-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Wirelesss Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:39:13 +1200 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: EHJChong(a)ntu.edu.sg CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Technologies for Green Radio Communication Networks IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Since 2006, data traffic on wireless networks has grown by approximately 400% and is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming years. The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today's communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: . Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks . Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks . Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks . Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. . Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques . Self-organizing/optimizing networks . Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs . Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management . Regulation and standardization . Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes . Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks . Operators' experience . Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization . Energy minimization of system-wide components . Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic. Electronic submissions in PDF format is strongly encouraged and should be sent by email to ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg with cc to all the guest editors. Important Dates . Manuscripts Due: March 1, 2011 .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Feature Topic Issue of IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:46:33 +0800 Von: Jun Zheng <junzheng(a)seu.edu.cn> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on The Internet of Things The Internet has experienced a tremendous growth in the past three decades, evolving from a network of a few hundred hosts to a platform linking billions of “things” globally, including individual people as well as enterprises of various sizes, through computers of any conceivable size and capability and the applications running on them. The growth of Internet shows no signs of slowing down and it steadily becomes the cause of a new pervasive paradigm in computing and communications. This new paradigm enhances the traditional Internet into a smart Internet of Things (IoT) created around intelligent interconnections of diverse objects in the physical world, such as vehicles, cellphones, habitats and habitat occupants, through low-cost information gathering devices, such as sensors and RFID tags, that facilitate fast-paced interactions among the objects themselves as well as the objects and persons in any place and at any time. IoT will usher a wide range of smart applications and services to cope with many of the challenges that individuals and organizations face in their everyday lives. For example, remote healthcare monitoring systems will help alleviate the severe shortage of healthcare personnel in an ageing society; intelligent transportation systems will help reduce traffic congestion and inevitably ills caused by it such as air-pollution; smart distribution systems from utility grids to supply chains will improve the quality and reduce the cost of their respective goods and services; tagged objects can be recycled more efficiently by being retrieved from bulk waste disposal, and so on. These applications would dramatically change the way our societies function and thus have a big impact on many aspects of people’s life in the years to come. IoT is not a mere extension of today’s Internet or an internet of Internet systems. It represents intelligent end-to-end systems that enable smart solutions and as such it covers a diverse range of technologies, including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing, and intelligent control technologies. To make IoT a reality, significant research needs to be conducted within and across these technological aspects of IoT. This has recently motivated a voluminous amount of research activities in the hot field and this Feature Topic Issue intends to capture and expose it to the IEEE ComMag readership. Scope of the issue This feature topic issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art development in technology, application, and standardization in the field of the Internet of Things, and present an insight of future research opportunities and challenges in this field. The feature issue will consider original survey and research articles written in a tutorial style. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system architectures of IoT * Sensing technologies for IoT * Short-range Communications for IoT * Sensor networking technologies for IoT * Access network technologies for IoT * Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT * RFID applications in IoT * Smart grid applications in IoT * Healthcare applications in IoT * Environmental monitoring applications in IoT * Intelligent transportation applications in IoT * Public safety in IoT * Security and privacy management for IoT * Application systems and testbeds for IoT * Standardization activities for IoT Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts in PDF format electronically via the Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com).

As a result, most of the public places such as airports, train stations, banks, shopping malls, subways and streets are nowadays equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia surveillance systems. These systems are meant to process the sensory data to automatically detect the suspicious or unusual behavior of the people and alert the security personnel so that a preventive action can be taken. Although this surveillance infrastructure has proved to be highly useful from a security perspective; there has been apprehension among people in regard to their privacy safeguards. Citizens have increasingly begun to object to being watched electronically. Hence, there is a need of preserving privacy of people yet providing them a sense of security through effective surveillance. Although there has been a significant progress in the field of surveillance research, the issues related to people's privacy have often been overlooked in the past and have only begun to attract the attention of researchers very recently. The goal of this issue is to bring forth the recent advancements in the privacy research for multimedia surveillance. Original and unpublished contributions covering the following and related issues concerned with privacy in multi-sensor multimedia surveillance settings are solicited: · Privacy considerations in acquisition and transmission of multimedia data · Privacy issues in multimedia information processing: fusion, analysis, presentation, and publication of multimedia data · Privacy in multimedia databases: storage, access, indexing and retrieval · Theory and models: assessment of privacy and utility, privacy leakage and covert channels · Ethical and legal issues of privacy Submission Details —------------------- Submitting authors should follow the Author Guidelines available from http://www.ifi.uio.no/MMSJ/author.html. All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. Guest Editors —------------- Pradeep K. Atrey, University of Winnipeg, Canada Mohan S.

In turn, recent theoretic advances such as cognitive radio processing, compressive sampling, multiterminal MIMO networks, or distributed and cooperative algorithms are currently undergoing intense research effort towards their practical implementation, as evidenced from a plethora of exciting European and national funded projects and consortiums (e.g. NEWCOM++, MIMAX, COGNAC, COMONSENS, REWIND, ARTIST4G, QOSMOS, SACRA, OneFIT, SAPHYRE, ACROPOLIS, EUWB, QASAR). In light of this vibrant activity, the third edition of the International ICST Conference on Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems (MOBILIGHT 2011) will feature first-rate theoretical and practical research around the latest advances on information, data and signal processing for wireless communications. MOBILIGHT 2011 will be held in Bilbao (Bizkaia, Basque Country, Spain), a beautiful venue internationally recognized for business, trading and its devotion to first-level R&D, as buttressed by more than two hundred technology-based companies and R&D centers established in the region. MOBILIGHT 2011 targets information exchange and cross-fertilization among academia, research centers and industry through the organization of four complementary tracks, which will compile significant advances on the design of wireless and mobile communications systems. Fundamental research on PHY and network layers will be complemented with a 3rd track covering experimental results and performance evaluation of in-lab testbeds. Besides, contributions on novel mobile services and applications under the "always-on" operational principle will also be considered in a 4th track. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: TRACK 1: Information, Data and Signal Processing for Wireless Communications - Information-theoretic limits of multiterminal communication scenarios - Coding theory and techniques - Multiuser detection and interference cancellation - Equalization, channel estimation and synchronization - MIMO and beamforming techniques - Cognitive sensing and radio transmission (including resource allocation and scheduling, cooperative spectrum monitoring, multiobjective optimization, data fusion.) - Distributed (Slepian-Wolf-like) source coding - Iterative (Turbo-like) detection and decoding - Random matrix analysis and free probability theory - Game theory applied to communications - Genetic/heuristic/evolutionary methods for wireless networks - Decentralized and cooperative algorithms for communication and sensor networks (distributed detection and estimation, consensus, distributed control, localization, positioning, navigation and tracking, etc.) - Machine-learning techniques applied to communications - Recent advances in data processing (sampling, compression, compressive sensing, etc...) - Applications of dynamical systems in communications - Physical layer security (secrecy capacity, key generation) -Green communications (energy efficient modulation, coding, resource allocation) TRACK 2: Information Networking - Wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) technology - Congestion and flow control - Practical network coding - Opportunistic routing approaches - Decentralized routing and MAC algorithms - Soft Computing techniques in network topology problems - Artificial Intelligent methods in access control. - Mobility and network management, reliability and - security -Multimedia transmission - ARQ methods and their analysis - Relay-based multihop networking - Quality-of-Service provisioning TRACK 3: Implementations and Testbeds - Prototyping of digital communication equipments - Development of hardware MIMO testbeds and performance evaluation - On-site demonstration of avant-garde cognitive radio systems - In-lab performance evaluation TRACK 4: Mobile Services and Applications - Anytime, Anywhere, Any device - Interactive multimedia - Ambient assisted living - Usability and HMI - Location and context aware services - Seamless roaming - Emerging and next generation services **************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES: **************************************************************** Proposals for Workshops, Special Sessions, Tutorials: December 22, 2010 Submission of papers due: January 28, 2011 Notification of acceptance: March 18, 2011 Final manuscript due: April 2, 2011 Conference date: May 9-11, 2011 **************************************************************** Organizing Committee **************************************************************** Conference General Co-Chairs: Eduard Jorswieck (TU Dresden, Germany) Javier Del Ser (TECNALIA, Spain) Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marja Matinmikko (VTT, Finland) Joaquin Miguez (University Carlos III Madrid, Spain) Daniel Palomar (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong) Workshop / Special Sessions Co-Chairs: Sancho Salcedo-Sanz (University of Alcala, Spain) Thomas Haustein (FhG-HHI, Germany) Tutorial Co-Chairs: Alejandro Ribeiro (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Carlos Escudero (University of A Coru?a, Spain) Publications Chair: Sergio Gil-Lopez (TECNALIA, Spain) Publicity Co-Chairs: Christos Verikoukis (CTTC, Spain) Manuel Vazquez (University Carlos III, Spain) Martin Haardt (TU Ilmenau, Germany) Panel Chair: Josep Vidal (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain) Local Arrangements Chair: Jose M.
