Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models. Experiences from deployments and case studies related to the aforementioned subject areas are particularly welcome. The Call for Papers covers (but is not limited to) the areas of: Places of Living and Work * Multimedia pervasive computing for smart environments * E-Health services in smart environments * Smart applications for special user groups (e.g. people with disabilities) * Personalized, transformable urban housing and farming * Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work * Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Mobility Networks: * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of cooperative applications and services, vehicular networking for smart transportation * Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines * Technologies and services for new urban vehicles such as electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. * Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces * Technologies for shared-use vehicle systems * Electronic parking systems Electronic and Social Networks: * New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems * Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities * Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces * The development of exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially acceptable services Urban Analysis and Modeling: * Data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities * Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) * Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities * Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technologies for cities Paper Submission: ------------------------ Authors are invited to submit, via the EDAS system, full papers written in English, with a paper length of 6 printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (overlength are allowed at an extra cost).

With rapid advances in computing and associated technologies, we are seeing slow, steady and seamless integrations of communications, networking, hardware miniaturization, sensing, cryptographic and a range of algorithmic advances for smarter health care. At the forefront of challenges in emergent smarter health care systems is how to manage ‘Big-data’ arising from today’s computing technologies. Sources of such Big-data are numerous including the Internet, Smart-phones, Embedded sensors in large numbers deployed for a variety of applications and so on. Unfortunately though, empowering the utility of Big-data today is challenging considering its heterogeneity, multi-dimensionality, volume and speed of da! ta generated. In the realm of health-care, while there are clear opportunities to leverage Big-data emanating from today’s computing technologies, additional challenges include providing information security, patient privacy, meeting real-time guarantees, information fusion, system sustainability among others. Although research in the domain of Big-Data analytics for smarter-health is attracting attention across disciplines, several applications, opportunities, challenges, models and technologies are yet to be explored and investigated. The special issue encourages submissions of high-quality unpublished papers reporting original work in both theoretical and experimental research in the area of Big-data analytics applied to smarter health care. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: • ‘Big-Data’ Models and Architectures for smarter health care • Data Integration and Information Fusion for smarter health care • Security, Trust and Privacy in smarter health-care • Predictive modeling for improving health care • Novel ‘Big-Data’ analysis techniques with applications to smarter-health • Personalized and Patient Centric Heath-care • Networking and Communication architectures • Advanced sensing models including body sensors • Energy management issues in smarter health • Real-time protocols for smarter health care • Visualization, Personalized medicine and other Human factors in smarter health Important Dates Submission deadline: Nov 1, 2014 Initial feedback to authors: Feb 1, 2015 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: Fall 2015 Submission Guidelines All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed nodes with limited resources that can cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions at different locations. Each node is capable of computation, sensing, and communication. Challenges may be exacerbated by the presence of mobile nodes in the network. Such networks may consist of independent and isolated fixed devices that gather environmental data, which may be embedded in urban environments in order to facilitate actuation over managed resources, or may be fixed to and move with the object of interest. Ad hoc networks may exist in environments where there is no pre-existing communications infrastructure, and thereby organize to create their own. Ad hoc networks have been attracting great attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applicati! ons like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. As we move towards a world that connects all things, these issues become ever more relevant. Dynamic topologies, bandwidth constraints, energy constrained operations, wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multi-hop networks. This symposium aims to provide a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” (Deadline Aug 1) Datum: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 08:50:58 +0000 Von: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” This feature topic will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications. In particular for wireless sensor networks, because of its ultra-low-power operation, such small, wireless, autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power which is scavenged in milli-watts or even micro-watts. If these wireless sensors, which spread throughout a home or factories, in-buildings or even outdoor to monitor all kind of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace and no labour costs associated with replacing them, in other words, self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the ﬂuctuating availability of energy sources. For an overview of the state-of-the-art in energy harvesting communications design, and for a relevant example of an IEEE Communications Magazine article's style and content, please refer to "Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting Communications Systems" by D. Gunduz, K. Stamatiou, N. Michelusi, and M. Zorzi, in IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 210-216, Jan 2014. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply, and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grid allows further efﬁcient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this feature topic is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has signiﬁcant beneﬁts to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This feature topic will focus on energy harvesting related issues in communications. It will also present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the emerging area of energy harvesting communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve a practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. This feature topic solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Energy harvesting base station, access point, and relay; · Energy-efﬁcient and energy harvesting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; · Low-power and energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Characterization of light, thermal, wind, motion, and RF energy harvesting; · Communication protocols for wireless charging networks and systems; · Energy harvesting storage and recycling; · Software-deﬁned networking for energy harvesting communications; · Sustainable network architectures using energy harvesting; · Theoretic approaches and design methodologies; · Testbed and experimental validation; · Energy harvesting for rare events sensing; · Event-powered energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Energy harvesting for industrial and intelligent systems; · Standardization of energy harvesting communications. Note that articles on green communications that do not directly address energy harvesting will be considered out of scope for this feature topic. Please consider directing such articles to the "Green Communications and Computing Networks" Series of IEEE Communications Magazine. Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ICNC 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS - Submission deadline July 31, 2014 Datum: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 02:42:37 -0400 Von: info(a)conf-icnc.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de SPAN 2015 The Second International Workshop on Sensor, Peer-to-peer and SociAl Networks, ICNC 2015 In conjunction with The 2015 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC 2015), Anaheim, CA, USA, February 16-19, 2015 Workshop Date: Monday, February 16th, 2015 URL: http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/ Workshop Paper Submission Link: http://edas.info/N18165 I. Workshop Scope SPAN 2015 aims to attract attention from the research community to the interplay of algorithmic tools and techniques in the collective fields of Sensor, P2P and Social Networks. Smart, wireless, networked sensors will soon be all around us, collectively processing vast amounts of previously unrecorded data to help run factories, optimize farming, monitor the weather and myriad other applications. It is clear that wireless sensor networks will become as important as the Internet, capable of routing application-specific data across a wireless mesh, ad hoc peer-to-peer network in which they organize themselves and assist each other in transmitting data. These advances made in the area of sensor networks will naturally have a profound impact on our understanding and operation of traditional Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems which are widely used in today's Internet. The confluence of ideas driving sensor and P2P systems is expected to be intensified by social networks. By attracting more than h alf a billion users worldwide, social networks provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, as time evolves, P2P and future sensor network applications will necessarily need to involve social information to enhance the users experience. SPAN 2015, aptly named for its goal, is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers working on the intersection of Sensor, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Social Networks to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and SPANning the evolution of this combined body of knowledge. All submissions enabling cross-pollination of ideas on P2P, Sensor and Social Networks related to design, simulation, security, analysis and measurement are welcome. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work in early stages. Topics revolve around the interplay of algorithms, tools and techniques applicable in sensor, p2p and social networks and include, but are not limited to: - Social network analysis techniques applied to P2P, Sensor and distributed computing systems - Socially informed Sensor/P2P infrastructures - Social Network-inspired systems and designs for P2P and Sensor - P2P and Sensor Network-based social networking architectures - Socially Aware Sensor/P2P Overlay architectures and topologies - Evolution of P2P and social communities and systems - Reputation, incentives, and economics in P2P/Sensor/Social systems - Mobile P2P and social networking systems - User behavior analysis and modeling in Social Networks and applications to P2P and Sensor networks - Decentralized Social Networks Applications - Graph theoretic analysis of Sensor, P2P and Social networks - Security, privacy and anonymity issues in SPAN - Policy enforcement, participation incentives, trust, and reputation - Cooperation, incentives, and fairness in SPAN. - P2P, sensor and social network economics Papers accepted for the SPAN 2015 workshop will be, after being presented onsite at the workshop, included in the proceedings to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore and indexing by EI Compendex.

Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo M. Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA October 27, 2014 Co-located with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2014 http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/cartoon/index.html ================================================================================ Important Dates: *NEW* Submission Deadline: July 31 Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2014 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed/unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.
