Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: PerEnergy 2016 -- DEADLINE EXTENDED until Dec. 4 Datum: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 16:05:05 +0100 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Second IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy 2016) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2016 Extended Submission Deadline: December 4, 2015 March 14-18, 2016, Sydney, Australia http://perenergy2016.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Submissions must be made via EDAS: https://edas.info/N21115 ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serves as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data such that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations of recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and future development of smart energy management systems.
