-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] GLOBECOM 2011 Green Communication Systems and Networks Track Datum: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 10:59:50 +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.

The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom 2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSI protocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbed design and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must (i) be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), (ii) be in font size no smaller than 10 points, (iii) have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and (iv) fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the Mobicom 2011 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org<mailto:mobicom_pcchairs@acm.org>. BEST PAPER AWARD: All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission due: March 2, 2011 (11:59PM EST) Paper submission due: March 9, 2011 (11:59PM EST) Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2011 Camera-ready version due: June 30, 2011 General Chair Parmesh Ramanathan, University of Wisconsin-Madison Program Co-Chairs Brian Neil Levine, Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst Thyaga Nandagopal, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent Steering Committee Victor Bahl Imrich Chlamtac David B.

It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 (just a little room) -----------_____________________________________________ -- With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science New Mexico State University Homepage: www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra_____________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the itc list, click the following link: http://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today’s communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks • Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks • Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks • Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. • Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques • Self-organizing/optimizing networks • Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs • Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management • Regulation and standardization • Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes • Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks • Operators’ experience • Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization • Energy minimization of system-wide components • Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM WiSec 2011: Call for Posters and Demos - Deadline Feb. 28 Datum: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 16:12:00 +0100 Von: Frank Kargl <f.kargl(a)utwente.nl> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fourth ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security ACM WiSec '11 June 14-17, 2011 Hamburg, Germany http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security is a forum for discussing security solutions for existing and emerging wireless networks. It draws upon a broad array of disciplines that span security, communications and networking. In addition to technical research papers, the technical program of ACM WiSec 2011 will include a Poster and Demonstration Session to provide a venue for presenting work that is at a nascent state of development or for demonstrating new technologies that are relevant to wireless networking and security. The WiSec Program Committee is encouraging both academic and industrial submissions, with the objective of exchanging ideas and receiving timely feedback from other members of the research community. Submissions to the Poster and Demonstration Session will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas. Ideally, the demos should allow participants to try things out themselves. Submission Instructions for Posters and Demonstrations For the posters, authors should submit a two page extended abstract that provides sufficient technical detail so that the evaluation committee can assess the technical merit of the work. The poster abstracts do not have to present completed work, but at the same time should provide enough concrete evidence to support the potential and validity of the proposed ideas. For demos, authors should to submit a two page extended abstract that describes the technology that they have developed, the relevance to wireless networking and security, and which also highlights the novelty of the prototype. For demonstrations, the abstract should also contain an extra page that clearly describes what conference participants will be able to see or do during the demonstration. Demonstrations should have a research component and, in particular, should not push a commercial agenda. Both types of abstracts should follow the WiSec formatting guidelines (with a 2 page limit + 1 extra page for demos), and authors should refer to the main WiSec website for instructions related to formatting. Abstracts of accepted posters and demos will be distributed to conference participants and selected abstracts will be published in the ACM SIGMOBILE MC2R magazine. The demo session will have a table per demo, power and wireless connectivity available. If a demonstration requires special arrangements, please note them in a separate email to the session chair parallel to submission. Submissions to the poster and demo session are being handled through the same submission system as the regular conference papers. Refer to http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2011/ for details.
