-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] [CFP] Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications, in conjunction with IEEE SECON 2014 Datum: Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:25:51 +0100 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)inria.fr> Organisation: INRIA An: IoT list <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications June 30, 2014 Co-located with IEEE SECON 2014 in Singapore Scope: ------ This workshop will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications, co-located with IEEE SECON 2014 in Singapore. First, for wireless sensor networks, which operate at ultra-low-power, the small wireless autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power that is scavenged in milliwatts or even microwatts. If these wireless sensors, deployed throughout a home or factory, in-building or even outdoors to monitor all kinds of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace nor labour costs associated with replacing them, making them self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the fluctuating and often unpredictable availability of energy source. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grids allows further efficient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this workshop is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has significant benefits to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This workshop considers energy harvesting related issues in communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. The workshop solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. The main sub-areas of interest include, but not limited to: - Energy-harvesting base-station / relay / access point; - Energy-harvesting and energy-efficient machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; - Low-power and energy-harvesting wireless sensor network; - Light (solar), thermal, vibration, RF, motion, wind energy harvesting; - Wireless charging; - Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling; - Energy harvesting applications. Paper submission due: ———————————————— March 17, 2014 Acceptance by April 30, 2014 Final manuscript due May 12, 2014 Workshop date June 30, 2014 Papers must be submitted electronically via the EDAS system under the Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications for SECON 2014 at http://edas.info/N16975.

In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. "CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency management, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations. Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cybersecurity challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, Internet of Things, SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure Networks, Transportation Systems, Medical Devices are all welcome.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 Datum: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 03:24:43 +0000 Von: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 (June 16, 2014) Despite the rapid rise in online activity, people lead much of their lives in the physical world. They travel to places, dwell at various locations, spend time with other people, shop, go to the gym, watch movies, and listen to music or are exposed to announcements, all of which is often based on what interests them. Therefore, there is much to be learnt about users from their physical actions and activities, which is often not manifested in their online activity. Such insights can be of benefit both to users directly and to businesses. While huge strides have been made in online analytics to extract a wealth of information from peoples' online activities, corresponding work in the physical context - which we term as Physical Analytics - is relatively nascent and scattered. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to have a conversation on Physical Analytics, with a view to coalescing a research agenda for the community. Our intention is keep the scope broad - spanning devices, algorithms, systems, applications, and policy - yet have the discourse be focused on physical analytics. The workshop will include invited talks, a panel, and refereed papers, with as much time devoted to discussion as to the presentations themselves. For more information, please visit the workshop website at: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/workshops/physicalanalytics Program Co-Chairs: Deborah Estrin (Cornell Tech, USA) Venkat Padmanabhan (Microsoft Research, India) Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 24, 2014 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Workshop date: June 16, 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

The previous workshop RITMAN 2012 was held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2012), December 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan. Disaster management is a multi-phase process, from mitigation, to preparedness, response, recovery, to reconstruction. RITMAN workshops focus primarily on preparedness, response and recovery phases. In recent years, we have seen tremendous advances in technologies for the predication and detection of natural disasters. Many standards and tools have enabled interoperability of diverse sensors, sensor networks and web services. Open platforms and message exchange standards have emerged to facilitate alert delivery and support response operations. Despite these advances, statistics on natural disasters still show that even technologically advanced regions are not as well prepared and resilient against calamitous events that bring damage, destruction and loss of property and life. RITMAN workshop series aims to provide researchers and developers with a forum for the purpose of stimulating discussions and collaborations on missing ICT and novel applications that can enhance preparedness and resiliency against disasters, especially events of unforeseen sizes and severity. The central theme of RITMAN 2014 will be the exploitation of wireless and mobile technologies for disaster preparedness and response. Topics of interest include but not limited to the following: - Disaster resilient communication - Responsive messaging services during mega disasters - Technology for crowdsourcing disaster surveillance sensor data - Assessment and reduction of uncertainty in disaster information - Mobile device based cloud - Cyber-physical devices and applications for disaster preparedness and response - Integration of resources and information in cyber and physical spaces - Privacy protection of rescue/emergency information - Disaster information system for resilient communities PAPER SUBMISSION -------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 4 (IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5" x 11", two-column format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. Februar 2014 18:39:08 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing *Call for Papers:**Computer Communications* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobiledevices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatilesensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobileubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms * Energy efficient cloud computing * Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms * Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols * Energy-efficient MAC protocols * Energy-efficient routing protocols * Green data centers and cloud networking * Voltage and frequency scaled networks * Energy-efficient communication protocols * Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above * Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems * Power consumption profiling and estimation * Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency * Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: --------------------------- You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.

Februar 2014 11:21:36 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [WiSARN 2014] 8th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************** Call for papers WiSARN 2014 8th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless ) Benidorm, Spain 22-27 June 2014 https://wisarn2014.hds.utc.fr *************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission: February 28th Author notification: March 20th Author registration: March 28th Camera ready: March 28th CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. TOPIC OF INTEREST Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN and traditional wireless sensor networks, robot networks, as well as robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Optimal control of networked robots * Robot advanced motion control by WSAN * Modeling and control of flying robots * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-robot and robot-robot coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile robots * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Robot task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 14 pages.
