid networks, unique characteristics of Smart Grid applications as well as the large-scale size of the infrastructure necessitates new research at the network layer. In particular, there are several key issues need to be addressed in order to support network interconnectivity across the Smart Grid communication infrastructure that consists of HANs, NANs and WANs. For instance, scalability is an issue if a wireless infrastructure is to be used given that current wireless networking protocols are geared for small-size networks. In this respect, employment of power-line communications requires careful adaptation of the current routing protocols to address interference issues on power-lines. Another important issue is security since Smart Grid will consist of multiple-interconnected networks with diverse underlying communication technology, ownership and management. The availability and reliability of the Smart Grid as well as certain privacy information such as power usage data from each household need to be protected en route to the destination. Furthermore, the communication infrastructure will require status monitoring, fault detection, isolation, and recovery that pertain to rerouting. Finally, the ability to uniquely identify elements in the network and routing capabilities to all network end points for a wide range of applications with different quality of service (QoS) requirements will need to be addressed. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of routing in several networks of Smart Grid with different goals, characteristics and limitations. We solicit papers which will address routing challenges that are unique to Smart Grid and address major issues such as security, privacy, reliability, QoS, interference and scalability which pertain to Smart Grid applications. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to - Scalable routing protocols for NANs and FANs - Efficient routing protocols in HANs - Novel routing protocols in powerline communications - Adaptation of existing routing protocols for powerline communications - QoS routing on NANs for Demand Response and WASA (Wide Area Situational Awareness) applications - Secure routing protocols in HANs and NANs - Reliable routing in lossy environments - User privacy and routing trade-offs in HANs and NANs - QoS and security tradeoffs in routing HANs and NANs - Interoperability, standardization and node heterogeinty in routing across HANs, NANs and WANs - Node placement and routing performance issues - Routing protocols for fault-detection and recovery - Data aggregation and routing - Cross-layer routing via multiple channels and MIMO - Routing experiences in testbeds and real-life applications - Support for aggregation and disaggregation of Smart Grid data in support for temporal and spatial visibility - In-network processing and sharing of distributed generation and renewable energy source and its communications infrastructure - Routing support for bad data detection - Interference and routing interrelations and techniques to mitigate the performance Degradations - Routing techniques to deal with massive data from Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and smart meters Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). This feature topic's scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture Context-aware green communications and computing networking Context-aware modeling and analysis methods Context-aware security approaches Context-aware distributed systems Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web Context-aware data storage and cloud computing Context-aware recommender systems Context-awareness in smart spaces Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Context-aware communications services and applications Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing Mobile phone sensing Personal awareness in smart environments Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers Context-aware social networks Urban awareness for communications and networking Social agents and avatars Virtual humans for communications and networking Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines). All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com, select "June 2014/Context-Aware Networking and Communications" from the drop-down menu), according to the following timetable: Submission Deadline: November 1, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2014 Publication Date: June, 2014 Guest Editors Jinsong Wu, Bell Laboratories, China, wujs(a)ieee.org Igor Bisio, University of Genoa, Italy, igor.bisio(a)unige.it Haibo Li, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, haiboli(a)kth.se Ekram Hossain, University ofManitoba, Canada, ekram(a)EE.UManitoba.CA Chris Gniady, University of Arizona, USA, gniady(a)cs.arizona.edu Massimo Valla, Telecom Italia S.p.A., Italy, massimo.valla(a)telecomitalia.it
