Datum: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 22:27:17 +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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP for the 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting, Measurement and Evaluation for Wireless, Communications (EHMEWC) Datum: Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:58:38 +0200 Von: Christian Haas <haas(a)tm.uka.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ========================================================================== CFP for the 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting, Measurement and Evaluation for Wireless Communications (EHMEWC), to be held in conjunction with IEEE ICC'13 Budapest, Hungary, June 9th to 13th, 2013 URL: http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~seyedi/EHMEWC.html ========================================================================== Abstract Registration: Jan 4th 2013 Paper Submission: Jan 11th 2013 Author Notification: Feb 22nd 2013 Camera Ready Paper: Mar 8th 2013 ========================================================================== Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communicating nodes only use the energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication. Energy efficiency (EE) is a topic of very active research in wireless communications and networking. However, realistic evaluations in real-world deployments are challenging and time consuming. Often, different simplifying assumptions are made, which makes the results (a) applicable only in specific scenarios, and (b) hard to compare across literature. There is thus a need to come up with standardized tools for benchmarking, and to develop absolute yardsticks against which all schemes that strive to improve the EE of communications can be evaluated and compared. With the recent advances in simulator tools as well as an increasing number of testbeds, the next step in evaluating energy efficiency is now practicable: realistic evaluations of energy efficiency for wireless systems, wireless sensor networks and mobile systems. This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC, realistic evaluations of the EE and energy consumption of architectures and protocols, and novel applications in wireless communications and networks. It will create a forum for researchers to share results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC and EE evaluations. Topics include (but are not limited to): * Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Novel applications of EHC * Realistic design and evaluation of EE protocols in wireless networks * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Energy measurement methodologies and concepts * Experiences and lessons learned from real-world EE evaluations Workshop Chairs & Organizers ------------------ Alireza Seyedi (General Chair) University of Central Florida Torsten Braun University of Bern Mesut Güneş Freie Universität Berlin Christian Haas Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Chandra Murthy IISc Bangalore Joachim Wilke Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Martina Zitterbart Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Michele Zorzi University of Padova & UCSD _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerMoby 2013 CFP Datum: Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:06:24 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: October 30, 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 -- ====================================================== Alessio Vecchio Pervasive Computing & Networking Lab.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP - 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVEC 2013) Datum: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:12:28 +0000 Von: Schünemann, Björn <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [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/ 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. 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 Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP IJDSN Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" Datum: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:47:01 +0200 Von: Nadjib Achir <nadjib.achir(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers for "International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks" Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" The area of monitoring and control of physical environments has recently become a hot spot in the technology landscape. Currently, a number of companies are offering a plethora of sensing devices with different phenomena's monitoring capabilities. These devices, a.k.a. sensors, can be tiny with limited energy and processing capabilities; they can be stand alone or integrated in various and they can be deployed to form a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in support to a variety of military, civil, and environmental applications. In a WSN, the sensors are also capable to communicate with each other and in a multihop way propagate sensing information to data sinks and operations centers. In the last few years, wireless sensor networking has been a very active research area in both academia and the industry with a wide variety of applications. While the set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, researches have mainly focused on fundamental networking challenges, which include: routing protocols and energy minimization. However, the performances of the proposed solutions strongly depend on the way sensors were positioned in the area. To that end, the goal of this special issue is to report on recent advances in wireless sensor network planning and deployment. Its scope is open for both theoretical and practical contributions related to WSN architecture, planning, deployments, and applications. Authors are solicited to contribute to this special issue by submitting original articles that illustrate research results, projects, and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in this field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - WSN deployment - WSN planning (MAC protocols, scheduling, and routing) - Clustering in WSNs - Large-scale WSN deployment - WSN coverage - Query processing for data streams - Deployment and energy-efficient communication - Self-organization and network reconfiguration - Energy harvesting in WSNs - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSNs - Configuration, robustness, reliability, and failure tolerance - Security, privacy, and trust - Planning and deployment of multimedia sensor networks - Planning and deployment of underwater sensor networks - Planning and deployment of body area sensor networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes of WSN deployment - Applications: health, environment, emergency, tracking, and so forth - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSN Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/guidelines/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - JSAC Smart Grid Series - Submission Deadline Extension to October 8, 2012 Datum: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:02:05 -0400 Von: Nada Golmie <nada.golmie(a)nist.gov> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers : IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications- Special series on Smart Grid Communications "Smart Grid" refers to the modernization of electric grid to allow for more efficient generation, transmission, distribution, and usage of energy. This is becoming necessary in order to transition to a more sustainable energy generation and consumption and reduce its adverse effects on the environment. While more advances in areas like renewable energies and network control are necessary, advances in communication technologies, data fusion and mining, as well as scheduling and optimization are also critical in order to achieve this vision. It is anticipated that the same communication technologies that have revolutionized our way of life in the past decades, ranging from sensor networks, mobile Internet, cloud computing, smart phones and many others, will have direct applicability to Smart Grid. Many off-the-shelf and commercial communication technologies may be ready for deployment in the Smart Grid today. Examples include the use of wireless communications to collect and exchange information about electric quality, consumption, pricing, etc. However, allowing greater flexibility in sharing information in a secure and reliable fashion still poses a number of challenges. Furthermore, using off-the-shelves technologies may lead to inefficiencies, especially if energy management specific features are not utilized adequately in the data compression and the collection infrastructure. Questions that remain unanswered in the smart grid context, include, coverage, interference, spectrum sharing, architecture, network topology, access control and authentication, data representation, data fusion and many more. This series of IEEE JSAC is focused on identifying the numerous communication challenges posed by the various aspects and functionalities of the Smart Grid and exploring research avenues for addressing them. Original contributions that are unpublished and not currently under review by any other journal are solicited in relevant areas of Smart Grid communications including (but not limited) to the following: * Physical and MAC layer protocols for Smart Grid applications * Spectrum sharing, coexistence and interference mitigation in Smart Grid communications * Network control for the power grid * Smart Grid sensors data fusion and mining models * Communications to support demand-response, load and pricing management * Smart Grid cyber-physical network modeling and performance analysis * Measurement data from Smart Grid testbeds and field trials * Architecture and network topology for Smart Grid applications * Cyber and physical vulnerabilities and Smart Grid security Each submission should demonstrate clear applicability to Smart Grid communications. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the information for authors (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html).
