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 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Workshop Organizers: - Christian Renner (Hamburg University of Technology) - Volker Turau (Hamburg University of Technology) - Christoph Weyer (Hamburg University of Technology) Technical Program Committee: - Mustafa Imran Ali (University of Southampton) - Davide Brunelli (University of Trento) - Hannes Frey (University of Paderborn) - Maria Gorlatova (Columbia University, New York) - Anton Hergenröder (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) - Philipp Hurni (University of Bern) - Daniele Puccinelli (University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland) - Christian Renner (Hamburg University of Technology) - Kay Römer (University of Lübeck) - Ivan Stojmenovic (University of Ottawa) - Khiem Trieu (Hamburg University of Technology) - Volker Turau (Hamburg University of Technology) - Christoph Weyer (Hamburg University of Technology) - Piero Zappi (University of California, San Diego) - Bo Zhang (George Mason University) For information: enhanss2012(a)tu-harburg.de -- __Christian_Renner________________________________________________________ Hamburg University of Technology christian.renner(a)tu-harburg.de Institute of Telematics (E-17) Tel.: (+49) 40 42878-3746 Schwarzenbergstrasse 95 Fax: (+49) 40 42878-2581 21073 Hamburg, Germany http://www.ti5.tu-harburg.de/staff/renner _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SNS 2012: deadline extended to 18 February 2012. Datum: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 13:05:08 +0100 Von: Davide Frey <davide.frey(a)inria.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] Due to a number of requests, we have extended the paper submission deadline to Saturday, 18 February 2012. Please disseminate this update to your colleagues and students. =================================================================== Call For Papers Social Network Systems 2012 In conjunction with EuroSys 2012 Bern Switzerland, 10 April 2012 http://www.cambridgeplus.net/SNS12 The 5th Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS 2012) will gather researchers to discuss novel ideas about computer systems and social networks. Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. Online social networks provide mechanisms for establishing online identities and creating relationships. The resulting social graph provides a network for maintaining social relationships and for locating content, with the potential of changing computer systems and applications, for example, by providing new means to publish and find content as well as new ways to reason about trust. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference, since the research issues with online social networks span the topics of distributed computing, databases, and storage systems as well as security and privacy. This workshop will focus on the systems issues of online social networks. Broadly, a systems issue of social networks comprises three main areas: 1. Infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems). 2. Ways of leveraging social networks in systems design. 3. Measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Management and querying of large social graphs. • Graph query engines and query optimization for online processing. • Support for consistency among concurrent readers and writers to a large distributed social graph. • Partitioning large social graphs. • Data storage and organization. • Benchmarking, modeling, and workload characterization. • Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. • Experiences with deployed systems. • Leveraging social network properties in systems design. • Issues of privacy and security. • Tools for designing and deploying social networks. • Application programming interfaces for social networks. • System support for social analytics and network dynamics. • Methods for integrating multiple networks. • Performance measurement and analysis of online social networks systems. Proceedings will be published in the ACM digital library. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions may not exceed 6 pages double column, including everything (i.e., figures, tables, references, appendices, etc.), and should use a 10pt font (so specify \documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{sigplanconf}).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM HotPlanet workshop in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2012 Datum: Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:43:26 +0100 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)inria.fr> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Paper (CFP)] ***************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS ACM HotPlanet 2012 - The 4th ACM International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-Scale Measurement June 25, Low Wood Bay, Lake District, UK http://www.hotplanetconf.net ***************************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Full paper and demo registration deadline: March 18, 2012 Submission deadline: March 23, 2012 Authors notification: April 25, 2012 Camera-ready: May 1, 2012 Registration deadline: May 10, 2012 Workshop date: June 25, 2012 SCOPE It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad-hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: . Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology . Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets . Techniques for mobility data storage and processing . Knowledge discovery from mobility data . Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling . Planet-scale data collection infrastructures . Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection . Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale . Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection . Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. 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 and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

Accurate measurements of practical wireless deployments are vital for researchers to evaluate the real-world performance of proposed solutions. In addition to better understanding of systems, experimental wireless network measurements allow for better analytical and simulation models which are often limited by simplified protocol and wireless channel models. As a consequence, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the wireless networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt 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. We seek novel papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Experimentations and measurements of wireless networks: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating wireless networks (including location and energy consumption) * Measurement and characterization of mobile network (e.g., traffic, usage and mobility patterns) * Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models in actual wireless environments * Measurements-driven models and simulations of wireless networks operations * Measurements-based network management and troubleshooting * Large-scale or federated test-bed measurements * Home networking measurements - Techniques for wireless networks measurements: * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Techniques for validating the results obtained in wireless testbeds * Techniques for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds (e.g., wireless link emulation) * 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 or journal. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE conference double column format, 10pt) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted). The submitted manuscript should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info//N11509). Only PDF files are acceptable. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Social Network Systems 2012: deadline approaching Datum: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:23:26 +0100 Von: Davide Frey <davide.frey(a)inria.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. =================================================================== Call For Papers Social Network Systems 2012 In conjunction with EuroSys 2012 Bern Switzerland, 10 April 2012 http://www.cambridgeplus.net/SNS12 The 5th Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS 2012) will gather researchers to discuss novel ideas about computer systems and social networks. Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. Online social networks provide mechanisms for establishing online identities and creating relationships. The resulting social graph provides a network for maintaining social relationships and for locating content, with the potential of changing computer systems and applications, for example, by providing new means to publish and find content as well as new ways to reason about trust. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference, since the research issues with online social networks span the topics of distributed computing, databases, and storage systems as well as security and privacy. This workshop will focus on the systems issues of online social networks. Broadly, a systems issue of social networks comprises three main areas: 1. Infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems). 2. Ways of leveraging social networks in systems design. 3. Measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Management and querying of large social graphs. • Graph query engines and query optimization for online processing. • Support for consistency among concurrent readers and writers to a large distributed social graph. • Partitioning large social graphs. • Data storage and organization. • Benchmarking, modeling, and workload characterization. • Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. • Experiences with deployed systems. • Leveraging social network properties in systems design. • Issues of privacy and security. • Tools for designing and deploying social networks. • Application programming interfaces for social networks. • System support for social analytics and network dynamics. • Methods for integrating multiple networks. • Performance measurement and analysis of online social networks systems. Proceedings will be published in the ACM digital library. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions may not exceed 6 pages double column, including everything (i.e., figures, tables, references, appendices, etc.), and should use a 10pt font (so specify \documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{sigplanconf}). Papers must be formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style, for which templates are available for both LaTeX and Word ( http://eurosys2012.unibe.ch/submissions ). Please number pages.
