-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Elsevier Computer Communications Special Issue on Internet of Things Datum: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 19:24:52 +0300 Von: Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Special Issue on "Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and Services for the Internet of Things" with 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 In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a special focus on current and future deployment.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: September 15, 2013 Author notification: January 31, 2014 Revised paper due: March 15, 2014 Final author notification: April 15, 2014 Expected publication: Fall 2014 Guest Editors Matthias W‰hlisch Freie Universitat 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. Jayasumana Colorado State University, USA Anura.Jayasumana(a)colostate.edu Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Int. Workshop on Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks - Submission approaching! Datum: Mon, 3 Jun 2013 13:55:10 +0200 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ========================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are, nontheless, new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. Submissions must be fully anonimized, as REALWSN will apply a double-blind review process. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes on Electrical Engineering series and indexed by all major digital libraries (e.g., ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar, ...). All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21st, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well.

At MUM academics and practitioners gather to discuss challenges and achievements from diverse perspectives, in a single-track conference format. This year’s conference aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences. In addition to the peer-reviewed accepted papers, the conference program will include keynote presentations, posters, demos, an industry track, pre-conference workshops and a doctoral consortium. Accepted full and short papers, industry track papers, demos and posters will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. *Full and Short Papers:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We welcome high quality full and short paper submissions that offer an original contribution relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Successful full paper submissions typically represent a significant advance for the field. Short papers offer a focused contribution to the research program. Short papers are not work in progress reports but offer completed, rigorously researched/developed work that makes a significant contribution to the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Short papers are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than full papers, but they are expected to make a solid contribution to the field. Paper topics could include, but are not limited to the following: * Mobile and ubiquitous multimedia applications and systems * Mobile user interfaces, interaction design and techniques * Mobile games, entertainment and advertising * Mobile social network and multimedia services * Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services * Mobile Augmented Reality systems and applications * Architectures, systems and algorithms tackling technical challenges of mobile systems * Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous multimedia * Tools and development systems for building mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems * Case studies, field trials and user experience evaluations of new applications and services * Social and privacy implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format (max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format), that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Papers should be grounded in existing mobile and ubiquitous multimedia literature and knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous multimedia audience. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission elsewhere. Papers must be anonymized (remove author and institutional identities, acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the paper's contribution to the field. Submitted PDFs must be no larger than 10 megabytes. Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video (max 20 megabytes) to accompany their paper and to demonstrate their system at the conference. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair (will be linked well in advance of the deadlines). Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process, managed by the Technical Program Chairs. The final camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. Accepted full and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings. *Industry Track Papers:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Industry Track is targeted towards practitioners and professionals working in the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Industry Track papers should show the application, commercial aspects and practical challenges in the areas listed in the call for papers for full and short papers. Of special interest are also real-world examples that illustrate, e.g.: experiences in deploying and running such systems, lessons learnt in developing such systems and differences between research and practice. The difference to the full and short papers in the scientific track is in the practical, rather than strictly scientific, nature of the submissions. We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format (max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format). Papers should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous multimedia audience. Papers must be anonymized (remove author and institutional identities, acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the paper's contribution.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] CFP: Special Issue Elsevier Computer Communications & IoT Datum: Fri, 31 May 2013 16:11:16 +0200 Von: Antonio Jara <jara(a)um.es> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com 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: September 15, 2013 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 <mailto:waehlisch@ieee.org> Damla Turgut University of Central Forida, USA turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu <mailto:turgut@eecs.ucf.edu> Tom Pfeifer Technical University of Berlin, Germany t.pfeifer(a)computer.org <mailto:t.pfeifer@computer.org> Anura P. Jayasumana Colorado State University, USA Anura.Jayasumana(a)colostate.edu <mailto:Anura.Jayasumana@colostate.edu> Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. -- Matthias Waehlisch .

Fwd: CFP: Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science
by Lars Wolf 28 May '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Datum: Tue, 28 May 2013 00:04:41 +0000 Von: Nic Lane <niclane(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Nic Lane <niclane(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Co-located with ACM UbiComp'13 Zurich, Switzerland 9 September 2013 http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/MCSS2013/ *Scope of the Workshop* For decades, behavioral and social scientists have strived to understand the complex combination of factors that influence the decisions, activities and interactions of people in everyday life. Through conventional approaches, such as self-reports and controlled laboratory studies, considerable progress has been made. However, these methods have fundamental limitations in their ability to unobtrusively collect fine-grain behavioral data in natural settings. Recent advances in mobile sensing technology are promising to overcome these obstacles by delivering radically different tools for in-situ human behavior monitoring able to operate at much larger scales than previously thought possible. Today, mobile sensing platforms – primarily, mobile phones – are causing behavioral and social scientists to completely rethink how they study people in real-world environments. A variety of factors have combined to put mobile phones in this position. First, mobile phones are ubiquitous: there are billions of mobile phone users and the market continues to grow worldwide. Second, mobile phones are unobtrusive: due to their ubiquity, users are not consciously aware of the presence of mobile phones, unlike purpose-built devices that depend on user self-reports. Third, mobile phones are powerful and sensor rich platforms: today’s phones have many embedded sensors (e.g., accelerometer, Bluetooth, GPS, and magnetometer) that can accurately capture user behavior; they are also equipped with powerful processors, which allow applications to exploit computationally intensive algorithms to run locally on the phones. Finally, due to their proliferation, mobile phones systems can scale: experiments based on mobile applications can potentially reach millions of people. Before we can fully leverage the potential of mobile phone sensing systems, a variety of open problems must be addressed. For example, because mobile phones are energy constrained, efficient algorithms able to make accurate behavioral inferences from sensor data (with cloud resources exploited when needed) must be developed. Similarly, fundamental challenges remain in the management of personal data and the understanding of real-time processing of sensor workloads. If these technical challenges can be overcome mobile systems will represent a key building block for the emerging discipline of computational social science. The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers either active, or interested, in mobile systems for social analysis and applications. We anticipate a lively forum to discuss recent advances in the design, implementation and evaluation of this new class of mobile systems. The workshop will be open to contributions from researchers from various domains who tackle these challenging research problems using their own unique perspective. The aim is to discuss the many open issues in this area towards identifying novel solutions to be investigated – in addition to fostering collaborations among the workshop participants. We will especially welcome highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking or confirming existing system design methodology, for example by means of new experimental results. We invite submit papers in the following areas: - Design, implementation and evaluation of mobile systems for computational social science; - Experiment design of social and behavioral experiments using mobile technologies; - Design and implementation of algorithms for mobile system applications; - Architectural issues, including middleware and operating systems support for social applications; - Integration of mobile technologies and cloud computing for social applications; - Energy efficiency issues in designing socially-aware mobile systems; - Mobile social sensing systems; - Implementation of mobile technologies for psychological and health interventions; - Integration of mobile and Web technologies for behavioral intervention; - Deployment and testing of mobile systems for social analysis and applications; - Data collection, anonymization and storage of social and behavioral data collected by means of mobile systems; - Privacy issues related to the design of socially-aware systems. *Submission format* Page length is up to 6 pages (10pt ACM format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not be anonymized. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through EasyChair.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: ACM CHANTS 2013 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) - Deadline extended to June 4 Datum: Sun, 26 May 2013 17:27:20 +0100 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2013 - 8th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2013 September 30-October 4, Miami, Florida, USA www.acm-chants.org/13 ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks also find application in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. This workshop builds on the success of the seven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) • Opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use • Applications for challenged networks (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowd-sourcing, sensor networks) • Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network science methods for challenged networks • Mobile data offloading and content-centric approaches via challenged networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks • Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life • Mobile cloud solutions in challenged networks Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop, including a keynote speaker and a panel. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CoNext short paper deadline ADVANCED to June 14th. Datum: Fri, 24 May 2013 06:34:16 -0400 (EDT) Von: Sanjay G Rao <sanjay(a)ecn.purdue.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu As previously announced, the 9th edition of the ACM CoNext conference includes an explicit call for 6-page short papers, in addition to the normal 12 page full length papers. This email is to announce that the paper submission deadline for the short papers has been ADVANCED to June 14th, to coincide with the full paper submission deadline. The CoNext Organization Committee sincerely regrets any inconvenience this may cause to authors. However, this was necessitated by the need to avoid conflicts in submission dates with HotNets, an ACM Sigcomm sponsored workshop. Regardless of these teething problems, the Organization Committee believes the short paper track will greatly add to the vibrancy of ACM CoNext as it seeks to serve the needs of the research community.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks also find application in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. This workshop builds on the success of the seven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) • Opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use • Applications for challenged networks (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowd-sourcing, sensor networks) • Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network science methods for challenged networks • Mobile data offloading and content-centric approaches via challenged networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks • Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life • Mobile cloud solutions in challenged networks Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.

[Extended deadline - Deadline Approaching]: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 23 May '13

23 May '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of Resilience of Smart Cities, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Extended deadline for submission of papers: June 15, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I Stakeholders Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges, e.g. mobility and smart grids Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Stakeholders include Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Papers submitted for topic categories 1 and 2 that do not fit the focus of the category, may be reassigned by the Scientific Committee to topic categories 3 or 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP and Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under topic category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defence of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers. Papers should be in English and no longer than 12 pages, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. As in previous years, it is planned that post-proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the Workshop and present the paper. Paper submission will be done via EasyChair. The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript format) should follow the respective template offered by Springer. The paper must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. However, the submission should be anonymised and all author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references should be eliminated. Extended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for CRITIS 2013, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (Inderscience).

Paper Submission Deadline Approaching: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 22 May '13

22 May '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of Resilience of Smart Cities, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Extended deadline for submission of papers: June 1, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I Stakeholders Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges, e.g. mobility and smart grids Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Stakeholders include Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Papers submitted for topic categories 1 and 2 that do not fit the focus of the category, may be reassigned by the Scientific Committee to topic categories 3 or 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP and Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under topic category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defence of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mitglieder-info] CfP: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'13) at ICNP-2013 Datum: Tue, 21 May 2013 15:57:03 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de <mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'13) ----------------------------------- In conjunction with ICNP'13, 7-11 October, Goettingen, Germany. Internet data traffic continues to grow rapidly. The challenge that operators face, especially in the mobile Internet, is to support more subscribers with higher bandwidth demands and a large variety of services with different requirements. Therefore, operators need to seek for new technologies to efficiently utilize the available network resources, in particular, this concerns resource allocation and flow management. At the same time, network virtualization in data centers and carrier networks enables a more flexible and efficient resource management - but creates new challenges for sharing capacity among tenants and users of those networks, e.g, scaling up network resources transparently based on the congestion level. In wireless networks, capacity sharing is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. This change in network operation and the strong growth and continual changes in the traffic characteristics and usage behavior raises questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. While the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In addition, there is regulation that can impose additional requirements in some markets, such as availability requirements, network neutrality etc. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of transport protocols, system designers of data centers, fixed and mobile access networks, and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider integrated consideration of the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Context-aware resource allocation and cross-layer adaptation * Network protocols to exchange information on the network state * Support low-latency services and Transport layer solutions * Possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Application-layer adaption especially for mobile and interactive services * Network Function Virtualization and SDN to implement capacity sharing * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in IEEE Computer Society format. Please see the workshop webpage for further submission guidelines: http://icnp13.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/csws13/ Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: June 21, 2013 Acceptance notification: August 2, 2013 Camera-ready paper: August 9, 2013 Workshop date: October, 2013 (to be announced) Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany _______________________________________________ Mitglieder-info mailing list Mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de http://mail-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/mitglieder-info
