-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE GLOBECOM 2011: Green Communication Systems and Networks Track, Extended Deadline 20 March 2011 Datum: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:14:01 +0000 Von: Jaafar Elmirghani <J.M.H.Elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk> An: 'tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS -- IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 Selected Areas in Communications Symposium Green Communication Systems and Networks Track Symposium Chair Track Chair: Jaafar M.H. Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom'11 is the next edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of cyber, physical, and social computing - Intelligence and semantics in cyber, physical, and social computing - Architecture and infrastructure for cyber, physical, and social computing - Applications and experiences of cyber, physical, and social computing - Cyber-physical systems and society - Modeling, mining, and analysis of social data and social networks - Communication and control in cyber, physical, and social computing - Security, privacy, trust, and safety - Design of large scale of cyber, physical, and social systems - Tools for analysis, verification, control, and optimization of hybrid systems - Ubiquitous sensing with socially produced input - Mobile phones as social sensors - Cyber/digital human and network life 3. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Proposal Due: April 1, 2011 Submission Due: May 1, 2011 Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2011 4. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> schrieb: Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement._____________________________________________ Call for papers: Special Session on Urban Sensing at the 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) The 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) will be held in London at the Royal Society, on September 26-28, 2011 and is organised by Imperial College. We are calling for papers on a special session focusing on urban sensing. The emergence of the smartphones as a multi-purpose computing platform has been one of the most exciting technological developments of recent years. These devices have a computing power which several years ago was associated with desktop computers, and have a collection of integrated sensors ranging from cameras and arrays of microphones to GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes. They often maintain a permanent infrastructure-based internet connection, but they can also participate in peer-to-peer communication using WiFi in infrastructure or ad-hoc mode, Bluetooth and near-field communication. The always on / always available usage pattern of these devices ensures that their penetration and mobility follows that of their users, providing full coverage of the urban areas of the developed world, and rapidly expanding to the developing countries. Urban sensing is an emergent field of computing which takes advantage of these capabilities to develop applications with high social and economic value. We are requesting high quality, research or applications papers on topics associated with urban sensing. Papers which dealing with the following aspects are especially encouraged: The sensing aspect: What type of observations can the sensor make and how can the data be collected and validated? How can we draw inferences, make predictions and take actions based on the collected data? Distributed approaches which store and process the data in-network are of a special interest. The social aspect: What is the relationship of the owner of the smartphone to the data and to the other participants? How are the interests of the providers of the services and beneficiaries of the services reconciled? Approaches based on both altruistic (e.g. citizen computing) and self-interested (e.g. market based) models are of interest. What is the relationship between the collaboration implied by urban sensing to the social networks of the participants? Agent based models of the social and cultural aspects of urban sensing are of special interest. The networking aspect: What are the networking architecture implications of urban sensing? What are the relative benefits of peer to peer vs. infrastructure based communication? Investigations into non-traditional communication technologies - such as proximity based or opportunistic communication are especially encouraged. The security and privacy aspect: What are the security and privacy risks associated by participating in urban sensing? What attack scenarios can a malicious participant use to falsify the resulting data and how can the system defend against such attacks? How can we negotiate the trade-off between the privacy cost and societal benefits of applications? Authors are invited to submit original research papers that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. All papers will be peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The Proceedings of ISCIS 2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes notes on Electrical Engineering, known as LNEE. Also, an extended and revised version of the best papers will be considered for publication in The Computer Journal. Please submit your paper via Easy Chair at the following web address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iscis2011 The authors should add the keyword "Urban sensing" to the submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [CFP] CONET Summer School on Networked Embedded Systems: Humans in the Loop Datum: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 15:26:50 +0100 Von: Kay Roemer - CONET Summer School <ubicomp-announce(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch> Antwort an: <ubicomp-announce(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch> An: <ubicomp-announce(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch> Networked Embedded Systems: Humans in the Loop CONET Summer School Bertinoro, Italy, July 24-30, 2011 www.cooperating-objects.eu/school/2011 THEME -- Sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, and cooperating objects are becoming an important part of our daily life. Humans build, deploy, use, and maintain these systems that can sense our activities and influence our behavior. We will increasingly rely on these networked embedded systems, therefore also requiring a secure and privacy-preserving treatment of sensitive human-centric data. Novel paradigms and solutions are also needed to allow humans to interact with these systems. This school explores the manifold relationship between networked embedded systems and humans as their creators, users, and subjects. GOALS & AUDIENCE -- The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of networked embedded systems and their relationship to humans, as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of lectures by international experts. Participants will also experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and be given a chance to present their own work during a participants' workshop. The school will provide a great opportunity to know other people working in the field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. We expect about 60 participants. The intended audience are postgraduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. TOPICS - Design and implementation of networked embedded systems - Debugging and validation of networked embedded systems - Management and maintenance of networked embedded systems - Sensing and affecting behavior of humans and other organisms - Participatory sensing - Interacting with networked embedded systems - Security, privacy, and dependability - Applications, such as smart energy and smart healthcare - Experience from real-world deployments SPEAKERS (Preliminary) - Srdjan Capkun (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Tanzeem Choudhury (Dartmouth College, USA) - Peter Corke (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) - Anna Foerster (SUPSI, Switzerland) - Mark Hansen (UCLA, USA) - Lars Erik Holmquist (Mobile Life @ SICS, Sweden) - Marc Langheinrich (University of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland) - Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Luca Mottola (SICS, Sweden) - Angelika Peer (TU Munich, Germany) - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Kay Roemer (University of Luebeck, Germany & ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Andreas Terzis (Johns Hopkins University, USA) - Thiemo Voigt (SICS, Sweden) PARTICIPATION -- Prospective participants should apply online before April 30, 2011 at the summer school website. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 60. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on their work area and background, geographic distribution, and date of application. Acceptance notifications will be sent end of May. The registration fee (480 EUR in shared double room, 570 EUR in single room) covers participation in the summer school, accommodation, all meals, and excursions. CONET provides 15 grants of 480 EUR each for selected European participants, that is, participation for recipients of a grant is free of charge when sharing a double room. ORGANIZERS -- The school is directed by Kay Römer (University of Luebeck, Germany and ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), and Luca Mottola (SICS, Sweden), and organized by the European Network of Excellence CONET. -- Please do not reply to this mail.

CFP: WIVEC2011

IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline (extended): 14 March 2011 Acceptance notification: 15 April 2011 Camera-ready papers due: 13 June 2011
