-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:36:58 +0100 Von: George Pavlou <g.pavlou(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> Antwort an: admmyc(a)gmail.com An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKING Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general, and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content providers, and above all end-users. Scope and Objectives Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with respect to information-centric networks: * Naming & addressing: What breakthroughs in naming and addressing will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of devices and zettabytes of available content? * Protocol stack: Can ICN deliver a neat and simple protocol stack? * Network architecture: What does a ICN network architecture look like? * Management: What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? * Caching: New issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. * Energy efficiency: Will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? * Internet of Things (IoT): How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? * Security: Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? * Which business models could foster a fair relationship between content producers, content providers and service/network providers? Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals. Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Authors can find article guidelines at http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag0712.htm. Submission Schedule * Submission Deadline: November 1, 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: February 29, 2012 * Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2012 * Publication Date: July 2012 Feature Topic Editors Dr. Kostas Pentikousis Huawei Technologies European Research Centre Email: k.pentikousis(a)huawei.com Dr. Prosper Chemouil Orange Labs Email: prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com Dr. Kathleen Nichols Pollere Inc Email: nichols(a)pollere.net Prof. George Pavlou University College London, Dept. of Electronic & Electrical Engineering Email: g.pavlou(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk Prof. Dan Massey Colorado State University Email: massey(a)cs.colostate.edu _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br http://mailman.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012)
by Lars Wolf 15 Sep '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:49:56 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================================= Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =================================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: · Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks · Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks · Resource management for machine and robotic networks · Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing · Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks · Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks · Cognitive machine and robotic networks · Bio-inspired networking in robotics · Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots · Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEENetwork, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later. In the mean time, you may contact the guest editors. · Paper submissions: October 15, 2011 · Notifications to authors: January 15, 2012 · Final manuscripts: March 1, 2012 · Publication of special issue: May 2012 Guest Editors Seong-Lyun Kim Yonsei University, Korea slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr Dapeng Oliver Wu University of Florida, USA wu(a)ece.ufl.edu Klaus Schilling Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Germany schi(a)informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de for(i=0;i<document.links.length;i++){try{if(document.links[i].toString().indexOf('javascript') < 0) document.links[i].target='_blank';}catch(e){}}try{setTimeout(function(){parent.view.resizeIframe(document.body.scrollWidth, document.body.scrollHeight);},200);}catch(e){} _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

They have a considerable engineering, commercial and societal impact and pose numerous challenges to designers. One class of issues is the continuous offering of services in spite of various types of failures that are everyday events in networks. The increasing complexity, the participation of many different autonomous entities in the service provision, the lack of information, coordinated actions as well as governance makes this challenge increasingly difficult. In addition to a design of reliable network segments, server clusters etc., new technological issues like stability and failure management across heterogeneous autonomous systems arise. They also involve novel fields at the border of technology, business and society, like risk-awareness or influence of public policy. The goal of this issue is to present state of the art research contributions that focus on the reliable network-based services (RNS) provisioning. Contributions are invited from prospective authors with interests in the indicated special issue topics and related areas of application. All contributions should be of high quality, original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Network and service resilience: + reliability requirements and metrics for individual users, business, and the society + service differentiation based on recovery methods + dependability of networked applications and network-based services + application and service-specific survivability techniques - Commercial and societal context: + telecommunication networks as an element of critical national infrastructures + network resilience combined with economics and business issues + risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks - Operational aspects: + resilience of multi-domain connections in the Internet + reliability of emerging technologies (e.g., network virtualization, thin client architectures) + network dependability in cloud computing + interaction between fault management and traffic handling - Theory and modeling + reliability analysis + methods and theory for survivable networks and systems + simulation techniques for network and service resilience SCHEDULE Manuscript submission deadline: December 1, 2011 First notification: March 1, 2012 Submission of revised paper: May 1, 2012 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2012 GUEST EDITORS Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland, piotr.cholda(a)agh.edu.pl Bjarne E.

A large body of research, from various perspectives, have been produced by both the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities to achieve self-organization and coordination of groups of sensors, actuators, robots or drones toward target-oriented missions. But, the convergence of objectives and methodologies of the two disciplines is still open for further significant research efforts and challenging problems remain. The research on ad hoc networks, autonomic networks, cyber physical systems, self-organizing networks and machine-to-machine communications has involved issues, concepts and challenges that are useful for characterizing the pathway toward the formalization of the theory and the definition of algorithms for Wireless Networked Robotics (WNR). WNR brings together the physical control of the devices along with their communication capabilities and it includes that so far have been either neglected or only partially explored by the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities. In WNR some or all of the devices are expected to have memory and reasoning capabilities, which allow them to use the input coming from other devices, the environment and their history to select the best behaviour to assume according to mission objectives. Therefore, machine learning and cognitive networks concepts and algorithms would greatly contribute to WNR theory and algorithms. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the theory, algorithms and applications of wireless networked robotics. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - algorithm and theory of cooperation and coordination in WNR modelization, simulation and evaluation of coordination and cooperation schemes in WNR - communication and motion aware protocols for WNR - impact and optimization of network performance through physical and communication control of the devices - bio-inspired algorithms for cooperation and coordination in WNR self-organization in WNR - swarm intelligence and swarm robotics algorithms in WNR use cases and applications for WNR A full description can be found at the following address: http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/call_for_papers_WNR.pdf _____________________________________________ *Submission Format and Guideline: * _____________________________________________ All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TPDS SI on Cyber-Physical Systems, submission due by Sep. 16, 2011 Datum: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 06:42:24 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> Antwort an: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org <discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org>, tccn(a)comsoc.org <tccn(a)comsoc.org>, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)SIMULA.NO> schrieb: Dear Colleagues, Due to requests from several prospective authors, the paper deadline for MMSys 2012 has been extended to September 26. The updated call for papers is included below. Best regards, Carsten Call For Papers for Multimedia Systems 2012 (MMSys 2012) February 22-24, 2012 Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA http://www.mmsys.org Important Dates: * September 26, 2011: Submission Deadline * November 1, 2011: Notification Date We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 3rd Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held Feb. 22-24, 2012 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. The Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. For MMSys 2011, a Special Session on Modern Media Transport: DASH was organized. It was very successful in terms of attendance, presentations and discussions. The match of interests between special session and main conference was very satisfying, and MMT DASH will be fully integrated into the main MMSys conference from 2012. Highly appreciated program points such as the data set track of MMSys 2011 will of course also return for MMSys 2012. You can also listen to keynotes by Deepak S. Turaga from IBM and Leonidas Kontothanassis from Google. MMSys 2012 will also host the Mobile Video Workshop (MoVid), which has its own web pages at http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/movid/ *** Submissions *** * Full papers: no more than 12 pages * Short papers: no more than 6 pages * Dataset papers: no more than 6 pages * Demos: no more than 6 pages Full, short and dataset papers will be presented in single track sessions. *** Dataset Track *** Datasets must be available online. Submissions require a URL pointing to the dataset. Datasets must be accompanied by a short paper, which can be up to 6 pages long.
