-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: ACM CHANTS 2013 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:05:17 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: fehmi.ben-abdesslem(a)cl.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. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MobileHealth 2013 - Deadline Extended to April 08, 2013 Datum: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:10:13 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] MobileHealth 2013 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2013/ Third ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2013 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2013/ 29 July - 1 August, 2013. Bangalore, India ------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- After the two first successful editions of MobileHealth, MobileHealth'2011 in Paris (France) and MobileHealth'2012 in Hilton Head Island (USA), the third edition of the workshop will be held in Bangalore - India on July 29th, 2013 in conjunction with the 14th edition of ACM MobiHoc symposium (MobiHoc 2013). Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. MobileHealth'2013 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Mobile devices for healthcare - Wearable and Implantable Wireless sensors for healthcare - Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps - Protocols for wireless healthcare - Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps - Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Energy Efficiency in Wireless health monitoring - Pervasive Health Systems and Services - Authentication and Sensors' monitoring - Confidentiality and Data Security - Mobile Interfaces for Data Visualization - Realizations and Platforms - Standards for mobile healthcare Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted regular papers must be up to 6 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X 11 inches) and short papers up to 4 pages including text, figures and references.

CFP: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '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 cyber resilience of smart cities and smart mobility, 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications Datum: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:24:03 -0700 (PDT) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf) Submission Deadline: May 1, 2013 Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication. Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and challenges. A issue is how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison. The special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that include, but are not limited to, the following. •Power and interference management •Proximity-based detection and offloading •Self-organizing device discovery •Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication •Device vs operator controlled link establishment •Link management and mode selection •Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation •Group communication and broadcasting •Multi-hop D2D communications •Quality improvement for real-time applications •Channel measurements and modelling •Mobility measurements, modelling and management •New services and applications Submission Guideline Authors should refer to the submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html) to prepare their papers. Papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://www.edas.info) according to the following schedule: •Manuscript submission: May 1, 2013 •Notification: October 1, 2013 •First revision due:November 1, 2013 •Final notification:December 1, 2013 •Final manuscript due: January 1, 2014 •Publication date: 2nd Quarter, 2014 Guest Editors •Dr. Chonggang Wang, InterDigital Communications, USA (cgwang(a)ieee.org) •Professor Jiangzhou Wang, University of Kent, UK (j.z.wang(a)kent.ac.uk) •Dr. George Chrisikos, Qualcomm Inc., USA (gchrisikos(a)ieee.org) •Dr. Yoshihisa Kishiyama, NTT DOCOMO, INC., Japan (kishiyama(a)nttdocomo.com) •Professor Roger Cheng, Hong Kong Univ. of Sci. and Tech., Hong Kong (eecheng(a)ust.hk) •Professor Zhisheng Niu, Tsinghua University, China (niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn) •Professor Kun Yang, University of Essex, UK (kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer ExtremeCom 2013 – The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand the challenges involved in networking in this region. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: ·Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems ·Real deployments of networks in extreme environments ·Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments ·User experience research ·Delay tolerant networking ·Mesh networks and sensor networks ·Low-power and intermittent-power protocols ·Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications ·Distributed computing for mobile environments ·Networked applications and services ·Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking ·Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications ·Mining and modeling of mobility and social network Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Local arrangement committee: Ólafur Helgason, Iceland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Ken Banks, Kiwanja.net, South Africa Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Gary Chan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Marcelo Dias de Amorim, CNRS, France Michael Doering, Bosch Research, Germany Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon/INRIA, France Roy Friedman, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Bo Han, AT&T Research, USA Luigi Iannone, Telecom ParisTech, France Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden HengChang Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA James Kwok, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Yong Li, Tsinghua University, China Alessandro Mei, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Jörg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (4 days left)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. _Program committee members_: Yacine Challal, Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France Flavio Esposito, Boston University - USA Essia Hamouda, University of Riverside, California, USA Antonio Iera, Università "Mediterranea" di reggio Calabria, Italy Abdelmajid Khwlil, Huawei European Center, Germany Srdjan Krco, Ericsson/University of Belgrade Thomas D.C.

Fwd: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013)
by Lars Wolf 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013) Datum: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:27:44 +0100 Von: LOCHIN Emmanuel <Emmanuel.LOCHIN(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: LOCHIN Emmanuel <Emmanuel.LOCHIN(a)ISAE.FR> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG The 1st ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013) will be held jointly with ACM MobiCom on September 30, 2013, in Miami, Florida. It is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia and industry. Internet has crossed new frontiers with access getting faster and cheaper. New applications and services are being offered – and their impact omnipresent. The Internet Society’s recent global Internetsurvey reveals that the Internet should be considered as a basic human birthright. On one end, we have the developed world where access is getting faster and services being developed to utilize faster access. On the other end, there are people who do not have access to the Internet at all. Some may not be able to get it due to lack of infrastructure support (which accounts to the notion of digital divide problem faced by most people in developed countries). There have been signiﬁcant initiatives to solve the problem of affordable infrastructure. Crucially, most of these approaches address infrastructural barriers without addressing economic ones. Leaving connectivity for all to be governed by market economics is a major impediment to achieving the full benefits of the Internet, and that basic Internet access should be made freely available to all due to its societal benefits. The current Internet access model which is governed by market economics makes it practically infeasible for enabling universal access especially for those with socio-economic barriers. The value chains do not reflect the technical development – as made obvious by recent debates between operators and content providers. There are both research and policy challenges to the realization of a future Internet capability that will offer appropriate access to all parts of society. The current Internet architecture is progressively reaching a saturation point in meeting increasing user's expectations and behaviors as well as progressively showing inability to efficiently respond to new technological challenges (in terms of security, scalability, mobility, availability, and manageability) but also socio-economical challenges. This widening range of requirements imposed on the Internet architecture leads to a growing collection of solutions, which each in their own right address a set of requirement while driving forward the fragmentation that ultimately stands in the way of achieving the digital inclusion vision. In contrast to the way the current Internet has evolved, the development of the next generation network will demand both collaboration and a shared vision between researchers, corporations, community groupings and governments. There can be no single uniform solution that embraces all types of user and all locations. We need an infrastructure that combines different transmission technologies, while at the same time support an increasingly diverse range of Internet applications. The research community should also encourage, identify and architect new modes of access that could increase the efficiency of the usage of existing communication resources, enhance cooperation among operators, cooperation among end users, improving access/accounting on a per service basis rather than on a per volume basis, enable “sponsoring” of access to communication as such as well as to selected services.   This workshop will address the problem of digital exclusion due to both geographical and socio-economic disparity. We would like also to pay attention to specific types of exclusion – like temporal exclusion caused by catastrophes (in terms of an earthquake or tsunami) and malicious activities. In such situations, the poorest communities suffer the most. Technologies that require an infrastructure setup may sometimes be not feasible due to cost, accessibility or availability. Hence the use of alternate technologies that enable cooperative networking – e.g. multi-hop ad-hoc set-ups, or delay tolerant communication based approaches might save lives, and mitigate suffering of numerous victims. ACM LCDNet 2013 will address a range of research questions (feasibility, scalability, security, new privacy challenges, robustness, resource allocation, sustainability, performance etc.). We solicit contributions on state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We strongly encourage out-of-the box thinking and the workshop will have a dedicated session focusing on blue-skies research within the context of the workshop. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Innovations in wireless and satellite technologies that enable efficient low cost spectrum use 2. Characterising broadband performance 3. Advancements in Information-centric networking, delay-tolerant networking, cloud onloading/offloading to improve access and reduce average transmission cost per service access 4. Effectively utilising unused capacity using state of art network virtualization techniques to realize low-cost access 5. Multi-layer resource pooling 6. Social networking based communications during disasters 7.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:50:42 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html* <http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/%7Ehammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.…>** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (extended deadline March 25th)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. _Program committee members_: Yacine Challal, Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France Flavio Esposito, Boston University - USA Essia Hamouda, University of Riverside, California, USA Antonio Iera, Università "Mediterranea" di reggio Calabria, Italy Abdelmajid Khwlil, Huawei European Center, Germany Srdjan Krco, Ericsson/University of Belgrade Thomas D.C.

Included are also 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, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world WSN 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 21, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be August 15 2013, notification August 22 2013.
