CFP: IEEE SUTC 2010, Intl. Conf. on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous and Trustworthy Computing
by Römer Kay Uwe 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Call for papers: IEEE SUTC 2010 The Third IEEE Intl. Conf. on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing June 7-9, 2010 Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Newport Beach, California, USA http://sutc2010.eecs.uci.edu The availability of small, low-cost, and low-power sensors, radios, and microcontrollers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. As a result, different research communities have emerged that work on related aspects, but have slightly different foci. A focus of the sensor network community is on energy-efficient systems and networking solutions. While these aspects are also fundamental for ubiquitous computing, a focus of the latter community is on user interaction. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control. Despite these differences, the realization of the above visions involves a common fundamental challenge: The need for trustworthy computing solutions to deliver secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services. The aim of the IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC 2010) is to bring together the above communities to exchange latest results, to join efforts in solving the common challenges, but also to contrast the developments in the different communities. To support this goal, the conference will feature several (serial) tracks devoted to sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and cyber-physical systems, as well as tracks devoted to common themes such as pervasive services and data management, embedded networking, and trustworthy computing. In addition, the conference features invited talks and panel discussions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited. Topics for submission include, but are not limited to the following aspects of sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and trustworthy computing: - Applications (novel use cases, deployment experience, ...) - Algorithms and Protocols (topology, coverage, routing, timesync, distributed coordination, ...) - Data Management and Processing (gathering, storage, fusion, dissemination, ...) - Deployment, Testing, and Debugging - Design and Programming Methodologies - Distributed Sensing, Actuation, and Control - Energy management - Embedded processors, sensors, and actuators - Management aspects (configuration, adaptation, healing, ...) - Mobility, Location, and Context - Modeling and Performance Evaluation (simulation, complexity analysis, user studies, ...) - Operating Systems, Services, and Middleware - Privacy - QoS aspects - Reliability - Security (authentication, access control, intrusion detection and tolerance, ...) - Social Issues - System and Network Architectures - Trust (establishment, negotiation, management, ...) - User Interface Technologies - Wireless Communication and Networks (ad hoc networks, personal area networks, ...) PAPER SUBMISSION The conference solicits original and previously unpublished research and industrial papers. Submissions should be prepared in IEEE conference proceedings format, up to 8 pages in two-column, no less than 10 pt font and uploaded in pdf at the conference submission site (detailed submission instructions will be made available on the conference homepage).

[Tccc] IEEE Green Communications] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Green Communications
by Honggang Zhang 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) Dear all Colleagues, Historically, the very FIRST special issue of IEEE Communications Magazine with focus on "Green Communications" is planned to be published in November 2010. This special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Please kindly refer to the following Call For Papers (CFP) for more detailed information. We are expecting your paper submission, contribution, and involvements as much as you can. With best regards, Guest Editor Team IEEE "Green Communications" Special Issue ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP) IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications" The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses. If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a myriad of communications and information technologies have already been exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow. To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum). This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following: . Energy-efficient circuit and device . Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies . Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking . Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks . Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking . Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing . Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks . Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy consumption . Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks . Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement . Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks . Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management . Harvesting distributed energy generation . Smart Grid . Information theory on energy efficiency . Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks . Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies . Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring) . Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications and future evolution . Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices, including life cycle assessment . Regulation and standardization . Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications (e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells) Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html <http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Two weeks to deadline: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, special section on "Control over Wireless Networks: Foundations, Networking, Applications" Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:57:39 +0200 Von: Carlo Fischione <carlofi(a)ee.kth.se> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------- * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS * * special section on * * Control over Wireless Networks: * * Foundations, Networking, Applications * ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless technologies, nowadays a commodity in personal and data communication, have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly, standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that may limit the rate of adoption. The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications. The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for publication. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop (routing, transport) protocols * Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control * Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless control * Security for industrial wireless systems * Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems * Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems * Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control * Innovative wireless networked control applications --------------------------------------------------------------- DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: October 31, 2009 Expected publication date: November 2010 (tentative) MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Follow the guidelines in Information for Authors in http://ieee-ies.org/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii --------------------------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS Carlo Fischione KTH Royal Institute of Technology Karl Henrik Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Mikael Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Andreas Willig TU Berlin Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief. Some papers may be published outside the special section, at his discretion. _____________________________________ Carlo Fischione Assistant Professor (forskarassistent) ACCESS Linnaeus Centre Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden Phone: +46 8 7907466 Fax: +46 8 7907329 E-Mail: carlofi(a)ee.kth.se Web: www.ee.kth.se/~carlofi ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks"

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources - such as processing, communication, and energy - are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including figures, tables, algorithms, and references. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below. Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Eduardo F.
