Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014)
by Lars Wolf 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Fri, 1 Nov 2013 22:02:28 +0100 Von: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] Due date extended *one week* to November 11, 2013! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS athttp://edas.info/N15441. IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 11, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2013 - Camera ready: Late January, 2014 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Theus Hossmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Henrik Blunck, University of Aarhus, Denmark Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR Jordi Cucurull, Scytl Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Liam McNamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Min Wu, Oracle Corporation, USA Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK Yaxiong Zhao, Amazon.com Inc, USA Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy PUBLICITY CHAIR Andreea (Picu) Hossmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland -- -- Andreea (Picu) Hossmann Communication Systems Group (CSG), ETH Zurich Web: www.csg.ethz.ch/people/apicu Office: ETZ G 96, Gloriastrasse 35, 8006 Zurich Phone: +41 44 632 6894 Fax: +41 44 632 1035 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks Datum: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 10:28:27 -0200 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks *Aims and Scope* Society's increasing dependence on communication networks, the Internet and their services is evident from the wide range of activities that use electronic media, from entertainment to critical operations related to commerce, finance and life care. Humanity relies on the Internet to access information, obtain services, manage finances, and communicate with others. Businesses use the Internet to transact commerce with consumers and other businesses. Governments depend on communication networks for their daily operation and service delivery. The military depends on the Global Information Grid to execute network centric operations and warfare. Hence, in addition to transportation-infrastructure, power-generation, and distribution-grid public/private networks, the Internet and other publicly accessible communication networks are today critical infrastructures upon which our lives and prosperity depend. Given this dependence, vulnerabilities of communication networks and the Internet can significantly impact our lives. The dependence on communication networks and the Internet makes them an attractive target for attacks and intrusions attempting to either obtain information or disrupt service of individuals, businesses, government and military. These networks and services are also susceptible to accidents, faults or natural disasters that can disrupt service. Examples of natural disasters that compromised the network infrastructure are the hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. In the face of these difficulties, the need for greater resilience has been recognized for wireline and wireless networks and for the Internet. Resilience has classically been defined as the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults, accidents, attacks and natural disasters. This subject has attracted the attention of researchers, industry and governments around the world. Today, resilience can be considered an essential characteristic in the design and operation of networks to withstand the intrusions described above. Furthermore, we must now expand resilience to include new requirements, such as scalability, dynamic and opportunistic topologies, and global interoperation and interdependence among networks. This feature topic call-for-papers solicits recent, relevant works related to disaster resilience, especially in emerging networks. The main goal is to provide for the *IEEE Communications Magazine *an overview of the state-of-the-art of resilience, and to identify the new challenges from emerging network infrastructures in terms of scalability, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. Works addressing resilience issues in the context of new communication technologies, such as software-defined networks, cognitive radio and emerging optical technologies are of particular interest. *Topics* Articles describing original research and development as well as survey articles related to disaster resilience are solicited. The topics to be covered by this feature topic include, but are not limited to: * Disaster resilience for the following technologies: - LTE, LTE-A, 4G, Small Cells, femto-cells - Heterogeneous wireless networks - Access Networks - Flexible Optical Networks - Overlay and multi-layer networks - Virtualized Networks - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) - Datacenters, Cloud infrastructures, Networks for Big Data - Smart Grids, M2M - Green networks * Disaster resilience approaches coping with: - Mitigation and reconstruction of network infrastructure - Management for post disaster network infrastructure reconstruction - Network infrastructure adaptive capacity - Disaster risk reduction - Risk management and sustainability - Community and social engagement in providing communication infrastructure in disaster situation - Knowledge management and integration - Public policy and governance to build disaster resilient smart cities - Energy efficiency *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the *IEEE Communications Magazine*’s guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important to note that the *IEEE Communications Magazine* strongly limits mathematical content, the number of figures and tables, and the number of references. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select “October 2014/Disaster Resilience” as the submission category. *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission Due: February 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2014 Publication: October 2014 *Guest Editors* Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Deep Medhi, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA Robert Doverspike, AT&T Labs Research, USA *Further Information* http://www.comsoc.org/commag/call-for-papers ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Jun Bi <junbi(a)TSINGHUA.EDU.CN> Gesendet: Fri Nov 01 17:34:24 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Submission Due: Dec.15, 2013] INFOCOM2014 NOM workhsop ******************************************************************************** NOM 2013 Call for Papers The 2nd Workshop on Name-Oriented Mobility (NOM): Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2014 April 28 or May 2, 2014 Toronto, Canada http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2014/Workshops_NOM.html ******************************************************************************** The second edition of the NOM workshop will be held on May 2nd 2014 in conjunction with the IEEE INFOCOM 2014 conference after the great success of its first edition that was held with the ACM MobiHoc 2013 conference. The NOM workshop is particularly interested in Information Centric Network (ICN) advances in support of the mobile and wireless space. Name-oriented network architectures appear very promising for wireless and mobile networks, such as for instance IoT among wireless and mobile devices that could not scale well up till now, home networks among wireless and mobile hand held devices that constitute the majority of end-users devices, wireless sensor networks for smart spaces and vehicular networks which account a large, and exponentially increasing number of devices and connections that clearly suffer from the lack of mobility management in the IP architecture and the lack of an efficient data storage and sharing mean. Moreover, within the context of multimedia and video services and the huge demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content, ICN is promising in offering an alternative or complementing to the proprietary or specialized content distribution mechanisms, such as CDN and P2P systems, and aims for improved content access through general Internet mechanisms for content replication and dissemination among not only core network devices but also wireless edge network devices and wireless and mobile end-users devices.

Editor-in-Chief: Manuel Laguna. Impact factor (2012): 1.471 (Q1, COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEORY & METHODS). Aims and Scope: ============== Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays an extended engineering technology for many markets due to the great amount of their possibilities in collecting data from complex environments and processing them for different purposes. Nevertheless, this interest is not enough to apply this kind of networks as trustworthy solution for many real-world environments, such as industrial processes and critical infrastructures, where high reliability is required, together with other related key aspects as energy, security and efficiency. Many companies could overcome their reluctances if economic, reliable and easily deployed solutions are provided in this field. In this scenario, the heuristics and computational intelligence play an important role to solve many involved optimization problems, doing necessary the research on advanced solutions that result in a successful product. In this sense, there are many challenges, trends and open possibilities in this area that deserve to be known. In this special issue, we seek original, high quality articles, clearly focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the heuristics and mathematical optimization methods for obtaining reliable and efficient wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to the topics shown below. Topics of Interest: ================== The topics related to heuristics for reliable and efficient Wireless Sensor Networks deployments that are relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: * Energy minimization aspects: network lifetime and power savings. * Efficient networks deployments. * Heuristics and computational intelligence applied for solving optimization problems. * Multiobjective optimization problems. * Fault tolerance and quality of service. * Robust routing algorithms, network protocols and operating systems. * Security and privacy aspects of the communications. * Microprocessors, circuits, and embedded applications. * Application cases, user studies and experiences. Papers must be tailored to the problem of the wireless sensor networks and explicitly consider heuristics and mathematical optimization methods. 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. Authors should submit their manuscripts through Editorial Manager http://www.editorialmanager.com/heur/, selecting "SI - HREWSN" as the article type. Important Dates: =============== Submission deadline: December 1st, 2013. Acceptation notification: April 1st, 2014. Final Papers: June 1st, 2014.
