For new technologies or infrastructure designs to be adopted, they must not be only based on sound engineering performance considerations but also present the right economic incentives. Recent changes in regulations of the telecommunication industry make such economic considerations even more urgent. For instance, new concerns such as network neutrality have a significant impact on the evolution of communication networks. At the same time, communication networks and networked systems support increasing economic activity based on applications and services such as cloud computing, social networks, and peer-to-peer networks. These applications pose new challenges such as the development of good pricing and incentive mechanisms to promote effective system-wide behavior. In relation to these applications, security and privacy also require consideration of economic aspects to be fully understood. The aim of this theme section is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions on the application of economic and game-theoretic models and principles to address challenges in the development of networks and network-based applications and services. We invite submission of original completed work not currently under review by any other journal describing theoretical/methodological contributions or applications to cases of interest. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Pricing of resources in communication networks, grids, and cloud computing * Pricing of online goods, copyright issues, effect of network structure (e.g., social network) * Economic issues in universal broadband access and economics of peering * Effect of market structure and regulations (e.g., network neutrality) * Economics of networks security and privacy * Auctions and applications to networks: spectrum auctions, auction-based marketplaces for network and cloud resources * Incentive mechanisms for networks: peer-to-peer systems, clouds, wireless networks, spam prevention, security * Methods for engineering incentives and disincentives (e.g., reputation, trust, control, accountability, anonymity) * Empirical studies of strategic behavior (or the lack thereof) in existing, deployed systems * Design of incentive-aware network architecture and protocols * Game-theoretic models and techniques for network economics: large games, learning, mechanism design, interaction of game theory and information theory or queuing theory, information exchange, diffusion, dynamics of cooperation and network formation, trades in social and economic networks * Algorithmic mechanism design * Critiques of existing models and solution concepts, as well as proposals of better models and solution concepts * Studies of polarization, online collaboration, crowdsourcing, and human computation ******************************************************************* SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Initial submissions must be at most 20 pages and comply with the ACM Transactions on Internet Technology policies.

Datum: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:44:47 +0200 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ========================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! --- submission deadline extended to June 28th --- We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are, nontheless, new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. Submissions must be fully anonimized, as REALWSN will apply a double-blind review process. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes on Electrical Engineering series and indexed by all major digital libraries (e.g., ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar, ...). All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 28th, 2013 (extended) * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well.

Quality of Experience for Multimedia Communications (QoEMC 2013) ***** http://qoe.diee.unica.it ***** Organized in conjunction with IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2013) 9-13 December 2013, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Multimedia Communications of the IEEE Communications Society It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new multi-modal media necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived multimedia quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality nof Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging multimedia services over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g. IPTV/HDTV/3DTV, Tablet video call, 3D smartphone). As of today though we do not know how to manage and control QoE in a diverse heterogeneous environment. The variables that affect QoE are just too many and span several disciplinary areas, including multiple technologies, but also psychology and sociology factors. Despite the efforts devoted to QoE studies, managing and controlling user QoE is still an open issue. Topics of interest The Workshop Quality of Experience for Multimedia Communications (QoEMC) will bring together researchers from academia and industry, to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: -QoE relation and mapping to QoS -KPI and KQI for the QoE definition -QoE models, their applications and use cases -QoE inference from user behavior -QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, online versus offline) -QoE for new wireless multimedia applications -QoE-based routing and resource management -QoE-aware cross-layer design -QoE-based optimization in heterogeneous environments -QoE Metrics for various media applications (e.g. 3D, Gaming, etc) -QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies -Standardization activities for QoE Submission Procedure Please see the Author Information page for submission guidelines in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 website http://www.ieee-globecom.org. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 proceedings. Special Issue Extended version of high-quality papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue in a top-ranked journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Authors] Deadline extension CFP: International Workshop on Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication With and Without Infrastructure Datum: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:05:50 +0200 Von: Jaime Lloret Mauri<jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es> Antwort an: Authors of some conferences <authors(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: authors(a)inf.ufsc.br We apologize for the reception of multiple copies. ==================================================================== International Workshop on Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication With and Without Infrastructure: http://d2dgc13.prosjekt.uia.no/ Collocated with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013, 9-13 December 2013, Atlanta, USA Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has gained increasing popularity very recently, not only among researchers in academia and industries but also among standardization bodies. D2D communication enables two or more mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish direct local links, either in an autonomous manner to form an ad hoc network or coordinated by a base station to perform direct data transfer. The benefits of D2D communication include ubiquitous computing and communication, traffic offload from cellular networks, improved energy efficiency and coverage extension, peer-to-peer communication supporting social networks etc. However, there are many issues to be addressed before the concept of D2D communication can be implemented and commercialized. These problems include for example how to find device proximity, how to manage interference and how to control link quality, how to achieve energy efficiency for neighbor discovery and multi-hop communication establishment, etc. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together the state-of-the-art results in the field of D2D communication, including both cellular-coordinated approaches and distributed ad hoc networking solutions, and to share knowledge to trigger D2D communication from concept to reality. The topics to be addressed by this workshop include both physical layer and networking issues as well as envisaged services and applications. Topics of interest cover all aspects related to D2D communication with and without infrastructure, including results for both cellular-coordinated approaches and distributed ad hoc networking solutions from academia, industries as well as standardization bodies. In particular, this workshop solicits contributions on the following (but not limited to) topics: - Frequency reuse and spectrum sharing for D2D communication - Energy-harvesting aware protocols for D2D communication - Power and interference management - Resource allocation and optimization for D2D communication in cellular networks - Neighbor discovery and link maintenance - Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication - MAC mechanisms for distributed and central-controlled D2D networks - Routing protocols for multi-hop D2D networks - Device-initiated versus BS-coordinated link establishment - WiFi Direct based implementations and applications - LTE Direct based implementations and applications - Programs and apps for D2D communication based on smartphones - Business models for D2D communication Important Dates - Paper submission: 30 June 2013 - Acceptance notification: 1 September 2013 - Camera-ready: 1 October 2013 - Workshop date: 9 (or 13) December 2013 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers need to be uploaded to the EDAS GLOBECOM 2013 workshop submission link (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14925), and should follow the GLOBECOM 2013 paper submission guidelines. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of Six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures (maximum 1 additional page is allowed with over-length page charge of USD100 if accepted). All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore together with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if it is not presented at the conference. _______________________________________________ Authors mailing list Authors(a)inf.ufsc.br http://listas.inf.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/authors
