-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:37:49 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Perhaps, one of the biggest drivers for the many technological advances we see today is the need for faster and more reliable communications. Emerging applications of such faster and more reliable communications technologies include home entertainment, high-quality visual communication applications, massive multi-player gaming, and personal, body-area and sensor networking. Some of these applications will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content generation, manipulation and distribution. For example, TV content (including both non-premium and premium) can now be viewed wherever we are and on any connected device - a concept called TV Everywhere. Another example is high-definition video telephony/conferencing and collaboration over smart connected TV sets. These are all made possible by networking, software and middleware that provide ease of use, security and stunning interactivity to the consumers. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide-area communications via cellular or satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces, we see automobile functionality being extended, blurring the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking articles that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Particular topics of interest include: Scope of Contributions • Emerging wireless technologies for consumer networking • Pervasive computing and contextual systems in consumer communications • Architecture, platforms and protocols for consumer communications, networked games and virtual worlds • Middleware for networked consumer devices • Media and device adaptation • Social networking and its impact on consumer communications • Home and networked entertainment • Home networking and automation Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communication technologies community. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. Please submit your article in the PDF format by the submission deadline via the Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, go to the Author Center and select the topic "Consumer Communications and Networking Series." Review Policy As usual, all the submissions will be peer-reviewed. However, to reduce the load for the reviewers as well as the notification time for the authors, the editorial board will perform an initial review for each submission to determine whether it is within the scope of the series. The editorial board will reject submissions that are not fit for the series and notify the authors. Schedule for Submissions Open submission: Paper can be submitted anytime during the year. They will receive a review process, and, if accepted, they will be published in the first slot available for this Series. Publication is scheduled twice per year in June & December. Note: The December publication aligns with the IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking (IEEE CCNC) conference, held every year in January. Series Editors: Ali C. Begen, Cisco, Toronto, Canada, abegen(a)cisco.com Mario Kolberg, University of Stirling, Stirling, UK, mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk Madjid Merabti, Liverpool John Moores University, UK, M.Merabti(a)ljmu.ac.uk -- The University of Stirling is ranked in the top 50 in the world in The Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 table, which ranks the world's best 100 universities under 50 years old.

(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

Datum: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:03:54 +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. The deadline will be August 15th 2013, notification August 22nd 2013. A separate call will be distributed.

They are evolved to complex computer systems that are highly connected while still having to deal with automotive constraints and requirements such as safety, reliability, dependability, quality, and complex supply chain. Especially the increasing connectivity and the recent integration of smart devices (e.g., smartphones) and cloud services as well as the emerging applications give rise to new security and privacy issues. The incentive to protect the driver, the suppliers and the car manufacturers has been generally recognized. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in all security related to modern and next generation automotive systems. CyCAR workshop will be colacted with ACM CCS 2013. This workshop offers an opportunity to trigger the transfer of the accumulated knowledge by the ACM CCS community to the car industry while taking into account typical automotive constraints such as interoperability, reliability, dependability, quality, resource constraints or complex supply chain. Not only this is the first time that CCS is organized in Germany (country well known for his cars), this is also the first academic conference workshop only focusing on security and dependability for cyber vehicles. The last ARO workshop (_http://www.cybervehicle.umd.edu/_ [1]) has demonstrated that there is still a lot of security/privacy and dependability issues that need to be resolved, especially with the emergence of vehicles that are fully connected to theirs surrounding objects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and automotive industry researchers to discuss, identify and address the challenges related to achieving secure, dependable and privacy-preserving cybervehicle systems. The workshop should also represent a forum for presenting innovative ideas, discussions and interactions on security and privacy aspects related to next generation vehicles and transportation systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We seek original, high-quality research papers, related to security and dependability of automotive systems.
