-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Gesendet: Mon Dec 23 18:47:20 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014 (Sorry for multiple receptions of this e-mail.) ================================================================================ 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 ?

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) at SIGCOMM Datum: Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:17:15 +0100 Von: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) ----------------------------------- in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference, on August 18, Chicago, USA. Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms – some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up * Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks * Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence * Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks * Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements * QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements * Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers * Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Please see the workshop webpage for further guidelines. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/ Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2013 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2013 Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2013 Workshop date: August 18, 2013 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany -------------------------------------------------------

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Thu Dec 19 23:50:18 MEZ 2013 An: "lmottola(a)gmail.com" <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Betreff: CfP: Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2013 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2014. Notifications : March 7, 2014. Camera ready : March 15, 2014. Workshop : Apr 13, 2014, at 2pm.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Jaime Lloret Mauri <jlloret(a)DCOM.UPV.ES> Gesendet: Thu Dec 19 20:08:39 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Green Communications and Networking - MONET (I.F.: 1.109) Special Issue on Green Communications and Networking Springer Mobile Network & Applications (MONET) Impact Factor: 1.109 Overview The worldwide growing energy demands together with the increasing depletion of fossil fuels have been recognized as a major challenge that needs to be urgently addressed by society in order to have a sustainable future. To investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint is of prime importance. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication and networking systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications! networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the total). The need for �greener� communications and networking technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Springer Mobile Network & Applications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications and networking, which solicits original, unpublished research papers both from academy and industry reporting on substantial results in the green communications and networking area enabling significant future energy savings. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications and networking. Topics include, but are not limited to: Topics - Green Solutions for Communications Technologies - Energy-efficient networking and protocols - Energy-efficient communications management - Energy-efficiency in wired networks - Energy-efficiency in wireless networks - Energy-efficiency in vehicular networks - Energy-efficiency in data centers - Energy-efficiency in content delivery networks - Energy-efficient secure networking - Measurement & profiling of energy consumption - Standardization efforts * Green Society Solutions based on Communications Technologies - Smart Cities - Smart Sensing - e-Health - Energy-efficient buildings - Energy harvesting - Industrial automation - Device-to-Device communications (D2D) - Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - Standardization efforts * Smart Grid Communications - Advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies - Wide-area monitoring and control - Demand-response management - Distributed generation and storage - Operations of renewable energy generation - Management & control of distributed energy storage - Grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid - Micro-grids - Standardization efforts Important Date Manuscript submission deadline: 1st Sep. 2014 Notification of acceptance: 1st Nov. 2014 Submission of final revised manuscript due: 1st Dec. 2014 Publication of special issue: 1Q 2015 Submission Procedure Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format at the journal site: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 .

Submissions are limited to 8 pages in length in Two-Column Format, including references, figures and tables. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site. Overview Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted considerable attention from the research community in the last several years. Now that many of the fundamental topics and challenges have been deeply investigated, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include data-centric operations, autonomous organization, service creation/support, continued operation under intermittent connectivity, optimization, control, cross-layer design and application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, smart cities, energy efficient buildings, sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.). Moreover, novel and exciting challenges are introduced by commercial systems adopting the ad hoc paradigm, from mesh, sensor and vehicular networks, and by associated delay-tolerant and opportunistic scenarios. Furthermore, today's market explosion of smart phones is creating new opportunities for wireless ad hoc social networks, the study of which requires the combination of opportunistic ad hoc networking aspects with the understanding of social behavior and mobility patterns. MED-HOC-NET 2014 focuses on all the ramifications of ad hoc networking research, not only the classic topics of location management, security/privacy, topology optimization/control schemes and resource allocation, but also paying attention to novel emerging areas such as green networking, safety/surveillance, underwater communications, and coexistence among heterogeneous devices. The Workshop is endorsed by the IEEE Communication Society and its Technical Committees for Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Information Infrastructure & Networking, and Radio Communication, and by IFIP. TOPICS Papers are solicited in a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, mesh, delay-tolerant, content-centric and opportunistic networks, including but not limited to -Routing algorithms and protocols -MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation -Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks -Middleware for ad hoc networks -Application driven architectures and protocols -Sensor network applications and protocols -Vehicular networks -Cognitive radio networks -Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks -Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes -Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.) -Self organization and network reconfiguration -Optimization models and algorithms -Resource and service discovery -Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) -Security and privacy -Delay tolerant networks -Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking -Mobile social networks -Security and privacy -Participatory and urban sensing -Underwater wireless networks -Heterogeneous networks -Novel performance measures -Green networking -Cooperative schemes -Network localization -Network secrecy -Networking virtualization -Services based, and enabled by Ad Hoc networks Conference Chairs Fulvio Babich - University of Trieste, Italy Eve Schooler - Intel Labs, USA Technical Program Chairs Andreas Kassler - Karlstads Universitet, Sweden Gustavo Marfia - University of Bologna, Italy Steering Committees Ian F.

This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate. Following the successful merger in 2013 of the two most renowned conferences in the field, i.e., Pervasive and (the former) UbiComp, UbiComp 2014 will be held from September 13 to 17 in Seattle, Washington, USA, and as in past years will be collocated with ISWC 2014 (with a single registration fee). UbiComp 2014's papers and notes track welcomes high quality submissions that describe original and unpublished research contributions advancing the frontier of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to: - Systems & infrastructures: descriptions of the design, architecture, deployment, and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support ubiquitous computing - Devices & techniques: descriptions of the design, architecture, usage, and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for ubiquitous computing - Applications & experiences: descriptions of the design and/or empirical study of applications that leverage Ubicomp devices and systems - Methodologies & tools: new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications - Theories & models: critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems A submission (full paper or note) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research and knowledge, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. Authors should write their paper for an interdisciplinary, international audience. All submissions should not have been previously published nor be under concurrent submission for publication for an archival track of any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication that is part of a formal repository (such as the ACM digital library). ***NEW for 2014*** To allow for more complete and fully formatted reference lists, bibliographic references do NOT count toward the page limit of 10 pages for full papers and 4 pages for notes. However, references are limited to 2 total additional pages for full papers and 1 additional page for notes and must still be formatted in the ACM double-column format. Therefore, the maximum total pages for full papers will be 12 pages and 5 pages for notes (with only references allowed on the final pages). *** NEW for 2014 *** UbiComp 2014 will use a relaxed anonymization policy. Author names/affiliations must not appear in the title area of a paper-in-submission, but further anonymization is at the authors' discretion. UbiComp 2014 will continue to include a "revise & resubmit" phase as a part of its submission and review process. While most papers will be accepted or rejected at the program committee meeting, a select number of papers will receive the opportunity to resubmit a substantially revised version of their submission. A detailed meta-review will outline necessary changes, which may include the need for further experiments and/or significant manuscript re-organization. This process allows flawed papers with significant potential a second chance at acceptance. However, note that an invitation to revise and resubmit does not guarantee acceptance. Important Dates for UbiComp 2014 Papers and Notes track: - ***NEW FOR 2014*** Abstract deadline - March 12, 2014, 17:00 PDT (It is mandatory to submit a complete abstract before this hard deadline, though minor changes to the abstract will be permitted) - Paper deadline (submission only permitted if abstract was submitted as above) - March 19, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications (incl. "revise & resubmit" notifications): 8 May, 2014 - Revised papers/notes submission deadline: 4 June, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications for revised submissions: 16 June, 2014 - Camera-ready deadline: 24 June, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 workshops and doctoral consortium: 13-14 September, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 main conference: 15-17 September, 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.
