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. Articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope for all submissions. All submissions deemed to be in-scope for this special issue, original, and clear in presentation will be sent out for peer review to three experts in the field and will be evaluated with respect to level of innovation, depth of contribution, and quality of presentation. It is very important that submitted papers must not be under consideration by other journals or publications. Author guidelines can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-auth… for preparation of articles. The Elsevier Editorial System must be used for all manuscripts and any supplementary material. Select article type ‘Green Communications’ on submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Computer SI on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security Datum: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 22:43:35 +0800 Von: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [ My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Call for Articles for IEEE Computer Computer seeks submissions for a June 2014 special issue on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security. 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.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Massively Multiplayer Online Games Technologies and Applications IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing Special Issue/Section June Issue 2014 http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_mmogt… IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Section on Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) Technologies and Applications scheduled to appear in the June Issue of 2014. MMOGs are gaining an increasing importance worldwide because they pose a number of new challenges to science, engineering, and industry, not to mention that they constitute a vibrant market that involves large budgets and businesses. These challenges may be understood from three points of view: computing, information, and communication. Having computers capable of dealing with massive data and computations per time unit is essential for online games demanding interactive rates or real-time, but it is not least true we need enough network bandwidth in order to guarantee that the game updates across the network are conveyed and received without lags. Recall that online games as, for example, World of Warcraft has over ten million subscribers with a peak of about half a million players interacting simultaneously within a virtual world. In general terms, we can even say that computer games constitute the driving force behind the new generation of high-end GPU-based personal computers that produce stunning graphics and deliver massive general-purpose computations. This special issue will cover enabling technologies for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs in other domains like military training, e-learning, among others. The focus will be mostly on the technological aspects of games, i.e., the computing (e.g., load balancing), information (e.g., persistent worlds), and communication (e.g., networking topologies as P2P), but high-quality papers that tackle these technological aspects in non-massive multiuser games may be also considered if they are able to contribute with solutions that can benefit MMOGs too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to:  Security Issues, Anti-Cheating Solutions, and Trust Modeling  Computer-Human Interaction, User Behavior Analysis, Game Design Experience  Scalability, Quality of Service and Latency Compensation Techniques  Network Protocols, Traffic Analysis and Modeling  Decentralized / Peer to Peer / Overlay Networks  System Design / Architecture  Sensor Networks for Games  Grid and Cloud Computing and Mobile Games  GPUs and Networks for Games  Seamless Movement and Migration of Players  Persistent Worlds and Embedded Databases Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. As an author, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to our submission guidelines. You can access them at the IEEE Computer Society web site, www.computer.org. Please thoroughly read these before submitting your manuscript. TETC is the newest Transactions of the IEEE Computer Society with Open Access only. Please submit your paper to Manuscript Central at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tetc-cs Please note the following important dates.  Submission Deadline: October 31, 2013  Reviews Completed: December 12, 2013  Major Revisions Due: January 20, 2014  Notification of Final Accept: March 16, 2014  Publication Materials Due: March 30, 2014  Targeted Issue: Apr-Jun 2014 issue Please address all other correspondence regarding this special Section to both Guest Editors A.

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.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE - Context-Aware Networking and Communications
by Lars Wolf 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

-------- 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). 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 -- Igor Bisio - Ph.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Routing in Smart Grid Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 03 Oct '13

-------- 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.

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).
