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.

Fwd: [Tccc] 2nd Workshop on Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks (coHetNets); SUBMISSION DEADLINE---> March 9, 2012

Bennis Mehdi <mehdi.bennis(a)gmail.com> schrieb: _____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Workshop on Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks (coHetNets) July 30 - August 2, 2012, Munich, Germany https://sites.google.com/site/cohetnet2012/ Collocated with: International Conference on Computer Communication Networks (ICCCN 2012) _____________________________________________ The proliferation of new applications, e.g. mobileTV, Internet gamming, large file transfer, and the development of user terminals, e.g., smart phones, notebooks, has dramatically increased user traffic and network load. Moreover, with the number of wireless subscribers expected to triple over the next five years, it is obvious that current networks will not be able to satisfy customer demands in the near future. In order to meet this traffic growth and provide service to their customers, vendors and operators are working on the development of new technologies and cellular standards. Within them, heterogeneity in network deployment has been heralded as the most promising way of increasing both the coverage and the capacity of future wireless systems. Thus, it is expected that new elements such as remote radio heads, picocells, femtocells, and relay nodes will be deployed overlying macrocells. Therefore, future networks are expected to be heterogeneous. In this way, networks will be closer to users, and system capacity will be enhanced through a better spatial spectrum reuse. However, although HetNets are envisioned to support the increasing data traffic demand and meet the requirements imposed for the fourth generation of mobile networks, they also lead to new technical challenges never faced before. For example, due to the larger number of cells and thus of cell boundaries, the management of interference becomes an intricate problem. Since centralized network planning and optimization cannot deal with the individualistic nature of user-deployed cells, e.g., femtocells, a key to the success of HetNets is the cooperation between nodes in a decentralized and distributed manner. Such cooperation is the only way to ensure a proper network operation. However, cooperation is not easy to achieve due to different issues and threats imposed by the network itself, e.g., limited back-haul capabilities, dynamics of traffic and radio channel, energy consumption, operational costs, etc. _____________________________________________ Main Topics: The target of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss all recent challenges and developments related to cooperation in HetNets, and establish future research directions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Collaborative techniques in macro/pico/femto-cellular networks. - Performance modeling and simulation for HetNets. - Cooperative communications between HetNet nodes. - Downlink and uplink PHY/MAC design for cooperative HetNets. - Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in HetNets. - Cognitive radio techniques in HetNets. - Mobility management in HetNets. - Load balancing in HetNets. - Restricted access versus open-access for low-power HetNet nodes. - Interference analysis, mitigation and avoidance in HetNets. - Power saving mechanism in HetNets. - Distributed radio resource management in cooperative HetNets. - Cooperative sensing techniques and feedback in HetNets. - Remote radio headers planning and deployment. - Expanded region picocells planning and deployment. - Cooperative relaying in HetNets. - eICIC techniques in LTE-Advanced HetNets. - MIMO techniques in HetNets. - Positioning and tracking systems based on HetNets. _____________________________________________ Instructions for Authors: Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS ( http://edas.info/ ) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages.

Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2012 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Ninth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2012) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

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).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Personal and Ubiquitous Computing SI on Cross-Community Mining Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:01:11 +0800 Von: Bin Guo <guobin.keio(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Special Issue of* *ACM/Springer Journal of "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC)"* *on Cross-Community Mining* *Introduction People now live in heterogeneous social communities within cyber-physical spaces - both online communities and social networks where digital content is exchanged, and ad hoc physical communities that exploit opportunistic relationships between pairs of networked devices to exchange content. These communities have distinct technical features which lead to distinct kinds of interaction - such as patterns of comments and likes in online communities and co-location in ad hoc communities, or issues of friendship, trust and influence in online communities and social popularity and movement patterns in ad hoc communities. Rather than viewing online communities and ad hoc communities as competing, we see them as complementary and suggest that cross-community mining (CCM) can connect these two communities by revealing hidden knowledge about the interplay between different communities and patterns of social interaction within and between them. This theme issue of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing provides the opportunity for researchers and product developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of CCM techniques and applications. Papers on theoretical, practical, methodological issues in Cross-Community Mining are welcome. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):  Inclusive Design Issues related to CCM  Forming Online Communities with Knowledge from Ad hoc Community  Enhancing Communications in Ad hoc Community with Online Community Knowledge  Knowledge Integration/Transfer among Communities  Infrastructure Support for CCM (managing heterogeneous/multi-dimensional data, seamlessly switch among distinct communities, etc.)  Evaluation Metrics for CCM *Submissions Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted by email to the Corresponding Guest Editor – Dr. Bin Guo. Please note in your cover letter the theme issue for which your submission is intended. Note: Manuscripts must not have been previously published or be submitted for publication elsewhere. Each submitted manuscript must include title, names, authors’ affiliations, postal and email addresses, an extended paper, and a list of keywords.
