-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Christian Bunse <Christian.Bunse(a)fh-stralsund.de> Gesendet: Wed Mar 13 13:58:06 MEZ 2013 An: eased(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: [EASED] EASED@BUIS Workshop Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die GI-Jahrestagung 2012 liegt hinter uns und wir blicken auf einen durchweg erfolgreichen ersten EEbS-Workshop zurück. Vielen Dank auf diesem Wege noch einmal allen, die diesen Workshop bereichert bzw. ermöglicht haben. Ich möchte euch auf diesem Wege an den zweiten Workshop im Rahmen der BUIS Tage erinnern und zur Einreichung von Kurzpapieren (Seiten) aufrufen. Viele Grüße Christian Bunse CFP: Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development (EASED@BUIS) **************************************************************************** *************** Call For Papers 2nd Workshop Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development (EASED@BUIS) ( <http://se.uni-oldenburg.de/eased2013> http://se.uni-oldenburg.de/eased2013) collocated with BUIS-Days: IT-based resource and energy management ( <http://enviroinfo.eu/de/5-buis-tage> http://enviroinfo.eu/de/5-buis-tage) April 25, 2013 Oldenburg (Oldb.), Kulturzentrum PFL, Peterstraße 3, Germany **************************************************************************** *************** Utilization of mobile and embedded devices, and thus their induced energy consumption, is constantly increasing. Reducing the energy consumption of such devices will not only improve the carbon footprint of contemporary mobile IT usage, but will also extend the device lifetime, improve user acceptance and reduce operational costs. Next to to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design and on operating system level, software engineering techniques will also contribute to optimize energy consumption by improving software design and software quality. The EASED@BIUS workshop, which follows up the Workshop on Developing Energy Aware Software Systems (EEbS 2012) ( <http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/medien/mobile-media/eebs-2012.html> http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/medien/mobile-media/eebs-2012.html), held at the annual GI Conference in September 2012, provides a broad forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss ongoing work, latest results and common topics of interest regarding the improvement of software induced energy consumption. Intensive discussions at the first workshop identified a major challenge in optimizing energy efficiency, which is to precisely measure energy consumption of software, regarding user behavior. Thus, the follow workshop EASED@BUIS will focus on the following topics: - approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the energy consumption of software components, - approaches to define standardized application scenarios on mobile devices to provide repeatable measurement of energy consumption in concrete application settings, - approaches to model the energy consumption of software components, and - experiences on measuring and improving the energy consumption of software components. Well elaborated and standardized measurement means will provide an important foundation to detecting sources of wasting energy caused by software systems and will enable validation means to verify energy savings by software improvements. EASED@BUIS will be organized as a one day discussion-intensive workshop to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants. It is intended to initiate collaborative works on standardizing (static and dynamic) measuring techniques for energy consumption. To further stimulate these discussions, authors are invited to submit position papers on the workshop´s topics. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in Softwaretechnik-Trends ( <http://pi.informatik.uni-siegen.de/stt/> http://pi.informatik.uni-siegen.de/stt/).

Fwd: [Tccc] [CFP] International Workshop on Device-to-Device Communications and Networks
by Lars Wolf 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] International Workshop on Device-to-Device Communications and Networks Datum: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:37:12 +0800 Von: Lingyang Song <lingyang.song(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================ First International Workshop on Device-to-Device Communications and Networks (D2D2013) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC), 12-14, Aug. 2013, Xi’an, China ============================================================================ **Aim of the Workshop** As more and more new mobile multimedia rich services are becoming available to larger audiences there is an ever increasing demand for higher data rate wireless access. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, which enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. However, many research challenges still exist, such as 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 future D2D networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. The aim of the workshop is to bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, and consulting firms) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future device-to-device communication and networks. In this workshop, the advances of wireless communications that enable device-to-device communications arising from the adoption of new technologies will be discussed. D2D2013 seeks papers dealing with architectural issues, theoretical studies, new paradigms, enabling technologies, practical implementations, and policy issues for device-to-device communication and networking problems. Besides the technical insights, the workshop will provide a supportive environment for technical discussions between like-minded researchers and engineers. **Topics of interests** Topics of interest relating to device-to-device communications for future wireless networks are (but not limited to): --Mobile-to-mobile channel modeling --Device discovery and association --Link management and mode selection --Power control and interference management --MIMO techniques --Cooperative D2D communications --Radio resource management (RRM) --Dynamic frequency allocation and spectrum sharing techniques --Self-optimization and self-healing --Mobility measurements, modeling and management --Multi-hop D2D communications --Heterogeneous wireless networks --Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios --Game theory and incentive mechanisms --Security issues --Green communications --Capacity off-loading and emergency communications --New services and applications **Submission Guidelines** D2D2013 accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of device-to-device communications and networks. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). The proceedings of the workshops program will be published as the ICCC2013 main conference, and will be also included by IEEE Digital Library and indexed by EI. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work, and one full registration can cover up to 3 papers. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website: http://www.ieee-iccc.org/submguide.html. **Important Dates** Paper submission: May 27, 2013 Notification: June 30, 2013 Final Paper : July 15, 2013 **Workshop General Chair** Prof. Xueming (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo, Canada **Workshop TPC Chair** Prof. Lingyang Song, Peking University, China **Workshop Industry Chair** Dr. Shaohui Sun, Datang Mobile, China **Contact Information** Dr. Lingyang Song School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, China.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (deadline May 1th)
by Valeria Loscri 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '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.

Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2013 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Tenth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2013) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security and privacy issues and protection mechanisms - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) - Automated driving and communication Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE WNM 2013 Datum: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:57:58 +1300 Von: Qiang Fu <Qiang.Fu(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [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 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 Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA IMPORTANT DATES * Paper Submission: May 12, 2013 * Notification: June 30, 2013 * Camera Ready: July 30, 2013 * Workshop: October 24, 2013 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In recent years, ad-hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applications like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. Similarly, advances in micro-electro- mechanical devices and large-scale integration have enabled the realization of miniaturized sensor nodes that can probe their surroundings and transmit their measurements using on-board wireless transceivers. Large-scale networks of miniaturized sensor nodes may also enable new applications such as target tracking, security surveillance, elder care, and forest monitoring. Both ad hoc and sensor networks are characterized by their dynamic nature, which requires them to be adaptive to changes in the application environment, task objectives, and topological changes, among others. The last few years have witnessed the development of many innovative solutions for ad-hoc and sensor networks that are maturing to the level of commercialization and standardization. Yet, numerous challenges remain for the implementation of practical solutions that operate robustly, securely, and efficiently. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium of GLOBECOM'2013 opts to foster a forum for sharing ideas and recent results among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions related to ad-hoc and sensor networks. We are soliciting papers that describe original and unpublished contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New and unconventional applications of ad hoc and sensor networks * Novel architectures and operation models * Wireless sensor and actor networks * Wireless multimedia and 3-D sensor networks * Underwater and underground sensor networks * Body Area Sensor Networks * Cognitive radio networks in multi-hop environments * Wireless mesh and community networks * Wireless PANs and LANs * Pervasive and wearable computing * RFID systems * Delay-tolerant ad hoc networks * Self-organization and autonomic networking * Vehicular networks * Co-existence issues of hybrid networks * Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices * Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * New standards for ad hoc and sensor networks * Energy saving and power control protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks * Energy scavenging technologies * Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks * Location and context aware services * Scheduling and resource management algorithms * Deployment and coverage analysis of sensor networks * Localization algorithms and ranging technologies * Routing and multicasting protocols * Topology control and management * In-network processing and data storage * Fault-tolerance and traffic reliability issues * Cross-layer design and optimization * Mobility management and modeling * Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks * Security for ad hoc and sensor networks * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation * Experimental prototypes and testbeds * New simulation languages, programming abstractions, and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline of 15 March 2013 for publication in the IEEE Globecom 2013 Conference Proceedings and for presentation at the conference.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library after the conference and included in DCOSS 2013 proceedings. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (SCIE).

Elsevier PMC: SI Socially-inspired Mechanisms for Future Mobility Services
by Andreas Riener 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

1st Call for Papers SPECIAL ISSUE OF PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING The Social Car: Socially-inspired Mechanisms for Future Mobility Services Submissions due: July 31, 2013 ************************************************************************* In the long tradition of driver-vehicle interaction, information systems have been socially ignorant ? they have not accounted for the fact that drivers? (humans?) emote all the time and decisions are always socially inspired. The next-generation automotive interfaces need to include the essence of social intelligence to become more effective and safer. Researchers have recently started to think about the topic of socially inspired cars and, in our comprehension, a broader discussion on the benefits and consequences of socializing cars is very likely to start in the near time. The central objective of this special issue is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars and the topic addressed by this special issue raises elementary questions including who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation. Potential topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to: * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, including traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Implementation of agents/robots for improving socially-inspired communication * The subject of social-inspired vehicle-to-vehicle communications * Network issues and protocols for social cars * Crowdsourcing concepts to improve transport (driving as a "collabo- ration" of different entities) * Authentication, privacy, safety, or security issues related to social car services * Relevant parameters to describe social status or behaviors of a driver or car and plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Potentials of socially inspired car-car communication and benefit assessment (why should cars or drivers disclose their social status or social relationships?) * Social norm in the automotive domain * Cultural differences evident in-vehicle social services * Polarization issues between supporters and opponents * Novel applications and services enabled by social cars * Case studies * Visionary perspectives Submission Guidelines --------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the "Guide for Authors" as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. - Submissions due: July 31, 2013 - Publication expected for 2014 Guest Editors of the Special Issue ---------------------------------- - Andreas Riener, Dept. of Pervasive Computing, University of Linz, Austria; Phone: +43 732 2468 ? 4473; Email: <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> - Myounghoon Jeon, Department of Cognitive & Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech, USA; Email: <mjeon(a)mtu.edu> - Ignacio Alvarez, IT Manager for Connected Drive & Innovations, BMW Group, Beijing, China; Email: <ignacioalvmar(a)gmail.com> - Franco Zambonelli, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy; Email: <franco.zambonelli(a)unimore.it> For detailed information visit: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/PMCSocialCar/ or http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/15741192
