Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2013 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Tenth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2013) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security and privacy issues and protection mechanisms - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) - Automated driving and communication Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

In recent years, ad-hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applications like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. Similarly, advances in micro-electro- mechanical devices and large-scale integration have enabled the realization of miniaturized sensor nodes that can probe their surroundings and transmit their measurements using on-board wireless transceivers. Large-scale networks of miniaturized sensor nodes may also enable new applications such as target tracking, security surveillance, elder care, and forest monitoring. Both ad hoc and sensor networks are characterized by their dynamic nature, which requires them to be adaptive to changes in the application environment, task objectives, and topological changes, among others. The last few years have witnessed the development of many innovative solutions for ad-hoc and sensor networks that are maturing to the level of commercialization and standardization. Yet, numerous challenges remain for the implementation of practical solutions that operate robustly, securely, and efficiently. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium of GLOBECOM'2013 opts to foster a forum for sharing ideas and recent results among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions related to ad-hoc and sensor networks. We are soliciting papers that describe original and unpublished contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New and unconventional applications of ad hoc and sensor networks * Novel architectures and operation models * Wireless sensor and actor networks * Wireless multimedia and 3-D sensor networks * Underwater and underground sensor networks * Body Area Sensor Networks * Cognitive radio networks in multi-hop environments * Wireless mesh and community networks * Wireless PANs and LANs * Pervasive and wearable computing * RFID systems * Delay-tolerant ad hoc networks * Self-organization and autonomic networking * Vehicular networks * Co-existence issues of hybrid networks * Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices * Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * New standards for ad hoc and sensor networks * Energy saving and power control protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks * Energy scavenging technologies * Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks * Location and context aware services * Scheduling and resource management algorithms * Deployment and coverage analysis of sensor networks * Localization algorithms and ranging technologies * Routing and multicasting protocols * Topology control and management * In-network processing and data storage * Fault-tolerance and traffic reliability issues * Cross-layer design and optimization * Mobility management and modeling * Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks * Security for ad hoc and sensor networks * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation * Experimental prototypes and testbeds * New simulation languages, programming abstractions, and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline of 15 March 2013 for publication in the IEEE Globecom 2013 Conference Proceedings and for presentation at the conference.

UbiComp 2013 will be multi-track and the acceptance rate is planned to be at the higher end of previous UbiComp and Pervasive conferences (i.e., around 20%). We welcome high quality papers, either in Full Paper format (max 10 pages, ACM double-column) or Note format (max 4 pages), that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Topics for submissions will include any work that one would previously expect to find at either UbiComp or Pervasive, such as: - Systems & infrastructures: descriptions of the design, architecture, deployment and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support ubiquitous computing - Devices & techniques: descriptions of the design, architecture, usage and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for ubiquitous computing - Applications & experiences: descriptions of the design and/or empirical study of applications that leverage Ubicomp devices and systems - Methodologies & tools: new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications - Theories & models: critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems All work should be grounded in existing Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing literature and knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary audience. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission for publication for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. UbiComp 2013 will introduce a number of changes to the submission and review process of prior Pervasive and UbiComp conferences, in particular a novel "revise and resubmit" phase. For a detailed description of these changes, along with full submission instructions, see the conference website at http://www.ubicomp.org/. IMPORTANT DATES - March 22, 2013: Paper submission deadline (hard deadline!) - May 8, 2013: Author notifications (incl. "revise & resubmit") - June 5, 2013: Revised paper submission deadline - June 16, 2013: Author notifications for revised submissions - September 8-9, 2013: Workshops and doctoral consortium - September 10-12, 2013: Main conference (Zurich, Switzerland) Following several successful collaborations as part of the Pervasive conference series, UbiComp 2013 will continue the tradition of cohosting with ISWC 2013, i.e., UbiComp attendees will be able to attend all ISWC sessions and vice versa, at no extra charge.

[CFP] Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) - Extended deadline
by Giuseppe Cardone 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Third Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) (http://mocs.disi.unibo.it) July 7th, 2013 Split, Croatia organized in association with the Eighteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2013) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/) Sponsored by (pending approval): IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) In cooperation with: IEEE Technical SubCommittee on Green Communications and Computing (TSCGCC) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2013 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green solutions for the processing of real-world Big Data knowledge base and streams over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: March 4, 2013 (extended deadline) Notification of paper acceptance: March 19, 2013 Submission of camera-ready papers: April 13, 2013 Workshop date: July 7, 2013 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should be no more than 7 pages, double column, IEEE style including tables, figures and references.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (submission deadline March 3rd)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 3, 2013 Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. _Program committee members_: Yacine Challal, Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France Flavio Esposito, Boston University - USA Essia Hamouda, University of Riverside, California, USA Antonio Iera, Università "Mediterranea" di reggio Calabria, Italy Srdjan Krco, Ericsson/University of Belgrade Thomas D.C.
