August 2014 04:18:29 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CARTOON 2014: FINAL Deadline Extension - August 3, 2014 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: *FINAL* Submission Deadline: August 3 (23:59 EDT) 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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 1. August 2014 08:12:23 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Elsevier PMC Journal [IF=1.629] SI on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks" -- Deadline 31 Aug 2014 Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-pa… AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- Wireless sensor nodes in traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) use fixed spectrum assignment policy and their performance is limited due to limited processing and communication power. In addition, these wireless sensor nodes require high bandwidth and their QoS requirements are application specific. Wireless sensor nodes with cognitive radio capabilities (i.e., Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs)), can help to address these challenges. However, there are several challenges and research problems which are needed to be addressed in CRSNs. In fact, cognitive radio sensor network evolved from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to optimize the bandwidth and Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of wireless sensor nodes. Furthermore, CRSNs improve the spectrum utilization, and multiple overlaid sensor networks can be deployed in a specific region. But due to inherent hardware and energy limitation of sensor nodes, the realization of incorporating CR capability in sensor nodes imposes challenges. On top of that, CRSN nodes must handle additional challenges incurred by CR functionalities such as spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, and spectrum management. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the domain of Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs). The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Spectrum sensing techniques for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) - Spectrum management for CRSNs - MAC protocols for CRSNs - Innovative and cross-layer middleware solutions for CRSNs - Applications of CRSNs (smart grids, vehicular networks, etc) - Delay-sensitive and multimedia communication in CRSNs - Simulation models for CRSNs - Energy efficiency in CRSNs - CRSN architecture: peculiar features and evolution - Deployment strategies of CRSNs - Wireless Body Area Networks in the context of CRSNs - Layers in CRSNs (physical, datalink, network, transport, application) - Developments, issues, and open areas - Coverage and Connectivity of CRSNs - Resource Management in CRSNs - CRSN integration with traditional networking solutions and standards - Future perspective for CRSNs IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------ Manuscript due: 31 Aug 2014 Acceptance notification: Jan 2015 Revised paper due: Mar 2015 Final manuscript due: May 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/. Authors should select “SI: CRSNs”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
