-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:25:48 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd CfP: Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (CoSDEO@Ubicomp); DL: 01.05.2013 Datum: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:43:43 +0200 Von: announce(a)teco.edu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS for the Fourth CoSDEO Workshop Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/) in conjunction with 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/) in Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-12, 2013 ================================================ The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based recognition of contexts. Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio receives a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. Radio signals are inherently noisy and signal changes depend on a variety of environmental and sensor-specific factors. It is therefore the goal of CosDEO 4th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific standards; providing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context recognition systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design aspects of device-free radio-based recognition systems - General experimental work and field studies on device-free radio-based recognition - Models/algorithms for recognizing contexts using device-free radio-based sensors - Reports on the evaluation of device-free radio-based recognition systems - Investigations directed at signal processing, recognition robustness, signal sampling, etc. for device-free radio-based recognition - Investigations directed at feasibility of recognizing novel classes using radio frequency signal analysis - System architectures for device-free radio-based recognition - Monitoring of attention levels by device-free radio-based sensing systems - Algorithms/methods enabling device-free sensing using existing and novel radio hardware Paper submission deadline: May 1st, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2013 Final paper submission: June 20th, 2013 Workshop: September 9th, 2013 Organization Committee: General program chairs Markus Scholz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany Stephan Sigg, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Moustafa Youssef, Wireless Research Center, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST)

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 8 pages or Short Position Papers, mainly “work in progress” with maximum 4pages ·They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee ·Submissions must follow the ACM formatting guidelines that can be found at: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/calls/templates.php ·Detailed submission instruction can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/pucaaworkshop2013/submission Accepted papers would be published in the ACM Digital Library and Ubicomp 2013 supplemental proceedings. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Organizing Committee : General Chairs: Mani Srivastava, UCLA Archan Misra, SMU TPC Chairs: Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research Nilanjan Banerjee, IBM Research Publicity Chair: Sumit Mittal, IBM Research Steering Committee Chair: Dipanjan Chakraborty, IBM Research _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, dear Madams, Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. We invite you to follow the example of many a renowned researcher and submit your papers to IJARAS by following the guidelines here: http://win.ua.ac.be/~vincenz/ijaras/ The contents of the volumes of IJARAS issued since 2010 may be browsed at http://www.igi-global.com/journal-contents/international-journal-adaptive-r… Please find herein the abstract of the latest issue, IJARAS 4(1). All inquiries and submissions should be sent to: Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio at vincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com; vincenzo.deflorio(a)ua.ac.be Thank you for your attention, kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio.

Taking advantage of the experience gained in the context of the European project Connect, which addresses the challenging and ambitious topic of eternally functioning distributed and heterogeneous systems, this paper presents a framework to analyse and assess dependability and performance properties in dynamic and evolving contexts. The goal is to develop an adaptive approach by coupling stochastic model-based analysis, performed at design time to support the definition and implementation of software products complying with their stated dependability and performance requirements, with run-time monitoring to re-calibrate and enhance the dependability and performance prediction along evolution. The proposed framework for adaptive assessment is described and illustrated through a case study. To simplify the description while making more concrete the approach under study, the authors adopted the setting and terminology of the Connect project.

Yellin (IBM Israel Software Lab, Jerusalem, Israel) and Jorge Buenabad-Chávez (Departmento de Computación, Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico) In the context of adaptive query processing (AQP), several techniques have been proposed for dynamically adapting/redistributing processor load assignments throughout a computation to take account of varying resource capabilities. The effectiveness of these techniques depends heavily on when and to what they adapt processor load assignments, particularly in the presence of varying load imbalance. Most existing approaches to this problem use heuristics based only upon the current machine load levels. The authors provide an algorithm, prAdapt that probabilistically predicts the future load on processors, based upon the recent history. It uses this prediction to evaluate the expected performance of different alternative solutions, taking into account the cost of the adaptation itself. If it finds a better solution than the current load distribution policy, it adapts to that distribution. Using a simulation based evaluation; they compare prAdapt to other approaches for AQP reported in the literature. The authors’ simulation results indicate that prAdapt often outperforms these other approaches.

While on the one hand the use of these technologies responds to the duty of any public institution to involve the largest number of addressees, on the other hand, society must also consider the limitations of these technologies. Firstly not everybody is so familiar in their use. Moreover, the digital administration thus becomes virtual, accessible only through technological devices and not present in a physical location, and is therefore essential to ensure full coverage of the territory, which is currently not always possible. The main novelty of this paper is the implementation of an automated system capable of adapting different types of government services to multiple communication media. The joint exploitation of multiple technologies allows to use the strengths of one of them when are found the limits of another, making this multichannel modality the solution to the requirement of ICT in public administration.

In the past few years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be instrumental to improve emergency management with particular focus on resilience, rapidity of response, adaptability to situations. To these ends, joint optimization of communication and computing is a promising cross-layer approach. Indeed, this paper is focused on the consideration of both cognitive and autonomic networking approaches when deploying an emergency management system. The cognitive approach was initially considered specifically for wireless communications, while the autonomic approach was initially introduced for managing complex computing systems; however, they share several similarities in dealing with fully reconfigurable systems. The future trend is to expand their influence toward the global optimization of the ICT infrastructure, as the authors show in this paper for the specific case of emergency management systems.

Publish/subscribe is appearing as a communication paradigm matching well with highly dynamic distributed applications characterized by reconfigurability, flexibility, and scalability. Nevertheless, very few efforts tackle dynamic modifications in the topology of the P/S distributed dispatching infrastructure despite such events represent a basic confrontation in mobile computing scenarios. In this paper, the authors clarify the mobility’s issues in the context of publish-subscribe middleware and survey solutions and protocols suggested by several research groups.

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: ü New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization ü New advancements in Software Defined Networking ü Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision ü Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks ü Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization ü Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks ü Self-organizing group and pattern formation ü Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation ü Self-organizing information dissemination and content search ü Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems ü Risks and limits of self-organization ü Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet ü 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 submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6) printed pages in length, including figures.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Mon Apr 08 12:09:05 MESZ 2013 An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Betreff: CfP: Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this! -- Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ========================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are also new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21st, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 04:30:59 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on Networked Games Datum: Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:27:53 +1100 Von: grenville armitage <garmitage(a)swin.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================== Call for papers: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on "Networked Games" http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/iccfp3 ========================================================================== Final submission due 1 September 2013 Publication date: May/June 2014 (Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 15 August 2013.) Networked games have grown in popularity over the past decade, catalyzed by the spread of mobile and residential Internet connections with high capacities and low latencies that encourage game developers to incorporate networked features into their products. Although networked games have demonstrated commercial, artistic, and technical successes, challenges and opportunities remain as computer technologies continue to grow. Powerful, inexpensive PCs and game consoles provide the potential for immersive, multiplayer game play, but must still overcome the geographic dispersion of gamers to be fun. Cloud computing promises new models for game computation, with the added challenge of delivering interactive game content to players. Cheap, always-connected smartphones and tablets provide a new frontier for game development, but with the connectivity and security challenges that come with mobile, wireless networks. Underneath all this is the challenge of connecting clients and servers over shared and unpredictably congested IP networks. This special issue aims to bring together new research results from a variety of backgrounds that address these core challenges. Topics of interest include networked game-related work in: - scalability, cloud support, and game system architectures; - performance evaluation and optimization; - effective visualization on Internet infrastructures; - efficient message distribution and network protocol design; - latency issues and lag compensation techniques; - operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware; - multiplayer usability, quality of experience, and user behavior studies; - mobile games; - security and cheat detection and prevention; and - social networking in multiplayer games. Editors' note: We encourage submissions from both academic and industrial practitioners, especially as they pertain to open source tools or products, but content must have technical merit, not be an advertisement. Submission Guidelines All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC's international readership—primarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with current topics. We do not accept white papers, and we discourage strictly theoretical or mathematical papers. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an account, which you can use to log on to IC's Author Center (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewmagazines/acinternet) and upload your submission.
