-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP for a Special Section on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks", IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 18:10:05 +0200 Von: Cagri Gungor <cagrigungor(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Section on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks" http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ss/CFP_WirelessSens.pdf Both existing industrial systems and new emerging industrial applications require intelligent and low-cost industrial automation solutions to improve the productivity, safety, and efficiency of such systems. The collaborative intelligence and low-cost nature of industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) brings several advantages over traditional wired industrial monitoring and control systems, including flexibility, self-configuration, rapid deployment, and an inherent intelligent processing capability. To this end, IWSN-based automation systems are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunities presented by information and communication technologies (ICT) to offer new and more effective functions and solutions. The specific constraints of the industrial automation domain on the other hand lead to new requirements towards the dependability – especially reliability, safety and security – of the ICT applied. This Special Section is focused on the development, adoption and application of wireless sensor networks for the industrial environment with its unique requirements. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research themes and technologies: - Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms for Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), - Quality-of-Service (QoS) Issues and Network Management In IWSNs, - Performance Evaluations and Simulations of IWSNs, - Energy Management and Harvesting in IWSNs, - RF Measurements and Channel Modelling in Industrial Environments, - Resource Management and Scheduling in IWSNs, - Cognitive Communications for Industrial Applications, - Hardware Developments and Platforms for IWSNs and their Impact on Communication Protocols, - Network Integration in Industrial Automation Systems (Heterogeneous Networks, Wired/Wireless) , - Security and reliability of IWSN applications, - Advances in technologies for implementing IWSNs, - Standards and Regulations for IWSNs, - Field Tests and Pilot Projects. The use of industrial wireless sensor networks opens up new application areas. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Smart Manufacturing, Web-of-Things in the Factory Line, - Home and Building Automation, - Management of Infrastructure, such as Utilities and Road Networks, - Intelligent Vehicle/Transport Systems, such as Traffic/Congestion Management, - Safety and Security, - Assisted Living/Citizen Well-being - Smart Grids and Smart Metering. Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting developments at the interface of information and communication technologies and these application environments are welcome. Results obtained by simulations must be validated by experiments or analytical results.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 20 December deadline - Springer TSJ Special issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Network Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 15:52:50 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for multiple copies]* Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems, Springer * *Special Issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks URL:* http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/CFP_VSN_TSJ2012.pdf *Theme and Scope * For the past few decades, Vehicular ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a key technology serving community of peoples in various applications. During this era, there has been a tremendous growth in this field with many new techniques and standards have been developed for the ease and safety of the passengers. Now, the passengers during travelling can take smart decisions by knowing the outside environment variables such as traffic conditions, density of the vehicles in a particular region, duration of traffic lights in a particular areas, etc. Moreover, these passengers can download and upload the heavy contents while travelling with the aid of the already deployed Road Side Unit (RSUs) which are connected to Internet to provide various services to the end users. Modern Vehicles equipped with sensor nodes monitor and collect the data in sparse and dense regions which can be processed for the benefit of community of peoples, e.g., health monitoring and diagnostic systems, safety alarms, intelligent transport systems, and environment monitoring. The vehicles during movement, equipped with sensor nodes, can also collect the data from human body and that data can be processed in collaboration with the other vehicles for various medical purposes. In this case, VANETs can also be used in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). However, as a new technology emerges, it throws new challenges to the research community. Although there exist many solutions of different kinds in the relevant areas, there is still a requirement of more efficient solutions which can be used in wide variety of applications. Many industrial and academic institutions have already geared up to provide solutions for the benefits of the community. Moreover, there are many constraints that have to be resolved before providing any standard solution. Some examples of the constraints are; mobility of the nodes, connectivity in sparse and dense regions, failure of nodes, network traffic congestion and interference, etc. Submission is solicited from researchers across the globe in the following issues (but not limited to these): - Efficient route selection in sparse and dense regions in presence of mobility of the nodes - Optimized cluster selection on the road - Optimized access point deployment for better coverage and uninterrupted services to all the vehicles on the road - Security during the data dissemination - Cache management for peer to peer (P2P) information sharing - Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks - Optimized Service selection and resource discovery - Providing QoS to various services - Solutions to various critical applications such as health monitoring system, safety alarms etc. - Channel allocation and selection in VANETs *Submission Guidelines* Authors can see manuscript preparation guideline here: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+system… Authors are required to submit papers as an all-in-one PDF file to any of the Guest Editors (CC to all is preferred). Please note in the subject line of the email, "SI_VSN_2012”. Papers would be judged by the expert reviewers based on the originality, methodology, novelty, and new innovations. Papers submitted for this special issue must not be submitted or are under consideration for publication anywhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> Gesendet: Thu Nov 01 01:49:00 MEZ 2012 An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Betreff: [Tccc] Wireless Networks Intrusion - JCSS Special Issue - 1 month remaining for submission [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless networktechnologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wirelesscommunications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wirelessself-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network(WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TrackChair] WiVeC 2013 Deadline extended to Nov 20 Datum: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 09:05:51 +0000 (GMT) Von: Elisabeth Uhlemann <elisabeth.uhlemann(a)ieee.org> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear all, Due to multiple requests, we decided to extend the paper submission deadline of WiVeC 2013 to November 20. This is the final extension and the deadline is hard. The web page should be updated shortly. We are also delighted to inform you that the authors of the best WiVeC 2013 papers will be solicited to submit an extension of their papers to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine. (Impact factor: 1.22) Please help us spread this information. We have attach the CfP again below. Best regards, Andreas Festag and Elisabeth Uhlemann TPC Co-Chairs of WiVeC 2013 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 20, 2012 The best three IEEE WiVeC 2013 papers will be invited to publish an extended version of their papers in the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact factor: 1.22) Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. The authors of best three IEEE WiVeC 2013 papers will be invited to publish an extended version of their papers in the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact factor: 1.22). Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com The authors of the best WiVeC 2013 papers will be solicited to submit an extension of their WiVeC 2013 papers to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2013 CFP - Deadline extended: November 13, 2012 Datum: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:11:05 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ##################################################### PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: NOVEMBER 13, 2012 ##################################################### CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 19 and 33. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline (EXTENDED): November 13, 2012 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012 - Camera ready: Late January, 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Aaron Crandall, Washington State University, USA Jordi Cucurull Juan, Linköping University, Sweden Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Maciej Kurant, ETH, Switzerland Alan Marchiori, Colorado School of Mines, USA Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Mikko Pitkänen, AALTO, Finland Silvia Santini, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Jing Wang, E2open Inc., USA Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

30 Oct '12

Special Issue on Research Advances and Standardization Activities in WLANs Elsevier Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/re… Scope ================================== A new generation of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is going to make its appearance in the upcoming years, with the IEEE 802.11aa (Robust Audio Video Transport Streaming), IEEE 802.11ac (Very-high throughput < 6GHz), IEEE 802.11af (TV White Spaces) and IEEE 802.11ad (Very-high throughput ~ 60 GHz), as examples of the most expected ones. Nevertheless, all next-generation standards will consider some of the most significant advances on the wireless communication and networking area in the last decade, developed by a highly active community, in both academia and industry. This special issue requests papers that advance the state-of-the-art of the recent and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards (i.e., IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.11aa, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11ae, IEEE 802.11ah, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.11ai, etc.), as well as present mechanisms and solutions, from MAC or above layers, that could be readily transferred to the not-yet finished standards or their future amendments. Please, note that pure PHY-layer papers are outside the scope of this Special Issue, although cross-layer approaches are welcome. In addition, there is special interest in those papers that provide new theoretical and/or experimental insights on the performance of the new and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards in real application scenarios, as well as propose optimal parameter configurations to make them work as much efficiently as possible.

29 Oct '12

Dear Colleagues, let me draw your attention to the call for papers of SANES 2013: Self-Adaptive Networked Embedded Systems - SANES 2013 19 - 21 February, 2013 - Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the International Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems - PECCS 2013 SCOPE Self-adaptive systems are capable of monitoring their environment and their own states in order to optimize and match their functions to different scenarios and requirements. The concept of self-adaptiveness belongs to the wide scope of autonomic computing, while focusing on the aspects of self-awareness, context-awareness and self-adaptation. While networked embedded systems relate to several research domains (e.g. software engineering, hardware engineering, network and communication), their studies are usually limited in their own concerns, assumption and verification environment. This special session aims to gather complementary research efforts addressing diverse issues in self-adaptive embedded systems, from requirement engineering, modeling, and application to concrete implementations. Both functional and extra-functional (e.g. energy-efficiency, dependability and security) properties are of interest to the session. Individual adaptive systems, distributed systems, and system-of-systems are relevant to this theme. The session solicits works in the requirement engineering, software and hardware design, modeling, implementation and applications of self-aware, context-aware and adaptive networked embedded systems. It is a follow-up of two successful special sessions in PECCS 2011 and 2012. Selected papers from the previous editions have appeared in international journals, and this tradition will be followed in SANES’13. TOPICS of INTEREST • Requirement engineering • Self-adaptive many-core systems, distributed systems. • Self-adaptive software and middleware design • Modeling and formal methods for self-adaptation and context-awareness • Energy Efficiency, Dependability and Security • Collective adaptive system/ System-of-systems • Industrial and Commercial Case Studies PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: Paper Templates Please also check the Guidelines and Templates. Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support - and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). Same as previous years, high-quality papers from the special session will be recommended to international journals (e.g. International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems, www.igi-global.com/ijertcs), or be invited in special issues on self-adaptive systems.

The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in an early phase of their career with the opportunity to discuss these with experts and gain general feedback as well as specific comments on their proposal. Second, this is an excellent opportunity for a young researcher to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. Format ------ The aim of the doctoral colloquium is to discuss research ideas and PhD projects at different - typically - early stages. The colloquium aims at a friendly atmosphere which shall inspire the participants and put them - and their research - in the focus. A panel of experts will discuss the research based on a short presentation. Interactivity and discussion are the goal. In addition to the colloquium a presentation of all participants at the main conference will take place as a poster session. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) is used to attract conference participants. Submissions ----------- Prospective participants are required to submit three different documents via email at phd-chair(a)netsys2013.de: at the point of submission: 1. Research Statement: a two-page abstract that sketches the research proposal of the PhD student, the contribution to knowledge and how the research will advance the state of the art. 2.

16 Oct '12

Special Issue on Research Advances and Standardization Activities in WLANs Elsevier Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/re… Scope ================================== A new generation of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is going to make its appearance in the upcoming years, with the IEEE 802.11aa (Robust Audio Video Transport Streaming), IEEE 802.11ac (Very-high throughput < 6GHz), IEEE 802.11af (TV White Spaces) and IEEE 802.11ad (Very-high throughput ~ 60 GHz), as examples of the most expected ones. Nevertheless, all next-generation standards will consider some of the most significant advances on the wireless communication and networking area in the last decade, developed by a highly active community, in both academia and industry. This special issue requests papers that advance the state-of-the-art of the recent and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards (i.e., IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.11aa, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11ae, IEEE 802.11ah, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.11ai, etc.), as well as present mechanisms and solutions, from MAC or above layers, that could be readily transferred to the not-yet finished standards or their future amendments. Please, note that pure PHY-layer papers are outside the scope of this Special Issue, although cross-layer approaches are welcome. In addition, there is special interest in those papers that provide new theoretical and/or experimental insights on the performance of the new and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards in real application scenarios, as well as propose optimal parameter configurations to make them work as much efficiently as possible. Papers proposing, evaluating and comparing disruptive approaches to the path followed by the IEEE 802.11 standards are also very much appreciated. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Coexistence mechanisms between IEEE 802.11 and other wireless networks in unlicensed bands. - Inter-Access point cooperative mechanisms. - Service discovery in WLANs. - Dynamic channel access mechanisms, including cognitive radio techniques and channel bonding strategies. - Link-layer mechanisms to efficiently operate in the new spectrum bands (below 1 GHz, TV White Spaces, 60 GHz band, etc.). - Multiple packet transmission and reception techniques. - Packet aggregation mechanisms. - Energy efficient link-layer protocols for multi-service WLANs with heterogeneous QoS requirements. - Cross-layer Network/MAC techniques for multi-hop networking and cooperative relays. - Advanced relaying strategies for MIMO multicell systems. - Mobility support, vehicular networks and networks of mobile objects. - Multimedia home networking, HDTV and video distribution. - Integration of home and city Smart Grids (M2M communications) in WLANs. Tentative Schedule ================================== - Submission deadline: October 31, 2012 - Author notification: January 31, 2013 - Revised paper due: February 28, 2013 - Final author notification: April 15, 2013 - Expected publication: 3rd quarter 2013 Guest-editors ================================== Boris Bellalta (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Alexey Vinel (Tampere University of Technology, Finland) Periklis Chatzimisios (Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece) Raffaele Bruno (IIT/CNR, Italy) Chonggang Wang (InterDigital, USA) Instructions for submission: ================================== Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: WLANs" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.
