-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets @ IEEE CCNC - 2012 (Deadline Extended: Sep. 19) Datum: Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:23:10 +0200 Von: Martin Jacobsson <jacobsson.martin(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: m.jacobsson(a)ewi.tudelft.nl Organisation: TU Delft An: tccc <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> We have decided to harmonize the dates for Pernets with the other workshops in IEEE CCNC. Therefore, the paper submission deadline has been extended until September 19, 2012. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. **************************************************************************************************** Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2012) January 14-17, 2012 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Submission instructions at: http://edas.info/N11047 Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: September 19, 2011 (extended deadline) Notification of Acceptance: October 14, 2011 Camera-Ready Submissions: October 25, 2011 **************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website - http://edas.info/N11047 The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

Thank you to post in your emailing lists ============================================================================= SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 6th, 2011 extended to September 19th, 2011 Firm CALL-FOR-PAPERS IEEE ICC 2012: Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networking Symposium http://www.ieee-icc.org/ June 10th-15, 2012 OTTAWA, Canada ============================================================================= Symposium Chairs: Jalel Ben-Othman, University of Versailles (jalel.ben-othman(a)prism.uvsq.fr) Rami Langar, University of Paris 6, France (rami.langar(a)lip6.fr) Cheng Li (contact) , Memorial University of Newfoundland (licheng(a)mun.ca) Lei Shu, Osaka University (lei.shu(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) Sonia Waharte University of Oxford, UK (sonia.waharte(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk) Sponsoring Technical Committees: Ad Hoc & Sensor Communications & Networks Wireless Communications Information Infrastructure Scope: The field of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networking is reemerging amid unprecedented growth in the scale and diversity of computer networking. A Mobile ad hoc network (Manet) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be internetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure, or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks (with hundreds of nodes) to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Dynamic topologies, Bandwidth constraints, Energy-constrained operations, Wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate Mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multihop networks. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline 6 September 2011 for publication in the IEEE ICC 2012 Conference Proceedings and for oral or poster presentation(s).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerMoby 2012 CFP Datum: Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:58:47 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2012) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2012 (http://www.percom.org) March 19-23, Lugano, Switzerland ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).

Fwd: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 00:44:08 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Due date for the next issue: December 1, 2011 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues. Schedule for the First Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: June 1 Acceptance Notification: September 1 Final Manuscript Submission: November 1 Expected Publication Date: January Schedule for the Second Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: December 1 Acceptance Notification: March 1 Final Manuscript Submission: May 1 Expected Publication Date: July Series Editors Ying-Dar Lin, ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw National Chiao Tung University – Network Benchmarking Lab (NCTU-NBL), TAIWAN Erica Johnson, erica.johnson(a)iol.unh.edu University of New Hampshire – InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), USA Eduardo Joo, ejoo(a)empirix.com Empirix Inc., USA _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
