They have been employed in emerging areas with high potential for societal impact, and are being used in plethora of biomedical, environmental and industrial applications. The processes of data gathering, analysis and information fusion need to employ efficient cooperation and coordination among tasks at different layers and abstractions – while having the constraint of energy-consumption on mind and, consequently, prolonging the effective network lifetime and its topology control. A specific aspect of collaboration in WSN is the one with mobile systems. In many environmental application scenarios, typically there are much fewer mobile than static nodes, but the mobile nodes have much higher energy reserves, as well as communication range. Consequently, they can improve the sensing coverage and reliability of transmission – but they do introduce an extra burden: the management of the mobile units. In other application scenarios – e.g., structural health-monitoring and traffic management – the ratio of mobile units to static (e.g., on bridges or along road-side) in a certain area is much higher. However, in such settings, the mobile entities that have a collaborative role change much more frequently with time. Mobile and wireless systems offer a wide range of applications and services that are conducive to collaboration, and vice versa. The International Workshop on Collaborative Mobile Systems and Sensors Networks (CMSSN 2013) aims at providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions addressing various challenges in efficient management of the collaborative aspects in wireless and mobile sensors networks and systems. CMSSN will be held in conjunction with the 2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2013), providing a focused forum for presenting current results and visions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Mobile and Sensor Networks Architectures * Data and Resource Sharing in Mobile Systems and Sensors Networks * Protocols for Efficient Coupling of Mobile Systems and Sensor Networks * Interfacing between WSN and Mobile Systems * Routing and Data Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks * Clustering in CMMSN * Visualization Techniques for CMSSN * Methods for Ad Hoc Deployment of Static Nodes and Collaborative Guidance of Mobile Nodes * Performance Metrics and Evaluation in CMSSN * Trust, Security and Privacy Issues in Distributed CMSSN * Wearable/Body Sensor Networks and Mobility * CMSSN for Groups and Organizations Work * Intelligent Sensor Technologies and Applications * Experiences with Mobile Applications, Networks and Systems * Innovative Mobile and Mobile Sensing Applications * Mobile Devices for Collaborative Activities * Support for Mobile Social Networking and Mobile Web * Systems for Location, Context Sensing and Awareness * Usability for Mobile and Sensing Applications and Systems PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research work on above and other topics related to sensor networks and systems and collaboration.

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.

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Datum: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:24:03 +0100 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi<valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it *** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline: February 10, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread availability of mobile portable devices enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, coupled with the impelling need of communication anytime and anywhere, has rapidly raised the interest towards new approaches to communications between users. Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to the ir destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Mobility measurements and models, mobility trace analysis - Measurements, models, and analysis for user behaviors on mobile devices - Unicast and multicast routing - Transport, congestion control, and reliability issues - Content dissemination, content caching, service composition, opportunistic computing - Trust, security & privacy in opportunistic forwarding, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems, and key management - Application support and middleware for opportunistic networks - New applications and services relying on opportunistic networking - Systems and experience for real-world deployments Schedule -------- Submission deadline: February 10, 2013 Author notification: May 24, 2013 Revised paper due: June 30, 2013 Final author notification: September 16, 2013 Publication: TBD Guest Editors ------------- Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea Melek Onen, EURECOM, France Joerg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

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), 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/).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA) Datum: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 09:26:38 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | SESENA 2013 | 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering for | Sensor Network Applications | | In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on | Software Engineering (ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Paper submission : February 7, 2013 | Author notification : February 28, 2013 | Camera Ready Version : March 7, 2013 | Workshop : May 21, 2013 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA) By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-Physical and Pervasive Computing Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individual's hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community, there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify development tasks and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA13 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in-depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. To foster discussion, SESENA13 will also host a special "speakers' corner" session composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes). ----------------------------------- Topics of Interest The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - environment and context modeling; - development methodologies; - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; - testing, debugging, and validation; - non-functional modeling and analysis; - software engineering for socio-technical requirements; - security and trust; - formal verification and model-checking; - model-driven approaches; - middleware systems; - interfacing WSNs and business services; - integration of WSNs in IoT applications. ----------------------------------- Submissions Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules. Research papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sesena13). The program committee will review all submissions for quality, relevance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site. ----------------------------------- Important Dates Paper submission : February 7, 2013 Author notification : February 28, 2013 Camera Ready Version : March 7, 2013 Workshop : May 21, 2013 ----------------------------------- Workshop Organizers - Christine Julien, UTexas, USA (Program Chair) - Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen University, Germany (Program Chair) ----------------------------------- Steering Committee - Vittorio Cortellessa, University of L'Aquila, Italy - Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany - Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano, Italy - Amy L.

We will analyse how these systems self-organize, acquire their structure, and evolve. Thus, we aim to advance our understanding of such key infrastructures in our societies and, more generally, of these sorts of self-organizational processes in nature. We are further interested in learning how to engineer such self-organizing networked systems to have desirable properties including dependability, predictability, and resilience in the face of the inevitable challenges that they face. Building on the success of its predecessors, this multi-disciplinary workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers from complex systems, distributed systems, and communication networks to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. We invite the submission of manuscripts that present original research results on the themes of self-organization in techno-social systems and networks-of-networks. ** Key Topics The workshop scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topical areas of self-organizing systems: - Design and analysis of self-organizing and self-managing systems - Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society - Structure, characteristics, and dynamics of self-organizing networks - Self-organization in techno-social systems - Self-organized social computation - Self-organized communication systems - Citizen Science - Techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing systems - Tools to quantify self-organization - Control and control parameters of self-organizing systems - Phase transitions in self-organizing systems - Robustness and adaptation in self-organizing systems - Self-organization in complex networks such as peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc, vehicular, and social networks - Self-organization in socio-economic systems - User and operator-related aspects of man-made self-organizing systems - Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Self-protection, self-configuration, diagnosis, and healing - 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 - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks - Social, cognitive, and semantic aspects of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Decentralized power management in the smart grid ** Important Dates Submission deadline (extended): January 18, 2013 Notification of acceptance: February 17, 2013 Camera-ready papers due: February 24, 2013 ** Papers IWSOS 2013 invites the submission of manuscripts that present original research results which have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international technical program committee and judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ========================================================================== ========================================================================== CFP for the Special Issue in the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Journal on "High Performance Mobile Opportunistic Systems" Scope ================================== Opportunistic networks are an emerging networking paradigm where communication between the source and destination occurs on-the-fly and depends on the availability of communication resources. Opportunistic communication paradigm heavily benefits from the heterogeneous networking and communication infrastructure that currently exist, e.g., mobile networks, P2P networks, with the supporting technologies in data management and system interoperability. The SI aims at presenting state-of-the-art research and future trends in mobile and heterogeneous opportunistic networking and application paradigms, combining the mobile communication, mobility and resource management field, and scientifically presents the various concepts that contribute to enable high performance computing in these environments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: •resource management (failure-aware, high-availability, efficiency, reliability, fault tolerance, etc.) •data management (data gathering and fusion, aggregation, dissemination, source coding, signal processing, etc.) •cooperative and opportunistic algorithms (cooperative PHY, relays, distributed signal processing, etc.) •key functionalities (security, localization, privacy and authentication, self-*, synchronization, etc.) •novel protocols (PHY level, MAC level, routing aspects, congestion and admission control, communication networking paradigms, etc.) •self-adaptiveness (self-organization, self-stabilization, autonomic computing approaches, etc.) •cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (channel coding, cross-layer interaction, protocols for cross-layering, etc.) •performance evaluation and limitation (network capacity, metrics and new schemes’ evaluation through real-time or simulation, etc.) •opportunistic storage (backup techniques, autonomic- management of storage, location-aware caching, etc.) •energy consideration (optimization of energy-efﬁcient protocols/algorithms, energy-efﬁcient MAC, routing and cross-layer protocols, adaptive protocols, innovative power control techniques, novel applications, scalability issues, etc.) •mobility models (mobility modeling, management and optimization, mobility effects, efficiency, conceptual models and applied certain patterns, human mobility, mobility aware protocols, service portability, etc.) •implementation case studies (i.e. WSN, Ad-hoc, HAPs, etc. ) •simulation frameworks (tools, designs, module support and integration, novel performance analysis etc.) Articles should be of novel research nature whereas only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.
