-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Computer Communications journal: Special Issue on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:12:01 +0100 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi<valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ========================== CALL FOR PAPERS =========================== Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Information-Centric Networking ====================================================================== Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is proposed as an architecture for the future Internet. The basic idea is to make units of information accessible to the networking protocols and turn them into the unit of networking. Main advantages are conjectured to come from a much better support for mobility, data security, as well as caching and replication. ICN has by now been investigated in a number of projects. This special issue aims to collect new, innovative material on the theory, the design, and the practical applicability of ICN. In particular, material that advances the level of maturity, scalability and real-life dependability of ICN are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Analytic models for the behavior of information-centric networking, especially for scalability properties - Models for workloads (both amount of traffic as well as kinds and size of objects along with request patterns) - Capacity analysis of ICN - Caching in ICN, in particular, cache placement and cache management (e.g., replacement algorithms) along with resource management for caches, links, and routers - Coexistence of ICN protocol stacks with legacy stacks (e.g., IP) as well as coexistence of multiple ICNs with each other on the same network fabric - Suitability of ICN for all kinds of workloads, in particular, streaming and interactive multimedia workloads - Security in ICN - Mobility support by ICN - Energy efficiency of ICN - Active objects in ICN, adding functionality and execution semantics to information objects - Consistency and coherence models for replicated, static or active information objects, along with revision handling and updating protocols - Structuring applications on top of ICN (both legacy and possible new applications) as well as suitable application programming interfaces (complementing or replacing a "socket"-style interface standard) - Interoperability between different ICN solutions - Practical experience, test-beds, open-source software Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: April. 15, 2012 Author notification: June 30, 2012 Revised paper due: July 31, 2012 Final author notification: September 1, 2012 Guest Editors Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science Holger Karl, Universitat Paderborn Dirk Kutscher, NEC Laboratories, Europe Lixia Zhang, UCLA Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

However, a battery-powered system has a finite operation time. Power supplies using energy- harvesting devices apparently open the door to unlimited and uninterrupted operation. This requires a dedicated power management that predicts available power budgets and aims at maximizing performance metrics for a given budget. Power management encompasses many facets, such as power leakage, radio duty cycle, sampling rates, harvesting efficiency, energy intake prediction, etc. WORKSHOP FORMAT AND TOPICS The focus of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing intermediate research results and for vivid exchange of ideas. It is also intended to identify required steps and promising future research directions within scope in order to push the penetration power of energy-harvesting sensor networks one step forward. For that purpose, we particularly enencourage preliminary contributions by Ph.D. students in addition to completed work. In addition to paper presentations, there will be a poster and demo session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Power management concepts for energy harvesting systems - Power-aware scheduling, algorithms, and operating systems - Network-wide and distributed energy management - Energy-aware network planning (e.g., routing, duty-cycle adaptation) - Scaling laws and fundamental limits - Energy and performance profiling - Online accounting of energy consumption - Energy-harvesting prototypes - Energy storage and buffers - Models of energy harvesters - Methods for energy intake prediction - Real-world deployments and field tests Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a blind review process. Papers will be selected according to their relation to the workshop scope, novelty, and quality of presentation. Diversity of workshop topics will also be considered.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ Subject of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which makes it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time, the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in the emergence of Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders, whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but he might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging paradigm that transmits events captured by low-end machines such as sensors and smart meters, to high-end applications that translate the captured events into meaningful information. Data generally flows from a machine over a wired, wireless, or hybrid network and then through a gateway to a system where it can be automatically reviewed and actions may be taken without any interaction from an operator. M2M is used in a wide range of applications such as remote e-healthcare, smart homes, utility management, and industrial automation. Connecting different WSNs/part of a WSN is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance, where an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as connectivity issues in WSNs.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies) Additional information about this workshop: **** Together with four other workshops, PWSN will take place in conjunction with DCOSS2012 and have two great common workshop keynotes by Professors Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada and Sajal Das, University of Texas. **** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2012/ May 18 2012, Hangzhou, China In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.
