Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. April 2014 19:18:56 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to April 30- CFP: COMCOM special issue on mobile social sensing *Call for Papers:* *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: April 30, 2014 (extended) First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative).

The conference scope includes all areas of computer networks and network protocols. Topics of interests include but are not limited to: *Network protocol design, specification, verification, and analysis *Software defined networking *Network protocol implementation, testing, and measurement *Network management *Protocols for specific applications *Traffic engineering *Network architectures and high performance algorithms *Network virtualization *Measurement, simulation, and modeling of operational networks *Multicast, broadcast, and anycast *Fault-tolerance, survivability, and troubleshooting of networking systems *Network security and privacy *Peer to peer, overlay, and content distribution networks *Cross-layer design and optimization *Resource allocation, management, Quality of Service *Enterprise networks *Wireless, RFID, mobile, ad-hoc, vehicular, and sensor networks *Cloud computing *Operating system and host support for networking *Information centric networking *Networking issues for emerging applications *Energy aware networking *Routing, switching, and addressing *Online social networks *Datacenter and storage area networks *Network economics This year, ICNP solicits two types of papers: regular papers of at most 12 pages each, and concise papers of at most 6 pages each. A regular paper describes an important research project that has been completed, whereas a concise paper describes a significant contribution in a research project that may still be in progress. Thus, the completed version of any concise paper can be submitted and published in another venue at a later year. Regular papers and concise papers will have different submission and notification deadlines and they will be reviewed by different sets of TPC members. Submission policy for both regular and concise papers: 1. All papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer conference paper format (IEEEtran.cls) and the font size should be no smaller than 10 pt. 2. ICNP uses a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity; acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review. Note that double-blind violations are sometimes not discovered until well into the review process, so authors are strongly advised to heed the above requirements at submission time. 3. Authors need to indicate in their submissions all TPC members with whom they have conflicts of interest. An author and a TPC member have a conflict of interest if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) They are currently employed at the same institution, or they have been employed at the same institution within the last 12 months, or they are going to be employment at the same institution within the next 6 months. (2) The author and the TPC member had an advisor-advisee relationship. (3) The author and the TPC member have collaborated on a project, a publication, or a grant proposal within the past 4 years. (4) The author and the TPC member have family relationship or are close personal friend. Authors should not improperly identify TPC members as conflicts to avoid individuals who might review their papers. 4. At least one author of an accepted paper, whether regular or concise, is expected to register at the full rate of the conference and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE digital library. Papers not presented by an author at the conference will not appear in the IEEE digital library. Integrity policy for both regular and concise papers: ICNP strictly enforces the following integrity policies. Authors violating these policies will cause their submissions to be rejected without review. Furthermore, ICNP may take action against individuals who have engaged in such violation; example actions include, but are not limited to, contacting the institutions of the authors and publicizing the details of the case. 1. Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. 2. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT'14 Datum: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 11:37:12 -0400 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers The ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT conference travels to another continent to complete its first decade as one of the major forums for presentations and discussions of novel computing technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The goal of the conference is to foster technical interactions among members of computer and communication networks research at large through a single track program promoting their most promising works. This new installment of the conference is proudly committed to the three values that made the conference successful for nearly ten years: Recognizing farsighted excellence, by selectively choosing papers with substantial novelty and research contribution. Promoting a broad definition of networking research, by welcoming submissions based on implementation and experimentation as well as theoretical analysis. Assuring authors of submitted papers a fair and thorough review process, with sound and detailed feedback guaranteed to each submissions in proportion of its scientific merit and potential. Scope The Program Committee of ACM CoNEXT seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer and communication networks. We especially encour- age submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies and new insights made possible using analysis or computing concepts rarely found among networking researchers. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking research including : Networking aspects of mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures Network control and management, including datacenter, enterprise and SDN Security and privacy aspects of computer networks and protocols Theory and performance analysis of networking architectures and applications Novel application of other fields to computer networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends and potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We invite the authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. These should be clearly substantiated and explained. Submission Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page. The committee encourages substantiated results with a succinct presentation. All papers will be part of a single track. More details will be provided on the format of the papers closer to the submission date. The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program committee members. This year, in an effort to inform judgment on the selection of presented papers, the PC will organize a rolling early feedback phase. During that time, and before review are completed, PC members are able to request authors for clarifications, typically on assumptions made and results obtained. Authors of submitted papers who receive such a request have the non mandatory option to answer that request within a week. We encourage this interaction espe- cially to give a chance to a minority of ”controversial” papers that could be of special interest to our community, but raises important concerns that need to be addressed. Publication The proceedings of the conference will be published by the ACM.

I hope that you find it interesting. Download CFP: http://urbaniot.org/2014/media/uploads/Urb-IoT-2014.CFP.pdf ============== Call for Papers ============== 1st International Conference on IoT in Urban Space (Urb-IoT 2014) October 27-28 <http://airmail.calendar/2014-10-27%2012:00:00%20GMT+1>, Rome, Italy. http://www.urbaniot.org <http://www.urbaniot.org/> Scope ===== Urban spaces are the man made microcosms where a number of entities interact with each other to offer citizens a variety of services, for instance, buildings and infrastructure, transportation, utility, public safety, healthcare, education. The interplay between this multitude of connecting entities creates a complex system with dynamic human, material, and digital flows. By 2050 the world’s urban population is expected to grow by 72%. This steep growth creates an unprecedented urge for understanding cities to enable planning for the future societal, economical and environmental well being of their citizens. The increasing deployments of Internet of Thing (IoT) technologies and the rise of so-called “Sensored Cities” are opening up new avenues of research opportunities towards that future. Although, there have been a number of deployment of diverse IoT systems in the urban space, our understanding of these systems and their implications has just scratched the surface. Urb-IoT 2014 is a new conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities. The goal of the conference is to solicit original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, designers, researchers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry. Bringing together practitioners and researchers to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, Urb-IoT 2014 seeks multi-disciplinary contributions in the area of Citizen Awareness and Engagement: Methods and studies for citizen involvement through participatory sensing or crowd-sourcing for urban tasks, as well as behavioural change of the citizen through awareness. Urban Analytics: Understanding the massive digital traces created by IoT in the urban landscape through big data analytics. IoT Applications and Services in Urban Context: Urban technologies and applications that challenge the state of the art and benefit citizens, decision and policy makers, and urban planners. Topics ====== Topics are themed by urban space and include, but are not limited to: Monitoring the pulse of the city Fusion of heterogeneous urban sources Understanding urban data using machine learning and mining techniques Visual analytics of urban data City as a platform Participatory and crowd sourcing techniques Incentification and gamification Citizen and crowd influence and behavioural change Data-driven urban planning and design Crowd behaviour capturing and modelling Urban mobility and intelligent transportation systems Smart cities Real time urban information systems Context awareness in urban systems Privacy and data protection Submissions =========== All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee with the appropriate expertise. At least two members of the Program Committee and a set of external expert reviewers will review submitted papers. At a PC meeting, the committee will select the papers to be presented at Urb-IoT 2014. Research contributions will be selected on the basis of novelty, technical merit, and a clear presentation. Submissions must clearly articulate how they relate to solve a particular problem in the scope of urban spaces. Contributions describing the role of IoT in understanding urban dynamics as well as real world systems in sensing and interpreting city scale signal are particularly of interest. Submitted papers for review must not exceed six (6) pages and should be in PDF and formatted in the ACM Double Column format. Urb-IoT 2014 adopts a double-blind process for submitted contributions. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the submission. Detailed format and submission instructions including style templates for MS Word and LaTex are provided at the conference website.
