According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: 1. Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. 2. The creation of value-added services, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M concepts: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of largescale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 x 11 inches] in IEEE format).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 14:40:56 +0100 Von: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Organisation: MBI S.r.l. An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://goo.gl/3226Ml) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions. Manuscripts must be written in English, contain substantial tutorial content, and be accessible to a broad general audience working in other fields. Please submit manuscripts to Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee, and select the category "January 2015/Extremely Dense Wireless Networks." ** IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript Submission Due: May 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: November 1, 2014 Publication Date: January 2015 ** GUEST EDITORS David Chieng, MIMOS Berhad (Malaysia) Claudio Cicconetti, MBI S.r.l.

E-health is recognized as the most important and promising among these applications for its potential for health monitoring of chronic illnesses, lifesaving in emergency situations, and its ability to provide round the clock healthcare to rural and disadvantaged areas. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are the key enabler of remote and in-hospital health monitoring and are expected to revolutionize the health and real-time body monitoring industry. WBAN technology has quickly attracted a lot of attention from researchers, practitioners and clinicians as well as mobile health related data managers. The main objective of WBAN is to provide cost-effective, flexible, and secure use of biotelemetry information and communication technologies to support both medical and non-medical applications. This technology enables ambient assisted living by providing more freedom to the elderly, disabled, and chronic illness sufferers. Moreover, it can be rapidly deployed in emergency and disaster situations facilitating faster and more accurate remote diagnosis of victims. WBAN technology unleashes the possibilities and potentials for personalized medicine which promises to revolutionize healthcare that will have a significant societal and economic impact and improve the citizens’ quality of life, particularly in future smart cities. However, WBAN applications present several challenges for the research community including: passive non-intrusive and power utilisation design issues, security and reliability with regards to the integrity of the acquired biotelemetry data and the real-time transmission of the monitored data using QoS aware techniques. Moreover, new emerging applications, which consider critical flows, are gaining more and more popularity in various activity domains. This workshop seeks to bring together leading academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and clinicians to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results related to WBANs based medical and non-medical applications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Wireless-Info] [CFP] (IoTIP-14) International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (LAST WEEK) Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 11:11:32 +0100 Von: Valeria Loscri <vloscri(a)DEIS.UNICAL.IT> Antwort an: Valeria Loscri <vloscri(a)DEIS.UNICAL.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-14) May 25-27, 2014 Marina Del Rey, USA https://iotip2014.hds.utc.fr/ Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 9th, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 1st, 2014 Camera Ready Due: April 13th, 2014 Workshop Date: May 28th, 2014 Call for papers Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: ‐ IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies ‐ IoT systems and components ‐ IoT for semantic web and personalization ‐ Tools for developing IoT applications ‐ Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT ‐ Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT ‐ Security and privacy control mechanisms ‐ Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) ‐ PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications ‐ MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT ‐ Mobility management ‐ Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability ‐ Object, device and service management ‐ RFID, sensors, actuator technologies ‐ Middleware ‐ Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) ‐ Test-beds and field trials ‐ Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: ‐ Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; ‐ Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.
