The NOM workshop is particularly interested in Information Centric Network (ICN) advances in support of the mobile and wireless space. Name-oriented network architectures appear very promising for wireless and mobile networks, such as for instance IoT among wireless and mobile devices that could not scale well up till now, home networks among wireless and mobile hand held devices that constitute the majority of end-users devices, wireless sensor networks for smart spaces and vehicular networks which account a large, and exponentially increasing number of devices and connections that clearly suffer from the lack of mobility management in the IP architecture and the lack of an efficient data storage and sharing mean. Moreover, within the context of multimedia and video services and the huge demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content, ICN is promising in offering an alternative or complementing to the proprietary or specialized content distribution mechanisms, such as CDN and P2P systems, and aims for improved content access through general Internet mechanisms for content replication and! dissemination among not only core network devices but also wireless edge network devices and wireless and mobile end-users devices. We encourage submissions of high quality technical papers on mobile and wireless ICN work in the following topics: - ICN mobile/wireless architectures and platforms - Compelling applications and services for ICN for wireless and mobile networks (IoT, smart environments, home networks, ……) - ICN deployment models for wireless and mobile networks (Clean-slate, evolutionary, …) - Technical deployment of ICN into operational networks (specialized hardware ICN routers, ICN software into virtualized nodes, etc.) - ICN scalability to high density network deployments (e.g. for IoT applications) - Impact of ICN on mobile/wireless protocols and systems - Mobility management in ICN considering multiple radio technologies - ICN support for seamless and simultaneous connectivity across multiple links - ICN tolerance to disruption in wireless and mobile links - Policy management with ICN - ICN in relation to CDNs and Cloud Services - Cooperation between ICN and CDN networks - Standardization efforts impacting mobile ICN - Data naming and Objects Identification in wireless and mobile networks - Radio resources management and congestion control - Context-awareness in ICN - Intelligent in-network Caching in ICN for better network resources optimization and user experience - ICN role in wireless and mobile User Experience - ICN Security and Privacy - Forwarding strategies in wireless and mobile ICN - Performance evaluation for wireless and mobile ICNs Workshop Chairs Jun Bi, Tsinghua University, China Hassnaa Moustafa, Intel Corporation, USA Bertrand Mathieu, Orange, France Steering Committee Eve Schooler, Intel Corporation, USA Giovanni Pau, UCLA, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA Jun Bi, Tsinghua University, China Hassnaa Moustafa, Intel Corporation, USA Bertrand Mathieu, Orange, France Prof. Xiaoming Fu, Gottingen University, Germany Important Dates Paper Submission due: December 30th 2013 Acceptance Notification: February 7th 2014 Camera-ready version: February 28th 2014 Workshop date: April 28th or May 2nd 2014 Manuscript submissions All submissions must be original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere.

Mag. *** C a l l f o r P a p e r s *** IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) NEW DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2013 http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0814.html Introduction Successful city management relies on urban dynamics and social event monitoring to provide essential information for decision making. In traditional sensing techniques such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), distributed sensors are leveraged to acquire real world conditions. However, static sensing is affected by several conditions, such as insufficient node coverage, high installation/maintenance cost, and lack of scalability. Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) presents a new sensing paradigm based on the power of various mobile devices/objects (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, sensor-equipped vehicles, etc.). The sheer number of mobile device users and their inherent mobility enables a new and fast-growing sensing paradigm: the ability to acquire local knowledge through sensor-enhanced mobile devices ®C e.g., location, personal and surrounding context, noise level, traffic conditions, and in the future more specialized information such as pollution ®C and the possibility to share this knowledge within the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers such as municipalities for example. The information collected by the mobile devices on the ground combined with the support of the cloud where data fusion takes place, make mobile sensing a versatile platform that can often replace static sensing infrastructures, and enabling a broad range of applications from urban dynamic mining, public safety, environment monitoring, just to name a few. Numerous and unique research challenges arise from the mobile crowd sensing paradigm ranging from participatory and opportunistic data collection, proper incentive mechanisms, transient network communication, and big data processing. By having human participation in the loop, several other issues regarding to the privacy and security of data (e.g., sensitive information such as human voice, location may be revealed), quality/trust of the data contributed (e.g., there might be fake or malicious nodes involved) should also be addressed. This feature topic issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this feature topic on Mobile Crowd Sensing is threefold: -to promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; -to identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; -to exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. Topics may include (but are not limited to): - Architecture/Framework Design - Participatory Data Collection (node selection, data sampling, scheduling sensing) - Opportunistic Sensing and Communication - Sensor Performance and Types for MCS - Incentive Mechanisms for MCS - Communication in Weak/Transient Networking Environments - Big Data Processing and Urban/Social Mining - Privacy, Security, and Trust Issues in MCS - Social and Psychological Issues in MCS - Energy Efficiency in MCS - Emerging/Novel Application Areas of MCS - Performance Evaluation of MCS Submissions Papers must be tailored to the problems of mobile crowd sensing and explicitly consider above issues. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

ICTs has been rapidly adopted by tourist businesses and authorities in a bid to gaining advantage over competitors. e-Tourism emerged as a promising revision of the previous business models and initiatives related to tourism, with the advent of web technologies. ‘Mobile tourism’ extended the notion of e-Tourism to meet the vision of tourist services provision to nomadic users with no spatial–temporal restrictions. The recent developments in mobile hardware and software allowed for the provision of a new range of personalized, context-aware services that were not previously feasible. Further on, improvements in the area of mobile communications and networking have increased the availability of wireless bandwidth thereby providing new possibilities for exchanging and sharing data among tourists. Smartphones, mobile and wearable sensors, and other portable systems are commonly used to collect and exchange data as well as to infer personal, social and environmental context. Along this line, pervasive technologies open profound opportunities for the tourism industry and have the potential to revolutionize the tourist experience, delivering added-value services to tourists 'on the move'. However, before such applications can be widely deployed and used, several fundamental technical, social and business challenges need to be addressed. The proposed SI aims at publishing outstanding articles describing innovative applications and frameworks that enable the use of mobile and pervasive technologies in tourism and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising area of research. We invite research papers as well as papers which address challenges in developing industrial-strength mobile and pervasive applications. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: § Novel context-aware applications in mobile/pervasive tourism § Context reasoning and modeling in mobile/pervasive tourism § Recommender systems in mobile/pervasive tourism § Augmented and mixed reality applications in mobile tourism § Pervasive games in tourism § Novel edutainment applications in mobile/pervasive tourism § Novel indoors mobile/pervasive tourist applications § RFID/NFC-based mobile tourism applications § Travel navigation and assistance applications § Participatory sensing applications in tourism § Crowd sourcing in mobile tourism § Information sharing and social interaction in pervasive tourism § User-generated content in mobile tourism § Efficient algorithmic solutions in support of computationally-intensive mobile tourist applications § Interactive surfaces and walls in support of tourist applications § HCI issues and interaction models in mobile/pervasive tourist applications § (Innovative) applications requirements, performance, and benchmarking § Field trials, user acceptance and evaluation studies § Security, privacy, fault-tolerance and resiliency in mobile and pervasive tourism Important Dates: Paper submission: 15 Jan 2014 1st round notification: 15 April 2014 Expected publication: Last Quarter 2014 Guest Editors: Damianos Gavalas University of the Aegean, Greece Email: dgavalas(a)aegean.gr<mailto:dgavalas@aegean.gr> Maha El Choubassi American University of Beirut, Lebanon me87(a)aub.edu.lb<mailto:me87@aub.edu.lb> Ángel García Crespo Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain acrespo(a)ia.uc3m.es<mailto:acrespo@ia.uc3m.es> Paolo Bellavista Università di Bologna, Italy Email: paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it<mailto:paolo.bellavista@unibo.it> Submission Guidelines: All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

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.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks"
by Lars Wolf 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

-------- 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. Manuscripts must be written in English, contain substantial tutorial content, and be accessible to a broad general audience working in other fields. Please submit manuscripts to Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee, and select the category "January 2015/Extremely Dense Wireless Networks." ** IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript Submission Due: May 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: November 1, 2014 Publication Date: January 2015 ** GUEST EDITORS David Chieng, MIMOS Berhad (Malaysia) Claudio Cicconetti, Intecs S.p.A.

Now that many of the fundamental topics and challenges have been deeply investigated, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include data-centric operations, autonomous organization, service creation/support, continued operation under intermittent connectivity, optimization, control, cross-layer design and application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, smart cities, energy efficient buildings, sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.). Moreover, novel and exciting challenges are introduced by commercial systems adopting the ad hoc paradigm, from mesh, sensor and vehicular networks, and by associated delay-tolerant and opportunistic scenarios. Furthermore, today's market explosion of smart phones is creating new opportunities for wireless ad hoc social networks, the study of which requires the combination of opportunistic ad hoc networking aspects with the understanding of social behavior and mobility patterns. MED-HOC-NET 2014 focuses on all the ramifications of ad hoc networking research, not only the classic topics of location management, security/privacy, topology optimization/control schemes and resource allocation, but also paying attention to novel emerging areas such as green networking, safety/surveillance, underwater communications, and coexistence among heterogeneous devices. The Workshop is endorsed by the IEEE Communication Society and its Technical Committees for Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Information Infrastructure & Networking, and Radio Communication, and by IFIP. TOPICS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers are solicited in a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, mesh, delay-tolerant, content-centric and opportunistic networks, including but not limited to: -Routing algorithms and protocols -MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation -Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks -Middleware for ad hoc networks -Application driven architectures and protocols -Sensor network applications and protocols -Vehicular networks -Cognitive radio networks -Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks -Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes -Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.) -Self organization and network reconfiguration -Optimization models and algorithms -Resource and service discovery -Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) -Security and privacy -Delay tolerant networks -Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking -Mobile social networks -Security and privacy -Participatory and urban sensing -Underwater wireless networks -Heterogeneous networks -Novel performance measures -Green networking -Cooperative schemes -Network localization -Network secrecy -Networking virtualization -Services based, and enabled by Ad Hoc networks IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers Due: March 3, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: April 7, 2014 Camera-Ready Version due: May 4, 2014 Conference Dates: June 2-4, 2014 PAPER SUBMISSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication.Submissions are limited to 8 pages in length in Two-Column Format, including references, figures and tables.

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.
