-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 14:40:56 +0100 Von: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Organisation: MBI S.r.l. An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://goo.gl/3226Ml) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions.

E-health is recognized as the most important and promising among these applications for its potential for health monitoring of chronic illnesses, lifesaving in emergency situations, and its ability to provide round the clock healthcare to rural and disadvantaged areas. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are the key enabler of remote and in-hospital health monitoring and are expected to revolutionize the health and real-time body monitoring industry. WBAN technology has quickly attracted a lot of attention from researchers, practitioners and clinicians as well as mobile health related data managers. The main objective of WBAN is to provide cost-effective, flexible, and secure use of biotelemetry information and communication technologies to support both medical and non-medical applications. This technology enables ambient assisted living by providing more freedom to the elderly, disabled, and chronic illness sufferers. Moreover, it can be rapidly deployed in emergency and disaster situations facilitating faster and more accurate remote diagnosis of victims. WBAN technology unleashes the possibilities and potentials for personalized medicine which promises to revolutionize healthcare that will have a significant societal and economic impact and improve the citizens’ quality of life, particularly in future smart cities. However, WBAN applications present several challenges for the research community including: passive non-intrusive and power utilisation design issues, security and reliability with regards to the integrity of the acquired biotelemetry data and the real-time transmission of the monitored data using QoS aware techniques. Moreover, new emerging applications, which consider critical flows, are gaining more and more popularity in various activity domains. This workshop seeks to bring together leading academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and clinicians to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results related to WBANs based medical and non-medical applications.

The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: ‐ IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies ‐ IoT systems and components ‐ IoT for semantic web and personalization ‐ Tools for developing IoT applications ‐ Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT ‐ Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT ‐ Security and privacy control mechanisms ‐ Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) ‐ PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications ‐ MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT ‐ Mobility management ‐ Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability ‐ Object, device and service management ‐ RFID, sensors, actuator technologies ‐ Middleware ‐ Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) ‐ Test-beds and field trials ‐ Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: ‐ Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; ‐ Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline in 2 weeks: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) at SIGCOMM Datum: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 16:15:48 +0100 Von: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [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/csws.php Please use the following link for paper submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csws14 Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2014 Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2014 Workshop date: August 18, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany ------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance targets. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- Communication protocols with deterministic performance Network resilience, fault tolerance, network survivability Sensor data quality, integrity, and availability Performance-aware middleware Real-time operating systems for sensor networks Actuation and control Programming abstractions for deterministic sensor networks Impact of security features on network performance Experience with real-world deployments and applications Performance management of deployed sensor networks Timely data storage, retrieval, and processing Performance modelling and performance evaluation Configuration and installation support Performance debugging and performance optimization Important dates: ---------------- Paper Submission deadline: March 21, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 7, 2014 Camera Ready Paper: April 14, 2014 Workshop date: May 28, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Konstantinos Psounis, - University of Southern California Vasos Vassiliou - University of Cyprus Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

The previous workshop RITMAN 2012 was held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2012), December 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan. Disaster management is a multi-phase process, from mitigation, to preparedness, response, recovery, to reconstruction. RITMAN workshops focus primarily on preparedness, response and recovery phases. In recent years, we have seen tremendous advances in technologies for the predication and detection of natural disasters. Many standards and tools have enabled interoperability of diverse sensors, sensor networks and web services. Open platforms and message exchange standards have emerged to facilitate alert delivery and support response operations. Despite these advances, statistics on natural disasters still show that even technologically advanced regions are not as well prepared and resilient against calamitous events that bring damage, destruction and loss of property and life. RITMAN workshop series aims to provide researchers and developers with a forum for the purpose of stimulating discussions and collaborations on missing ICT and novel applications that can enhance preparedness and resiliency against disasters, especially events of unforeseen sizes and severity. The central theme of RITMAN 2014 will be the exploitation of wireless and mobile technologies for disaster preparedness and response. Topics of interest include but not limited to the following: - Disaster resilient communication - Responsive messaging services during mega disasters - Technology for crowdsourcing disaster surveillance sensor data - Assessment and reduction of uncertainty in disaster information - Mobile device based cloud - Cyber-physical devices and applications for disaster preparedness and response - Integration of resources and information in cyber and physical spaces - Privacy protection of rescue/emergency information - Disaster information system for resilient communities PAPER SUBMISSION -------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 4 (IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5" x 11", two-column format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine - SI Mobile Wearable Communications Datum: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:53:03 -0800 Von: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine* *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Special Issue: Mobile Wearable Communications* Mobile wearable devices communications create new challenges compared to ordinary sensor networks and short range communication. In mobile wearable communications, wearable devices communicate with each other in a Peer-to-Peer fashion or client-server fashion and also communicate with aggregation points (e.g. smartphones, tablet devices and gateways nodes). Wearable devices are expected to integrate multiple radio technologies for multiple applications needs with small power consumption and low transmission delays. These devices can hence collect, interpret, transmit and exchange data among supporting components, other wearable devices and the Internet. Data are not limited to people's personal biomedical data but they also include human-centric social and context data. The success of mobile wearable communications depends on communication and networking architectures that support efficient and secure end-to-end information flows. A key design consideration of future wearable devices is to ubiquitously connect to smart phones or Internet with very-low energy consumption. Radio propagation and accordingly channel models may be vastly different from those in existing wireless technologies. A huge number of connected wearable devices require novel big data processing algorithms, efficient storage solutions, cloud-assisted infrastructures, and spectrum-efficient communications technologies. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on mobile wearable communications, including various topics of interest, but not limited to: - Wireless wearable communications architectures and systems - Radio propagation, channel modeling, interference management and physical layer techniques - Sensor, actuator, M2M, relay, and NFC for wireless wearable communications - Mobile cloud architectures and services for wearable communications and networking - Big data processing in wearable networking - Energy-efficiency, spectrum-efficiency, QoS, robustness, and fault-tolerance - Context-aware (e.g., social, location, time) design - Security, trust, and privacy management - Performance analysis, model, optimization, monitoring, and control - Novel applications and services, e.g., wireless wearable communications for eHealth, sport, fitness, transport safety, location-based services, and crowd sensing - Standardization and regulations for wireless wearable communications and networking Schedule Manuscript Submission: June 1, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: November 1, 2014 Initial Decision: September 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: December 1, 2014 Revised Manuscript Due: October 1, 2014 Publication Date: February 2015 *Submission of the Papers* Submitted manuscripts need to follow the *IEEE Wireless Communications*paper guidelines at ( http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines) and submission will be through ScholarOne Manuscript Central at *http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm*<http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm> .
