Hence, recently several mobile augmented reality (AR) applications have been developed e.g. AR-based tourist guiding system. Such applications superimpose computer-generated data such as text, video, graphs on top of the real-world view as captured by a camera embedded within a smartphone. Thus, such applications enhance a userâ€™s perception of reality and of his surrounding environment. Furthermore, mobile augmented reality applications which are designed for children with special needs have recently appeared. In addition, recently researchers have extended robots usage into our daily lives such as search and rescue operations, education, entertainment, special need population e.g. autistic children or seniors. These new mobile augmented reality and robot application domains require close interactions with human beings, smart intelligence to allow smooth visual and audio recognition and some novel interface design. In this workshop, we hope to gather researchers who conduct researches in these two exciting fields to gather and share information on the challenges they face as well as their innovative design. * * *Relevant Topics include (but are not limited to these):* Fundamental design: 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] One month to the deadline: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on "New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks" Datum: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:56:40 +0000 Von: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** Call for Papers Special Issue on New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks * Deadline: February 17, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… Internet is extending beyond its fixed network infrastructure boundaries by gradually incorporating a wide range of challenging networks and autonomous devices, serving non-traditional user communities, such as space missions, disaster areas, and economically challenged populations. These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, use at least 11pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. * Important Dates * Manuscript Submission: February 17, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 16, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 14, 2014 * Editor in Chief * Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA * Guest Editors * Vassilis Tsaoussidis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in road environment * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles *Submission guidelines:* The VTM workshop follows the formatting guidelines of IEEE VTC2014-Spring.

Simultaneous use of LEDs for both lighting and data communications is a sustainable and energy-efficient approach that has the potential to revolutionize how we use light. Besides indoor illumination, LEDs are being widely used in outdoor lighting, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. This makes possible the use of VLC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications which are key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). This workshop aims to provide a scientific forum to discuss the potential of VLC in the context of ITSs and identify the associated problems, challenges, requirements, and research directions. Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-pages, original, unpublished, full technical papers in the following topics of interest, but are not limited to: · Advanced coding and modulation techniques for V2V and V2I communications · MIMO VLC systems for vehicular networks · Multi-hop VLC vehicular networks · Effect of sunlight and ambient noise on vehicular VLC performance · LED pointing, acquisition and tracking · MAC and upper layer protocols for vehicular VLC networks · Centralized and distributed vehicular VLC networks · Navigation and positioning using VLC · VLC-based park assistance · VLC-based vehicle platoons · Advanced driver assistance systems · Vehicular area networks (VANETs) · Integration aspects with public lighting infrastructures · Hybrid RF/VLC vehicular networks · Intelligent transportation systems · VLC for high speed communication with trains · Test beds and field trials Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. Accepted full papers should not exceed 5 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted full papers longer than 5 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page. Papers cannot be longer than 7 pages. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through the TrackChair system (http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/ <http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928103&m=3373045&u=IEEE_V…>). All submitted papers will be subject to three independent reviews.

Participants are expected to share their views on which new technology enablers are going to be the pillars of the coming 5G mobile and wireless system. Those enablers may be components of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC or upper layers) or new architectural models. It is widely viewed that the future mobile infrastructure will have to cope not only with a quantitative growth of the requirements that we are facing today (higher capacity, data rate, number of connected devices) but also with qualitatively new requirements (higher reliability, larger versatility, application-domain specific topologies) resulting from a broader scope of applications over 5G networks. In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly connected devices in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks. To meet the demands beyond 2020, a system that broadens the use of today's wireless networks is needed. Fundamentally new concepts and design approaches are needed, and these must be integrated into systems that provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at low cost and low energy consumption. This workshop presents a forum for exchange of ideas between all stakeholders. We invite researchers to submit original papers in the following areas: * D2D communication * Machine-type communication/massive machine communication * Ultra-reliable networks and NSPS communication * Moving networks and vehicular-to-anything communication * Ultra-dense deployments * Radio network architectures including beyond cellular * Self-organizing networks and distributed features * Energy efficient networks * Network and massive MIMO * Network coding * Efficient air interfaces (low signaling overhead, energy consumption) * Optimizing radio access * Interference metrics, measurements and management * Millimeter-wave communication * Spectrum measurement and models * Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models * Cognitive radio networks * QoS provisioning and MAC protocol * Trust and security * Experimental prototypes and results related with the above topics *Important Dates:* * Paper Submission : 23 February, 2014 * Author Notification : 14 March, 2014 * Final paper submission : 24 March, 2014 *Paper Submission:* Papers should follow the 2-column IEEE conference template and not exceed 5 pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE IoT Journal - SI on IoV Datum: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:54:59 -0800 Von: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Vehicles (IoV) The new era of Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the evolution of conventional Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANET) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm. According to recent predictions, 25 billion of “things” will be connected to the Internet by 2020 among which vehicles will constitute a significant portion. The difference of the vehicle concept in VANET and IoV makes these two scenarios essentially different in the device, communications, networking, and services aspects. In VANET, a vehicle is mainly considered as a node to disseminate messages among vehicles. In the IoV paradigm, each vehicle is considered as a smart object equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communications technologies, computation units, IP-based connectivity to the Internet and to other vehicles either directly or indirectly. In addition, a vehicle in IoV is envisioned as a multi-communication model, enabling the interactions between intra-vehicle components, vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and road, and vehicles and people. IoV enables the acquistion and processing of large amount of data from versatile geographical areas via intelligent vehicles computing platforms to offer various categories of services for road safety and other services to drivers and passengers. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize IoV. A typical challenge is the big data processing and storage in IoV due to huge number of connected vehicles. Personal cloud and mobile cloud computing are envisioned to play important roles in dealing with the big data. The seamless integration of the social context into IoV is a promising approach as well as an important question to achieve green transport. In addition, the wide penetration of electrical vehicles in the near future will demand a very careful consideration on the intelligent interactions between IoV and the smart grid. Here, the interactions are not limited to the communications and computation, but the power load scheduling within the demand response management framework in the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) network. All these issues are being studied in academics, industries, and standardization organizations. This special issue is seeking original contributions on IoV, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this area and discussing IoV challenges, key enabling techniques, platforms and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): • IoV architectures and services • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communications • V2G efficient demand response management • Vehicle social networks for IoV • Mobile cloud computing for IoV • Efficient big data analysis for IoV • Mobile sensing networking in IoV • Driverless vehicles and supporting technologies • Dynamic spectrum access technologies in IoV • IoV for efficient and green transportation • Urban sensing for environment monitoring • Security, privacy and trust in IoV • Novel applications and business models • Testbed platform and field trials • New network technologies for efficient service provision (e.g., content-centric network) Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: August 1st 2014 Revision Due: September1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 1st 2014 Final Manuscript Due: October 20th 2014 Publication Date: December 2014 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on IoV. Solicited original submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) at SIGCOMM Datum: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 15:02:44 +0100 Von: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) ----------------------------------- in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference, on August 18, Chicago, USA. Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms – some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up * Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks * Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence * Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks * Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements * QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements * Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers * Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Please see the workshop webpage for further guidelines. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/csws.php Please use the following link for paper submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csws14 Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2014 Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2014 Workshop date: August 18, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany ------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
