The number of mobile phones, PDAs, NFC, RFID, smart card tokens, and other computing and portable devices requiring wireless network access has superseded that of wired ones. Wireless communications and smart devices provide many benefits such as mobility, portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation and maintenance costs. At the same time futurists are speculating about a world of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligent, in which countless invisible sensors and actuators will communicate with each other, imminently taking care of our needs and wishes. Depending on their specific underlying operational characteristics and deployment environment, these devices have specific platform, application, and communication requirements, and they may be routinely used by millions of users and for a variety of applications. These applications include a myriad of deployment scenarios including WLAN accessibility in order to check email and obtain access to the internet or other networks, buildings and public transport networks, or even engaging into financial transactions with banks or other individuals. As the technologies of next generation wireless networks and smart devices are emerging, security has become a primary concern, in order to ensure dependable, secure communications and services to the end user. This special issue on security of next generation smart devices will present current research focusing on security-related protocols and applications, secure architecture and frameworks, along with new theories and methodologies for secure next generation wireless networks and respective smart devices.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP - ACM MobiCom 2010 Datum: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:38:53 -0500 Von: Karthik Sundaresan <karthiks(a)NEC-LABS.COM> Antwort an: Karthik Sundaresan <karthiks(a)NEC-LABS.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] MobiCom 2010 The 16th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Planned for September 2010, Chicago, IL, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE *_ _* *_Papers_* Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * 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 * Design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Algorithms and models for wireless networks and mobile applications * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Measurements and performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks * 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, and software radios * 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 * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Emerging topics, e.g., social networking applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom 2010 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 algorithm design. 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/or 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 "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." *_Submission Instructions_* All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must: 1. be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), 2. be in font size no smaller than 10 points, 3. have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 in X 3.33 in, a space of 0.33 in between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and, 4. fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 in X 11 in). *Detailed instructions on how and where to submit your paper can be found here <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2010/submit.html>.* This year, authors will be given the option of submitting a few slides that summarize their paper and its contributions. The slides will not be revealed to the reviewers until just before the TPC meeting. They will be used only to better facilitate discussions during the TPC meeting. More details will be made available soon. 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. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or 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*****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_____* Abstracts submission due: March 5, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Paper submissions due: March 12, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Notification of acceptance: June 21, 2010 Camera-ready version due: July 15, 2010 *_Important Note_* It is ACM policy (http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html) <http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html> not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. *_For More Information_* Please contact the General Chair or Program Co-Chairs for more information.

[Tccc] Extended deadline: 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications 2010 (IEEE WiVeC)
by Sepulcre Ribes, Miguel 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVeC'2010) 16th-17th May 2010, Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ 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 successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. 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 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. 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. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * 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. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. 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/wivec2010/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Extended and Final Paper Submission Deadline: 21st January 2010 Notification of acceptance: 11th February 2010 Camera-ready papers due(hard deadline) : 18th February 2010 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
