-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE WNM 2013 Datum: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:57:58 +1300 Von: Qiang Fu <Qiang.Fu(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies for multiple postings] Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2013 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) http://wnm2013.csis.mtroyal.ca/ co-located with 38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.ieeelcn.org/ October 21-24, 2013, Sydney, Australia SCOPE The 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) invites participants actively engaged in all aspects of network measurements. As computer networks are becoming more complex and diverse in terms of architecture, services, and devices, the importance of measurement increases. Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks, especially emerging and fast-growing ones, such as broadband wireless, mobile, home, data centers, WSN and various heterogeneous networks (Hetnets). Operators of fast-growing non-traditional networks are facing new challenges as cross-layer interactions of traditional protocols exhibit new behaviors. With emerging cloud, over-the-top and mobile services and applications, performance monitoring, anomaly detection and diagnosis becomes more difficult. In addition, fully understanding the impact of new services and applications on existing traditional networks is needed for planning and provisioning purposes. Inferring user experience from network measurements has been a long-standing challenge, which remains with cloud and mobile services growing. With rapid evolution of networking technologies and architectures, the measurement community can offer invaluable insights and improve understanding where lacking, especially in cases where validation of existing results is needed. TOPICS WNM is seeking original submissions that cover a broad range of topics in monitoring, measurement and analysis across wired and wireless networks: * Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation * Evaluation of Internet and smart-phone applications * Measurement across the network protocol stack * Measurement related to performance, reliability, security and privacy * Data centers, cloud-based services and content distribution networks * Measurement-based monitoring and troubleshooting of large-scale distributed systems, including cloud infrastructures * Monitoring and measurement of home networks * Network and service resiliency and performance during and after disasters and man-made outages natural * Evaluation of emerging paradigms for traditional services (e.g. moving from circuit-switched phone to VoIP) * Design, development and experiences with Big Data platforms and analytics * Assessment of previous measurement works ORGANIZATION Program Chairs Aniket Mahanti, University of Auckland, NZ Emir Halepovic, AT&T Labs - Research, US Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA IMPORTANT DATES * Paper Submission: May 12, 2013 * Notification: June 30, 2013 * Camera Ready: July 30, 2013 * Workshop: October 24, 2013 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere.

1st Call for Papers SPECIAL ISSUE OF PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING The Social Car: Socially-inspired Mechanisms for Future Mobility Services Submissions due: July 31, 2013 ************************************************************************* In the long tradition of driver-vehicle interaction, information systems have been socially ignorant ? they have not accounted for the fact that drivers? (humans?) emote all the time and decisions are always socially inspired. The next-generation automotive interfaces need to include the essence of social intelligence to become more effective and safer. Researchers have recently started to think about the topic of socially inspired cars and, in our comprehension, a broader discussion on the benefits and consequences of socializing cars is very likely to start in the near time. The central objective of this special issue is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars and the topic addressed by this special issue raises elementary questions including who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation. Potential topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to: * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, including traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Implementation of agents/robots for improving socially-inspired communication * The subject of social-inspired vehicle-to-vehicle communications * Network issues and protocols for social cars * Crowdsourcing concepts to improve transport (driving as a "collabo- ration" of different entities) * Authentication, privacy, safety, or security issues related to social car services * Relevant parameters to describe social status or behaviors of a driver or car and plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Potentials of socially inspired car-car communication and benefit assessment (why should cars or drivers disclose their social status or social relationships?) * Social norm in the automotive domain * Cultural differences evident in-vehicle social services * Polarization issues between supporters and opponents * Novel applications and services enabled by social cars * Case studies * Visionary perspectives Submission Guidelines --------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the "Guide for Authors" as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. - Submissions due: July 31, 2013 - Publication expected for 2014 Guest Editors of the Special Issue ---------------------------------- - Andreas Riener, Dept. of Pervasive Computing, University of Linz, Austria; Phone: +43 732 2468 ? 4473; Email: <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> - Myounghoon Jeon, Department of Cognitive & Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech, USA; Email: <mjeon(a)mtu.edu> - Ignacio Alvarez, IT Manager for Connected Drive & Innovations, BMW Group, Beijing, China; Email: <ignacioalvmar(a)gmail.com> - Franco Zambonelli, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy; Email: <franco.zambonelli(a)unimore.it> For detailed information visit: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/PMCSocialCar/ or http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/15741192
