-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MOBISENSOR'2012 - CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:02:49 +0200 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS 3nd International Workshop on Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks (MOBISENSOR'2012) in conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) May 18, 2012 Hangzhou, China WEB SITE: <http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/MobiSensor2012/> http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/MobiSensor2012/ AIMS AND SCOPE Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer unprecedented capabilities for integrating sensing with computing and communication as well as for distributed sensing, coordination and control. While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre©\ determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi©\hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to highlight the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor©\actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent©\based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility©\assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences PROGRAM CO©\CHAIRS: Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr) University of Piraeus, Greece Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr) Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr) University of the Aegean, Greece TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE: Kemal Akkaya (Southern Illinois at Carbondale, USA), Stefano Basagni (Northeastern University, USA) Paolo Bellavista (Universit¨¤ di Bologna, Italy), Ioannis Chatzigiannakis (Computer Technology Institute, Greece) Cheng©\Fu Chou (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA), Martin Haenggi (University of Notre Dame, USA), Chi©\Fu Huang (National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan), Victor Leung (Univeristy of British Columbia, Canada), Jun Luo (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Edith Ngai (Uppsala University, Sweden), Sotiris Nikolitseas (University of Patras, Greece), Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy), Hairong Qi (University of Tennessee, USA), Binoy Ravindran (Virginia Tech, USA), Jens Schmitt (University of Kaiserslautern, Germany), Anthony Stefanidis (George Mason University, USA), Damla Turgut (University of Central Florida, USA), Pramod K.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MobileHealth'2012 - 2nd ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Parvasive Wirless Healthcare Datum: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:42:10 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu === Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP === CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MobileHealth 2012 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2012/ The Second ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2012 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2012/ June 11-14, 2012. Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope of the workshop ----------------------- Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second edition of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina - USA on June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Mobile devices for healthcare - Wearable and Implantable Wireless sensors for healthcare - Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps - Protocols for wireless healthcare - Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps - Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Energy Efficiency in Wireless health monitoring - Pervasive Health Systems and Services - Authentication and Sensors' monitoring - Confidentiality and Data Security - Mobile Interfaces for Data Visualization - Realizations and Platforms - Standards for mobile healthcare Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted regular papers must be up to 10 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X 11 inches) and short papers up to 4 pages including text, figures and references. It should be in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:15:25 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Information-Centric Networking Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/icn.php ====================================================================== The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Call for Papers This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. - Topics • Naming and addressing • Routing and name resolution • Routing and name resolution scalability • Support for mobility • Support for / avoidance of middle boxes • Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) • Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) • Security, privacy and trust • Testbeds and simulations frameworks • Metadata and network extensions • Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) • PDUs, fragmentation and "packet size" implications on design • Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay? • Performance evaluation • Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) • Limitations of ICNs - Submission Instructions All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at athttp://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking (HotSDN) Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:11:17 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking (HotSDN) Helsinki, Finland (August 13, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/hotsdn.php ====================================================================== Call for Papers Software Defined Networking (SDN) refactors the relationship between network devices and the software that controls them. Open interfaces to network switches enable more flexible and predictable network control, and they make it easier to extend network function. During the past few years, several router vendors have introduced software development kits for programming their network devices, and several commercial switches now support the emerging OpenFlow standard. Researchers have proposed new applications that can run on top of a software defined network, including dynamic access control, server load balancing, energy-efficient networking, and seamless client mobility and virtual-machine migration. Many research and industry groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of software defined networking, and experimental and production deployments exist. Still, many important research challenges remain: how to design switches and APIs that offer greater flexibility without compromising performance; how to design a software platform for the control and management of software defined networks; how to design new applications that capitalize on the programmability of the network; how to lower the barrier to creating, testing, and evaluating new applications; how to transition an existing network to SDN, and how a software defined network can interoperate with existing protocols and devices; and many others. The goal of the workshop is to explore recent research and developments related to SDN; to allow an exchange of ideas; to encourage broad interaction between industry and academia; and to help build a wider community to explore and realize the potential of SDN. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on Software Defined Networking. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, and backbone networks • Application of SDN to network management, performance monitoring, security, etc. • Virtual appliances (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) on SDN • Virtualization support in software-defined networks • Switch designs for SDN • Application Programming Interfaces for SDN • Control and management software stack for SDN • Programming languages, verification techniques, and tools for SDN • Performance evaluation of SDN network elements and controllers • Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks • Hybrid SDN approaches (integration with other control planes) • Transitioning existing networks to SDN • Placement and factoring of SDN control logic - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. - Important Dates Submissions due April 6, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 25, 2012 Camera ready version due June 15, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the program chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Nick Feamster (Georgia Tech) Jennifer Rexford (Princeton) Program Committee Members Katerina Argyraki (EPFL) Jun Bi (Tsinghua University) Marco Canini (EPFL) Martin Casado (Nicira) Anja Feldmann (T-Labs/TU Berlin) Nate Foster (Cornell) Yashar Ganjali (U.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet) Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:07:39 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet) Helsinki, Finland (Monday August 13, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cellnet.php ====================================================================== Call for Papers With the popularity of smart phones and tablets, we are living in an increasingly mobile world. Third-party mobile applications such as Apple Siri, iCloud, and Yelp are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The eco-system for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. Even one of the most popular mobile OS -- Android operation system is open source. This allows many phone and tablet vendors to innovate on the hardware and firmware. Underpinning this mobile world, it is the cellular networks. Unfortunately, the cellular networks present a rather disheartening picture. They are closed, mostly proprietary, and constructed using closed monolithic equipments. The innovation is limited to a very small number of equipment vendors, not open to the general research community. As a result, cellular networks are prone to outages, dropped calls, performance problems, and hard to manage. The closed nature of cellular networks threatens to derail the mobile revolution or limit its true potential. Research innovation in mobile cellular networks is hampered by the fact that most academic researchers have no access to cellular radios, source codes of cellular network equipments, cellular network management tools, and realistic network traces at scale. As a result, most wireless research is conducted using WiFi. We believe this situation much change. To effect change, this workshop brings network operators, and academic researchers together to address the problems. First, we would like academic researchers to understand operational aspects of cellular network. Second, we would like researchers from academia and industry to jointly identify the challenges, and propose future designs so that cellular networks can evolve to meet the growing challenges of a mobile world. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on cellular networks. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Operation aspects: • Radio resource allocation and usage profiling • Cellular network architecture characterization • Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic • Cellular network security • Challenges facing today's cellular networks: • Cellular network management • Mobility • Energy efficiency • Spectrum shortage • Future cellular network design: • Architectures • Protocols • Algorithms • Security and privacy - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. - Important Dates Paper Registration March 23, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Submissions due March 30, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 11, 2012 Camera ready version due June 1, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the general chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Li Erran Li (Bell Labs) Z.
