-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Correction: Special issue on eHealth Datum: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:22:05 +0000 Von: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Hi Sorry for missing the journal and submission info. Here goes the complete CFP. Regards Sana CALL FOR PAPERS <Special Issue on “Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems” in IEEE Systems Journal> SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients´ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the “Information for Authors” at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org. In the cover letter, authors should explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the “Special Issue on Communication Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems”.

The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next generation “smart” and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in July 2015 aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small group interactions, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM eEnergy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings - Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems - Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-efficient data centers - The impact of storage integration on the smart grid - Electric Vehicle monitoring and control - Distribution and transmission network control techniques - Microgrid and distributed generation management and control - Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources - Smart grid communication architectures and protocols - Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure - Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management - Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems - HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness - User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies - Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems - Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Submissions Three types of contributions are solicited: - Regular papers, up to 10 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal.

Recently, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered to be able to conduct many interesting applications. For example, for the smart home service, wireless sensors can be in-built on electric devices. When a user controls a device by a smart controller, the corresponding wireless sensor receives the command and performs appropriate/smart actions. For the industry, wireless sensor nodes can be used to monitor the vibration of machines. When there is an abnormal alarm, the sensor nodes can generate an instant report to the person in charge. Besides the above two examples, there are many other novel applications developing based on WSN technology, e.g., indoor localization, disaster monitoring, structure health monitoring, and so on. These applications have different considerations and requirements that need to be conquered. The aim of this workshop is to provide the opportunities for researchers and industrials to discuss on the achievements on applications that integrate with wireless sensors. We encourage authors to show possible scenarios, development of prototyping implementations, and evaluations on real cases. We further welcome the ideas which integrate with smart portable devices, involve multiple platforms, and interwork between different standards/protocols. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: -Integration of multiple platforms/protocols/devices in WSN applications -Sensing devices designing for WSN applications -Transmission protocol design and standard develop for WSN applications -Power management and energy conserving for WSN applications -Data mining and security issues for WSN applications -Test-beds and platforms for specific WSN applications -Real case studies/demonstrations/measurements of WSN applications -Trends and novel applications ===================== Submission guidelines ===================== Submitted papers must be in camera-ready IEEE format, not exceeding 5 pages. Authors should submit their papers through EasyChair system for peer-review. The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsnap2015.

04 Dec '14

Deadline extension to December 23 / January 03 has been granted due to the many requests from researchers still working on their proposals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS SustainIT 2015 The Fourth IFIP Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability http://www.networks.imdea.org/sustainit2015 April 14-15, 2015 Madrid, Spain Sponsored by the IFIP TC6 WG 6.3, Performance of Communication Systems Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** EXTENDED Paper Registration Deadline --- DECEMBER 23, 2014 *** *** EXTENDED Paper Submission Deadline --- JANUARY 03, 2015 *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All papers presented at SustainIT 2015 will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best paper presented at the conference will receive a Best Paper Award. Authors of papers of particular merit will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to the Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (COMCOM). SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The evolving information and communications (ICT) technologies present a unique opportunity to effect the transformation needed to move us towards the goal of sustainability by helping to reduce our carbon footprint, mitigate and adapt ill effects of climate change, reduce and repair environmental damage, provide effective disaster response and recovery, creatively manage overstressed infrastructures in crowded urban systems, and enhance use of planet friendly materials and technologies. ICT is already being integrated into many areas of our lives, such as smart management of city services, transportation, energy distribution and management, health care, etc., and this integration is expected to expand deeper and wider in the coming years and decades. Unfortunately, this ICT proliferation brings in its own challenges of increased carbon footprint, accelerating obsolescence of electronic equipment and its disposal issues, increased use of precious natural resources such as water and materials, etc. These twin problems of reducing the environmental impact of ICT and exploiting ICT for a more sustainable world form the underlying theme for SustainIT since its inception in 2010. This edition of SustainIT continues this theme by focusing on inter-disciplinary scientific challenges of enhancing the sustainability of ICT and via ICT. The goal of this conference is to bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers from both industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sustainability of ICT (including smart energy management) and innovative use of ICT to enhance human and societal sustainability are solicited. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 1) Sustainable communication substrates: - Energy-efficient networking technologies and architectures - Energy-efficient wired and wireless communications protocols - Cross-layer optimizations for sustainable networking - Novel standards and metrics for green communications 2) Energy-efficient operation of computing infrastructure: - Energy-efficient management of computing, storage, and network resources - Managing carbon footprint of data centers and increasing its energy efficiency - Trade-offs between energy efficiency, Quality of Service, and reliability - Adaptation of computing and communications infrastructure to variable renewable energy supply - Emerging computing/storage technologies for energy efficient operation 3) Achieving sustainability through the application of ICT: - Application of ICT to increase the energy efficiency of smart homes, smart buildings, and smart cities - ICT for sustainable mobility, transport, and logistics - ICT for energy-efficient industrial environments and processes - ICT for smart power grids and novel data processing in smart energy systems - ICT for water distribution systems including leaks, theft, contamination, and attacks. - ICT for agriculture, food distribution/logistics, waste reduction, tracking/provenance, etc. - ICT for healthcare (health monitoring & healthy lifestyle support systems, disease detection/monitoring, assistive technologies, health care information systems, etc.) - ICT for underwater (e.g., oceanic) monitoring and communications - ICT for waste water and waste monitoring, handling and reduction - ICT in disaster monitoring, rescue and recovery, including emergency networking and exploitation of social media - ICT for monitoring and conservation of biodiversity - ICT for geohazard monitoring (e.g., landslides, earthquakes, etc.) - Crowdsourcing solutions for sustainability - Urban Sustainability 4) Practical issues in sustainable communication systems - Security and privacy in ICT applications for sustainability - Energy consumption measurements, models, and monitoring tools - Measurement and evaluation of the Internet's sustainability - Test-bed and prototype implementations of sustainable ICT systems 5) Science of Sustainability - Metrics for sustainability and their evaluation - Modeling of human behavior regarding sustainability choices (e.g., reduction in energy consumption, engagement of power management features, etc.) - Ecosystem modeling (perturbations and equilibria) PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Manuscripts must be limited to 8 pages and must strictly adhere to the IEEE conference publication format (e.g., 10pt font, single spacing, double column) in US Letter size with all fonts embedded.
