-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications - ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS NETWORKS: SCALABILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY Datum: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 02:48:59 +0000 Von: Liushucheng (Will) <liushucheng(a)HUAWEI.COM> Antwort an: Liushucheng (Will) <liushucheng(a)HUAWEI.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Wireless Communications - ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS NETWORKS: SCALABILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/cfp/architecture-next-generation-wireless… CALL FOR PAPERS Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: * Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) * Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates * Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements * Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access * Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks * Interoperability among diverse wireless networks * Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks * Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network * Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability * Scalable cooperative communications and network coding * Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture * Scalable energy efficiency wireless network * Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture * Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks * Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communicationsguidelines regarding manuscript content and format. For details, please refer to the "Author Guidelines" at the IEEE Wireless Communications Web site athttp://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/author-guidelines. All papers must be submitted electronically via the IEEE Wireless Communications manuscript submission system athttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm. All papers will be reviewed by at least three (3) reviewers for their technical merit, scope, and relevance to the CFP.

IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, transportation and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IPSN 2016 demo/poster announcement Datum: Sun, 10 Jan 2016 17:12:42 +0800 Von: Yanmin Zhu <yzhu(a)SJTU.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yanmin Zhu <yzhu(a)SJTU.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2016) draws upon many disciplines including networking, signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases, information management, distributed algorithms, embedded systems, wireless communications, and machine learning. In addition to full-length technical papers, IPSN welcomes exciting demonstrations of novel sensor network technology, applications, and hardware as well as posters showing promising early work. IPSN seeks participation from both industry and academia for demonstrations and posters. Selection of demonstration and posters will be based on a short abstract, evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference. Accepted abstracts will appear in the regular conference proceedings. At least one author of every accepted demonstration or poster abstract is required to register and attend the conference. ________________________________ Posters Poster abstracts should report on research work where at least some preliminary results are available, but they need not necessarily describe completed work. An easel will be provided for all posters. If you have any questions, please contact the poster co-chairs: Lu Su (SUNY Buffalo) and Tian He (University of Minnesota) ________________________________ Demos Demo abstracts should describe both the technology being showcased as well as the user experience of the demo. Tables, power, and wireless connectivity will be provided. If a demo requires additional special arrangements, please describe them clearly in your submission using a separate third page (not part of the technical content of the abstract). The authors of the accepted demos will be invited to submit an optional short video together with the camera-ready version of the abstract. The videos will be linked from the conference program on the IPSN 2015 home page. If you have any questions, please contact the demo co-chairs: Xiaofan (Fred) Jiang (Columbia University) and Thiemo Voigt (Uppsala University and SICS, Sweden) ________________________________ Formatting Guideline Poster and demonstration abstracts should be submitted as PDF files and be formatted using ACM SIG Proceedings Tighter Alternate Style. Poster and demonstration abstracts are at most 2 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Poster abstracts should follow the same format but should include a thumbnail of the planned poster as a third page. If a demonstration requires special arrangements, please describe them clearly in your submission using a separate third page. (This third page is not part of the technical content of the abstract and can be formatted at discretion of the authors). Abstracts need not be anonymous. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible even for the initial abstract submission. ________________________________ Important Dates Poster and Demo Submission: February 7, 2016 (11.59 PM, US PDT) Notification of Acceptance: February 12, 2016 Camera-Ready Abstracts Due: February 25, 2016 ________________________________ Poster/Demo Submissions http://ipsn.acm.org/2016/posters.html?v=1 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition - Call for Contesters Datum: Sun, 10 Jan 2016 17:15:56 +0800 Von: Yanmin Zhu <yzhu(a)SJTU.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yanmin Zhu <yzhu(a)SJTU.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call For Contesters ======================================================================= 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition *Registration Deadline: January 20th, 2016* April 10-11, 2016 Vienna, Austria Co-located with IPSN 2016 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/msindoorloccompetition2016/defaul t.aspx ======================================================================= ELIGIBILITY Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All location techniques, such as ranging, fingerprinting, infrastructure, or device free, are welcome, except those that require end users' manual measurements. Contesters can deploy their own infrastructure of *up to 5 devices*. Normal RF interference is expected, but no jammers from other deployments are allowed. The results must be shown on a portable device, such as a phone or a tablet/laptop that a person can easily carry around. Demo submissions that do not meet one or more of the guidelines above will be included in the poster session and will be evaluated as a regular submission, but they will not be considered for prizes. The competition will take place if *at least 5 teams* respond to this preliminary call for competition. CATEGORIES Depending on the nature and number of submissions multiple categories might be defined based on the accuracy (i.e., point-based vs. area based), the size, the cost, or the type (i.e., software vs. hardware) of the proposed solution. Given our past experience, this year we expect to have the following categories (note that these categories have not been finalized. The final categories will be announced shortly after the registration deadline and they will depend on the number and type of submissions received): 1. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category should be able to work with unmodified commercial off-the-shelf devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets. In this category, the unmodified COTS device is localized. Teams in this category will not be allowed to interface any custom hardware to the COTS devices (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Only changes to the software of the devices will be allowed. Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. 2. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies with Initialization: Submissions in this category should meet all the criteria of the COTS Technologies category, with the additional requirement to initialize the location of the COTS device being localized to a ground truth location before the evaluation. 3. Modified Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category could interface custom hardware to the COTS devices to be localized (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. Most, if not all, submissions in this category are expected to be infrastructure-based. For instance: * WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also leverage inertial sensors will be classified as infrastructure-free COTS Technologies as they do not require to interface any custom hardware to the COTS device being localized. * WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also deploy custom BLE beacons in the evaluation area will be classified as infrastructure-based COTS Technologies as they don't modify the COTS device being localized, but they require the deployment of custom hardware. * Approaches based on inertial sensing that require to be initialized to a ground truth location before being evaluated will be classified as COTS Technologies with Initialization. * UWB approaches will be classified as infrastructure-based modified COTS Technologies as they require modifications to the COTS device being localized, and they need to deploy custom hardware in the evaluation area. In the past, teams were asked to report 2D locations (X,Y). In this year's competition, teams will be required to report 3D locations (X,Y,Z). The evaluation area we have reserved, even though it does not contain multiple floors, it includes locations with different elevation characteristics. On top of that, we plan to place the devices to be localized at different heights during the competition to evaluate the 3D localization accuracy of each team. *Not all teams will have to report 3D locations*. We understand that some technologies are not suited for 3D localization (i.e., WiFi/geo-magnetic fingerprinting, dead reckoning, BLE-based etc.), but they are still excellent candidates for commercial indoor location systems. With this in mind, the organizers will determine shortly after the registration deadline which teams will be classified as 3D localization teams. It is not up to the individual teams to decide if they will report 2D or 3D locations. The organizers will ensure that all the teams in a given category will either report 2D or 3D locations. There will be no categories containing both 2D and 3D localization teams. EVALUATION AND PRIZE Results are judged based on accuracy, and an award will be given to the top 3 teams in each category. When accuracy ties, infrastructure requirements will be used for tie breaking. The winning teams in each category will be invited to present their approach at the conference, and receive a cash award. The exact accuracy metrics that will be used during evaluation will be announced shortly before the competition takes place. POSTER SESSION A poster session dedicated to all competition participants will be organized during the conference. Participants will have the opportunity to explain their system to conference attendees. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Contesters must submit an abstract describing their approach and deployment requirements by the contest registration deadline. Submissions are treated as confidential until the competition. Submissions must be at most two (2) single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references. Submission should follow the exact same format as regular, full IPSN 2016 papers. *Abstracts should include the names and affiliations of all authors*. Templates can be found here: <http://ipsn.acm.org/2016/submission.html?v=1> http://ipsn.acm.org/2016/submission.html?v=1 REGISTRATION DEADLINE January 20th, 2016, 11:59 pm EST To register for the competition, please email your abstract to <mailto:dlymper@microsoft.com> dlymper(a)microsoft.com with the following subject line: 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition Submission. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
