Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 07 Jan '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Piotr Cholda <cholda(a)AGH.EDU.PL> Gesendet: Tue Jan 07 17:16:46 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks *Aims and Scope* Society's increasing dependence on communication networks, the Internet and their services is evident from the wide range of activities that use electronic media, from entertainment to critical operations related to commerce, finance and life care. Humanity relies on the Internet to access information, obtain services, manage finances, and communicate with others. Businesses use the Internet to transact commerce with consumers and other businesses. Governments depend on communication networks for their daily operation and service delivery. The military depends on the Global Information Grid to execute network centric operations and warfare. Hence, in addition to transportation-infrastructure, power-generation, and distribution-grid public/private networks, the Internet and other publicly accessible communication networks are today critical infrastructures upon which our lives and prosperity depend. Given this dependence, vulnerabilities of communication networks and the Internet can significantly impact our lives. The dependence on communication networks and the Internet makes them an attractive target for attacks and intrusions attempting to either obtain information or disrupt service of individuals, businesses, government and military. These networks and services are also susceptible to accidents, faults or natural disasters that can disrupt service. Examples of natural disasters that compromised the network infrastructure are the hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. In the face of these difficulties, the need for greater resilience has been recognized for wireline and wireless networks and for the Internet. Resilience has classically been defined as the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults, accidents, attacks and natural disasters. This subject has attracted the attention of researchers, industry and governments around the world. Today, resilience can be considered an essential characteristic in the design and operation of networks to withstand the intrusions described above. Furthermore, we must now expand resilience to include new requirements, such as scalability, dynamic and opportunistic topologies, and global interoperation and interdependence among networks. This feature topic call-for-papers solicits recent, relevant works related to disaster resilience, especially in emerging networks. The main goal is to provide for the *IEEE Communications Magazine *an overview of the state-of-the-art of resilience, and to identify the new challenges from emerging network infrastructures in terms of scalability, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. Works addressing resilience issues in the context of new communication technologies, such as software-defined networks, cognitive radio and emerging optical technologies are of particular interest. *Topics* Articles describing original research and development as well as survey articles related to disaster resilience are solicited. The topics to be covered by this feature topic include, but are not limited to: * Disaster resilience for the following technologies: - LTE, LTE-A, 4G, Small Cells, femto-cells - Heterogeneous wireless networks - Access Networks - Flexible Optical Networks - Overlay and multi-layer networks - Virtualized Networks - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) - Datacenters, Cloud infrastructures, Networks for Big Data - Smart Grids, M2M - Green networks * Disaster resilience approaches coping with: - Mitigation and reconstruction of network infrastructure - Management for post disaster network infrastructure reconstruction - Network infrastructure adaptive capacity - Disaster risk reduction - Risk management and sustainability - Community and social engagement in providing communication infrastructure in disaster situation - Knowledge management and integration - Public policy and governance to build disaster resilient smart cities - Energy efficiency *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the *IEEE Communications Magazine*’s guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important to note that the *IEEE Communications Magazine* strongly limits mathematical content, the number of figures and tables, and the number of references. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select “October 2014/Disaster Resilience” as the submission category. *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission Due: February 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2014 Publication: October 2014 *Guest Editors* Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Deep Medhi, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA Robert Doverspike, AT&T Labs Research, USA *Further Information* http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag1014.html ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Gesendet: Tue Jan 07 18:21:13 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014---New deadline! (Sorry for multiple receptions of this e-mail.) *** NEW DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION: JANUARY 30! *** ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS WiNMee 2014 The 10th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements and Experimentations (In conjunction with WiOpt 2014.) ================================================================================ http://www.hanalab.org/wiopt2014/w4-winmee.html SCOPE --------------------------- The explosion of both wireless technologies and applications as well as the increasing number of radios and frequency bands available demand an understanding of in-field performance to design the next generation of wireless systems. Complex channel properties such as multipath, delay spread, and Doppler effects prevent even the most complex channel models from exactly characterizing repeatable in-situ behavior. Abstract models of devices and energy storage, as well as emerging paradigms such as energy harvesting enabled systems, make estimation of system performance and lifetime quite challenging unless supported by field experiments. To better understand the potential of novel paradigms and ideas, it is therefore imperative to evaluate these ideas in the field via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and devices, and by the varying and error-prone wireless channel. Even slight misunderstandings can cause drastic performance differences in various research avenues from cognitive spectral sensing to spatial reuse in large-scale network planning to lifetime and amount of tasks which can be performed by Internet-of-Things devices. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2014 is the tenth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began 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 and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production and research wireless networks * Measurement and characterization of wireless network traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cyber physical and sensing systems * Experimental validation of network simulators * Experimental driven mobile social network and mobility models * Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting * Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements, including novel measurement techniques * Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Methodologies for measuring and characterizing heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing, analyzing and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems, cyber physical and sensing systems, WLAN and VANET, cellular systems * Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility; estimation and prediction of energy availability * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds * Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------- The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.
