We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer ExtremeCom 2013 – The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand the challenges involved in networking in this region. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: ·Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems ·Real deployments of networks in extreme environments ·Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments ·User experience research ·Delay tolerant networking ·Mesh networks and sensor networks ·Low-power and intermittent-power protocols ·Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications ·Distributed computing for mobile environments ·Networked applications and services ·Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking ·Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications ·Mining and modeling of mobility and social network Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Local arrangement committee: Ólafur Helgason, Iceland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Ken Banks, Kiwanja.net, South Africa Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Gary Chan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Marcelo Dias de Amorim, CNRS, France Michael Doering, Bosch Research, Germany Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon/INRIA, France Roy Friedman, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Bo Han, AT&T Research, USA Luigi Iannone, Telecom ParisTech, France Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden HengChang Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA James Kwok, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Yong Li, Tsinghua University, China Alessandro Mei, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Jörg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (4 days left)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.

Fwd: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: First ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013) Datum: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:27:44 +0100 Von: LOCHIN Emmanuel <Emmanuel.LOCHIN(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: LOCHIN Emmanuel <Emmanuel.LOCHIN(a)ISAE.FR> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG The 1st ACM MobiCom Workshop on Lowest Cost Denominator Networking for Universal Access (LCDNet 2013) will be held jointly with ACM MobiCom on September 30, 2013, in Miami, Florida. It is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia and industry. Internet has crossed new frontiers with access getting faster and cheaper. New applications and services are being offered – and their impact omnipresent. The Internet Society’s recent global Internetsurvey reveals that the Internet should be considered as a basic human birthright. On one end, we have the developed world where access is getting faster and services being developed to utilize faster access. On the other end, there are people who do not have access to the Internet at all. Some may not be able to get it due to lack of infrastructure support (which accounts to the notion of digital divide problem faced by most people in developed countries). There have been signiﬁcant initiatives to solve the problem of affordable infrastructure. Crucially, most of these approaches address infrastructural barriers without addressing economic ones. Leaving connectivity for all to be governed by market economics is a major impediment to achieving the full benefits of the Internet, and that basic Internet access should be made freely available to all due to its societal benefits. The current Internet access model which is governed by market economics makes it practically infeasible for enabling universal access especially for those with socio-economic barriers. The value chains do not reflect the technical development – as made obvious by recent debates between operators and content providers. There are both research and policy challenges to the realization of a future Internet capability that will offer appropriate access to all parts of society. The current Internet architecture is progressively reaching a saturation point in meeting increasing user's expectations and behaviors as well as progressively showing inability to efficiently respond to new technological challenges (in terms of security, scalability, mobility, availability, and manageability) but also socio-economical challenges. This widening range of requirements imposed on the Internet architecture leads to a growing collection of solutions, which each in their own right address a set of requirement while driving forward the fragmentation that ultimately stands in the way of achieving the digital inclusion vision. In contrast to the way the current Internet has evolved, the development of the next generation network will demand both collaboration and a shared vision between researchers, corporations, community groupings and governments. There can be no single uniform solution that embraces all types of user and all locations. We need an infrastructure that combines different transmission technologies, while at the same time support an increasingly diverse range of Internet applications. The research community should also encourage, identify and architect new modes of access that could increase the efficiency of the usage of existing communication resources, enhance cooperation among operators, cooperation among end users, improving access/accounting on a per service basis rather than on a per volume basis, enable “sponsoring” of access to communication as such as well as to selected services.   This workshop will address the problem of digital exclusion due to both geographical and socio-economic disparity. We would like also to pay attention to specific types of exclusion – like temporal exclusion caused by catastrophes (in terms of an earthquake or tsunami) and malicious activities. In such situations, the poorest communities suffer the most. Technologies that require an infrastructure setup may sometimes be not feasible due to cost, accessibility or availability. Hence the use of alternate technologies that enable cooperative networking – e.g. multi-hop ad-hoc set-ups, or delay tolerant communication based approaches might save lives, and mitigate suffering of numerous victims. ACM LCDNet 2013 will address a range of research questions (feasibility, scalability, security, new privacy challenges, robustness, resource allocation, sustainability, performance etc.). We solicit contributions on state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We strongly encourage out-of-the box thinking and the workshop will have a dedicated session focusing on blue-skies research within the context of the workshop. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Innovations in wireless and satellite technologies that enable efficient low cost spectrum use 2. Characterising broadband performance 3. Advancements in Information-centric networking, delay-tolerant networking, cloud onloading/offloading to improve access and reduce average transmission cost per service access 4. Effectively utilising unused capacity using state of art network virtualization techniques to realize low-cost access 5. Multi-layer resource pooling 6. Social networking based communications during disasters 7. Supporting effectively different service classes, with authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) for different traffic/service types 8. Security and privacy concerns 9. New applications and services utilising low cost models 10. Socio-economic models for adoption and deployment 11.

-------- 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: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:50:42 -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* <http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/%7Ehammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.…>** * *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.

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

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Datum: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:34:34 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ============================================================= 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it 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 of wireless sensor networks. 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 are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world WSN 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 21, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be August 15 2013, notification August 22 2013.

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/).

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.
