-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 Datum: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 03:24:43 +0000 Von: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 (June 16, 2014) Despite the rapid rise in online activity, people lead much of their lives in the physical world. They travel to places, dwell at various locations, spend time with other people, shop, go to the gym, watch movies, and listen to music or are exposed to announcements, all of which is often based on what interests them. Therefore, there is much to be learnt about users from their physical actions and activities, which is often not manifested in their online activity. Such insights can be of benefit both to users directly and to businesses. While huge strides have been made in online analytics to extract a wealth of information from peoples' online activities, corresponding work in the physical context - which we term as Physical Analytics - is relatively nascent and scattered. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to have a conversation on Physical Analytics, with a view to coalescing a research agenda for the community. Our intention is keep the scope broad - spanning devices, algorithms, systems, applications, and policy - yet have the discourse be focused on physical analytics. The workshop will include invited talks, a panel, and refereed papers, with as much time devoted to discussion as to the presentations themselves. For more information, please visit the workshop website at: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/workshops/physicalanalytics Program Co-Chairs: Deborah Estrin (Cornell Tech, USA) Venkat Padmanabhan (Microsoft Research, India) Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 24, 2014 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Workshop date: June 16, 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE WoWMoM workshop on Resilient ICT for Management of Mega Disasters Datum: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 09:25:08 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)IIS.SINICA.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)IIS.SINICA.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Resilient Information and Communication Technologies for Management of Natural Disasters (RITMAN 2014) June 16, 2014, Sydney, Australia http://newslabx.csie.ntu.edu.tw/RITMAN14/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL INFORMATION -------------------------------- RITMAN 2014 is the second of the workshop series on resilient information and communication technologies (ICT) for management of natural disasters and will be held at Sydney, Australia in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2014. The previous workshop RITMAN 2012 was held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2012), December 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan. Disaster management is a multi-phase process, from mitigation, to preparedness, response, recovery, to reconstruction. RITMAN workshops focus primarily on preparedness, response and recovery phases. In recent years, we have seen tremendous advances in technologies for the predication and detection of natural disasters. Many standards and tools have enabled interoperability of diverse sensors, sensor networks and web services. Open platforms and message exchange standards have emerged to facilitate alert delivery and support response operations. Despite these advances, statistics on natural disasters still show that even technologically advanced regions are not as well prepared and resilient against calamitous events that bring damage, destruction and loss of property and life. RITMAN workshop series aims to provide researchers and developers with a forum for the purpose of stimulating discussions and collaborations on missing ICT and novel applications that can enhance preparedness and resiliency against disasters, especially events of unforeseen sizes and severity. The central theme of RITMAN 2014 will be the exploitation of wireless and mobile technologies for disaster preparedness and response. Topics of interest include but not limited to the following: - Disaster resilient communication - Responsive messaging services during mega disasters - Technology for crowdsourcing disaster surveillance sensor data - Assessment and reduction of uncertainty in disaster information - Mobile device based cloud - Cyber-physical devices and applications for disaster preparedness and response - Integration of resources and information in cyber and physical spaces - Privacy protection of rescue/emergency information - Disaster information system for resilient communities PAPER SUBMISSION -------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 4 (IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5" x 11", two-column format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. Februar 2014 18:39:08 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing *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 mobiledevices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatilesensors, 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 mobileubiquitous 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.

Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms * Energy efficient cloud computing * Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms * Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols * Energy-efficient MAC protocols * Energy-efficient routing protocols * Green data centers and cloud networking * Voltage and frequency scaled networks * Energy-efficient communication protocols * Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above * Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems * Power consumption profiling and estimation * Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency * Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: --------------------------- You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words. The full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation.

The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. The submission link will be available soon on the website of the workshop: http://iotip2014.hds.utc.fr All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal (http://iot.ieee.org/journal) Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services Series - MARCH 1st 2014

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services Series - MARCH 1st 2014 Datum: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 16:20:21 +0000 Von: Rute Sofia <rute.sofia(a)ULUSOFONA.PT> Antwort an: Rute Sofia <rute.sofia(a)ULUSOFONA.PT> Organisation: COPELABS, ULHT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG /(Apologies for eventual mail duplicates) / URL: http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0914.htm… / */IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services/* /User-centric networks (UCNs)/ are a recent architectural trend of self-organizing, autonomic networks where the Internet end-user cooperates by sharing network services and resources. UCNs are spontaneous and grassroots deployments of wireless architectures (e.g., ad-hoc or infrastructure), often involving low-cost deployment. Furthermore, users in such environments tend to roam frequently. In such roaming environments, users carry equipment that plays an active role in terms of topology changes (e.g., an LTE phone which is sharing Internet access to other surrounding devices, may become active or inactive without operator control). Common to user-centric environments is a social behaviour that heavily impacts network operation from an end-to-end perspective, and on the different layers of the OSI stack. UCNs empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) providing support for better Internet connectivity; iii) allowing the use of communication services even in the absence of reliable Internet access; iv) assisting networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in the end-to-end Internet paradigm, end-user devices will actively participate as a network element in addition to being an endpoint host; ii) network boundaries of trust will need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; and iii) end-user devices should be capable of handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators. There is also the need to further understand wholesale models incorporating UCNs, as well as to understand the impact of UCNs in the context of standardization. This special issue is accepting papers on the topics including, but not limited to, the following: * To promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; * To identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; * To exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):* * Community detection and social interaction * Dynamic trust management models * Cooperation incentive models * Distributed mobility management * Human behavior and mobility prediction * Virtual currency architectures and models * Resource management in spontaneous environments * Cooperative networking * Market impact and analysis of UCN integration * Standardization aspects in regards to UCN topics such as user liability, authentication, and highly efficient WLANs.
