-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications (Extended Deadline: May 20, 2013) Datum: Thu, 2 May 2013 18:33:46 -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 20, 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 20, 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.

[Apologies for multiple postings] Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2013 ================================================================================ 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) http://wnm2013.csis.mtroyal.ca/ co-located with 38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.ieeelcn.org/ October 21-24, 2013, Sydney, Australia ================================================================================ IMPORTANT DATES * Paper Submission: May 12, 2013 * Notification: June 30, 2013 * Camera Ready: July 30, 2013 * Workshop: October 24, 2013 SCOPE The 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) invites participants actively engaged in all aspects of network measurements. As computer networks are becoming more complex and diverse in terms of architecture, services, and devices, the importance of measurement increases. Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks, especially emerging and fast-growing ones, such as broadband wireless, mobile, home, data centers, WSN and various heterogeneous networks (“Hetnets”). Operators of fast-growing non-traditional networks are facing new challenges as cross-layer interactions of traditional protocols exhibit new behaviors. With emerging cloud, over-the-top and mobile services and applications, performance monitoring, anomaly detection and diagnosis becomes more difficult. In addition, fully understanding the impact of new services and applications on existing traditional networks is needed for planning and provisioning purposes. Inferring user experience from network measurements has been a long-standing challenge, which remains with cloud and mobile services growing. With rapid evolution of networking technologies and architectures, the measurement community can offer invaluable insights and improve understanding where lacking, especially in cases where validation of existing results is needed. TOPICS WNM is seeking original submissions that cover a broad range of topics in monitoring, measurement and analysis across wired and wireless networks: * Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation * Evaluation of Internet and smart-phone applications * Measurement across the network protocol stack * Measurement related to performance, reliability, security and privacy * Data centers, cloud-based services and content distribution networks * Measurement-based monitoring and troubleshooting of large-scale distributed systems, including cloud infrastructures * Monitoring and measurement of home networks * Network and service resiliency and performance during and after disasters and man-made outages natural * Evaluation of emerging paradigms for traditional services (e.g. moving from circuit-switched phone to VoIP) * Design, development and experiences with Big Data platforms and analytics * Assessment of previous measurement works ORGANIZATION Program Chairs Aniket Mahanti, University of Auckland, NZ Emir Halepovic, AT&T Labs - Research, US Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Technical Program Committee Bernhard Ager, ETH Zurich, CH Marco Balduzzi, International Secure Systems Lab, IT Pere Barlet-Ros, Technical University of Catalonia, ES Paulo Carvalho, University of Minho, PT Pedro Casas, Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (FTW), AT Pavel Celeda, Masaryk University, CZ Kenjiro Cho, Internet Initiative Japan Inc., JP Ruben Cuevas Rumin, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, ES Alberto Dainotti, CAIDA, UC San Diego, US Benoit Donnet, Universite de Liege, BE Elias Duarte Jr., Federal University of Parana, BR Maurizio Dusi, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Alessandro Finamore, Politecnico di Torino, IT Kensuke Fukuda, National Institute of Informatics, JP Jose Luis Garcia-Dorado, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, ES Francesco Gringoli, University of Brescia, IT Bamba Gueye, Universite Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SN Mehmet Gunes, University of Nevada - Reno, US Lei Guo, Microsoft, US Xiaojun Hei, Huazhong University of Science andTechnology, CN Oliver Hohlfeld, TU Berlin, DE Tobias Hossfeld, University of Wuerzburg, DE Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology/ Telekom Innovation Laboratories, DE/HK Guillaume Jourjon, NICTA, AU Solange Lima, University of Minho, PT Emmanuel Lochin, University of Toulouse - ISAE, FR Olaf Maennel, Loughborough University, UK David Malone, NUI Maynooth, IE Jukka Manner, Aalto University, FI Olivier Mehani, NICTA, AU Hung Nguyen, University of Adelaide, AU Nick Nikiforakis, KU Leuven, BE Antonio Pescape, University of Napoli Federico II, IT Aiko Pras, University of Twente, NL Gregorio Procissi, University of Pisa, IT Justin Rohrer, Naval Postgraduate School, US Nadi Sarrar, TU Berlin, DE Fabian Schneider, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Joel Sommers, Colgate University, US Kwon Taekyoung, Seoul National University, KR Stefano Traverso, Politecnico di Torino, IT Michele Vadursi, University of Naples "Parthenope", IT Shobha Venkataraman, AT&T Labs - Research, US Alex Vieira, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, BR Matthias Wahlisch, Freie Universitat Berlin, DE Jie Xiang, Simula Research Laboratory, NO Sebastian Zander, Swinburne University of Technology, AU _______________________________________________ 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 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: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] M2MCIP 2013 - deadline this week: IEEE Workshop on Machine to Machine Communications Interfaces and Platforms Datum: Mon, 06 May 2013 14:32:33 +0200 Von: Tom Pfeifer <t.pfeifer(a)computer.org> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com Call for Papers =============== Paper submission: May 12, 2013 1st IEEE International Workshop on Machine to Machine Communications Interfaces and Platforms M2MCIP 2013 http://www.M2MCIP.org Part of IEEE LCN 2013, Sydney, Australia, October 24 will be held as a full-day workshop on October 24, 2013, as part of the 38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (IEEE LCN) in Sydney, Australia. Scope ===== Smarter and greener environments are essential to address economic, social, and environmental challenges due to the increase in urbanization, requiring informed decisions based on Internet of Things (IoT) generated data. Rapidly, more and more devices are being added to the networks. Estimations show that by the end of 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices to the IoT world-wide. Almost any kind of these devices will be allowed to seamlessly integrate into a large-scale Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication environment. In contrast to human-to-human and human-to-machine communication (which mainly involves multimedia sessions, web browsing, and remote control), M2M provides the opportunity of deploying completely new services. In M2M, smart devices are connected through the networks to novel service platforms in a self-controlled system; however, the current communication networks still being designed to support human-to-human communication, focus on the optimization of the communication between devices under direct human control. Recognizing the need for reliable network infrastructures, various standards developing organizations have recently promoted several standardization activities in the M2M domain, which need continuous research input. Open M2M platforms are being developed to implement middleware aiming to provide services for heterogeneous requirements, thus avoiding vendor-locking stove-pipe solutions, acting as a horizontal convergence layer supporting multiple vertical application domains such as transport and logistics, utilities, automotive, eHealth, etc. which may be deployed independently or as part of a common platform. M2MCIP provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to address and discuss challenges and proposed solutions to the open and upcoming issues in M2M, as state-of-the-art solutions and work in progress. Topics of Interest ================== M2M Modelling and Design M2M Platforms and Frameworks M2M aspects of Smart Energy, Utility Providers, Smart Homes, Smart Anything M2M Privacy and Security, Identification and Authentication M2M Gateways M2M Application Interfaces M2M Medium Access Protocols M2M Performance and Scalability aspects M2M Reliability and Affordability M2M Standardisation progress M2M Mobility aspects Autonomic communication methods for end-to-end M2M communication M2M Emerging technologies Context-awareness aspects of M2M communication Integration of Delay-Tolerant Networks into M2M platforms M2M Crowd Sensing integration and opportunistic information transmission Communication aspects of services in the Internet of Things Industrial requirements for M2M and upcoming business cases Experimental Testbeds for M2M communication and integration, deployment and federation Paper Submission ================ Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (deadline extension)
by Valeria Loscri 01 May '13

01 May '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: extended to May 12, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.

Over recent years, researchers from both industry and academia were focusing their efforts on exploiting the advances in sensing and communication technologies to improve the efficiency of the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMS) and mitigate the above issues. However, these efforts are still insufficient to build a reliable and secure TMS that can handle the foreseeable rise of population and cars in future smart cities. This special session seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications, and discuss the key unresolved challenges in the topics of this special session. Papers are invited to be submitted in the following areas: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion, processing and integration techniques for TMS * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * WSNs, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to TMS in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in smart cities * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles ------------------ Dr. Soufiene Djahel Research Fellow Performance Engineering Lab University College Dublin http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/index.html

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanis! ms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (2 days left)
by Valeria Loscri 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: May 1, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.

Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal: Special Issue on QoE (deadline April 30)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

-------------------------------------------------------------- Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal Special Issue on QoE in 2D/3D Video Systems -------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of purpose of this special issue It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new multi-modal media necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived multimedia quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality of Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging multimedia services (e.g. immersive multimedia, multimodal applications) over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g. IPTV/HDTV/UHD/3DTV, video call, 3D smartphone, etc). However, controlling the QoE of these applications is difficult not only because of their high data rate. The combination of multiple media in a single application (multimodality) and the need to keep multiple media in synch across multiple parties means that the problem of capturing and controlling QoE becomes multi-dimensional and cannot be addressed through existing methods. Open questions that will be addressed include for instance: - How can we equalize the QoE perceived by different users in multimodal, immersive and multiparty applications? - How will it be possible to engineer a closed-loop, QoE management framework where the QoS-to-QoE mapping models are sufficiently accurate and stable? - How should data, media, network, control and application planes be orchestrated to maximize QoE / minimize resource consumption? - How can 2D (SVC, HEVC etc) and 3D Coding (MVC, MPEG Part C, etc) affect QoE? With reference to 2D/3D video, research topics of interest include but are not limited to: - QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, online versus offline) - QoE Modeling and QoE-QoS Mapping - KPI and KQI for the QoE definition - QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies - Subjective evaluation methodology for 3D/multiview/free-view video, graphics, and augmented and mixed reality - QoE Methodologies for 3D - QoE for novel applications (immersive media, multimodal applications etc) - Standardization activities for QoE - New databases and validation (especially for 3D signals) Schedule: Manuscript submission: April 30, 2013 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2013 Publication: November 2013 Guest Editors Prof. Tasos Dagiuklas, Hellenic Open University, Greece Email: dagiuklas(a)eap.gr Prof. Luigi Atzori University of Cagliari, Italy Email: l.atzori(a)diee.unica.it Dr. Periklis Chatzimisios Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Email: pchatzimisios(a)ieee.org Prof. Chang Wen Chen University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA Email: chencw(a)buffalo.edu Prof Lin Weisi Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Email: WSLIN(a)ntu.edu.sg

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers, The 13th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) Datum: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:04:13 -0400 Von: Jelena Misic <jmisic(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> WLNs Phase Shift in Next Generation Networks Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) play a key role in a plethora of domains. >From smart phones to smart cities, applications spanning our engaging planet boost the impact of IT on our daily lives. WLNs present many unique and dynamic challenges, yet their utilization is on a rapid rise. As a technology, the combination of relatively low costs and ease of deploy-ment has led many communities to rely on local wireless infrastructures. Those encompass-ing the Internet of Things (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks, Clouds of Sensing (CoS), and Software Defined Networks (SDNs), which form a significant evolution towards Next Generation Networks (NGNs) in its global scope. However, the rapid pace of their deployment and utilization have rarely adequately addressed up front caveats; includ-ing planning and ongoing support requirements. This can manifest in degraded levels of service and significant sustainability exposures, dramatically increasing failure rates of user adoption and seamless usage. In its 13th year, the WLN workshop will focus on how such wireless networks can be resilient, while maintaining the promised high levels of service quality in NGNs. We consider design and implementation dimensions in WLNs that will ena-ble change phase towards NGNs and demonstrate added utility in providing sustainable global communication networks. WLN this year will feature multiple special sessions with the following list of non-exclusive topics of interest: 1 . RFID networks in the IoT.  Planning of RFID networks.  RFID scalable anti-collision protocols.  Localization of RFID-tagged objects.  2. Software Defined Networks (SDN) in Dynamically Changing Environments.  Integration and coexistence issues towards NGNs.  New paradigms like Information Centric Networks (ICN) and their relation with SDN.  Practical experiments on SDN based testbeds. 3. QoS constrained Clouds of sensors over WLNs: Do they scale?  Wireless multihop networks, including mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks.  Locally distributed sensor networks towards a global CoS.  Protocol design, including cross-layer and opportunistic approaches. 4. Resource management in M2M communications.  Resource management functionalities (CAC, reservation, scheduling, etc.)  Cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum assignments.  Performance evaluation, including analytical and simulation approaches. Important Dates Paper Submission May 12th, 2013 Notification of acceptance June 30th, 2013 Camera-ready copy due July 30th, 2013 Submission Guidelines We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published or currently under review. Authors can submit in any of the aforementioned special sessions a full paper (up to 8 pages) that describes complete works in a self-contained manner with the intent to give an oral presentation.

Fwd: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Mirco Musolesi <m.musolesi(a)cs.bham.ac.uk> Gesendet: Wed Apr 24 21:46:37 MESZ 2013 An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Colocated 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 will invite to submit papers in the following areas: - Design, implementation and evaluation of mobile systems for computational social science; - Experiment design of social and behavioural 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, anonomyzation 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.

Following this trend, challenging issues to satisfy the growing number of wireless users can be foreseen. Doubtlessly, thorough experimental analyses are of paramount importance to accurately identify the limitations of current technologies and to motivate innovative ideas to solve them. Moreover, realistic empirical evaluations of such a diverse set of solutions, and their mutual interactions, will play a major role to demonstrate their efficiency in everyday denser networks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. Due to these, sharing experiences, methodologies and experimental results are gaining wider recognition in the mobile and wireless research community. ============ CALL FOR PAPERS ============ WiNTECH aims at bringing together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas and experiences gathered across all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area.

With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities. This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · app and app store security and privacy; · benchmarking and evaluation of mobile security solutions; · bots on mobile devices; · cloud security and privacy, as related to mobile devices; · mobile device forensics; · security and privacy in mobile device operating systems and middleware; · mobile malware collection, statistics, and analysis; · mobile services and social networking security; · reverse engineering and automated analysis of mobile malware; · security for smart payment applications, including near-field communication; · standardization efforts related to developing and vetting mobile apps; · testbeds and case studies for mobile platforms; · traffic monitoring and detection algorithms for mobile platforms; · virtualization solutions for mobile security; and · Web browser security on mobile devices. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. The guest editors for this special issue include Ying-Dar Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan (lead: ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw); Chun-Ying Huang, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan; Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington; and Georgios Kambourakis, University of the Aegean, Samos, Greece.
