Using this paradigm, ordinary citizens can collect multi-modal data streams (e.g., audio, video, sound, location coordinates, etc.) from the surrounding environment using their mobile devices and share the same using existing communication infrastructure (e.g., cellular services or WiFi access points). The data contributed from multiple participants can be combined to build a spatiotemporal view of the phenomenon of interest and also to extract important community statistics. Given the ubiquity of mobile phones and the high density of people in metropolitan areas, participatory sensing can achieve an unprecedented level of coverage in both space and time for observing events of interest in urban spaces. The Participatory Sensing and Crowdsourcing track at ISSNIP 2014 is designed to attract diverse participation from researchers and practitioners working at the leading edge in participatory sensing and crowdsourcing technologies. This necessarily covers a broad spectrum of topics, representative of the cross-cutting nature of the area -- from novel applications, to making sense of large-scale sensor data, to human computer interaction, to practical experiments. We solicit original and unpublished manuscripts on various aspects of participatory sensing, including (but not limited to) the following topics: - Novel applications - Participatory sensing, opportunistic sensing and crowdsourcing paradigms - Middleware support and programming models - Mining large scale multi-modal sensor data - Intersections with cloud technologies - Interactions between mobile devices and humans - Novel user interfaces - Energy-efficient sensing - Activity recognition and high-level inferences - User privacy issues - Incentive mechanisms to motivate participation - Assessing data trustworthiness - Synergies between online social networks and participatory sensing - Application deployment issues and experiences with large-scale deployment FORMATTING GUIDELINES Please follow the IEEE ISSNIP 2014 Formatting: http://issnip2014.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/authors.php SYMPOSIUM CHAIRS Salil Kanhere, The University of New South Wales, Australia Tony Tie Luo, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore TECHNICAL PROGRAMME COMMITTEE MEMBERS Delphine Christin, Technical University Darmstadt, Germany Chun Tung Chou, The University of New South Wales, Australia Pradipta De, SUNY, Korea Raghu Ganti, IBM Research, USA Vana Kalogeraki, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Ioannis Krontiris, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Kun-Chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Archan Misra, Singapore Management University, Singapore Thanasis Papaioannou, EPFL, Switzerland Venkataraman Ramakrishna, IBM Research, India Rajib Rana, CSIRO, Australia Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Paul Roe, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Vijay Sivaraman, The University of New South Wales, Australia Aniruddha Sinha, Tata Consultancy Services, India Chen Khong Tham, National University of Singapore, Singapore Kuldeep Yadav, Xerox Research, India Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research, USA Dejun Yang, Colorado School of Mines, USA Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, Cyprus ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE - Context-Aware Networking and Communications Datum: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 09:30:22 +0200 Von: Igor Bisio <igor.bisio(a)UNIGE.IT> Antwort an: Igor Bisio <igor.bisio(a)UNIGE.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE Context-Aware Networking and Communications Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user's context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). This feature topic's scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture Context-aware green communications and computing networking Context-aware modeling and analysis methods Context-aware security approaches Context-aware distributed systems Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web Context-aware data storage and cloud computing Context-aware recommender systems Context-awareness in smart spaces Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Context-aware communications services and applications Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing Mobile phone sensing Personal awareness in smart environments Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers Context-aware social networks Urban awareness for communications and networking Social agents and avatars Virtual humans for communications and networking Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 20:57:31 -0500 Von: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> Antwort an: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)CS.SIU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2 weeks to deadline! ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal "Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks ------------------------------------------------------------ With the recent initiatives to upgrade the existing power grid to a Smart Grid, there has been a significant interest in the design and development of an efficient communication infrastructure for connecting different components of the Smart Grid. In addition to currently used underlying networks and protocols, new wired/wireless networks and protocols are planned to be deployed for different components/applications of the Smart Grid. Based on the data requirements of the applications, new challenges have arisen at the network layer of the protocol stack with respect to routing and data forwarding. Smart Grid is expected to be a multi-tier network supported by a hybrid mesh of different communications technologies to provide efficient and reliable access to grid components in diverse environments. Mainly, there will be three components of this multi-tier network which can be deploying a variety of communications networks. These networks are known as Home Area Network (HAN)/ Field Area Networks (FAN), Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Recent research on Smart Grid mostly focused on the security and privacy aspects of its applications. While some of the current routing protocols designed for wireless networks can be partially used in some of the Smart Grid networks, unique characteristics of Smart Grid applications as well as the large-scale size of the infrastructure necessitates new research at the network layer. In particular, there are several key issues need to be addressed in order to support network interconnectivity across the Smart Grid communication infrastructure that consists of HANs, NANs and WANs. For instance, scalability is an issue if a wireless infrastructure is to be used given that current wireless networking protocols are geared for small-size networks. In this respect, employment of power-line communications requires careful adaptation of the current routing protocols to address interference issues on power-lines. Another important issue is security since Smart Grid will consist of multiple-interconnected networks with diverse underlying communication technology, ownership and management. The availability and reliability of the Smart Grid as well as certain privacy information such as power usage data from each household need to be protected en route to the destination. Furthermore, the communication infrastructure will require status monitoring, fault detection, isolation, and recovery that pertain to rerouting. Finally, the ability to uniquely identify elements in the network and routing capabilities to all network end points for a wide range of applications with different quality of service (QoS) requirements will need to be addressed. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of routing in several networks of Smart Grid with different goals, characteristics and limitations. We solicit papers which will address routing challenges that are unique to Smart Grid and address major issues such as security, privacy, reliability, QoS, interference and scalability which pertain to Smart Grid applications. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to - Scalable routing protocols for NANs and FANs - Efficient routing protocols in HANs - Novel routing protocols in powerline communications - Adaptation of existing routing protocols for powerline communications - QoS routing on NANs for Demand Response and WASA (Wide Area Situational Awareness) applications - Secure routing protocols in HANs and NANs - Reliable routing in lossy environments - User privacy and routing trade-offs in HANs and NANs - QoS and security tradeoffs in routing HANs and NANs - Interoperability, standardization and node heterogeinty in routing across HANs, NANs and WANs - Node placement and routing performance issues - Routing protocols for fault-detection and recovery - Data aggregation and routing - Cross-layer routing via multiple channels and MIMO - Routing experiences in testbeds and real-life applications - Support for aggregation and disaggregation of Smart Grid data in support for temporal and spatial visibility - In-network processing and sharing of distributed generation and renewable energy source and its communications infrastructure - Routing support for bad data detection - Interference and routing interrelations and techniques to mitigate the performance Degradations - Routing techniques to deal with massive data from Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and smart meters Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] Due Nov. 1 - CFP: IEEE Commun. Mag. Feature Topic Issue on Context-Aware Networking and Communications Datum: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 06:35:08 -0700 (PDT) Von: Jinsong Wu <jwu_res(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Jinsong Wu <jwu_res(a)yahoo.com> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on Context-Aware Networking and Communications http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0614.htm Submission Deadline: November 1, 2013 Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and applications to the changing user's context. The context is the information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing information about the present status of people, places, things and devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness allows for customization or creation of the application to match the preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as enterprise environment or home network. A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements), physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.). Another area in this field deals with the Object Context Awareness. Context awareness may be implemented using quite different aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network controls and network implementation). This feature topic's scope will include both computing and communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and context-aware social networks. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and Communications. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following: Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture Context-aware green communications and computing networking Context-aware modeling and analysis methods Context-aware security approaches Context-aware distributed systems Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Context-aware semantic networking, including semantic Web Context-aware data storage and cloud computing Context-aware recommender systems Context-awareness in smart spaces Context-awareness in wireless/wired networks Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction Context-aware communications services and applications Location-aware services and/or context-aware location tracking Context-aware messaging and/or addressing and/or routing Mobile phone sensing Personal awareness in smart environments Social context understanding and/or social interaction among peers Context-aware social networks Urban awareness for communications and networking Social agents and avatars Virtual humans for communications and networking Standardizations and regulations for context-aware information networking and communications Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the Authors Guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines). All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com, select "June 2014/Context-Aware Networking and Communications" from the drop-down menu), according to the following timetable: Submission Deadline: November 1, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2014 Publication Date: June, 2014 Guest Editors Jinsong Wu, Bell Laboratories, China, wujs(a)ieee.org Igor Bisio, University of Genoa, Italy, igor.bisio(a)unige.it Haibo Li, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, haiboli(a)kth.se Ekram Hossain, University ofManitoba, Canada, ekram(a)EE.UManitoba.CA Chris Gniady, University of Arizona, USA, gniady(a)cs.arizona.edu Massimo Valla, Telecom Italia S.p.A., Italy, massimo.valla(a)telecomitalia.it

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 at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

While more advances in areas like renewable energies and network control are necessary, advances in communication technologies, data fusion and mining, as well as scheduling and optimization are also critical in order to achieve this vision. It is anticipated that the same communication technologies that have revolutionized our way of life in the past decades, ranging from sensor networks, mobile Internet, cloud computing, smart phones and many others, will have direct applicability to Smart Grid. Many off-the-shelf and commercial communication technologies may be ready for deployment in the Smart Grid today. Examples include the use of wireless communications to collect and exchange information about electric quality, consumption, pricing, etc. However, allowing greater flexibility in sharing information in a secure and reliable fashion still poses a number of challenges. Furthermore, using off-the-shelves technologies may lead to inefficiencies, especially if energy management specific features are not utilized adequately in the data compression and the collection infrastructure. Questions that remain unanswered in the smart grid context, include, coverage, interference, spectrum sharing, architecture, network! topology, access control and authentication, data representation, data fusion and many more. This series of IEEE JSAC is focused on identifying the numerous communication challenges posed by the various aspects and functionalities of the Smart Grid and exploring research avenues for addressing them. Original contributions that are unpublished and not currently under review by any other journal are solicited in relevant areas of Smart Grid communications including (but not limited) to the following: • Physical and MAC layer protocols for Smart Grid applications • Spectrum sharing, coexistence and interference mitigation in Smart Grid communications • Network control for the power grid • Smart Grid sensors data fusion and mining models • Communications to support demand-response, load and pricing management • Smart Grid cyber-physical network modeling and performance analysis • Measurement data from Smart Grid testbeds and field trials • Architecture and network topology for Smart Grid applications • Cyber and physical vulnerabilities and Smart Grid security Each submission should demonstrate clear applicability to Smart Grid communications. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the information for authors (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). All papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11249) according to the following timetable: Manuscript submission: October 22, 2013 Author notification: February 28, 2014 Final manuscript submission: March 21, 2014 Publication: July 2014 Editorial Team Dr. Nada Golmie, National Institute of Standards and Technology Prof. Lang Tong, Cornell University Prof. Sean Smith, Dartmouth College Prof. Sumit Roy, University of Washington Prof. Jelena Misic, Ryerson University Prof. Alejandro Dominguez-Garcia, University of Illinois Prof. Ram Rajagopal, Stanford University ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: SI Elsevier Computer Communications & IoT Datum: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:42:05 +0200 Von: Matthias Waehlisch <waehlisch(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Matthias Waehlisch <waehlisch(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Deadline Extension: Due to numerous requests, we extended the paper submission deadline until *October 15, 2013*. Call for Papers Special Issue on "Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and Services for the Internet of Things" will be published in Elsevier Computer Communications Scope The Internet of Things (IoT) started as a research topic more than a decade ago and evolved towards partial deployment in the last few years. It describes the integration of magnitudes of smart devices into the current Internet. Those devices challenge Internet architectures and protocols. They may exhibit very limited resources making the direct application of common approaches nearly impractical. On the other hand, they significantly increase heterogeneity, which complicates the extension of the status quo. The Internet of Things has continuously been discussed. Related compilations of contributions usually miss two important aspects. First, the analysis of IoT approaches that have been deployed or will be available soon in the current Internet. Analyzing those solutions may help to understand relevant aspects of a successful deployment and to identify common pitfalls while IoT approaches have been designed. Second, deployed protocols need a careful revisit. In contrast to well-established Internet protocols and architectures, IoT techniques are fresh and not fully developed on the same level. In addition, new network paradigms emerge, which need to be considered for a sustainable future IoT. In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a special focus on current and future deployment. They should contribute to at least one of the following aspects. (1) Identifying and solving open technical problems. (2) Performing thorough evaluation and comparison of existing proposals or standards. (3) Addressing integrative aspects towards a full-fledged IoT deployment. (4) Enabling new services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Wireless, wired, and hybrid networks - IETF proposals such as RPL and 6LoWPAN - Privacy and security - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Integration of future Internet paradigms such as ICN - Machine to Machine communications in IoT scenarios - Energy efficiency in smart object scenarios - IoT management and interoperability - Participatory and global sensing - Performance measurement and tuning, scalability - Simulation and analytical studies - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Schedule Submission deadline: October 15, 2013 (extended) Author notification: January 31, 2014 Revised paper due: March 15, 2014 Final author notification: April 15, 2014 Expected publication: Fall 2014 Guest Editors Matthias Wählisch Freie Universität Berlin, Germany waehlisch(a)ieee.org Damla Turgut University of Central Forida, USA turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu Tom Pfeifer Technical University of Berlin, Germany t.pfeifer(a)computer.org Anura P.
