Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- */Call for Papers/* *A Special Issue of **Vehicular Communications **on* *“**Vehicular Cloud Networking**”*** Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have gained a significant attention during the last decades both from industrial and academia communities to increase road safety and traffic management. However, vehicles are normally constrained by resources, including computation, storage, and radio spectrum bandwidth. Many emerging applications demand complex computation and large storage, including in-vehicle multimedia entertainment, vehicular social networking, etc. It becomes increasingly difficult for an individual vehicle to efficiently support these applications. A very promising solution is to share the computation and storage resources among all vehicles or physically nearby vehicles. As such, a new paradigm has emerged called “Vehicular Clouds” and consist of a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish papers studying this emerging paradigm of cloud-based vehicular networks. Contributed submissions to this Special Issue may present novel ideas, models, methodologies, system design and architecture, experiments and benchmarks for performance evaluation pertaining to vehicular cloud networks. This Special Issue also welcome relevant research surveys. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · Service architectures in Vehicular Clouds: Network as a Service (NaaS), Storage as a Service (STaaS), and Cooperation as a Service (CaaS). · Vehicular Clouds: System architectures, platforms, and testbeds. · Cloud-assisted vehicle communications. · Mobile vehicular social networks. · Mobility analysis and vehicle traffic analysis in Vehicular Clouds. · Networking to reduce energy consumption in Vehicular Clouds. · V2V or V2I protocols in Cloud-based vehicular networks and communications. · Wireless access virtualization and resource management in cloud-based vehicular networks. · Security and privacy issues in Vehicular Clouds. *Submission Format and Guideline* All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - ACM CoNEXT 2015 Workshop: Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) Datum: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 14:35:19 +0000 Von: Spyridon VASSILARAS <spyros.vassilaras(a)HUAWEI.COM> Antwort an: Spyridon VASSILARAS <spyros.vassilaras(a)HUAWEI.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) 2015 Workshop Future and emerging wireless networks will pose extreme communication requirements such as very high throughput rates and very low latency, particularly in QoE sensitive applications such as multimedia content delivery. Currently, operators are striving to reduce the investment and maintenance costs for cellular systems. In this context, caching has been proposed as a technique that has the potential to reduce backhaul network traffic and improve content latency for the wireless user. Especially in 5G, caching is poised as one of the most promising new technologies. The "Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) 2015" workshop (http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2015/#!/ccdwn) focuses on techniques that aim to achieve efficient content delivery to the end user in order to meet the stringent quality requirements of 5G wireless. The idea is to bring together experts in the field and discuss ways in which content caching, sharing and prefetching can play a leading role in future wireless networks. Indicative research topics of high interest include but are not limited to: * Scaling laws for the capacity of wireless networks equipped with caches * Caching architectures and cache replacement policies for wireless networks * Optimal content / cache placement: polynomial-time approximation algorithms, minimum latency problem, minimum network traffic problem (both static & dynamic variations) * Joint replication and delivery techniques: replacement policies, dynamic routing policies * Proactive caching: recommendation models, prefetching, scheduling * Estimation of content popularity: machine learning approaches, dynamic content popularity models, measurement-based popularity estimation, prediction of future popularity and popularity trends * Exploitation of the time aspect: caching viral files, user mobility, non-stationary models * Interface of caching techniques with communications techniques, including scheduling, routing, multicasting, femto caching, and MIMO communications * Network coding techniques: coded caching, distributed storage * Network economic aspects of caching: where to cache? Storage vs BW tradeoff, incentives, game theoretic models * Practical aspects of content caching and delivery in wireless networks including control information overhead minimization, efficient protocols, standardization, and issues such as tunneling and encrypted content * Lessons learnt: what known techniques from Content Delivery Networks teach us * Energy saving through caching * Caching for Information Centric Networks This workshop aims to bring together people from different communities, including networking, communications, computer science, operation research, and machine learning, to shed light on the latest developments in the field. To maximize interaction and visibility, CCDWN will be co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2015 (http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2015) and will take place on December 1st 2015, in Heidelberg, Germany. The workshop is considered an integral part of the CoNEXT 2015 conference. All CCDWN papers will be published in the same set of proceedings as the main conference and will be made available on the ACM Digital Library. Publication at this workshop is not intended to preclude later publication of an extended version of the paper. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to present his / her paper at the workshop. Keynote Presentation: The workshop keynote presentation will be delivered by Prof. Giuseppe Caire. Instructions for Authors: A submission must be no greater than 6 pages in length including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc., and must be a PDF file of less than 10MB in size.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Computer SI on "Communications and Privacy Surveillance" Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 18:01:18 +0200 Von: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)UNINA.IT> Antwort an: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)UNINA.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------ IEEE Computer Special Issue on “Communications and Privacy under Surveillance” Full paper submission deadline: 1 August 2015 Publication date: March 2016 Computer plans a March 2016 special issue on communications and privacy under surveillance. Today, our daily communications are subject to surveillance by government agencies and private hackers. The purpose could be legal crime investigation or terrorism prevention, or it could be illegal privacy infringement or theft of confidential information. There are often gray areas between legal and illegal surveillance. Despite the controversy, communications-surveillance technologies continue to evolve. However, these sensitive technologies have seldom been reported in the scientific literature, as developers have largely subscribed to the idea of “security by obscurity.” Now, though, many realize that surveillance technologies could be improved much faster via “security by clarity,” with the technologies examined by both good and bad guys. This could also reduce the gray area between legal and illegal activities, thereby protecting privacy. This special issue will foster dissemination of the latest communications and privacy surveillance methodologies. The guest editors’ aim is to publish high-quality articles presenting the state of the art in lawful, mass, wireless, and backdoor surveillance. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: a.. Lawful surveillance with RFC 3924 b.. Mass and global surveillance programs such as Five Eyes, PRISM, XKeyscore, Tempora, Muscular, and Royal Concierge c.. Wireless surveillance via 4G/3G/GSM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth with IMSI Catcher, Femtocatch, and Bluejacking d.. Backdoor surveillance by malware on servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets via server and browser exploits, repackaged applications, repackaged documents, and advanced persistent threats e.. Surveillance and analysis tools such as Boundless Informant, XKeyscore, Tempora, Tracfin, Visitor Location Registers, A5/1, and Tor f.. Big data analysis on communications-surveillance data, metadata, and multimedia g.. Security and privacy by obscurity vs. security and privacy by clarity h.. Analytical and simulation models of communications and privacy surveillance i.. Network and traffic forensics for surveillance j.. Censorship analysis, detection, and circumvention k.. Policies and regulations regarding legal and illegal surveillance l.. Experimental studies of and testbeds for communications and privacy surveillance Only submissions that describe previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Articles should be understandable by a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. Questions?

IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking, Control and Positioning for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 WORKSHOP LOCATION: San Diego, California, USA WORKSHOP DATE: DECEMBER 6 or 10, 2015 PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: ** JULY 15, 2015 (via EDAS) ** EXTENDED FIRM DEADLINE ** WEBSITE: www.wi-uav.org EDAS submission link: https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=20647 The workshop is the interdisciplinary platform to bring together robotics, control, positioning, and wireless communications. You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the general area of networking, control, and positioning solutions for autonomous systems. Aims and Scope: Unmanned autonomous systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments. In order to fulfill particularly challenging tasks, next-generation cellular networks will enable cooperation of a broad range of mobile devices, including autonomous or human-controlled devices with varying capabilities to communicate and interact with other devices. Visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. This vision can be applied to a wide range of applications, e.g., autonomous driving including platooning and traffic control, exploration for search-and-rescue missions, and factory automation. The communication subsystem needs to provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links as well as data links. Unmanned vehicles also offer the capability to form ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to facilitate temporary hot spots and compensate network outages in case! of public events and emergencies. The navigation sub-system musts provide relative positioning information with sub-meter accuracy and very low latency (~1 ms). The steering and control unit needs to be tightly coupled with the communications and navigation subsystem to ensure proper decisions even with imperfect local information. The focus of the workshop will be solely on projects and research aiming at civilian applications. This sixth edition of the workshop aims to cover the most recent results of various international research projects on new communications networks enabling the efficient control and context-awareness of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater, and in space scenarios Topics: - Communication architectures and protocols for un- manned autonomous vehicles - Ad-hoc networking, routing, handover and meshing - Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles - Localization, navigation, and path planning - Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities, and swarming - Cooperative network navigation - 5G communication for autonomous vehicles - Multi-agent control and optimization - Passive localization - Human-machine interaction - Compressive and cooperative sensing and navigation - Big data and machine learning for autonomous vehicles - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations Key Note: The Wi-UAV has a tradition of distinguished key note speakers (see www.wi-uav-org).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extended] CFP: TVT SI on "Emerging Technology of 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks" Datum: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 01:53:19 -0400 Von: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline (Extended): July 15, 2015 Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. -------------------------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is…> AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billions of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process a huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. Their role however does not end here. Smartphones, in fact, are very powerful devices with constantly increasing processing, communication and sensing capabilities and very recently, a large plethora of proposals have emerged to leverage those capabilities to contribute to the information production process. For instance, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smarthphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to became a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing feature and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to address the formerly highlighted issues. Specifically on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. At the same time, beside studying the issues of the city-wide infrastructure deployment, the workshop aims to investigate the potential provided by the end-users devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) when augmented in order to turn them into active components of the smart-city ecosystem, instead of mere connection end-points. Such a potential includes the possibility to extend the network access in a pervasive way, to provide ubiquitous computing services, and to favor the emergence of "collectivity intelligence behaviors" through collaboration and direct communication among devices. In lines with such objectives, the topics of interests include -but it is not limited to- the following issues: . Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city . Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; . Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); . IoT architectures and middlewares; . Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; . Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; . Systems for distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; . Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments . Crowd sourcing in smart cities; . Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; . Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; . Testbed on the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; . Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; . Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing; . Cooperative systems of Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------- Manuscript submission: 1st August 2015 Notification of acceptance: 1st February 2016 Final Manuscript Due: 1st March 2016 Online Publication: 1st May 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks>.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 25. Juni 2015 20:41:26 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approaching: IEEE MASS 2015 Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Dallas, USA October 19, 2015 Co-located with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2015 http://www.ene.unb.br/cartoon/ ================================================================================ Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2015 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed / unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 03 Notification of Acceptance: July 31 Camera-ready papers: August 07 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 6 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, with side-margin at least 1 inch, including all figures, tables, and references. Authors must use the Manuscript Templates for IEEE Conference Procedings. Authors can get additional 2 pages at US$ 150/page. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference.

Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline: July 1, 2015 CFP URL: http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/vtjournal/SI/TVT_SI_5G_Vanet.pdf Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: IEEE MiSeNet'15 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2015 - Submission Deadline: June 26! Datum: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 04:24:51 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG The Fourth IEEE Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking ( IEEE MiSeNet 201 5 ) In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2015, Dallas, Texas, USA, October 19-22 , 201 5. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2015.h… Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 201 5 *Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. MiSeNet 201 5 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 201 5 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. MiSeNet 201 5 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to MiSeNet 201 5 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair *- Jie Wu ( Temple University, USA) *Program Chair *- Benyan Liu (University of Massachusetts Lowell , USA) *Steering Committee *- T h om as La Porta (Chair) (Penn State University, USA) - Tarek F.

Next generation mobile and wireless communications systems will have to respond to an avalanche of traffic, an explosion of the number of connected devices and a large diversity of use cases and requirements. One of the key enabling technologies at the heart of the 5G systems is Device-to-Device communications. Devices being close to each other can activate direct links and bypass the base station (BS) or access point (AP) by either using cellular communications resources or using alternative radio technologies such as Wi-Fi. The D2D communications paradigm holds, indeed, the promise of to overcome the limitations of conventional cellular systems with very high bit rates, low delay, and low power consumption. There are a number of applications where D2D communications can provide significant ! improvements. For example, it can be useful to provide mobile data offloading for proximity based applications, to extend the network coverage, or supporting content sharing among users and group oriented services. However, there are many issues still waiting for a solution before a widespread use of D2D communications in next 5G systems is granted. These include network and device discovery, radio resource allocation and resource management, non-network-assisted direct links formation, capacity evaluation. Moreover, some research aspects, such as mobility management, multicast and broadcast communications and radio access procedures for D2D received little attention so far. Purpose of this special issue is to promote novel solutions for design and modeling of D2D communications as enabling technology for future 5G systems. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Network and device discovery techniques for D2D communications - Energy efficiency and power control in D2D communications in 5G systems - Centralized and distributed coordination for D2D communications in 5G systems - Network assisted and self-organizing D2D implementations for multimedia services - Radio resource allocation and management for D2D communications in 5G systems - Optimization and game theoretic approaches for D2D communications - D2D communications in massive MIMO systems - Mobility management in single and multi-cell scenarios for D2D communications - Multi-hop D2D communication for content distribution in Cloud and Internet of Things environments - Full-duplex in D2D communications - Channel estimation techniques for D2D communications - Impact of HW imperfections and limitations on for D2D communications performance - Modeling of control plane support for cellular network assisted D2D communications - D2D as enabler for Human-Type-Communication (MTC) and Machine-Type-Communications (MTC) - D2D communications for vehicular networks - WiFi-Direct, LTE-Direct for supporting D2D communications - Physical layer aspects and frequency band analysis for D2D applications - Current and future standardization activities for D2D technology Papers must be tailored to the problems of 5G communications systems and explicitly consider Device to Device Communications as the enabling technology. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ============================================================ Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For…).

In WSRN, 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, WSRNs 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, algorit! hms and protocols for current and future applications of WSRN. Topic of Interest Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSRN 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 WSRN • Modeling and simulation of WSRN • WSRN architectural and operational models • Optimal control of networked robots • Robot advanced motion control by WSRN • 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 WSRN • 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 WSRN • Probabilistic integration in WSRN • Quality of service, security and robustness issues • Applications and prototypes • Hybrid networks and wireless Internet • M2M and D2D communications • Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Submission Instructions It is required that the manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double column, 10-pt font) as well as the requirement set by EDAS paper submission system.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MASS 2015 Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Datum: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:54:58 -0400 Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Dallas, USA October 19, 2015 Co-located with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2015 http://www.ene.unb.br/cartoon/ ================================================================================ Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2015 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed / unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 03 Notification of Acceptance: July 31 Camera-ready papers: August 07 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 6 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, with side-margin at least 1 inch, including all figures, tables, and references. Authors must use the Manuscript Templates for IEEE Conference Procedings. Authors can get additional 2 pages at US$ 150/page. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference. For all papers, IEEE reserves the right to exclude the paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
