-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Sensors Journal SI on Internet of Things (IoT) Datum: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 08:48:43 -0800 (PST) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] MONET SI on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks -- EXTENDED DEADLINE Datum: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 01:31:02 +0100 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Antwort an: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Organisation: University of Murcia (UMU), Spain An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 (2011 Impact Factor: 0.838 -- 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.494) Special Issue on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks The advances in wireless communication technologies toward 4G networks and the wide use of mobile devices have enabled users to communicate with each other and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of access networks and systems everywhere, anytime. However, the always-connected mobile device usage model brings to the foreground new security and privacy issues for both the end-user and network/service provider. For example, such a multi-domain and heterogeneous environment poses serious threats to the end-user who has contract with and trusts only a limited number of operators and service providers. In this respect, secure, reliable, and privacy-preserving communications combined with constant network availability are essential factors for the adoption of any service or application that utilize wireless technologies. Also, the tight-coupling of these wireless network domains to the Internet make them more susceptible to attacks. New security challenges emerge constantly due to the open nature of the wireless medium, the dynamic network topology, the lack of common security/privacy policy used by network operators, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, in some cases, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The objective of this special issue is to foster state-of-the-art contributions in the area of security, privacy, and its applications for future mobile communication networks. In particular, our focus will be on network layer security with the intention to address all aspects of the modeling, designing, implementation, assessment, deployment and management of mobile network security and privacy-preserving mechanisms, protocols and architectures. We encourage original and high quality contributions to the evaluation, enhancement of security and privacy-preserving mechanisms for current mobile technologies as well as novel proposals for efficient security and privacy solutions of emerging mobile and wireless technologies. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Lightweight Security Infrastructure - IMS security and privacy issues - Privacy and anonymity - Intrusion detection and avoidance - Modularized security architectures and implementations - Threat and vulnerability modeling - Lightweight AAA infrastructures - Privacy and Security Compliance - Security issues related to mobility in heterogeneous networks - Security of mesh networks - Trust establishment, negotiation, and management - Secure Multicast/Broadcast Service - Lightweight cryptography - Cross Layer approach to security - Key agreement, distribution and management - Trusted Platform Modules - Access control management systems - Privacy-preserving location-based services - Secure social networking for mobile devices - Biometric solutions for mobile devices - Security and privacy for QR codes - Reputation management models - Secure mobile ecosystems - Formal security verification methods All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine - Special Issue on Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications Datum: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:31:08 +0000 Von: Hamid Sharif-Kashani <hamidsharif(a)unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The confluence of electronics miniaturization, information proliferation in healthcare, and novel concepts for energy efficiency and energy scavenging, has pushed the application of Mobile Wireless Networks, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and - perhaps more importantly so - Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) from the realm of theoretical exploration into healthcare reality. This advance heralds in a new era for patient monitoring, medical procedures, patient status awareness, outpatient treatment, and a plethora of other areas in modern healthcare. Developments in component miniaturization of electronics and sensing devices, advances in low-power wireless communication, and the arrival of energy harvesting have led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and sensing devices that are ideally suited for mobile healthcare applications. These devices can be installed in medical facilities and equipment, or worn directly on a patient's body, allowing for real-time data acquisition, data fusion, reporting, and alerting from a plethora of sources. This allows for an unprecedented level of insight into a patient's health, with a similarly high level of fidelity of the collected data that in many cases is sufficient to allow biometric identification of an individual. With the advent of these new e-Health applications and their associated requirements and constraints, many vital topics of research need to be explored to provide robustness, security, responsiveness, and longevity of the wireless network and patient health information. This special issue focuses on the state-of-the-art in wireless networking for e-Health applications, associated technical and regulatory challenges, as well as exploring deployments and implementations in real-world applications. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Applications of Wireless Networks in e-Health - Real-World e-Health environments from design to operation - experiences, problems, and insights - Cross-Layer Design for e-Health applications - The PHY Layer of WSN, WBAN, and other e-Health Wireless Networks - MAC and Routing in e-Health Wireless Networks - Privacy, Security and Trust for e-Health applications - Biometrics using WBANs and its applications - Ensuring Energy Efficiency - Energy Harvesting for low-power wireless networking in e-Health applications - RF Interference and Coexistence - Mobility in e-Health applications - Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Evaluation for e-Health technologies - Collaborative, Opportunistic, and Cognitive Wireless Technology in e-Health - Trends, Future Applications and Research Challenges for Wireless Networks in e-Health - Regulatory Challenges and Commercialization of e-Health solutions - Data Collection, Data Storage, Data Sharing, and Cloud Services for e-Health - Analysis of e-Health products for compliance, security, performance Manuscript Submission ------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original scientific articles for review. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered. Papers should be tutorial in nature to help non-expert readers gain a good understanding of the topic. The papers should also discuss recent advances and future research topics. For further details, please refer to "Submission Guidelines" in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine website at: http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines. Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine guidelines for preparation of the manuscript and submit it via Manuscript Central http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm, selecting "Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications" as the topic.
