-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Access Journal --Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks Datum: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 19:44:11 +0800 Von: Kan Zheng <zkan(a)BUPT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Kan Zheng <zkan(a)BUPT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access on Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks Submission Deadline: Nov 1, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/communication-control-computati… IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks. The automotive industry has recently shifted from developing advanced vehicles to concentrating on safety and comfort; which stimulates the development of new intelligent vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems and even autonomous driving. However, the current technology development is still far from the practical requirements of autonomous driving. This is because the existing control approaches are mainly based on expensive sensors and cameras employed in the vehicle that hinder the development and popularization of intelligent vehicles. Thanks to wireless communication networks, vehicles can be connected and communicate to each other. Thus, the control of vehicles will become more reliable and cost-efficient with the communication between vehicles. Therefore, cooperatively controlling vehicles by employing reliable communications has become one of key research issues in the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication networks. Due to the high mobility of vehicles and the dynamic change of the network topology, it is difficult to provide satisfied services only through a single wireless access network, such as the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) or the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Hence, to provide ubiquitous networks, Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks may well support the communication, control and computation requirements of intelligent vehicles. However it faces multiple critical challenges in designing efficient and flexible resource allocation algorithms since this requires the joint design and optimization of both communication, computing and control theory. This will play a very important role in the development of next generation intelligent vehicular networks. The goal of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to provide the most recent research and developments on the enabling technologies for heterogeneous vehicular networks and to stimulate discussions on state-of-the-art and innovative aspects in the field. This Special Section focuses on advanced communication and control techniques for intelligent vehicles. Original research and review articles are encouraged. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): --Heterogeneous vehicular network architectures and services --Performance evaluation of radio technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Control protocol design in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Autonomous driving control technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Resource allocation and control in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Vehicle social networks in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Mobile cloud computing in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Software-Defined Networking(SDN) for supporting reliable control --Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Efficient Big Data analysis in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Mobile sensing networking in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Dynamic spectrum access technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Urban sensing for environment monitoring in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Security, privacy and trust in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Testbed platform ! and field trials in heterogeneous vehicular networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP - JSAC Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies in Software-driven Communication" Datum: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 09:55:44 +0200 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers -------------------- IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) - Special Issue on Emerging Technologies in Software-driven Communication Scope --------- Computer networks fundamentally changed the way we communicate and interact with each other. In fact, they now form the backbone of our modern societies. While early networks were merely a mechanism for exchanging data between end-hosts, current computer and telecommunication networks are way more than that. Compared to the early days of the networking not only the hardware of networks has changed fundamentally, but with it also the software deployed to control and manage these networks. To reduce the significant management cost of large networks, automated management, including autonomic computing and communications evolved. In addition, one fairly recent trend with strong impact on the network architecture was the emergence of cloud computing, with the promise of inherent scalability, availability, and better resource utilization. This led to a centralization of (virtual) network functions in data centers with clear cost benefits, but at the same time introducing new limitations. To address these limitations, some intelligence of the control plane is being shifted from the inner network nodes and data centers to the edge of the network, which is then referred to as edge or fog computing. At the same time, the network control logic moved from lower into higher layers, i.e., from hardware into software. This special issue will address these developments and the technical challenges they present, thereby putting a spotlight on the technology areas covered by 3 of ComSoc’s Emerging Technology Sub-Technical Committees, namely issues in Autonomic Communication, Software-Defined Networks (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), as well as Cloud Communications and Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following categories: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Autonomic communication - Self-management of networks, in particular of SDNs and VNF - Automatic testing, integration, and deployment of (Virtual) Network Functions - Self-optimization based on network Big Data - Autonomic Operation and Business support systems - Autonomic and distributed security functions SDN and NFV - Operational results on studies related to SDN/NFV - Novel applications and services, including security services, using SDN/NFV - Software-based architectures for access networks - SDN-based architectures and platforms for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) - SDN/NFV enabling next generation networks, e.g., 5G - Traffic engineering and QoS/QoE in SDNs/NFVs Cloud communication and networking - Mobile cloud architectures & models - Distributed cloud, edge-cloud, mobile edge-cloud, fog computing, all supporting low latency services - Emerging services and analytics for cloud communication - Public/private cloud networking for SDN/NFV support - Security mechanisms in/for large and distributed cloud environments Submission guidelines -------------------------------- Only papers submitted that are in accordance with the general submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) will be considered (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review). We are looking for one broad tutorial paper in each of the three sub-areas plus several focused papers per area addressing specific research challenges. Thus, two types of papers can be submitted: - Normal paper of at maximum 8 pages IEEE double column style - Tutorial paper of at maximum 10 pages IEEE double column style Per category, up to two pages can be added with over-length charges of $220 per over-length page. Upon request, a paper can be made open access for an additional fee of 1750$. All papers must be submitted through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info). Schedule ------------- - Full paper submission deadline: April 1, 2017 - Author notification: August 1, 2017 - Camera-ready version due: September 15, 2017 - Expected publication: November 2017 Guest editors -------------------- - Marcus Brunner, Swisscom - Ashutosh Dutta, AT&T Labs - Mathias Fischer, University Hamburg - Toktam Mahmoodi, Kings College London For further information, please email mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 2. Oktober 2016 10:29:24 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (Impact Factor=4.7) -- Special Section on "Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Resources: Information and Communication Technologies with Industry Perspective" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. "Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Resources: Information and Communication Technologies with Industry Perspective" Submission Deadline: Dec 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ THE THEME ---------------- The naturally replenished inexhaustible energy that exists all around us in the ambient environment is often referred as renewable energy. Though this type of energy can be present in any form, it can only be converted into electrical energy through appropriate hardware. The potential renewable energy resources include light, wind, vibration, heat, biofuel, biomass, and tides. It is envisaged that the use of renewable energy will reduce the use of primary energy in future and this trend will continue in order to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases. The abundance of these renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) at consumer side may help to develop distributed renewable energy generation at a large scale. The DERs will likely be an integral part of the future electric grid i.e., the smart grid. A prominent feature of the smart grid is that it allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers through information and communication technologies! (ICTs). In this special section, we seek new and unpublished work in the domain of information and communication technologies with an industry perspective in the domain of Smart Grid systems with emphasis on the integration of renewable energy resources. More specifically, this special section will focus on recent developments in the smart grid and its integration with renewable energy resources. TOPICS ----------- The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Integration of renewable energy resources (RERs) with smart grid (SG) - Information and communication technologies supporting smart grid with RERs - Industry perspective on smart grid with RERs - Communication architectures and networking protocols for SG with RERs - Standardization activities for SG with RERs - Security and privacy issues for SG with RERs - Future perspective on SG with RERs - Resource management in SG with RERs - Delay sensitive and multimedia communication in SG with RERs - Optimization methods for distributed energy management systems - Electric vehicles as grid energy storage - Integration of solar energy into smart grids - Spatial load forecasting for micro-grids and virtual power plants - Energy load and prize forecasting in SG with RERs - Energy forwarding networks in SG with RERs - Energy storage and off-grid energy storage techniques - Case studies on integration of green computing with SG with RERs MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/.
