By 2030, the world population is expected to be nearly 60% urban, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to 70%, according to the United Nations. With populations growing, cities need to face increasing and critical problems of urban environments. From transportation to green/smart buildings, urban agriculture, environmental monitoring, energy storage and public safety/security, all of these new applications rely on the deployment of smart object networks offering a high degree of scalability, reliability, and security. This is why we believe that current and probable future green engineering challenges in building smarter cities must employ the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm to enable the creation of urban and sustainable cyber-physical systems. *Scope* The scope of this special issue is to explore state-of-the-art research covering a variety of concepts on green engineering in building smart cities in an efficient and sustainable way. Original, unpublished manuscripts in any aspects of Green Engineering and Smart Green Cities (SGC) are welcomed for this special issue. The topics of interest include, but are not limited, to: - Cyber-physical systems for SGC - IP smart objects, green clouds and Sensing as a Service (SaaS) for SGC - IoT architectures and platforms for SGC - IoT privacy, security and trust management in smart green environments - Sensor applications for a SGC (e.g. smart parking, structural health monitoring, traffic congestion, smart street lighting) - Content-Centric Networking in SGC - Electric vehicles, smart grids and microgrids - Energy-aware and green ICT infrastructures for SGC - Energy harvesting, energy saving and carbon footprint reduction - Case studies and innovative applications for SGC - Prototypes, experimental testbeds and simulation environments *Submission details* High quality contributions not yet published and not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed events are sought. Manuscripts should be submitted to the Elsevier Editorial System (http://ees.elsevier.com/compeleceng/). A guide for authors in preparing their papers is available at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computers-and-electrical-engineering/0045-….

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: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:46:06 +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. Manuscripts must be written in English, contain substantial tutorial content, and be accessible to a broad general audience working in other fields.

These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments).

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in road environment * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles *Submission guidelines:* The VTM workshop follows the formatting guidelines of IEEE VTC2014-Spring.

Simultaneous use of LEDs for both lighting and data communications is a sustainable and energy-efficient approach that has the potential to revolutionize how we use light. Besides indoor illumination, LEDs are being widely used in outdoor lighting, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. This makes possible the use of VLC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications which are key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). This workshop aims to provide a scientific forum to discuss the potential of VLC in the context of ITSs and identify the associated problems, challenges, requirements, and research directions. Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-pages, original, unpublished, full technical papers in the following topics of interest, but are not limited to: · Advanced coding and modulation techniques for V2V and V2I communications · MIMO VLC systems for vehicular networks · Multi-hop VLC vehicular networks · Effect of sunlight and ambient noise on vehicular VLC performance · LED pointing, acquisition and tracking · MAC and upper layer protocols for vehicular VLC networks · Centralized and distributed vehicular VLC networks · Navigation and positioning using VLC · VLC-based park assistance · VLC-based vehicle platoons · Advanced driver assistance systems · Vehicular area networks (VANETs) · Integration aspects with public lighting infrastructures · Hybrid RF/VLC vehicular networks · Intelligent transportation systems · VLC for high speed communication with trains · Test beds and field trials Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. Accepted full papers should not exceed 5 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted full papers longer than 5 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page. Papers cannot be longer than 7 pages. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through the TrackChair system (http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/ <http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928103&m=3373045&u=IEEE_V…>). All submitted papers will be subject to three independent reviews. Note: To be published in the IEEE VTC2014-Spring Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the workshop chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.

Participants are expected to share their views on which new technology enablers are going to be the pillars of the coming 5G mobile and wireless system. Those enablers may be components of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC or upper layers) or new architectural models. It is widely viewed that the future mobile infrastructure will have to cope not only with a quantitative growth of the requirements that we are facing today (higher capacity, data rate, number of connected devices) but also with qualitatively new requirements (higher reliability, larger versatility, application-domain specific topologies) resulting from a broader scope of applications over 5G networks. In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly connected devices in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks. To meet the demands beyond 2020, a system that broadens the use of today's wireless networks is needed. Fundamentally new concepts and design approaches are needed, and these must be integrated into systems that provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at low cost and low energy consumption. This workshop presents a forum for exchange of ideas between all stakeholders. We invite researchers to submit original papers in the following areas: * D2D communication * Machine-type communication/massive machine communication * Ultra-reliable networks and NSPS communication * Moving networks and vehicular-to-anything communication * Ultra-dense deployments * Radio network architectures including beyond cellular * Self-organizing networks and distributed features * Energy efficient networks * Network and massive MIMO * Network coding * Efficient air interfaces (low signaling overhead, energy consumption) * Optimizing radio access * Interference metrics, measurements and management * Millimeter-wave communication * Spectrum measurement and models * Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models * Cognitive radio networks * QoS provisioning and MAC protocol * Trust and security * Experimental prototypes and results related with the above topics *Important Dates:* * Paper Submission : 23 February, 2014 * Author Notification : 14 March, 2014 * Final paper submission : 24 March, 2014 *Paper Submission:* Papers should follow the 2-column IEEE conference template and not exceed 5 pages. Papers can be submitted through TrackChair at http://vtc2014spring-wk.trackchair.com/track/1242/submit <http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=29928105&m=3373045&u=IEEE_V…>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE IoT Journal - SI on IoV Datum: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:54:59 -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 INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Vehicles (IoV) The new era of Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the evolution of conventional Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANET) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm. According to recent predictions, 25 billion of “things” will be connected to the Internet by 2020 among which vehicles will constitute a significant portion. The difference of the vehicle concept in VANET and IoV makes these two scenarios essentially different in the device, communications, networking, and services aspects. In VANET, a vehicle is mainly considered as a node to disseminate messages among vehicles. In the IoV paradigm, each vehicle is considered as a smart object equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communications technologies, computation units, IP-based connectivity to the Internet and to other vehicles either directly or indirectly. In addition, a vehicle in IoV is envisioned as a multi-communication model, enabling the interactions between intra-vehicle components, vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and road, and vehicles and people. IoV enables the acquistion and processing of large amount of data from versatile geographical areas via intelligent vehicles computing platforms to offer various categories of services for road safety and other services to drivers and passengers. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize IoV. A typical challenge is the big data processing and storage in IoV due to huge number of connected vehicles. Personal cloud and mobile cloud computing are envisioned to play important roles in dealing with the big data. The seamless integration of the social context into IoV is a promising approach as well as an important question to achieve green transport. In addition, the wide penetration of electrical vehicles in the near future will demand a very careful consideration on the intelligent interactions between IoV and the smart grid. Here, the interactions are not limited to the communications and computation, but the power load scheduling within the demand response management framework in the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) network. All these issues are being studied in academics, industries, and standardization organizations. This special issue is seeking original contributions on IoV, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this area and discussing IoV challenges, key enabling techniques, platforms and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): • IoV architectures and services • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communications • V2G efficient demand response management • Vehicle social networks for IoV • Mobile cloud computing for IoV • Efficient big data analysis for IoV • Mobile sensing networking in IoV • Driverless vehicles and supporting technologies • Dynamic spectrum access technologies in IoV • IoV for efficient and green transportation • Urban sensing for environment monitoring • Security, privacy and trust in IoV • Novel applications and business models • Testbed platform and field trials • New network technologies for efficient service provision (e.g., content-centric network) Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: August 1st 2014 Revision Due: September1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 1st 2014 Final Manuscript Due: October 20th 2014 Publication Date: December 2014 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on IoV. Solicited original submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Computer Communications Journal -- extension Feb., 9 -- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities Datum: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 09:05:44 +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 Manuscript due: February 9, 2014 (extended deadline) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: February 9, 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.

Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - colocated with CPSWEEK Datum: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:23:34 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: lmottola(a)gmail.com <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2013 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2014.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Yu-Ching Hsu <YuChing(a)ITRI.ORG.TW> Gesendet: Mon Jan 13 02:05:16 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] (extended to Jan. 31) IEEE Wireless Comm. SI on Multihop Cellular The due date is extended to Jan. 31, 2014. IEEE Wireless Communications Feature Topic on "Multi-hop Cellular: From Research to Systems, Standards, and Applications" It has been more than 10 years since the Multi-hop Cellular Networks (MCN) architecture was first proposed in the year 2000. Fundamental researches have demonstrated the benefits of MCN in terms of system capacity, service coverage, and network connectivity. The actual concept behind the MCN architecture could be regarded as “relaying within a cell”, or operating base stations or access points with ad-hoc or mesh networking. This concept also pushed standard bodies to consider their solutions embedded with mesh or ad-hoc architectures, such as IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.16j, and IEEE 802.15.5. Now in the recent standards of 3GPP, ProSe (Proximity-based Services) and GCSE_LTE (Group Communication System Enablers for LTE) related working items also cover the device-to-device (D2D) communications with or without infrastructure. After many researches on protocols and architectures for IEEE series specifications have been done for Single-RAT (Radio Access Technology) MCN based on analytical models and simulations, other issues related to implementation, deployment and operations have emerged. From the 3GPP aspect, many research issues are still pending. For Multi-RAT MCN, further researches have to be done in considering the RAT capabilities of devices.

More than twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. IWQoS 2014 will continue to be a premier symposium on Quality of Service, providing an international forum for presentation and discussin of cutting edge research in the field. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and "green" computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The 2014 edition of the IEEE/ACM IWQoS Symposium will be held on May 26-27 2014 in Hong Kong, China. The scope of IWQoS 2014 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Quality of cloud services and cloud computing Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks Energy awareness in communication systems Design for the Future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Reviewing will be double-blind. Submissions must not reveal the authors' names and their affiliations. In other words, submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the symposium as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the symposium (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the symposium.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:41:01 -0700 Von: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers:Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Ubiquitous Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint Scope: The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing Tentative Schedule Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
