Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the following years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2013 is the ninth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production wireless networks • Measurement and characterization of wireless networks traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, and sensor networks • Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models • Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting • Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements • Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration • Methodologies for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks • Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing and sharing wireless measurement data • Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems • Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation • Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility • Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds • Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size) including figures. Only PDF files are acceptable. Papers can be prepared using either LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Do not put page numbers on your document. References should be numbered in alphabetical order by lead author last name. Within the text, citations to references should appear as the appropriate reference number in square brackets.

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] IEEE Sensors Journal SI on Internet of Things (Due: Jan 31, 2013) Datum: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:16:56 -0800 Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)YAHOO.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE Sensors Journal SI on Internet of Things (IoT): Architecture, Protocols and Services (http://www.ieee-sensors.org/files/2012/09/IEEE_Sensors_IoT_SI_CfP-Final1.pdf) Submission Due: January 31, 2013 The Internet of Things was “Born” between 2008 and 2009, when the number of things connected to the Internet exceeded the number of people connected. By 2020, several tens of billions of devices are predicted to be connected. It is envisioned that the physical things/devices will be outfitted with different kinds of sensors and actuators and connected to the Internet via heterogeneous access networks enabled by technologies such as embedded sensing and actuating, radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, real-time and semantic web services, etc. IoT is actually a network of networks with many unique characteristics. With the huge number of things/objects and sensors/actuators connected to the Internet, a massive and in some cases real-time data flow will be automatically produced by connected things and sensors. It is important to collect correct raw data in an efficient way; but more important is to analyze and mine the raw data to abstract more valuable information such as correlations among things and services to provide web of things or Internet of services. However many challenges and problems remain unsolved as of now or not fully addressed due to the unique features of IoT systems. First, IoT needs an appropriate architecture such as a service-oriented, a content-centric, or a thing-centric architecture. Second, it is truly challenging to design efficient protocols to cater for diverse IoT devices, sensors and services. The goal of this special issue of IEEE Sensors Journal is to feature latest advances and directions in IoT architecture, protocols and services for typical IoT use cases (such as smart grid, connected cars, smart cities, etc), their performance, impact, demands and implications on future Internet design. The emphasis of this special issue will be on the sensor aspects of IoT. Scope Papers should contain original results or review/tutorial content to be accessible to general audiences working in the field. Topics of interest are listed, but not limited to, as follows: * Sensors in scalable IoT architecture * Mobile and participatory sensor networks for IoT * Wireless sensor networks for IoT * Sensing and actuating as an IoT service * Sensor network virtualization * IoT identification, addressing and naming schemes * Sensor communications protocols for IoT: energy efficiency, security & privacy, autonomous management * IoT sensor data collection, management and analytics * Semantic sensor services for IoT * Cloud computing and services for IoT * Big sensor data for IoT * New IoT applications and use cases * IoT test-beds in realistic environments * IoT standardization Submissions Guideline All manuscripts must be submitted on-line for the standard IEEE Sensors Journal peer review process, via the IEEE Manuscript CentralTM, see http://sensors-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com. When submitting, please indicate in the “Manuscript Type” roll down menu, and also by e-mail to Ms. Alison Larkin, a.larkin(a)ieee.org, that the paper is intended for the “IoT” Special Issue. Authors are particularly encouraged to suggest names of potential reviewers for their manuscripts in the space provided for these recommendations in Manuscript Central. For manuscript preparation and submission, please follow the guidelines in the Information for Authors at the IEEE Sensors Journal web page, http://www.ieee.org/sensors Schedule * Submissions deadline: January 31, 2013 * Author notifications: April 31, 2013 * Final manuscripts due: June 15, 2013 * Publication date: September 2013 Guest Editors * Dr. Chonggang Wang, InterDigital Communications, USA (cgwang(a)ieee.org) * Dr. Mahmoud Daneshmand, AT&T Labs Research, USA (daneshmand(a)ieee.org) * Dr. Mischa Dohler, CTTC, Barcelona, Spain (mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es) * Professor Rahim Tafazolli, University of Surrey, UK (R.Tafazolli(a)surrey.ac.uk) * Professor Xufei Mao, Tsinghua University, China (xufeimao(a)tsinghua.edu.cn) * Professor Subhas Chandra Mukhopadhyay.

Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity. Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2013 workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas, discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous editions, this year’s workshop is particularly interested in novel research directions, such as service composition techniques, co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights from game theory, social networking analysis, and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2013 include, but are not limited to: Routing, transport, and reliability issues Techniques for data dissemination and replication Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks Cognition-driven information processing and decision making Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications Game-theoretical insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks Trust, security, and reputation Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required and present his/her work at the workshop. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).

The workshop focuses on defining novel problems and developing novel techniques for data security and privacy issues in wireless and mobile networks. With the emergence of data-intensive wireless networks such as wireless sensor networks and data-centric mobile applications such as location-based services, the traditional boundaries between these three disciplines are blurring. This workshop solicits papers from two main categories: (1) papers that consider the security and privacy of data collection, transmission, storage, publishing, and sharing in wireless networks broadly defined, e.g., MANET, cellular, vehicular, ad hoc, cognitive, as well as sensor networks; and (2) papers that use data analytics techniques to address security and privacy problems in wireless networks. The workshop provides a venue for researchers to present new ideas with impact on three communities – wireless networks, databases, and security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Location privacy in wireless networks • Secure data collection and aggregation for wireless sensor networks • Secure query processing over wireless sensor networks • Secure and privacy-preserving data streaming • Key exchange, distribution and management in wireless networks • Secure data processing in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) • Secure data collection in body-area networks • Throughput-security tradeoffs in wireless networks IMPORTANT DATES • Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2013 • Notification of acceptance: March 25, 2013 • Camera-ready papers due: April 8, 2013 • Workshop date: June 4, 2013 (in conjunction with WoWMoM 2013) Paper submission instructions: Original, unpublished manuscripts for 6-page papers inclusive of all references and figures are encouraged. Papers should report completed results and must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under review for any other publication. Vision papers and descriptions of work-in-progress are also welcome as short paper submissions (4 pages). Papers must be written in English, and formatted according to the WoWMoM Proceedings format. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Consequently, each accepted paper needs to have a registration to the conference (a no-show will result in exclusion of the corresponding paper from the IEEE Digital Library).

A CR network aims to support highly reconfigurable devices that are capable of sensing the current environment, and adapting the transmission parameters to the specific scenarios, also based on the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the applications. The potential deployment of CR networks has been further augmented through various standardization activities supported by the IEEE (e.g. IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.16h, IEEE 802.11y), and directives of spectrum regulatory agencies (e.g. the FCC in US). These efforts have opened portions of the spectrum for opportunistic spectrum access and laid down rules for sharing the spectrum, so that communication in novel and promising application domains, like smart-grid and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) domains, as well as communication in critical scenarios, like vehicular networks, public safety networks, emergency networks, are supported. However, to fully realize the potential of CR networks, there is a need to draw the attention of the research community for developing advanced, context-based and innovative methodologies, techniques and algorithms possibly inspired by multi-disciplinary research fields. The objective 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 both the methodological and algorithmic aspects and the novel applications of cognitive radio networking. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: • Centralized/Distributed algorithms for Radio Resource Management in CR networks • Centralized/Distributed algorithms for CR network management • Machine learning techniques for CR networks • Swarm Intelligence and biological-inspired networking for CR networks • Cooperative and non-cooperative techniques for spectrum management and access • Algorithms and protocols for self-configuring CR networks • Environmental and context-based factors exploitation in CR systems • Space-Time spectrum information sharing and RF DB integration in CR systems • Protocol stack adaptation and Cross-layering in CR systems • Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel CR methodologies • Spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing techniques • Game theoretical analysis of CR networks • CR enhanced vehicular networks • Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and Management in vehicular environments • Mobile Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks • CR for emergency and public safety applications • CR for wireless medical networks • Cognitive Machine-to-machine (CM2M) communication • CR networks for smart grid applications • Spectrum Management functionalities in CR-based smart grid applications • CR implementations and test-beds • Novel Applications of CR technology • Emergent behavior of CR systems • New paradigms for CR systems • Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of CR technologies and CR networks • Security and safety aspects of CR systems General Chair Luciano Bononi- University of Bologna TPC Co-Chairs Marco Di Felice - University of Bologna KaushikChowdhury- Northeastern University TPC Members: TBD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS) June4th, 2013, Madrid, Spain. URL: http://www2.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further stressed. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges 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, esp. 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 Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT / M2M - Communication protocols for the IoT / M2M - Service platforms for the IoT / M2M - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT / M2M - Mobility management - Context awareness - Sustainable design - Location-based services and geographic information systems - Experimental prototypes and pilots; large-scale testbed infrastructures - Performance evaluation - Convergence with the Internet of Services - Applications, including: eHealth/mHealth; Smart Grid/Smart Metering; connected consumer; fleet management; surveillance; Intelligent Transportation Systems; Smart House/Neighborhood/City - Business development and processes - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research Workshop organizers Workshop Chair: Susana Sargento Workshop Vice-Chair: Carlo Vallati Steering Committee: Claudio Cicconetti Enzo Mingozzi Jaudelice Cavalcante de Oliveira Xiaohua Jia Potential Technical Program Committee: - TBA Paper Submission: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

According to the UN State of the World Population 2007 report, sometime in the middle of 2007, the number of people living in cities and towns has overtook the number of people living in the rural areas and this event was recorded in the history as the arrival of the "Urban Millennium" or the 'tipping point'. In regard to future trends, it is estimated 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers have become very alert, calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems. However, the recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems. This is verified as a target research and innovation area in Horizon 2020 of European Union Policy under the challenge 'Secure Clean and Efficient Energy' with the main goal of jointly Smart Sustainable Cities. The aim is to integrate and validate ICT technologies and services in neighbourhoods to make progress towards intelligent cities by exploiting ubiquitous technologies. In addition to technical developments, attention is given to innovative service business models which include security, safety and privacy issues. Our need to improve our understanding of cities, however, is pressed not only by the social relevance of urban environments, but also by the availability of new strategies for city-scale interventions that are enabled by emerging technologies. Leveraging advances in data analysis, sensor technologies, and urban experiments, City Science will provide new insights into creating a data-driven approach to urban design and planning. To build the cities that the world needs, we need a scientific understanding of cities that considers our built environments and the people who inhabit them. This call addresses all the aforementioned issues by incorporating new technologies in the area of mobile communications, multimedia services, data storage and handling and ubiquitous computing. The call will cover the area of • Urban Analysis and Modeling: • data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities • Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) • Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities • Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technology for cities • Mobility Networks: • Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines • New urban vehicles including electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. • Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces • Charging and locking technology for shared-use vehicle systems • Interfaces for shared-use vehicle systems, including proactive, persuasive systems • Electronic parking systems • Multimedia pervasive computing for smart cities • Electronic and Social Networks: • New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems • Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities • Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces • Replace one-size-fits-all systems with exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially efficient services • Places of Living and Work • Personalized, transformable urban housing • Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work • Modular, personalized hydroponic and aeroponic urban farming • Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Important Dates Submission deadline: February 28 Acceptance Notification: March 25 Camera-Ready Deadline: April 8 Workshop Co-Chairs Anastasios D.
