-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Paper: MiSeNet'14 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2014: Extended deadline: July 27, 2014 Datum: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 01:30:08 +0200 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The Third Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (MiSeNet 2014) In conjunction with IEEE MASS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during October 28-30, 2014. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2014.h… Call for Papers Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 2014 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. MiSeNet 2014 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 2014 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. MiSeNet 2014 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to MiSeNet 2014 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications General Chair - Stephan Olariu (Old Dominion University, USA) Program Chair - Xiuzhen Cheng (The George Washington University, USA) Steering Committee - Tom La Porta (Chair) (Penn State University, USA) - Tarek F.

In addition, governments and standardization organizations have agreed upon a common set of standards (DSRC) specific to vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Combined with the cellular network infrastructure, they pave the way for a plethora of solutions empowered by vehicular communications. Among these solutions we have emergency alerts, autonomous vehicles, infotainment, comfort services, cooperative road sensing and collaborative applications. Also, the integration between smartphones and vehicles has been addressed by many researchers, with a wide range of applications already available, and many more being expected. In terms of communication systems, mobility effects and channel conditions heavily affect the signal quality, introducing path-loss, fading, and received power fluctuations. Under such conditions, several issues remain open including message dissemination in congested environments, Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and adaptive routing, MAC layer enhancements, mobility prediction, efficient handovers, etc. This special issue is seeking for high quality contributions, soliciting high level technical papers addressing the main research challenges in the vehicular networking area. The possible contributions should consist in original theoretical or practical analyses, never published elsewhere, and validated by simulations or real testbeds. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - Wireless vehicular networking - Congestion and admission control in dense vehicular networks - Content distribution in wireless vehicular environments - Smartphone/vehicle integration - Service oriented architectures, service portability, P2P - Cooperative sensing of road conditions - Network and system architectures for mobile vehicular computing - DSRC/WAVE communications. Alternatives to DSRC. - Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. - Cross-layer protocol design - Statistical analysis, prediction and management of vehicular mobility - Multimedia communications in vehicular scenarios - Models, simulators and tools for vehicular environments IMPORTANT DATES: - Manuscript submission deadline: July 31, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: October 30, 2014 - Submission of final revised paper: January 10, 2015 - Publication of special issue (tentative): 3rd Quarter 2015 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format described at the journal site.

Mobile cloud applications move the computing power and data storage away from mobile phones and into the cloud, bringing applications and mobile computing not only to smartphone users but also to a much broader range of mobile subscribers. Cloud computing has emerged as the leading paradigm for cost efficient and reliable service provisioning. Today, the rich availability of energy-harvesting and resource-constrained mobile computing devices is beginning to converge with the great opportunity offered by the powerful cloud computing services hosted by virtualized data center resources. Although mobile applications, cloud computing, and data center networking techniques have been intensively investigated in the past couple of years, mobile cloud computing and mobile cloud networking have not raised the attention of the research community until recently. This Feature Topic precisely addresses recent advances in this aspect. Solicited topics include (but are not limited to): Mobile cloud computing architectures, protocols and services Energy efficiency in mobile cloud computing and networking Energy management for mobile devices in mobile cloud computing Resource and service management, scheduling, and migration in mobile cloud computing Mobile cloud applications and service models Mobile traffic characterization and measurements Transport and higher layers in mobile cloud computing Storage as Service in Mobile Cloud Computing Security, Privacy, access control Network on the fly, virtual control, virtual radio, isolation Virtualization of mobile devices and mobile network infrastructures Unified user and device mobility management Quality of Experience and Service Level Agreements Discovery of mobile cloud computing services, data and other resources Situation-/Context-aware networking for mobile cloud computing Exploring social networks and user collaboration for mobile cloud computing Location-based mobile cloud applications and service models Virtualization techniques for mobile cloud computing and services Security, privacy and virus/malware issues in mobile cloud computing Mobile cloud enabled Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solutions Personal cloud, ad hoc cloud, distributed cloud computing and service models Cloudlets, mobile cloud sensing and crowdsourcing Submission Guidelines: Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE '15) Datum: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:39:22 +0200 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy March 12, 2015 in conjunction with NetSys 2015, Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================= MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage. The scope of the workshop includes contributions that address the integration of energy metering equipment from different manufacturers into a single middleware system which operates on a building level, as well as novel means to collect, process and visualize these data. Accepted papers will not only present novel research results in these domains, but also comprise an evaluation in which their merits are assessed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel energy metering hardware designs and experiences - Data collection and command distribution protocols for energy management systems - Middleware systems for energy data, including novel local data processing algorithms - Control of alternative energy sources to increase their production efficiency - Innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production - Sensing and actuation of electrical loads - Privacy and security in energy management middleware systems - User interfaces for energy display, management and control PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE two-column format. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. More details about the ubmission process can be found on the website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: Sep. 26th, 2014 Notification: Nov. 17th, 2014 Camera Ready: Dec. 10th, 2014 Workshop: Mar. 12th, 2015 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Matteo Ceriotti, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Alexander De Luca, LMU München, Germany Paul Dunphy, Newcastle University, UK Wilfried Elmenreich, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria Stefan Fischer, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Hannes Frey, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Marco Ortolani, University of Palermo, Italy Oliver Parson, University of Southampton, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Christian Steger, TU Graz, Austria Volker Turau, TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany Sebastian Zöller, TU Darmstadt, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
