-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Datum: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:15:40 -0400 Von: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> Antwort an: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Montevideo, Uruguay, November 25, 2013 http://mc3-2013.hds.utc.fr/ Hosted at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR) 2013 Scope and Objectives of MC3 -------------------------------------- The constant progress of both wireless technologies and robotics is rapidly leading to the convergence of these two fields towards the definition of a new discipline, wireless networked robotics (WNR), tackling multi-robot systems that can exploit the presence of a network medium for information sharing, interaction, and cooperation. In the past, communication and control have often been seen as two independent components of a robotic system, with the robot being passive with respect to networking and active in relation to other sensory-motor choices. Similarly, in networking, control actions other than communications are seen as external to the network device, and modeled as passive aspects of the system. Only limited work has addressed the inclusion of control mechanisms inside the classical ISO/OSI stack or through cross-layering approaches (mainly for energy consumption and mobility control). However, in WNR, adopting this differentiation between control and communication does not allow to fully exploit the capabilities of the system, since it directly impacts on the quality and reliability of robots' information flows. Networking and control need to be put in closed loop with each other} in order to fully unleash the power of a multi-robot system in terms of coordination and cooperative behaviors. In particular, controlled mobility can be play an important role supporting networking, and, in turn, boosting information sharing and robot to robot interactions. Similarly, networking parameters and policies need to continually adapt to the needs and constraints of the tasks the robots are engaged in. The MC3 workshop aims to address these issues, focusing on the investigation of the mutual interplay and adaptation between control and communication in networked systems featuring the presence of (heterogeneous) multiple mobile robots and sensors. The workshop will provide a contribution laying the pathway towards the information-centric design of cooperative, autonomous and self-organized robotic networks. Topics of Interest ---------------------- The workshop aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design and implementation of architectures, algorithms, and protocols for current and future applications of Wireless Networked Robotics, with an emphasis on the use of mobility. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Communication and motion-aware protocols for coordination and the cooperation of heterogeneous devices * Novel communication approaches for multi-robot wireless communications in different scenarios: aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial * Novel network stack or cross-layer architectures that include robot motion and control as network primitives * Intelligent use of controlled mobility to support and to be supported by networking * Cognitive radio and its applications to wireless networked robotics * Cooperative networking for cooperative task execution in multi-robot systems * Machine learning and bio-inspired approaches for wireless networked robotics * Use cases, novel applications, and testbeds for wireless networked robotics Venue ----- MC3 will be part of ICAR, the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics which be held at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de la República del Uruguay, in Montevideo, on November 25-29, 2013. This is the second edition of the MC3 workshop. In 2012 it was organized in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communication (ICNC), in Maui, Hawaii. The long-term objective is to keep organizing the MC3 workshop every year at a different conference, alternating between networking and robotics conferences. Paper Submission ------------------------ The deadline for paper submission is October 5, 2013. The maximum length for a paper is 8 pages in the IEEE format. Papers will be reviewed by three reviewers according to a single blind peer process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:45:40 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch> Antwort an: picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch Organisation: ETH Zürich An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 at http://edas.info/N15441.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine
by Lars Wolf 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:47:38 +0100 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> 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 -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Michele Nogueira <<michele AT inf.ufpr.br <http://inf.ufpr.br>>> Ph.D. in Computer Science www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele <http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility,on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 10:38:41 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea Picu <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Organisation: ETH Zürich An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 at http://edas.info/N15441.
