-------- 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.

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.

With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities. This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * app and app store security and privacy; * benchmarking and evaluation of mobile security solutions; * bots on mobile devices; * cloud security and privacy, as related to mobile devices; * mobile device forensics; * security and privacy in mobile device operating systems and middleware; * mobile malware collection, statistics, and analysis; * mobile services and social networking security; * reverse engineering and automated analysis of mobile malware; * security for smart payment applications, including near-field communication; * standardization efforts related to developing and vetting mobile apps; * testbeds and case studies for mobile platforms; * traffic monitoring and detection algorithms for mobile platforms; * usability of approaches for mobile security and privacy; * virtualization solutions for mobile security; and * Web browser security on mobile devices. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style.

The fast growth and adoption of novel techniques and technologies (for instance, virtualization and cloud computing) pose new management challenges that must be addressed. Although some of them are already used in telecommunication networks, the full potential that can be achieved is yet to be realized. The Mobile Networks and Management (MONAMI) conference has streamlined, since 2009, some of the most avant-garde research on these topics, including smart objects management.

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). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Workshop Papers EMUTools (Simutools 2014 conference) Datum: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:43:28 +0100 (CET) Von: EAI Events <no-reply(a)eai.eu> Antwort an: no-reply(a)eai.eu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [View the web version](http://eai.mailmta.com/nl/n.jsp?uH.-T.XyF.IO.Bj.ejM1) EMUTools 2014 –2nd Workshop on Emulation Tools, Methodology and Techniques March 17-19, 2014, Lisbon, Portugal Collocated with SIMUTools 2014 www.simutools.org Scope: EMUTools, 2nd workshop on Emulation Tools, Methodology and Techniques, is a major event dedicated to emulation tools and methodology, collocated with SIMUTools 2014. Emulators represent a family of tools where real and emulated components interact at various levels and scales with external elements. Where simulators aim at evaluating the performance and conformity of models, emulators aim at evaluating that of real components in the real execution environment. The potential of emulators have been acknowledged, notably as a validation and integration technique (or methodology) prior to deployment, and as a complementary approach to field-operational tests. Emulators have also recently been subject to an increasing interest from practitioners in various fields of research. Yet, emulation tools have experienced only little dedicated visibility from the community to breed inter-disciplinary collaborative research and exchange of ideas in the very specific and challenging methodologies and techniques required by emulator tools, or available in major emulation platforms. The workshop therefore aims at providing an interaction environment between academic and industrial researchers along with practitioners in the emulation field. EMUTools proposes to address research challenges in the emulation methodologies, architecture, analysis, applicability, performance, practice and platforms. This event also aims as building a bridge between the simulation and emulation communities to foster collaborative research to address common challenges in the complementary fields of emulation and simulation. Topics: We invite submissions of original high quality work in the area of emulation methodology, techniques, tools and applications. EMUTools’ general area includes but is not limited to: • Emulation Methodology: architecture, distributed systems, load-balancing, multi-processor, scalability, cloud, emulation-as-a-service. • Emulation Techniques: multi-granularity, co-emulation/simulation, application, system, protocol or channel emulation. • Emulation Tools: framework, software, platforms, front-end/back-end, and interactions between different simulation and emulation tools. The workshop invites submissions in application areas implicating emulation methodology, techniques or tools. Specific topics include (but are not limited to): • Wireless technologies and access networks (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) • Backbone and core network (LTE, LTE-A, Internet) • Peer-2-Peer and overlay networks • Cloud systems and networks • Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems • Infrastructure systems (transportation, smart grid) • Intelligent transportation systems • Cyber-physical systems • E-Health • Sensors and M2M networks Submission Instructions: We invite three types of submissions: • Full papers up to 10 pages • Short papers up to 6 pages for work-in-progress aspects All submissions to the workshop should contain aspects of EMUTools’ general area, with emulation methodology, techniques or tools playing a central role. We particularly welcome submissions of case studies, where emulation methodology, techniques and tools will be proposed to reduce the gap between scalability, applicability and usability. All submissions should be written in English, be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format, and be original research that is unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication. All submissions to EMUTools 2014 should be submitted via the SIMUTools 2014 conference website in PDF format. At least on author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the work in person at the EMUTools workshop. Submissions should be written in English, be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format, and be original research that is unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication. Paper should be submitted only in .pdf format on Easychair at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emutools2014. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers, assessing their originality, correctness, and relevance to EMUTools general area, as well as their writing quality. In exceptional circumstances (such as papers evidently out of scope), some submissions may not receive full-length reviews and may be rejected summarily. To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, all submissions should include the FULL list of authors. The author list may only be changed prior to the submission deadline. Publication: Accepted papers presented at the workshop will appear along with the SIMUTools 2014 electronic proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Andreea (Picu) Hossmann" <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Gesendet: Mon Nov 11 20:23:18 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] Due date extended *four days* to November 15, 2013! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS athttp://edas.info/N15441. IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 11, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2013 - Camera ready: Late January, 2014 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Theus Hossmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Henrik Blunck, University of Aarhus, Denmark Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR Jordi Cucurull, Scytl Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Liam McNamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Min Wu, Oracle Corporation, USA Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK Yaxiong Zhao, Amazon.com Inc, USA Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy PUBLICITY CHAIR Andreea (Picu) Hossmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland -- -- Andreea (Picu) Hossmann Communication Systems Group (CSG), ETH Zurich Web: www.csg.ethz.ch/people/apicu Office: ETZ G 96, Gloriastrasse 35, 8006 Zurich Phone: +41 44 632 6894 Fax: +41 44 632 1035 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
