** 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.

-------- 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

Fwd: [Authors] [authors] CFP || CoNEXT 2013 Hot Middlebox Workshop || Deadline August 30th

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Felipe Huici <Felipe.Huici(a)neclab.eu> Gesendet: Tue May 14 09:55:42 MESZ 2013 An: "'authors(a)inf.ufsc.br'" <authors(a)inf.ufsc.br> Betreff: [Authors] [authors] CFP || CoNEXT 2013 Hot Middlebox Workshop || Deadline August 30th HotMiddlebox : Hot Topics in Middleboxes and Network Function Virtualization Introduction ==================================================== Modern networks increasingly rely on advanced network processing functions for a wide spectrum of crucial functions ranging from security (firewalls, IDSes, traffic scrubbers), traffic shaping (rate limiters, load balancers), dealing with address space exhaustion (NATs) or improving the performance of network applications (traffic accelerators, caches, proxies), to name a few. Such "network appliances" or "middleboxes" are a critical piece of the network infrastructure and represent, to a first-order approximation, the de-facto approach for network evolution in response to changing performance, security, and policy compliance requirements. However, most of this functionality is implemented in costly, hard-to-modify dedicated hardware, making the network difficult to evolve or adapt to changing traffic requirements. Recent work seeks to address this issue by shifting network processing from a world of dedicated hardware to one built on software-based processing running on (sometimes virtualized and shared) platforms built on commodity hardware servers, switches, and storage. This vision of "software-based" network services enables new in-network functions to be rapidly instantiated, on-demand, and at places in the network where it is most needed, without having to modify the underlying hardware. The scope of this workshop focuses both on the design of the data plane to support advanced services as well as the control plane functions necessary to manage these advanced data plane functions. In some sense, this vision is complementary to ongoing efforts in the SDN community, where the focus has largely been on the control plane and assuming a commodity data plane. While our workshop builds on the recent promise of realizing high-performance network processing on commodity hardware, many questions remain open: 1. What are the best virtualization technologies for implementing high-performance network functions? 2. What are the challenges when trying to push them to rates of 10Gb and beyond? 3. How do we provide the best possible isolation, both in terms of software isolation but also performance? 4. How do we ensure that middlebox modules from different entities running on the same platform are assigned to the available hardware in an optimal way? 5. How can we provide quick instantiation of processing (in the order of milliseconds or less)? 6. What control plane abstractions are necessary to manage such advanced and stateful services? The HotMiddlebox workshop will serve as an avenue to showcase and discuss ongoing work from both academic and industry efforts in this space and to identify key challenges and potential solutions, with the ultimate goal of providing a roadmap for practical deployment in operational networks. Scope of the workshop ==================================================== We encourage the submission of work-in-progress papers in the area of middlebox design, implementation, measurement, management, and deployment. We look for submissions of previously unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Performance optimizations of network stacks on virtualized systems 2. Verification of unknown code running on shared middlebox platforms 3. Extensible software stacks for rapid implementation of new middlebox functions 4. Mechanisms for migration of stateful middleboxes 5. Resource allocation mechanisms for shared/virtualized middlebox platforms 6. Integrating new software middleboxes into legacy networks 7. Backend storage/memory architectures for middleboxes 8. Management abstractions and policy language frameworks for middleboxes 9. Experiences in deploying software-based middleboxes in operational networks 10. Connections to Software-Defined Networking 11. Deployment and use of middleboxes in the cloud 12. Measurements of middleboxes in enterprise, ISP, and data center networks. 13. Novel security, performance, and monitoring applications atop middleboxes 14. Challenges for policy verification in the context of middlebox services. Submission Guidelines ==================================================== Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission site [to be announced]. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Publication at Hot Middlebox is not intended to preclude later publication of an extended version of the paper. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop Important Dates ==================================================== Submission: Fri August 30th, 5pm ET Notification: September 30th Camera ready: October 24th Workshop date: December 9, 2013 Co-Chairs ==================================================== Felipe Huici, NEC Europe Vyas Sekar, Stony Brook University Technical Program Committee: ==================================================== Aditya Akella, UWisconsin Katerina Argyraki, EPFL Jon Crowcroft, Cambridge Lars Eggert, NetApp Norbert Egi, Huawei Mark Handley, University College London Giuseppe Lettieri, University of Pisa Diego Lopez, Telefonica Anil Madhavapeddy, Cambridge KyoungSoo Park, KAIST Peter Pietzuch, Imperial Sylvia Ratnasamy, Berkeley Jennifer Rexford, Princeton Luigi Rizzo, University of Pisa Anees Shaikh, IBM Robin Sommer, ICSI Nick Feamster, GTech Julian Chesterfield, OnApp/XenSource Teemu Koponen, Nicira / VMware Christian Macciocco, Intel Labs ============================================================ Dr. Felipe Huici Senior Researcher, Networked Systems and Data Analytics Group NEC Laboratories Europe, Network Research Division Kurfuerstenanlage 36, D-69115 Heidelberg Tel. +49 (0)6221 4342-241 Fax: +49 (0)6221 4342-155 e-mail: felipe.huici(a)neclab.eu ============================================================ NEC Europe Limited Registered Office: NEC House, 1 Victoria Road, London W3 6BL Registered in England 2832014 _______________________________________________ Authors mailing list Authors(a)inf.ufsc.br http://listas.inf.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/authors

Fwd: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013)
by Lars Wolf 15 May '13

15 May '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013) Datum: Tue, 14 May 2013 11:57:45 +0200 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <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 Internet survey 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. Supporting effectively different service classes, with authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) for different traffic/service types 8. Security and privacy concerns 9. New applications and services utilising low cost models 10. Socio-economic models for adoption and deployment 11.

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.

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 Cambridge, 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 ***************************************************************************** -- Document sans titre -

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI) Special Issue on "Emerging Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for Ubiquitous Healthcare" Datum: Wed, 8 May 2013 21:29:18 -0400 Von: Honggang Wang <hwang1(a)umassd.edu> Antwort an: hwang1(a)umassd.edu An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI) Special Issue on "Emerging Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for Ubiquitous Healthcare" Health monitoring of patients' vital signs over wireless body area networks (WBANs) provides an economical solution to rising costs in the healthcare system with real-time updates of medical records. The WBAN consisting of a set of mobile and small intercommunicating sensors is expected to significantly impact future healthcare services. On the other hand, many other techniques such as smartphones, cloud services and social networks have been widely deployed for many mobile applications and are offering a great opportunity to extend the functionalities of WBANs. The integration of WBANs with these promising techniques for ubiquitous healthcare applications will lead to interpretation of the broad concepts of telemedicine and m-health. There are significant research challenges involving the development of protocols, platform, applications of WBANs, especially when wireless body sensors are either wearable or implanted into the human body and thus their resources and capacities are extremely limited. Many existing sensor network solutions are not applicable to WBANs. There are numerous research issues in WBANs related to interoperability, communication interference, security, mobility, energy, deployment, and costs, etc. In addition, there is a promising research trend for the integration of cloud computing with WBANs to provide ubiquitous and mobile healthcare services. Further, traditional solutions in WBANs have to be evolved with the emergence of new hardware and techniques such as smartphones and energy harvesting. For example, adopting energy harvesting techniques has led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and miniaturized sensors that are suited for m-health applications. New emphasis on the applications such as smart health and wellbeing will significantly speed up the wide deployment of WBANs and broaden their impact. It is a challenging task to develop more innovative health applications such as elder care, sports, military, or security. Extending the WBANs technology to new application domains can be supported by seamless and secure data communications between users, or between users and base stations with required quality of service (QoS). Therefore, it is critical to understand and develop WBANs from the perspective of applications, protocol and system. The specific focus of this special issue will be on the ubiquitous healthcare service impact and implications of emerging WBANs technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security and privacy * Network protocols and standardization for WBANs * The integration of cloud computing with WBANs * Data storage, distribution, and cloud services for WBANs * Inter-WBANs communication interference mitigation * Nano communication and nanotechnologies for WBANs * Wearable computing * Embedded medical sensor devices * Cognitive radio techniques for WBANs * Trends, future applications for WBANs * Regulatory challenges and commercialization of WBANs * Biometrics using WBANs and their applications * Resource allocation and cross-layer design * Hardware and testbed platforms for WBANs * Social networks for WBANs * Energy harvesting for low-power WBANs * Modeling, simulations, and performance evaluations * QoS of WBANs * Innovative smart health and wellbeing applications GUEST EDITORS Honggang Wang Univ.

Such combined sensing opens up the possibilities for exciting new applications in a variety of urban spaces, both outdoors (e.g., crowd coordination in theme parks, public safety monitoring in major public events, public health management) and indoors (e.g., healthcare, intelligent retail in shopping malls & energy-efficient building operations). Driven by these trends, this workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working on urban and crowd-driven sensing. We invite original research work focusing on large or innovative crowdsensing architectures, systems and platforms and their experiences on developing crowdsensing applications impacting urban lifestyles in a variety of areas. The workshop especially solicits early/upcoming research ideas, where interactions may provide authors with valuable early feedback. The topics of interests broadly include, but are not limited to: Data sourcing and aggregation: o Innovative use of the sensors to capture real world phenomenon o Energy efficient sensing o Utility oriented sensing o Data modeling and aggregation o Incentive models o Privacy concerns System or Platform Architecture o Data processing and analysis o Contextual/Semantic interpretation of sensor data o Security models o Real-time stream computing and cloud-based platforms o Crowdsensing middleware platforms Applications o Innovative applications impacting urban lives o User interface for crowdsensing applications o Case studies around applying crowdsensing to a particular domain, such as retail, healthcare (mHealth), transportation, governance, etc. o Tools, technologies and programming abstractions for developing crowdsensing applications o Cross leveraging social networks for effective crowdsensing Submission Guidelines ·Authors are invited to submit Full Technical Papers with maximum 12 pages.
