Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer networks SI on Green computing in wireless sensor networks

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 8. Mai 2017 04:49:36 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer networks SI on Green computing in wireless sensor networks *CFP** of Special Issue in Elsevier Computer Networks* *Green Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks* The past decades have witnessed the advancement of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in both academic and industrial communities. In a WSN, a large number of sensor nodes are deployed and networked to monitor or survey targeted area, such that the interested data can be sensed, processed, stored and collected. Through WSNs, we are able to bridge the physical word and the cyber space, which composes the foundation for developing new smart applications. Many potential applications of WSNs have been exploited in the fields of environmental engineering, healthcare, industry, military applications, smart home, and green buildings etc. To enable the pervasive deployment of WSNs, the biggest stumbling block is the contradiction between the various functionalities demanded by applications and the limited energy supply for sensor nodes. Such a situation is getting worse, especially considering the increasing network scale. Therefore, in this special issue, we look at WSNs, mainly from the perspective of green computing. On one hand, we expect to design energy-saving (or –free) protocols cross different system layers, to prolong the network lifetime as far as possible. Specifically, to practice WSNs in real applications, we are supposed to achieve a tradeoff between system performance and energy efficiency, through adapting sensing/networking functionalities to energy budget. On the other hand, we can resort to seeking new techniques to sustainably supply energy to sensor nodes. For example, sensor nodes equipped with certain mechanisms can harvest energy from surrounding circumstance, or we can rely on dedicated devices to periodically charge the sensor nodes (if they are re-chargeable). The above threads (or the joint optimizations cross them) are of great significance to improve the sustainability and performance of WSNs. Therefore, it is highly worthy to extensively investigate how we run a WSN in a green fashion. Topics of primary interest are centered around green computing in WSNs, including but not being limited to: l Energy harvesting/charging and power management l Long-life sensor node deployment and topology control l Energy-efficient communication protocol design l Scheduling algorithms for sensor networks l Energy-efficient (or –free) sensing techniques l New applications of self-sustainable sensor networks l Data routing, processing and storage strategies l Network modelling and performance analysis *Schedule* Manuscript Due: August 15th, 2017 First Notification: October 31st, 2017 Revised version: December 15th, 2017 Final notification: January 15th, 2018 Publication Date: The 2nd quarter of 2018 (tentative) *Guest Editor* *Feng Li* (Corresponding Editor) School of Computer Science and Technology Shandong University Jinan, Shandong, China 250101 Email: fli(a)sdu.edu.cn *Shibo He* School of Computer Science and Engineering Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China 310027 Email: s18he(a)zju.edu.cn *Jun Luo* School of Computer Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University Singapore 639798 Email: junluo(a)ntu.edu.sg *Gurusamy Mohan* Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering National University of Singapore Singapore 117576 Email: elegm(a)nus.edu.sg *Junshan Zhang* School of Electrical, Computer and Engineering Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-7206 Email: junshan.zhang(a)asu.edu ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities? What kind of education and training are required for citizens of such communities to take full benefits of the proposed architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make communities smarter? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Communities? In addition, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Community architectures and planning using WSN - The role of IoT in the planning of future Smart Communities - Smart management and services - Deployment of sensors and embedded devices - Smart homes, Buildings, Campuses, and Applications - The role of Cloud Computing in IoT-based Smart Communities - Big Data Analytics and Smart Communities - IoT-enabled devices and technologies - Real-Time data processing using Hadoop, SPARK, GraphLab, etc. - System, design, modeling and evaluation - Industrial applications of Smart Communities - Future Internet cohesion with applications for Smart Communities Guest Editors: Syed Hassan Ahmed, Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: ACM CHANTS 2017 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) Datum: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 15:24:19 +0000 Von: Huber Flores <000000b88e64d002-dmarc-request(a)comsoc.org> Antwort an: Huber Flores <huberflo(a)CS.HELSINKI.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2017 - 12th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2017 October, 2017 Snowbird, Utah, USA www.acm-chants.org/17 ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the eleven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in the new directions of challenged networking such as crowdsourcing, mobile cloud/mobile edge/fog computing, IoT, WSN, CPS, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing - Challenged networking in the Internet of Things - Challenged networking in Cyber-Physical Systems - Big data analytics in challenged networking - Software-defined networking in challenged environments - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Network coding in challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles or underwater systems) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo and poster proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages, for demos plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

Initial estimations indicate that, different from the evolutionary path of previous cellular generations that were based on spectral efficiency improvements, the most substantial amount of future system performance gains will be obtained by means of network infrastructure densi?cation. The opportunities and challenges of fifth-generation (5G) rapidly gain great attention from academics, industries, and governments. Ultra dense network (UDN) is a promising technique to meet the requirements of explosive data traffic in 5G mobile communications. Moreover, when overlaid on top of the macrocells, low power small cells (such as femtocell and picocell) can improve the coverage and capacity of cellular networks by exploiting spatial reuse of limited spectrum. Dense small cells can also offload the wireless data traffic of user equipments (UEs) from macrocells, especially for an indoor environment where more than 80% of data traffic occurs. This special issue will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to the future mobile networks using Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Advanced radio access network architectures (e.g., Cloud-RAN, Fog-RAN, Backhaul/Fronthaul techniques) to support heterogeneous ultra dense devices and users Coexisting of WiFi, Small Cells, HetNets and LTE/LTE-A sharing unlicensed spectrum Self organizing and heterogeneous ultra dense small cell networks Advanced radio resource management (resource allocation, mobility management, interference management, SON, etc.) for heterogeneous ultra dense 5G networks Software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization, network slicing for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Novel applications and service scenarios of ultra dense 5G networks in vehicular Internet, and IoT Energy harvesting, caching , and cognitive radio for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and big data techniques in heterogeneous ultra dense scenarios Novel multiple access techniques in heterogeneous UDNs, such as SCMA, NOMA, PDMA, MUSA, etc. Supporting network applications, such as video applications for heterogeneous ultra dense networks. Other topics (PHY layer, MAC layer, Network layer) in heterogeneous UDNs ------------------- SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities.

This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general.
