One central element of this trend is the existence of a massive network of interconnected wired/wireless physical objects/things/sensors/devices, which can interact in a rich set of manners through a worldwide communication and information infrastructure and provide value added services. The vision of such an Internet of Things (IoT) system, supported by industrial companies and governments globally, has the potential to mark an evolution that will surely have a great impact on our environments and our lives. Yet, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT also poses a number of challenges where security is among the top concerns. The globally interconnected physical objects inevitably result in a potentially enormous attack surface that can be easily exploited if without adequate protection. To enable strong security foundations for the ubiquitous IoT, plenty of factors need to be taken into account. Examples are data security, privacy, access control, information assurance, trust management, secure services interoperability, seamless integration, system heterogeneity, scalability, and mobility. This special issue solicits high-quality original research results about IoT that pertain to state-of-the-art security and privacy issues in various pervasive and ubiquitous scenarios. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of security for IoT. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: - Secure IoT architecture - IoT access control and key management - Identification and privacy for IoT - Smart phone enabled secure smart systems - New cryptographic primitives for IoT - Manage trust for IoT service interoperability - Security on heterogeneous ecosystems - Context-aware security design - Data security and privacy in the IoT - Intrusion detection and defense for IoT - Joint security&privacy aware protocol design - Failure detection, prediction, and recovery - Secure data management within IoT - Trusted computing technology and IoT - Availability, recovery and auditing - IoT related web services security - Secure cyber-physical system - Biometrics for the IoT # Important Dates # - Submissions Deadline: February 15th, 2014 - First Reviews Due: May 15th, 2014 - Revision Due: June 15th, 2014 - Second Reviews Due/Acceptance letters: July 15th, 2014 - Final Manuscript Due: August 15th, 2014 - Publication Date: October 15th, 2014 # Submission Guidelines # The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Security for IoT.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:42:09 +0100 Von: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0115.html) ** 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.

It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the t! otal). The need for ‘greener’ communications technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Computer Networks on Green Communications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications. We seek papers describing research results that show significant energy savings in communications systems. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Energy-efficient home, access, core, and data center networks - Energy-efficient wireless access, home and sensor networks - Energy-efficient cellular networks - Energy-efficient content distribution - Power-aware algorithms, protocols, network equipment, and applications - Software-defined networks for energy efficiency - Energy Management as a part of Network Management - Performance models and metrics for analyzing performance-energy trade-offs - Trade-offs in embodied versus use phase energy consumption - Trade-offs in thin client, cloud computing, and network energy use - Regulation and standardisation * Guest Editors * Ken Christensen University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA Email: christen(a)csee.usf.edu Xavier Costa Pérez NEC R&D Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Email: Xavier.costa(a)ieee.org Pablo Serrano University Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Spain Email: pablo(a)it.uc3m.es Jinsong Wu Bell Laboratories, China Email: wujs(a)ieee.org * Important Dates * - Paper Submission Due: February 28, 2014 - Notification: May 31, 2014 - Camera ready: June 30, 2014 - Publication Date: 4th Quarter of 2014 * Submission Requirements * Submitted articles must be clearly written in good English.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers, Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities Datum: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:37:13 +0100 Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Antwort an: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Computer Communications Journal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities are technology-intensive cities in which the importance and role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding. ICT plays a key role toward the sustainable development of new urban environments. Buildings with smart sensors and control systems can measure their environment and control it in real time (e.g. HVAC). Smart metering allows a utility company to match its production to the demand, dynamically. An electricity provider can influence both production and demand through the use of smart grid technology. This special issue revolves on the following foundational question: what are the “unique” context characteristics, application and control needs, and traffic/user patterns in existing (and futuristic) smart city scenarios, which require a rethinking of networking and communication technologies and systems, as well as their relevant modeling and dimensioning methodologies? ---------------------------------------------- SCOPE ---------------------------------------------- The scope of this special issue is on purpose kept broad in terms of networking and communication technologies. Rather, perspective contributions are expected to sharply target aspects and requirements which clearly distinguish smart cities from general purpose networking and communication systems. We aim at assembling high quality papers which show how smart cities and sensor-generated traffic uniquely challenge current access and transport technologies and protocols, and bring about compelling solutions to such emerging issues, new modeling insights, new monitoring and control means, and so on. We especially welcome work devised to: • explore how existing technologies and protocols need to be revisited/adapted to fit the urban cities requirements, or, conversely, highlight latest technology shifts or propose new context-specific solutions; • provide experimentally supported models and feedbacks from urban-scale pilot and production deployments; • address emerging new applications and/or new challenges. ---------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------- • Machine to Machine services/patterns and their communication and networking support • Quality of Service, fairness provisioning and Service Level Agreementsfor dense deployments; • Multi-client large-scale networks (fairness, cohabitation) • Privacy for smart-metering (anonymity, presence detection, tracking) • Co-located Networks and inter-technology interference; • Multi-technology networks and inter-operability for the smart grid (e.g. PLC, IEEE 802.15.4, wirelessHART); • Mobile wireless networks for car traffic surveillance and management; • Emerging standards for urban wireless networks; • Experimental network measurements and characterization for urban environments; • Commercial applications, technological choices and success stories; • Prototypes, testbeds and pilot deployments (e.g. smart-metering, smart buildings, public transportation); Submission The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "SpecialIssue: Smart Cities" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------- Manuscript Due: January 15, 2014 First Round of Reviews: April 30, 2014 Revised Paper due: June 15, 2014 Final notification: July 15, 2014 ---------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS ---------------------------------------------- Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, giuseppe.bianchi(a)uniroma2.it V.

The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. The special session on mobile media sensing is an opportunity to foster dialogs and interactions between the MMSYS community and other research communities, in particular, researchers whose work lies in the intersection of media, mobile computing and sensing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile media applications, networks and systems - Innovative multimedia and mobile sensing applications - Novel models for combining multimedia and sensing - Wearable computing and innovative mobile devices - Software architectures for multimedia processing and mobile devices - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Support for mobile multimedia social networking - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing The papers will be published in the proceedings of MMSys, and authors will present their work in person at MMSys.

Scope: This workshop aims at gathering researchers and developers from the fields of the Internet of Things, Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Cities to discuss the technologies and research challenges associated to new applications and services in Smart Livable Cities. The Internet of Things is a key enabler for the realization of smart cities as it allows for the pervasive interaction with/between the smart things leading to an effective integration of information into the digital world. These smart (mobile) things – which are instrumented with sensing, actuation, and interaction capabilities - have the means to exchange information and influence the real world entities and other actors of a smart city eco-system in real time, forming a smart pervasive computing environment to achieve a more livable city. Pervasive Internet of Things and Smart Cities (PITSaC) is an International Workshop focused on the extension and integration aspects of the secure Internet of Things and pervasive computing technologies. The objective is to reach a global access to the services and information through, on the one hand, the so-called Web of Things and on the other hand, the efficient support for global communications, in order to embrace the machine to machine (M2M) communications in the future Internet of Things composed of IPv6 network and various smart things. This workshop will also address further issues such as the adaptation of legacy technologies and RFID to IPv6 and the Future Internet of Things, security and privacy requirements in Smart Cities and the design of a secure and privacy-aware Internet of Things as well as the definition of new advanced architectures and models for the Internet and its application to smart livable Cities. The tracks and topics that are considered, but not limited to, are the following: Tracks & Topics: Architectures for the Internet of Things - Architectures for the Internet of Things - Future technologies bridging the physical and virtual worlds - End to End / Machine to Machine (M2M) protocols - Cloud computing and things internetworking Web of Things - Web of Things and Semantic - Experiences with Open Platforms and hardware within IoT - Embedded Web Services (CoAP / Lightweight SOAP) - Lightweight data structured (EXI) Pervasive IoT - Location and discovery of things on the Internet - Applications and interaction for social networking - Novel concepts such as Crowd-sourcing - User-oriented, context-aware IoT services - Semantic technologies for devices and services Security, Trust, Privacy and Identity - Lightweight implementations of cryptographic stacks - Trust, security and privacy in IoT and Smart Cities - End to end security capabilities from the things - Identity, Naming and addressability issues - Privacy issues and technologies for the Internet of Things Smart cities - Business models and new services for smart cities - Mobile computing and smart phones interaction - Efficient resource management (water, energy…) - Building automation and smart buildings - Smart cities deployments, test-beds and field trials Co-organized by: IoT6 European Project Important Dates: Submission deadline: December 15th, 2013 Acceptance Notification: January 15 th,2014 Final Manuscript: Feburary 15th, 2014 Registration deadline: January 28th, 2014 Workshop dates: May 13-16, 2014 Submission Guidelines All submissions to PITSaC should be written in English, including figures and references, using 10 font size, and numbering each page, 6 pages are the limit.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] [CFP] Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2014, WoWMoM workshop); Submission by March 7, 2014 Datum: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:56:53 +1100 Von: Olivier Mehani <olivier.mehani(a)NICTA.COM.AU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please let me know if it is undesirable to send CfPs to this list, and accept my apologies if this is the case.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Eighth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2014) June 16, 2014 - Sydney, Australia http://aoc2014.conference.nicta.com.au Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom **** Submission Deadline --- March 7, 2014 **** --------------------------------------------------------------------- The recent proliferation of sensor-rich portable devices is enabling novel communication paradigms for users and contributing to the implementation of the ubiquitous computing and networking vision. Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity. Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2014 workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas, discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous editions, this year's workshop is particularly interested in novel research directions, such as service composition techniques, co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights from game theory, social networking analysis, and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2014 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretical insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobile Social networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required and present his/her work at the workshop. We will use a free submission system for processing the submissions and reviews. Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).
