-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 16:58:18 -0700 Von: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call for Papers:**Computer Communications* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

Dear All, Happy New Year! Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers. ************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on SDN Management and Orchestration (SDNMO) Uniform Management of SDN/ NFV/ PM /MCC/ SDDC (*) environments In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) Krakow, Poland, 9 May 2014 http://clayfour.ee.ucl.ac.uk/sdnmo2014/ http://noms2014.ieee-noms.org (*) SDN /NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC = Software Defined Networks / Network Functions Virtualization/ Programmable Networks / Mobile Cloud Computing / Software Defined Datacenter ************************************************************************************** In the next decade, the technological substrate and the monetary constrains will create a profound transformation of infrastructures for communications and services. The progressive integration of advanced Information Technologies (IT) and Communication Technologies (CT) will create new markets and products opportunities for the industry and new economic drivers for our society. This new paradigm relies extensively on the pervasive exploitation of processing, storage and networking resources: from smart things and devices to machines and vehicles, from radio access to micro-data centers in aggregation networks, from virtual middle-boxes to disaggregated service platforms. This calls for a complete rethinking, restructuring and redesigning of the current end-to-end architecture. Network programmability and dynamic configurability are essential requirements for future carrier networks. Software defined networking (SDN) along with network virtualization is envisaged as one of the key technology enablers for meeting these necessities. Within this framework, in order to fully exploit the potential of network and application virtualization and efficiently handling heterogeneous physical resources, e.g. across network and datacenter domains, network operators need orchestration platforms. Key platform ingredients are algorithms to allocate physical resources to virtual requests and find the optimal location of network functions, IT and CT resources, services and corresponding states, especially at the edge of the network. Equally important are the APIs at the different interfaces between individual resources and their controllers to implement the orchestration functionality. This timely workshop will shed light on the fundamental technology components for SDN management and orchestration, as primary building blocks of the network of the future. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: • Unified management frameworks for SDN/ NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC • Abstractions, architectures and management functions for rapid service deployment in SDN/ NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC environments • Position papers on the bottlenecks and architectural challenges to be resolved for maturing SDN /NFV / PM/ MCC/ SDDC environments • Architectures, functions, interfaces and protocols for efficient management and orchestration • Quality of Network (QoN): QoS/QoE in (future) networks supported by SDN • Orchestration of SDN resources and related virtual requests embedding algorithms • Network abstractions, node and link mapping problem description • Embedding algorithm implementations, solutions for nodes and links mapping problem • SLA composition for virtualized network functions • Auto-X: auto-reconfiguration, auto-monitoring, auto-failure detection and migration in SDN enabled networks • Evaluation Tools and Testbeds Author instructions Complete manuscripts in PDF format must be registered and electronically submitted for peer-review through JEMS (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1812) following the authors´ guideline available athttp://noms2014.ieee-noms.org/content/call-technical-session-papers. The workshop proceedings will be published through IEEE Xplore.

Conf. Distr. Comp. Sys. Call for Papers for *WWASN2014*: From Wireless Sensor Networks to Cyber-Physical Systems Eleventh International workshop, held in conjunction with the ICDCS 2014 The 34th Int. Conf. Distr. Comp. Sys., Madrid, Spain, June-July 2014 Wireless sensor network and related organization, communication, and optimization techniques are experiencing renewed interest in the context of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which is an umbrella term that refers to the integration of computation, communication, and control processes executed by billions of networked devices, including sensors, actuators, smart user devices, autonomic devices, and others. Also, CPS are envisaged as one of the enabling technologies for the development and implementation of Smart Grids. Successful design, development, and deployment of CPS pose a number of novel problems that need to be resolved through innovative research with immediate practical significance. In addition, many of the solutions that have been successfully developed and utilized in various areas of communications are simply rendered ineffective by the sheer scale and other aspects of CPS, and creative re-development of new solutions specifically tailored to address them is needed. This workshop covers communication aspects of sensor, actuator, Internet-of-Things, and networks used to implement Cyber-Physical Systems in general. The range of topics includes all relevant issues from architecture to applications, at all levels of granularity from physical up to application aspects. Research results dealing with policy, human interface, and other relevant technologies will be welcome as well. The overarching goal is to provide a premier venue for dissemination, discussion, and refinement of research results pertaining to all communication-related aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems and related technologies. Submitted articles will be carefully reviewed for quality and relevance. Each article will be reviewed by experts of the same topic. In the selection process, a comprehensive coverage will be sought, covering the most important topics such as (but not limited to): - Architecture and design of large scale CPS - Self-organization and self-management of CPS networks - Advanced communication models, protocols, and technologies for CPS - Application development and deployment in CPS environment - Big data in CPS: collection, management, query, and inference - Pervasive and wearable computing - Reliability and redundancy issues in CPS networks - Security, privacy, and trust in CPS networks - Energy efficiency and the development of scalable energy-efficient protocols and technologies - Methods and tools for modeling, analysis, and simulation of large scale CPS networks - Novel applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices Selected best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks<http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/AHSWN/AHSWN.html> journal. *Submission details* Papers should be submitted via email<wkui@ieee.org,%20vmisic@scs.ryerson.ca?subject=WWASN2014%20submission>.

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 .
