Vielleicht gibt das ja dem einen oder anderen die Möglichkeit, einen Beitrag einzureichen. =========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS =========================================================== Smart Grid: Herausforderungen an Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik INFORMATK 2012 - Was bewegt uns in der Zukunft ? 42. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik 16.9. - 21.9.2012 TU Braunschweig www.informatik2012.de <http://www.informatik2012.de> =========================================================== MOTIVATION UND ZIELSETZUNG =========================================================== Die Energiewende mit dem zunehmenden Umstieg von den klassischen Energieträgern Kohle, Öl, Gas und Nuklearbrennstoff auf erneuerbare Energien wie Windkraft, Solarenergie, Wasserkraft, Biomasse und Wasserstoff mit z.T. stark volatiler Charakteristik stellt grundsätzlich neue Heraus- forderungen an Technik und Management von elektrischen Energienetzen, d.h. an eine intelligente Steuerung der Einspeisung, Verteilung und Nutzung elektrischer Energie einschließlich aller damit verbundenen betrieblichen, ökonomischen und rechtlichen Aspekte. Zur Gestaltung dieses sog. "Smart Grid" ist das interdisziplinäre Zusammenwirken von Energietechnik, Informationstechnik, Informatik, Betriebswirtschaft und Recht erforderlich. Die gegenwärtig vorherrschenden Energiequellen sind durch die Nutzung von fossilen und nuklearen Brennstoffen gekennzeichnet, welche nicht nachhaltig zur Verfügung stehen, zum "CO2-Footprint" klimaschädlich beitragen bzw. durch die ungelösten Aufgaben zur Entsorgung von langlebigen Abfallprodukten gesellschaftlich nicht mehr akzeptabel sind. Sie hatten den Vorteil, dass die Standorte der Erzeugung und des Verbrauchs ohne überlange Transportwege aneinander angepasst, eine stetige Grundlast bereitgestellt und Spitzenlasten durch Gas-, Öl- und Pumpspeicher- Kraftwerke bedarfsgerecht abgedeckt werden konnten. Dem gegenüber erfordern die zeitlich stark schwankend zur Verfügung stehenden Energieträger wie Sonne und Wind eine flexible Anpassung des Verbrauchs sowie Energiespeichertechniken, welche heutzutage technisch nur unbefriedigend und auch nicht im erforderlichen Umfang vorhanden sind. Hieraus resultieren die Anforderungen an die Energienetze der Zukunft, welche weit über die heute angewandten Verfahren hinausgehen und die Bereitstellung, den Transport und die Nutzung der Energie in einem intelligent gesteuerten Netz, dem sog. "Smart Grid", miteinander verbinden. Ziel des Workshops ist insbesondere die Diskussion von Querschnittsfragen zwischen der elektrischen Energietechnik, Steuerungs- und Regelungstechnik, Informationstechnik und Informatik, um Methoden, Konzepte und Erfahrungen für komplexe Systeme kooperativ nutzen zu können bzw. mit neuen Lösungen zur Innovation beizutragen. Der Workshop soll aus eingeladenen Expertenreferaten zu Schlüsselthemen und eingereichten Beiträgen gestaltet werden. =========================================================== THEMENBEREICHE =========================================================== o Monitoring, Datenerfassung und Online-Verarbeitung - Sensorik und Echtzeit-Messverfahren (räumlich, zeitlich, semantisch) - Zustandserfassung - Verbrauschserfassung ("Smart Metering") - Merkmal-Extraktion (Neuronale Netze, Modell-basiert,...) - Datenfusion und Datenaggregation - Daten-Repräsentation - Mess- und Steuerdaten-Bereitstellung (Broadcast, Publish-Subscribe,...) o Kommunikationsarchitekturen und -Protokolle - Modulations- und Codierverfahren (OFDM, LDLC,...) - Übertragungsverfahren (PLC, optisch, elektrisch, drahtlos) - Netzinfrastrukturen (Heimbereich, Unternehmensbereich, Anschlussbereich, Fernnetzbereich) - Echtzeit-Kommunikationsprotokolle - Schnittstellen und Standards (Home Gateway) o Steuerungs- und Regelungsverfahren - Fehlererkennung und -lokalisierung - Alarmerkennung (Expertensysteme, Fuzzy Control, Logische Netze,...) - Ausfallbehandlung, Ersatzschaltung, Resilience - Netzstabilitaet - Hierarchische, zentrale oder dezentrale Netzorganisation - Selbstorganisation - Fremdsteuerung oder regelbasierte Steuerung des Verbrauchs o Sicherheit und Datenschutz - Netzsicherheit und Datensicherheit - Verschlüsselungsverfahren und Schlüsselmanagement - Datenschutz und Nutzerschutz (Privacy) - Vertrauenswürdigkeit (Trust) - Angriffserkennung und -abwehr (Cyber Security) - Katastrophenschutz und -management o Analysen und Performance Evaluation - Messdaten- und Steuerdatenverkehre und ihre Modellierung - Analyse des Echtzeitverhaltens und der Echtzeitfähigkeit - Leistungsfähigkeit (Quality of Service, QoS) - Mathematische Modellierung und Simulation - Modell-gestützte Steuerungsverfahren - Zuverlässigkeitsanalysen - Optimierungsverfahren =========================================================== WICHTIGE TERMINE =========================================================== 28.

Sreenan <cjs(a)cs.ucc.ie> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS ECAI 2012 Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Telecommunications & Sensor Networks Montpellier (France), Aug 27th, 2012 http://www.cs.ucc.ie/waits2012 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP We live in a time of unprecedented change. Traffic on our telecommunication networks has grown exponentially in the last decade. Many of the services and applications that exist now were not even imagined a few years ago. Though we can extrapolate some trends and make educated guesses, we cannot predict exactly what lies ahead. Networks that are designed with change in mind will be more robust to disruption caused by growing demands and changing user patterns and yet-unimagined applications. The risks associated with investment in these kinds of networks will be lower as they will be more durable and scalable. Networks that are designed with change in mind will make effective use of resources (e.g. spectrum, bandwidth, power, processing capabilities, cooling capabilities etc.) and ensure a sustainable future. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and technologists from academia and industry to explore the applications of artificial intelligence to the most pertinent technical challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks. FORMAT Workshop participation will be by invitation only. If you would like to participate, submit either a full paper of no more than 6 pages (or 6,000 words); a position statement, short paper, or problem instance (at most 3 pages or 3,000 words); or a position statement (1 page). Short papers may address an important problem for further research or describe a practical problem or an interesting lesson learned. In addition, we solicit proposals for short demonstrations (at most 3 pages with demonstrations taking at most 15 minutes). All submissions should conform to ECAI’s formatting guidelines, to be available soon on the conference website. SCOPE We especially welcome papers that combine artificial intelligence and telecommunications and sensor networks. Topics of interest in this workshop related to artificial intelligence techniques applied to challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks include but are not limited to the following: o Constraint Optimisation o Metaheuristic Optimisation o Combinatorial Optimisation o Online Stochastic Optimisation o Optimal Stopping Theory for Online Decision-making o Multi-agent Systems o Distributed Optimisation o Configuration systems o Machine Learning and Data Mining o Parameterised Complexity and Graph Theory o Game Theory and Incentive Compatible Mechanism Design o Reasoning with Uncertainty o Knowledge-based Policy Management o Fault Detection and Diagnosis We are also interested in papers that present challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks to which artificial intelligence techniques can be of value, such as: o Network Planning and Optimisation o Network Reliability o Dynamic Wavelength Assignment o Autonomic Networks o Medium Access Control o Frequency Management o Heterogeneous Networks o Cognitive Radio o Cognitive Networks o Sensor Deployment o Dynamic Network Repair o Sensor Networks for Intelligent Environments o Green Telecommunications Networks Important Dates: Submission: May 28, 2012 Notification: June 28, 2012 Final version: July 22, 2012 Workshop: Aug 27, 2012 ORGANISERS Ken Brown Cork Constraint Computation Centre Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: k.brown(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~kb11 Barry O’Sullivan Cork Constraint Computation Centre Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: b.osullivan(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://osullivan.ucc.ie Cormac Sreenan Mobile and Internet Systems Laboratory Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: cjs(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~cjs Program Committee Gianluca Bontempi, Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Luiz Da Silva, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Pierre Flener, Uppsala University, Sweden Anna Foerster, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzterland Justin Pearson, Uppsala University, Sweden Dirk Pesch, Cork institute of Technology, Ireland Helmut Simonis, University College Cork, Ireland <to be completed> This workshop is being run in association with the Science Foundation Ireland-funded CTVR centre - http://www.ctvr.ie _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI on Virtual MIMO
by Lars Wolf 08 May '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI on Virtual MIMO Datum: Tue, 08 May 2012 16:48:04 +0800 Von: Zhou Yi Qing <yqzhou(a)eee.hku.hk> Organisation: EEE, HKU, HK An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Virtual MIMO Multiple antenna (also known as MIMO: multiple input and multiple output) has been widely accepted as a promising scheme to improve the spectrum efficiency of mobile communication systems. MIMO is supported by various international standards such as long term evolution (LTE), WiMAX and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced. Due to the limited size of hand-held mobile stations (MSs), however, no more than two antennas can usually be fit per MS. As a result, implementing conventional MIMO with MSs in practice becomes challenging. On the other hand, multiple single-antenna MSs can be grouped to create a virtual MIMO (VMIMO) system. The system performance can be greatly enhanced by VMIMO because the size of the MIMO channel increases significantly, resulting in more degrees of freedom and improved spatial diversity gain. Moreover, interesting research areas and various challenges arise in VMIMO systems to solve problems that do not appear in MIMO systems. For example, given a large number of MSs and limited processing capability of base stations, a proper subset of the MSs must be chosen to form the VMIMO system; this is also known as user grouping. One of the considerations when carrying out user grouping is fairness. Moreover, in existing cellular systems, information exchange between MSs is difficult. To manage spatial interference at each MS, powerful precoding techniques are needed at base stations, which are crucial to the performance of VMIMO. On the other hand, considering wireless ad-hoc networks and future cellular systems, collaboration among MSs could be possible. As such, it is also interesting to investigate VMIMO with cooperating terminals and security issues arising as a consequence of cooperation. Therefore, VMIMO is a pressing research topic that has a wide range of applications in wireless communication systems, including both cellular and wireless ad hoc networks. It is timely and important to develop enabling techniques for VMIMO. The goal of this issue is to bring together the most updated research contributions in this area and contribute in identifying issues that need to be addressed when analyzing and designing VMIMO systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Capacity analysis of VMIMO * User grouping in VMIMO * Precoding schemes for VMIMO * Pilot signal design for VMIMO * Distributed Coding and Modulation for VMIMO * Signal detection in VMIMO with and without user collaboration * Feedback scheme design in VMIMO * Impact of limited feedback in VMIMO * Impact of limited backhaul in VMIMO * Multiple-terminal synchronization in VMIMO * MAC protocol design for VMIMO * Fairness in VMIMO * Self-optimization and distributed implementation of VMIMO * Security issues of VMIMO Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts following the IEEE J-SAC format described at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://www.edas.info. The timetable is as follows: Manuscript Submission Due: Oct. 1, 2012 First Reviews Due: Feb. 1, 2013 Second Reviews Due and Acceptance Notification: Apr. 1, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: Jun. 1, 2013 Publication: Fourth quarter 2013 Guest Editors: Prof. Yiqing Zhou, zhouyiqing(a)ict.ac.cn, China Prof. Fumiyuki Adachi, adachi(a)ecei.tohoku.ac.jp, Japan Dr. Kai-Kit Wong, k.wong(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk, United Kingdom Prof. Xiang-Gen Xia, xxia(a)ee.udel.edu, USA Prof. Dimitris Toumpakaris, dtouba(a)upatras.gr, Greece Prof. Heidi Steendam, Heidi.Steendam(a)telin.ugent.be, Belgium Prof. Wei-Ping Zhu, weiping(a)ece.condordia.ca, Canada Prof. Lie-Liang Yang, lly(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk, United Kingdom _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

With the continuous advances of technology, WSNs are increasingly being deployed in a myriad of real-life applications. Although many researchers consider WSNs mature enough for real-life applications, important but also conflicting challenges remain as open issues: from the need for accurate and stable sensor nodes (yet keeping size small and energy consumption low) to the demand for deploying reliable and robust applications (yet coping with WSN limited resources). This special issue focuses on deploying real-life WSN applications and corresponding complexity, robustness, and reliability conflicting issues, solutions, guidelines, and future directions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Deploying real-life smart buildings, homes, offices, and classrooms; assistive medicine; structural monitoring; intelligent transportation systems; surveillance; industrial control; precision agriculture; intrusion detection; target tracking; environmental monitoring; emergency response management 2. The challenges of deploying real-life WSN applications 3. Localization/positioning in real-life WSN applications 4. Deploying reliable and robust WSN applications in harsh environments 5. Guidelines for deploying real-life WSN applications 6. Real-life WSN applications and integration to the Internet 7. Experimental evaluation of WSN applications performance 8.
