-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IoT-SoS: 3rd IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2014) Datum: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:21:24 +1100 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IoT-SoS 2014 3rd IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2014) Sydney, Australia 16 June 2014 http://www.ieee-wowmom.org/iot-sos/2014 https://twitter.com/IoTSoS CALL FOR PAPERS The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: 1. Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. 2. The creation of value-added services, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M concepts: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Aarathi Prasad <aarathi(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Gesendet: Wed Jan 22 19:57:49 MEZ 2014 An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Betreff: MobiSys PhD Forum 2014 - Call for Submissions Dear all, Please encourage PhD students to submit to the MobiSys PhD forum 2014. The submission deadline is approaching -- March 31. The plain text CFP is listed below. Apologies to those of you who have received this message multiple times. Regards, Aarathi Prasad MobiSys PhD Forum Co-Chair *Call for Submissions* **************************************** *Overview* The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an excellent opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This meeting is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. *Awards* Best presentation will receive an award at the forum. *Format* The forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to 10 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. *Submission* Submissions should consist of the following: An extended abstract of the student's dissertation research (up to 2 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, initial results, and references. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, it is recommended to clearly delineate the student's prior work and cite them; this will help the reviewers and the panel to make better judgment of technical contributions and provide more useful suggestions. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. The submission format should be used by the same format of MobiSys conference. Please visit here<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/submission.php> for detail. Submissions MUST be no more than two (2) pages. This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Please register and submit your paper using the submission system. There may be some travel grants from NSF and SIGMOBILE to attend PhD Forum. Submissions will be handled via email: mobisys14.phd.forum(a)gmail.com If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. *Important Dates* Submission deadline: : March 31, 2014 (11:59 PM PST) Notification deadline: April 17, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Forum Date: June 16, 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

By 2030, the world population is expected to be nearly 60% urban, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to 70%, according to the United Nations. With populations growing, cities need to face increasing and critical problems of urban environments. From transportation to green/smart buildings, urban agriculture, environmental monitoring, energy storage and public safety/security, all of these new applications rely on the deployment of smart object networks offering a high degree of scalability, reliability, and security. This is why we believe that current and probable future green engineering challenges in building smarter cities must employ the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm to enable the creation of urban and sustainable cyber-physical systems. *Scope* The scope of this special issue is to explore state-of-the-art research covering a variety of concepts on green engineering in building smart cities in an efficient and sustainable way. Original, unpublished manuscripts in any aspects of Green Engineering and Smart Green Cities (SGC) are welcomed for this special issue. The topics of interest include, but are not limited, to: - Cyber-physical systems for SGC - IP smart objects, green clouds and Sensing as a Service (SaaS) for SGC - IoT architectures and platforms for SGC - IoT privacy, security and trust management in smart green environments - Sensor applications for a SGC (e.g. smart parking, structural health monitoring, traffic congestion, smart street lighting) - Content-Centric Networking in SGC - Electric vehicles, smart grids and microgrids - Energy-aware and green ICT infrastructures for SGC - Energy harvesting, energy saving and carbon footprint reduction - Case studies and innovative applications for SGC - Prototypes, experimental testbeds and simulation environments *Submission details* High quality contributions not yet published and not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed events are sought.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:46:06 +0100 Von: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0115.html) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions.

Hence, recently several mobile augmented reality (AR) applications have been developed e.g. AR-based tourist guiding system. Such applications superimpose computer-generated data such as text, video, graphs on top of the real-world view as captured by a camera embedded within a smartphone. Thus, such applications enhance a userâ€™s perception of reality and of his surrounding environment. Furthermore, mobile augmented reality applications which are designed for children with special needs have recently appeared. In addition, recently researchers have extended robots usage into our daily lives such as search and rescue operations, education, entertainment, special need population e.g. autistic children or seniors. These new mobile augmented reality and robot application domains require close interactions with human beings, smart intelligence to allow smooth visual and audio recognition and some novel interface design. In this workshop, we hope to gather researchers who conduct researches in these two exciting fields to gather and share information on the challenges they face as well as their innovative design. * * *Relevant Topics include (but are not limited to these):* Fundamental design: 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] One month to the deadline: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on "New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks" Datum: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:56:40 +0000 Von: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** Call for Papers Special Issue on New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks * Deadline: February 17, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… Internet is extending beyond its fixed network infrastructure boundaries by gradually incorporating a wide range of challenging networks and autonomous devices, serving non-traditional user communities, such as space missions, disaster areas, and economically challenged populations. These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, use at least 11pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. * Important Dates * Manuscript Submission: February 17, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 16, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 14, 2014 * Editor in Chief * Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA * Guest Editors * Vassilis Tsaoussidis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.
