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): December 9, 2012 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2013 Camera-ready papers due: February 3, 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. The Springer “LNCS Proceedings” style should be used for submission. Templates for LaTeX and Word are available at http://tiny.cc/qiohy. Full papers should describe original research results. Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style (including figures, references, and a short abstract). Short Papers should be position papers, challenging papers, and papers presenting first results. Short papers are up to 6 pages using the LNCS style (including figures, references, and a short abstract). ** Proceedings The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2013 to present the paper. ** Committees * General Chairs Maxi San Miguel, IFISC (CSIC-University Balearic Islands), Spain Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, Germany * Program Chairs Falko Dressler, University of Innsbruck, Austria Vittorio Loreto, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy * Publicity Chairs Karin Anna Hummel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Carlos Gershenson, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico * Publication Chair Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt and Lakeside Labs, Austria * Treasury Chair Bernhard Plattner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland * Local Organization Chair Pere Colet, IFISC (CSIC-University Balearic Islands), Spain * Steering Committee Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, Germany David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK Bernhard Plattner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland James Sterbenz, University of Kansas, USA Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, USA Georg Carle, TU Munich, Germany (IFIP TC6 Representative) Karin Anna Hummel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Shlomo Havlin, Bar-Ilan University, Israel * Technical Program Committee Karl Aberer, EPFL Andrea Baronchelli, Northeastern University Alain Barrat, Centre de Physique Theorique Marc Barthelemy, Institut de Physique Théorique Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurt Raffaele Bruno, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) Claudio Castellano, CNR-ISC Rome Ciro Cattuto, ISI Foundation Turin Hermann de Meer, University of Passau Albert Diaz-Guilera, Universitat de Barcelona Falko Dressler, University of Innsbruck Alois Ferscha, Johannes Kepler University Linz Andreas Fischer, University of Passau Santo Fortunato, Aalto University Carlos Gershenson, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Salima Hassas, University of Lyon 1 Boudewijn Haverkort, University of Twente Poul Heegaard, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Tom Holvoet, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Karin Anna Hummel, ETH Zurich Sebastian Lehnhoff, OFFIS Institute for Information Technology Vittorio Loreto, Sapienza University of Rome Hein Meling, University of Stavanger Yamir Moreno, Inst. for Biocomput. and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham Dimitri Papadimitriou, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Christian Prehofer, Fraunhofer ESK Jose Ramasco, Inst. for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems Andreas Riener, Johannes Kepler University Linz Kave Salamatian, Universite De Savoie Maxi San Miguel, University Balearic Islands Hiroki Sayama, Binghamton University Paul Smith, Austrian Institute of Technology Bosiljka Tadic, Jozef Stefan Institute Dirk Trossen, University of Cambridge

================================================================================ 5th Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Embedded Systems ================================================================================ http://www.control.lth.se/APRES2013/ Adaptive systems can respond to environmental changes including usage conditions, hardware/software defects, resource allocation, and non-continual feature usage. As such, adaptive systems can extend the area of operations and improve efficiency in the use of system resources. However, adaptability also incurs overhead in terms of system complexity and requirements, as a result the adaptive system needs careful design and usage testing. More precisely, an adaptive system requires means for reconfiguration that allows it to adapt to changes. These means and their mechanisms introduce additional complexity to the design and the architecture, and they also require additional resources such as computation, power, and also communication bandwidth for distributed reconfiguration. Moreover, to take advantage of adaptability, new specification methods are needed, to define acceptable adaptation ranges which will be explored by the system at run-time to improve a given performance metric. However, current operating systems and network protocols are not designed to support such flexible requirements, and generally do not support complementary reflexive mechanisms that are needed to allow the application to adjust itself to the current configuration. Finally, programming such systems also needs adequate middleware layers that provide adequate interfaces for the development of adaptive applications. Building such middleware so that it preserves adaptability while providing performance guarantees together with satisfying other usual goals, such as modularity, reusability and scalability, is a challenge still to be conquered. This workshop brings together researchers in the development and use of adaptive and reconfigurable embedded systems and from the embedded systems community at large. Of particular interest are new concepts and ideas for modeling and analyzing tradeoffs of embedded and real-time systems, novel algorithms and mechanisms to realize adaptation and reconfigurability, and experience reports with practical case studies. ================================================================================ Topics ================================================================================ Any topics of interest to embedded, real-time and dependable systems research in the areas of systems, languages, software, theory, networking, control and analysis with specific focus on reconfigurability and adaptivity. ================================================================================ Important dates: ================================================================================ Paper submission: January 13, 2013 Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2013 Camera ready: March 14, 2013 Workshop: April 8, 2013

These vehicles require frequent charging, thus straining the power grid that needs to adapt to these extra loads. A smart grid needs to be able to accommodate seamlessly the extra power demand generated by such vehicles. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop novel vehicular protocols and communication networks to provide information regarding the placement of closest charging stations to the vehicles, availability of charging slots and other services offered in real time. Further, they can be employed for vehicle monitoring, for providing data for detailed usage analysis, remote management, as well as to improve reliability, and even to help decide whether vehicles should be charged at on- or off-peak times. To accomplish these tasks and in addition to monitor dynamic pricing, offer flexible billing smart devices need to be developed and integrated in the network. On the supply side, operators should optimize grid operations and offer energy efficiency programs to reduce consumption and help smooth demand. Smart grid technology would enable utility companies to efficiently manage large number of electric vehicles; such technologies would integrate sensors, advanced meters, smart transformers, automatic energy distribution, load monitoring, and intelligent energy management to minimize operational problems and maximize efficiency of the power grid Finally, there is need for infrastructure that would provide up to date maps of locations and services of charging stations, or for battery switching and swapping. For electric vehicles to become a viable large scale transportation option, a reliable, ubiquitous recharging network is needed and the associated information, communications and control infrastructure needs to be developed. The 1st IEEE Workshop on Electric Vehicle Networks for Smart Grid Applications (EVN-SGA 2013) will serve as a forum for researchers from industry and academia, standard developers, professionals, policy makers and practitioners to share their state-of-the-art research and development results. The purpose of the workshop is to foster discussion on emerging and novel approaches to integrate electric vehicles within the future smart grid, from all angles of views, including researchers, developers, manufacturers, policy regulators, funding bodies. Attendees will be able to gain a clear picture on the current status, the future and opportnuities in the field of electric vehicles and to interact with the highest experts all over the world on the subject. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard forums or in industry consortia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: MUSCARIELLO Luca OLNC/OLN <luca.muscariello(a)orange.com> Gesendet: Tue Nov 13 10:41:54 MEZ 2012 An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Betreff: [Tccc] Call For Papers - IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices in Name-Oriented Networking - IEEE NOMEN 2013 ********* CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE NOMEN 2013 ********* IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices in Name-Oriented Networking ******* in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2013 ******* April 19, 2013 Turin, Italy http://infocom.di.unimi.it/index.php/nomenwksp.html Scope of the conference The concept of name-oriented networking (also referred to as Content/Information-Centric Networking) has emerged in recent years as a promising paradigm for the future Internet architecture. Instead of address-oriented communication, as in the current Internet architecture, a name-oriented network architecture considers named data as first class entities and rethinks the communication model in terms of what data to fetch instead of which host to reach. This basic idea has spawned world-wide research efforts in exploring various design approaches to enable applications communicating by data names instead of host IP addresses in a scalable, secure, and efficient manner. Following the success of NOMEN 2012, the objective of this workshop is to present up-to-date research advances in the field, with an emphasis on new applications enabled by the novel paradigm and on the evaluation and deployment challenges. More specifically, we solicit contributions in (1) new applications and use cases facilitated by the name-oriented networking paradigm (for example IoT networking, enterprise networks, supporting peer-to-peer applications, health-care applications, vehicle networking, online gaming); (2) implementation, scaling and deployment challenges; and (3) methodologies for evaluating existing design choices and comparing their respective advantages. The workshop solicits submissions of original work that pertains to the design, development, evaluation, and analysis of name-oriented networks and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Business models and economic issues * Deployment challenges and test-bed experience * Methodologies for measuring and comparing system performance * New application designs and use cases * Data naming * Security and privacy * Name-oriented routing protocols * Forwarding strategies * Network management and operations * Mobility management * Delay tolerant networks * In-network caching techniques * Performance Evaluation * Router designs * Resource management and congestion control * Transport protocols Manuscript submissions All submissions must be original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress; papers describing significant experiments are especially encouraged. Reviews will be single-blind; please include author's name and affiliation in the submission. * Paper Submission: Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and in a pdf file (IEEE Infocom style). Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. * Poster/demo Submission: Submissions must be no greater than 2 pages in length and in a pdf file. * Panel Proposal Submission: Submissions should identify the panel chair and the complete list of panel members, with indications on whether each proposed panelist has been contact and agreed to participate.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) Datum: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:10:17 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> Please distribute to your colleagues. *************************************************************** Call for Papers EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Nov 23, 2013 Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) in conjunction with Networked Systems (NetSys) 2013 Stuttgart, Germany, March 11-15, 2013 *************************************************************** Scope ===== Ubiquitous computing has been a strong vision of contemporary computer science for the last decade, initially with respect to its potential for innovative services, but then also considering socio-technical implications. From a technical point of view the management of highly complex, heterogeneous and distributed systems still raises many interesting questions. Self-organisation, autonomous behaviour, and adaptation are important concerns, and the numerous theoretical and prototypical approaches to these challenges still have to prove their value in everyday applications. However, the conception and realisation of these autonomous, adaptive systems cannot be constrained to technical challenges only. How about the usability of such context-aware, adaptive applications outside of the research labs in our real environment? Will they provide new chances for improving life quality in various societal environments? Do we have to put a special focus on societal and also legal implications when these systems are deployed on a broad scale? How do we ensure trust in a complex system that is working outside of our direct influence? SACS 2013 is the first international edition of the successful, previously national workshop series SAKS that started in 2006. The workshop is intentionally directed at a multidisciplinary audience. It will shed light on the wide field of technical, societal, and legal considerations that need to be part of a comprehensive analysis of the state-of-the-art of information technology research in complex, autonomous systems. Whereas the preceding SAKS workshops were mainly intended to provide a forum for German national research activities, we expect this workshop to play a significant part in linking together contributors on an international scale. We especially welcome research papers, reports, and discussion contributions from industry. The workshop program will consist of the presentations of the selected peer reviewed contributions, an invited talk, and a discussion session. Workshop Topics =============== The following list specifies the major fields of interest for this workshop; related topics are certainly welcome. ==== Self-organisation and adaptation from a technical view ==== * Construction and evaluation of self-organising systems * Biologically inspired approaches * Architectures and frameworks for autonomous and ubiquitous systems * Self-organisation in service-oriented architectures * Adaptive applications and middleware * Context models and context processing * Collective sensing, collective awareness, collective intelligence * Design methodologies for personalised, context-sensitive services * Integration of users into the development process for autonomous systems * User-centric design, user interfaces, and usage patterns ==== Social and legal implications in a world of adaptive IT ==== * Trust and reliability for adaptive, context sensitive systems * Society-aware design of adaptive, context sensitive systems * Application domain-specific requirements * Responsibility and liability ==== Self-organisation and adaptation as enabling technologies ==== * Industrial requirements and projects * Research prototypes and experience reports * New value chains, new business / service / provider models Contributions submitted to the workshop will be peer-reviewed and selected according to their quality and suitability for the workshop scope and discussion potential. As we address an international audience, English will be the workshop language.

Call for papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems
by Vincenzo De Florio 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Dear Sirs, dear Madams, please find attached the new description, mission, and call for papers of IJARAS, the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems, established in 2010 and about to issue its fourth yearly volume. For any questions about IJARAS and its Advanced Book Series please contact me through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio Description The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) examines systems and organizations characterized by the following two properties: the ability to self-adapt to the characteristics of rapidly changing and turbulent environments by adopting complex individual and social strategies and the ability to control their changes to prevent the invalidation of their original mission statements. The central focus of IJARAS is on modeling, simulating, designing, developing, maintaining, evaluating, and benchmarking such “entelechial systems”. Perception, awareness, and the planning and execution of resilient adaptation behaviors in systems and organizations are central topics of the journal. Such systems range from individual and simple embedded systems with limited perception and predefined specialized behaviors to complex hybrid social organizations like cyber-physical societies or service-oriented communities, whose emerging behaviors are many and, in some cases, difficult to predict. IJARAS focuses on the full spectrum of these problems providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with awareness and insight on conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations on self-adaptive and/or self-resilient systems and organizations of any scale and nature. Mission Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. Topics Covered Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: - Adaptive data integrity - Adaptive fault-tolerance - Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system’s ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments - Architecture-based adaptation - Autonomic applications - Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics - Biologically inspired mechanisms to enact complex adaptation strategies - Collective strategies for adaptation and resilience, including cooperation, competition, co-opetition, co-innovation, and co-evolution - Complex adaptive-and-resilient systems and organizations - Context- and situation-awareness - Design-time/run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security - Dynamics of complex adaptive and resilient systems and organizations - Human aspects - Evolutionary approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems - Mechanisms to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic, and resilient systems - Methods to express resilience (e.g., resilience policies and contracts) - Perception and introspection capabilities - Personalization - Quality of experience - Recovery-oriented computing - Resilient adaptation behavior composition - Resilient adaptation planning - Resilience and adaptation in management science - Resilience engineering - Role of diversity in the emergence of survivability, innovability, value capture, etc. - Role of organizations on the emergence of adaptation and resilience: heterarchies, holarchies, fractal social organizations, etc. - Scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective provisions located at all system levels to achieve adaptability and dependability - Self-adaptive and self-resilient systems: models, design, development, maintenance, evaluation, and benchmarking issues - Software elasticity: techniques, tools, and approaches to absorb and tolerate the consequences of failures, attacks, and changes within and without system boundaries Submissions and enquiries: - To submit a paper please visit http://www.igi- global.com/authorseditors/titlesubmission/newproject.aspx or send your paper to vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. - For enquiries please contact the editor in chief through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. Advanced Book Series: - An Advances Book Series is now associated with IJARAS: Advances in Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (AARAS). All papers published in IJARAS will also appear (possibly extended) as chapters in the volumes in this series. The first volume of this series is available from March 2012 as "Technological Innovations in Adaptive and DependableSystems: Advancing Models and Concepts" and may be ordered from http://www.igi-global.com/book/technological-innovations-adaptive-dependabl…. A second volume, entitled "Innovations and Approaches for Resilient and Adaptive Systems," is available from September 2012 and may be ordered from http://www.igi-global.com/book/innovations-approaches-resilient-adaptive-sy… For enquiries please contact the editor in chief through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be.

Emulators represent a family of tools where real and emulated components interact at various levels and scales with external element. Where simulators aim at evaluating the performance and conformity of models, emulators aim at evaluating that of real components and execution environment. The potential of emulators have been acknowledged, notably as complementary approach to field-operational test, and as a validation and integration technique (or methodology) prior to deployment. Emulators have also recently been subject to an increasing interest from practitioners in various fields of research. Yet, emulation tools have experienced only little dedicated visibility from the community to breed inter-disciplinary collaborative research and exchange of ideas in the very specific and challenging methodologies and techniques required by emulator tools or available in major emulation platforms. The workshop therefore aims at providing an interaction environment between academic and industrial researchers along with practitioners in the emulation field. EMUTools proposes to address research challenges in the emulation methodologies, architecture, analysis, applicability, performance, practice and platforms. This event also aims as building a bridge between the simulation and emulation communities to foster collaborative research to address common challenges in the complementary fields of emulation and simulation. We invite submissions of original high quality work in the area of emulation methodology, techniques, tools and applications. We would especially like to emphasize EMUTools' "Student Demo Contest". This year, we are challenging undergraduate and graduate students to show us their latest, coolest, chair-rocking and mind-blowing innovation in an operational demonstration. Go beyond the theoretical limitations and shed off the numerous assumptions about emulation techniques and applications, and present an operational prototype that has the potential to revolutionize the role of emulation tools. EMUTools general area includes but is not limited to: - Emulation methodology: architecture, distributed systems, load-balancing, multi-processor, scalability, cloud, emulation-as-a-service. - Emulation Techniques: multi-granularity, co-emulation/simulation, application, system, protocol or channel emulation. - Emulation Tools: framework, software, platforms, front-end/back-end, and interactions between different simulation and emulation tools. EMUTools invites submissions in all application areas of emulation methodology, tools and techniques. Specific topics include (but are not limited to): - Wireless technologies and access networks (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) - Backbone and core network (LTE, LTE-A, Internet) - Peer-2-Peer and overlay networks - Cloud systems and networks - Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems - Infrastructure systems (transportation, smart grid) - Intelligent transportation systems - Cyber-physical systems - E-Health - Sensors and M2M networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------- We invite the following types of submission: - Full papers up to 10 pages - Short papers up to 6 pages for work-in-progress aspects - Poster and Demo abstracts of 3 pages for demostrations and emerging concepts of emulation platforms.

-------- 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.

-------- 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.

Fwd: [Tccc] Wireless Networks Intrusion - JCSS Special Issue - 1 month remaining for submission

-------- 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.

Aggregating sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures to form wireless sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the main researchers working on different aspects of sensor networking for supporting pervasive computing environments. This is a very challenging task, as it involves several technological issues (sensor architectures, efficient networking protocol design, power management, security and dependability, etc.), as well as the socio-economic aspects related to the introduction of such novel paradigms and their benefits for the community. The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from the industry and academia. Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks for pervasive computing are solicited. We particularly welcome submissions that present implementation and deployment results. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems for Sensor Networks - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Topology control - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Time synchronization - Location management - Sensor networks with mobile elements - Cross-layer architectures - Intelligent sensor nodes - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Maximum length: 6 pages. Papers must be prepared using the template available at the following page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting/ All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2013 workshops proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to PerCom 2013 (there is no workshop-only registration) and attend the workshop to present the paper.
