Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) Datum: Mon, 21 May 2012 02:18:39 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] International Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012 http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Scope: In recent years, there is growing demand for data traffic on next generation wireless networks due to the proliferation of data hungry applications (e.g. streaming video, interactive traffic flows, etc) and emergence of smart terminal devices and their applications, such as smart grids, mobile cloud services, advanced healthcare systems, intelligent transportation systems. On the other hand, need for ubiquitous computing and high mobility support also become evident as users are more and more asking for “any-time any-where” connectivity. Hence, an important challenge for telecom vendors and operators is devising and deploying cost-effective yet high capacity infrastructures, which support also large coverage and high mobility. Such a challenge puts forward an ever enlarging set of problems, both on intra-technology as well as inter-technology domains, putting integration challenges also in the picture. This workshop focuses on design and deployment issues of next generation wireless infrastructures, potentially made up of heterogeneous access technologies, supporting a wide range of applications and user needs in a coherent and unified manner. This workshop will bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia in all aspects of next generation wireless networks. Subjects of interests include, but are not limited to: - Heterogeneous network (HetNets) deployment strategies - Business models, network management and offloading strategies for user-deployed infrastructure - Distributed algorithms and protocols for policy control in heterogeneous communication technologies - Energy-efficient network architectures and protocols, resource management techniques - System Architectures and Applications for Smart Grid - Smart Grid Communication Networks and System Simulators - Experiences from real-world wireless network deployment, test-bed and field trials - Innovative mobile application frameworks for seamless integration - Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and technologies in heterogeneous networks - Coverage and capacity issues in future wireless cellular networks - Mobile cloud service models for high mobility - Data mining and large-scale mobile data management techniques in facilitating heterogeneous access - QoS (Quality-of-Service), scalability and reliability issues in heterogeneous networks - Unified security, trust and privacy issues Submission: For submission instructions please visit workshop site at http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Important dates: - Paper Submission Deadline: May 27th, 2012 - Notification of Acceptance: June 18th, 2012 - Camera Ready Paper and Registration Due: July 2nd, 2012 Workshop Chairs: Dr. Salih Ergüt (AveaLabs) (salih.ergut(a)avea.com.tr) Prof. Raghupathy Sivakumar (Georgia Institute of Technology) (siva(a)ece.gatech.edu) Program Chairs: Dr. Çagri Güngör (Bahçesehir University) (cagri.gungor(a)bahcesehir.edu.tr) Dr. Zhu Han (University of Houston) (zhan2(a)mail.uh.edu) Dr. Zafer Sahinoglu (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories) (zafer(a)merl.com) Dr. Hamed Mohsenian-Rad (Texas Tech University) (hamed.mohsenian-rad(a)ttu.edu) Publicity Chair: Dr. Can Vuran (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) (mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu) -- -- M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine Communications - Deadline: June 4, 2012 Datum: Fri, 18 May 2012 09:00:26 +0200 Von: Carles Anton-Haro <carles.anton(a)cttc.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ************************************************* * Our apologies for multiple and cross-postings * ************************************************* Call for Papers Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine: An Emerging Communication Paradigm Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) (formerly known as European Transactions on Telecommunications) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915 ----- !! Manuscripts due : June 4, 2012 !! ----- ----- !! Publication date : Q1/2013 !! ----- Aim and Scope: -------------- In recent years, the number of networked machines and/or devices, such as those encountered in automatic meter readers, vending machines, or in remote monitoring applications; has dramatically increased. As a result, we have witnessed the emergence of the so-called paradigm of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M devices are often characterized by very modest data rates, low mobility and stringent cost requirements, along with the need to communicate over a wide area. Besides, in the coming years, M2M devices are expected to significantly outnumber voice and (often bandwidth-hungry) data terminals. All this entails a major re-design of future cellular networks, which were originally conceived with human-to-human communications in mind. This opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, security and inter-networking architectures. To this end, the European Telecommunication Standards Institute's M2M Technical Committee has proposed a hybrid architecture whereby cellular-enabled gateways act as traffic aggregation and protocol translation points for their capillary (i.e. wireless sensor) networks. Capillary networks, in turn, are composed of a potentially high number of devices (namely, sensors and actuators) equipped with short-range radio interfaces, often compliant IEEE802.15.4-related standards. Current standardization activities in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) encompass a number of optimizations specifically addressing machine-type communication needs. Moreover, IPSO (IP for Smart Objects) is assembling a protocol stack from standards being finalized at the IEEE and IETF. This special issue aims at gathering recent advances in the areas of advanced M2M communication systems, and technologies, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, IETF and IPSO. Topics of Interest: ------------------- The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Scalable system architecture and components - Channel and traffic modeling and methodology - Optimization of radio access technologies and protocols for M2M communications - Interworking and routing protocols for M2M networks - Device and mobility management - Data aggregation techniques and architectures for massive M2M networks - Low-latency and energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-harvesting techniques for M2M devices - Security, trust, reliability and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Emulation, test-beds, and field trials - Regulatory issues Submission instructions: ------------------------ The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….

Fwd: ACM CHANTS 2012 - Paper Registration Deadline Extended to May 20, 2012

"Kravets, Robin Hillary" <rhk(a)ILLINOIS.EDU> schrieb: Thanks rhk [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for ACM CHANTS 2012 The 7th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2012 August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. After the success of the previous Workshop on Delay-tolerant Networking (WDTN-05) and the Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS'06), CHANTS'07, CHANTS'08, CHANTS'09, CHANTS'10 and CHANTS'11, this year CHANTS will take place jointly with ACM MobiCom 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos addressing the following topics: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Full paper submission guidelines All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages with 10 point font and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings. Important dates Full paper abstract registration deadline: May 27, 2012 Submission deadline: June 3, 2012 Authors notification: June 25, 2012 Camera-ready: July 2, 2012 Early conference registration deadline: July 2, 2012 Workshop date: August 22, 2012 Demo submission deadline: July 1. We look forward to your submissions!
