As a result, there will be a strong demand for wireless communications and networking to provide information as well as onboard entertainment services to passengers and driver. Vehicular communication is expected to implement a variety of wired and wireless technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) for V2V systems, communication may experience serious deterioration due to the lack of accurate channel state information and advanced radio-resource-allocation schemes to assign wireless resources to high-speed vehicles. Moreover, communication among high-speed vehicles through cellular communication networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs resulting in degradation in overall system performance. This motivates researchers to design innovative resource allocation techniques and robust, as well as, fast handover schemes for dynamically changing topologies of VANETs. In VANETs for V2V communications, trust, security, privacy, and reliable routing are major concerns since the network topology changes constantly. Furthermore, physical layer design issues for wireless communications in high-speed mobile environments are also of vital importance to realize its full potential for ITS. All in all, vehicular communications with dynamically changing topologies is a demanding research topic. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that focus on vehicular communications and networking. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to · Physical Layer and Propagation Models. · Radio Resource and Interference Management. · Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols. · Information Aggregation and Dissemination. · Positioning and Location Technologies. · Sensor Technologies for VANETs. · Drive-Through Internet and Roadside Infrastructures. · Incident Detection for VANETs. · Trust, Security, and Privacy Issues. · Fast and Reliable Handover and Mobility Management · Vehicle Traffic Models. · Heterogeneous Networking. · Cellular and Satellite Communications for Vehicular Networking. · Cross-Layer Designs and Architectures. · Game Theory Based Protocols and Algorithms. · Green Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Standardization and Development, such as WAVE/DSRC/802.11p · Applications, Case Studies, and Real-World Test Beds. · Business Models and Policies. -------------------------------------------- Submission Format and Guideline: ----------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be written in English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is not currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt font) including figures, tables, and references.

Paper submission deadline: August 25th 2010 *********************************************************** Call for Papers M-MPAC 2011 ----------- Third International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2011 Lisbon, Portugal 12-16 December 2011 Workshop Scope & Themes ----------------------- Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 and 2010 this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. In recent year, tablet devices and operating systems have gained a prominent spot in the limelight, while the smart phone landscape continues to change with new offerings supporting a variety of sensors, higher resolution and bigger size screens, high definition video recording and playback, and enhanced gaming. Embedded devices like televisions, TV set top boxes, and game consoles have grown beyond their original functionality to home multimedia systems supporting enhanced networking (e.g. IP TV and DNLA), and novel user interaction through 3D displays, and movement detection based controllers. The pervasiveness of such mobile and embedded devices has given rise to a variety of novel applications, such as social web applications, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, context-aware collaborative computing,participatory sensing, etc. Access to cloud computing infrastructures further enhances the capabilities of these devices offering additional opportunities for innovative applications and uses. Despite these successes, software development for such devices and platforms remains largely ad hoc, while interoperability among applications, devices and platforms is largely elusive. Middleware has a key role to play in overcoming these problems. However, it still unclear what are the appropriate middleware abstractions and supporting infrastructures necessary for such applications. The resource constrained nature and mobility of such devices place unique requirements for middleware and necessitate the exploration of novel programming abstractions, and supporting services, while capabilities like location and context-awareness open new avenues for radical approaches in their development. In this context, the main workshop themes include, but are not limited to the following themes: * Device platforms - Virtualization technologies & applications - Distributed ensembles - Interaction paradigms and protocols - Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android, IOS) - Virtual machines * Data issues - Data formats and encoding - Availability and durability of data in personal networks - Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics (e.g. cameras, iPods) - Data portability * Networking - Emerging wireless technologies and platforms - Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) - Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network - Quality of service and network selection * Security and Privacy - Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device interactions - Security architectures balancing risk and utility - Trust management in device ensembles - Mobile device data security * Mobile Web - Web architectures (REST, Ajax) in pervasive computing - Context adaptation/management in pervasive computing - Mobile web scalability and reliability in access - Content adaptation on mobile devices - Collaborative search * Adaptability - Context-awareness, location monitoring - Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness - Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data storage - Autonomics and self-* properties * Applications - Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, shopping, street navigation, etc. - Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks - Application development on mobile and embedded devices - Programming models * Experiences and case studies - Lessons from deployments - User experiences and field-trials - Performance studies Submission ---------- Submissions must not exceed 6 pages and must be formatted using the ACM proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF at http:/www.cis.strath.ac.uk/external/m-mpac2011/openconf/ Papers should present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in a special workshop proceedings volume in the ACM Digital Library. The publication of the best workshop submissions and the research roadmap in the style of previous events is under investigation.

For example, sensitive information can potentially be copied, altered or injected for malicious purposes, e.g., taking advantage of sensitive information or stealing/abusing digital identities. There is also a growing risk that computer and network attacks will be deployed to disturb or even severely impact important infrastructure components like communication systems, power grids, or traffic control systems in order to cause significant economic damages. In addition to these, there is a growing awareness of privacy concerns, regarding individual users as well as corporate and/or governmental organizations. Therefore, new approaches to information security, availability protection, and privacy management are required to be tightly integrated into IT and communication systems. The CISS Symposium will address all aspects of modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management of computer/network security algorithms, protocols, services, architectures, and systems. Envisaged contributions to CISS symposium target all security aspects of wired networks (electrical/optical) as well as wireless networks: 3G/4G, satellite, WLAN, WiMAX, Ad hoc, vehicular, RFID, and sensor networks, considering all layers from the physical to the application layer (including middleware and peer-to-peer systems). Furthermore, contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of security mechanisms for current technologies as well as novel security and data privacy solutions for emerging technologies are solicited. Papers should represent high-quality and previously unpublished work, and may not be submitted in parallel to other conferences or publications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers - IEEE/IFIP WONS 2012 Datum: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:41:04 +0200 Von: REINERI MASSIMO <massimo.reineri(a)polito.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. ********* CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2012 ********* The Nineth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Technical sponsorship: IEEE, IEEE ComSoc, IFIP, EURO-NF, TREND January 9-11, 2012. Courmayeur, Italy http://wons2012.tlc.polito.it Scope of the conference As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, machine-2-machine networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Theory, Algorithms and Applications of Wireless Networked Robotics Datum: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:12:02 +0200 Von: Enrico Natalizio <enatalizio(a)deis.unical.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elsevier Journal of Ad Hoc Networks (Impact Factor: 1.592) Call for Papers * Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Theory, Algorithms and Applications of Wireless Networked Robotics* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- *Overview:* -------------- Teams of heterogeneous devices pursuing a common objective are envisioned to be a viable and effective solution for many civil, societal and military applications. 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 --------------------------------------------- *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). The authors must select as "SI - Wireless Networked Robotics" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The EES website is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/ All papers will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers.
