-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Network Science (Impact factor: 3.413) -- DEADLINE EXTENSION Datum: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 21:41:54 -0400 Von: Prithwish Basu <prithwish.basu(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =========================== Call for Papers: IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Network Science =========================== Over the past several years there has been increasing interest in studying the commonalities among multiple networks such as logistical networks, biological networks, financial and economic networks, transportation networks, cognitive networks, social networks, information networks and communications networks. Several possible cross-network commonalities have been identified and there’s an emerging line of research that seeks a theoretical underpinning to these commonalities. Collectively these efforts are known as “network science”. This JSAC issue seeks to highlight advances in network science. Topics of interest for this issue include: * Insights from other types of networks that can be applied to communications problems (e.g. applying concepts from biological networks to communications networks); * Aggregate performance of combined networks (e.g. rather than modeling a social network and communications network separately, modeling them as one combined network); * Transmission of information through combined networks (including contagion or cascade effects); * Insights into the strengths and limitations of multi-network studies as applied to communications networks; * Communications network design inspired by network science principles More broadly, the issue welcomes any submission that is clearly applicable to communications networks and incorporates insights from non-communications networks. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to: http://edas.info/12217. IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript submission: 15 August 2012 [** EXTENDED DEADLINE (FINAL) **] Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012* Final manuscript due: 1 February 2013 Publication: Q2 2013 *The editorial team hopes to make decisions somewhat earlier to permit some papers to get a second round of reviewing before final submission. The Guest Editors for this issue are: Craig Partridge (Raytheon BBN Technologies) Ananthram Swami (Army Research Lab) Tom La Porta (Penn State University) Richard Gibbens (University of Cambridge, UK) Ching-Yung Lin (IBM) Eiko Yoneki (University of Cambridge, UK) Prithwish Basu (Raytheon BBN Technologies) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] M2M SI in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials (Deadline: 1 Oct 2012) Datum: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 19:50:14 -0700 (PDT) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers : IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials Special Issue on “Machine-to-Machine Technologies & Architectures” An unprecedented communication paradigm facilitating the connection between a prior unseen number of devices is currently gripping both industrial as well as academic communities. Referred to as machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, it is essentially composed of three key ingredients: 1) a wireless end-device, 2) an infrastructure-based or infrastructure-less wireless carrier network, and 3) the back-end server network. M2M systems bear very specific and unparalleled challenges in both research and development. Prime design drivers here are the need for virtually zero-outage, immediate-response and high-efficiency to support reliable, green, long-living and delay-constrained M2M applications. With no clear winner established so far, two orthogonal approaches have thus commenced to contend for the M2M market, i.e. 1) cellular solutions which rely on wide coverage (GSM, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, etc.); and 2) purely embedded short-range solutions relying on cheap deployments (low-power Wi-Fi, ultralow-power Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.). The aim of this special issue on machine-to-machine is to collect from industrial and academic players tutorials and surveys related to latest M2M technologies and architectures. Contributions on major developments and updates on M2M systems will be considered. Of great interest are currently being standardized, already standardized but also promising M2M technologies and architectures. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: • data centric approaches (M2M data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) • protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) • technology centric approaches (cellular M2M technologies, capillary M2M technologies, etc.) • architecture centric approaches (ETSI M2M, 3GPP MTC, WiMAX approaches, etc.) • inter-system and heterogeneous approaches (M2M coexistence with other technologies, etc.) • key functionalities (security, synchronization, virtualization, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of M2M and explicitly consider their constraints in terms of large number of nodes, short messages, resource constraints, etc. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-TTS guidelines (http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/surveys/authors.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee) according to the timetable below.

However, the limited computing and information/energy storage capabilities of mobile devices are hampering their abilities to support increasingly sophisticated applications demanded by users. The emerging cloud computing technology offers a natural solution to extend the limited capabilities of mobile devices. The resulting new paradigm of mobile cloud computing is being embraced by researchers and practitioners as an exciting new way to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and mobile platforms, which has the potential for profound impacts on the business environment and people's daily life. Empowered by mobile cloud computing, previously infeasible mobile applications are finding their ways into mobile devices. These emerging applications range from mobile storage and synchronization, fast content delivery, audio/video streaming, to interactive rich media services. Nevertheless, the implementation and wide deployment of these applications are complicated by various technical challenges across different layers in wireless networks. For example, there is a need to better understand the gaps between the quality of service (QoS) requirements of cloud-based applications and the variable performance of wireless networks due to the dynamic channel environments, and to develop novel solutions to overcome these gaps. Moreover, the design and operations of mobile cloud computing should also be sensitive to the limited energy supply in the mobile devices and system-wide energy conservation in general. As a result, advanced cognitive and adaptive techniques are highly deman ded for mobile cloud computing. Moreover, new perspectives can be taken by both academic researchers and practitioners to demystify the technical challenges and propose ground-breaking solutions. Scope of Contributions This special issue aims to explore recent advances and disseminate state-of-the-art research on designing, building, and deploying novel services and technologies to enable Mobile Cloud Computing. Original, unpublished contributions and survey/tutorial type articles will be considered for the special issue. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to: Multi-technology and multi-device access to mobile cloud computing Cognitive and ubiqutous access control for mobile cloud computing Access and communication schemes for cloud computing in mobile environment Flexible architecture of mobile technologies for supporting cloud computing Cloud computing to enable mobile rich media Cloud-based mobile audio/video streaming techniques Cloud-assisted 3D/multiview rending for mobile devices Cloud-based real-time interactive multimedia service for mobile users Performance evaluation of rich media service supported by mobile cloud computing Quality of Experience (QoE) studies and improvements for mobile cloud computing Green Mobile Cloud Computing Dynamic allocation alogrithms of computing load and networking load for mobile devices Energy-efficient multimedia service in mobile cloud computing Energy consumption measurement and profiling of mobile devices for cloud computing Power efficiency in datacenter management for mobile cloud applications Next-generation Mobile Cloud Computing Services and Applications New applications for cloud-supported mobile online gaming and other entertainments.

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 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. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non- traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2013 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue "Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting" in IJSNET Datum: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 20:26:29 +0800 Von: Lei Shu <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <commsoft(a)IEEE.ORG> Call for Paper International Journal of Sensor Networks (IF: 1.386) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting Overview Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are normally battery powered with limited energy supply. Years of effort had been given by researchers and engineers to maximize the lifetime of WSNs in almost all the aspects, e.g., routing, topology control, deployment, data aggregation, clustering, and sleep scheduling. However, recently advanced technical developments have allowed sensor nodes to harvest environmental energy from natural sources, e.g., wind, water flow, ocean currents, and solar, which enable WSNs to have the rechargeable energy supply. With multiple energy sources, the overall efficiency, reliability and sustainability are enhanced in any WSN application system. This emerging technical development gives sensor nodes a totally different energy model compared to traditional battery powered sensor nodes, which fundamentally changed the assumption for many existing lifetime optimization schemes. We should look back almost all traditional challenging issues in WSNs to cope with this new changing. New research issues, e.g., power management with multiple energy sources, should also be considered. This special issue aims at seeking new approaches, methods, and schemes for solving both traditional and new challenging issues in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other journal.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP:: ACM CoNEXT-2012 Workshop on Capacity Sharing -- deadline extension

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP:: ACM CoNEXT-2012 Workshop on Capacity Sharing -- deadline extension Datum: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 10:25:17 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop ------------------------- co-located with CoNEXT 2012, December 10, 2012, Nice, France. Internet data traffic continues to grow rapidly. The challenge that operators face, especially in the mobile Internet, is to support more subscribers with higher bandwidth demands. Therefore, operators need to seek for new technologies to efficiently utilize the available network resources, in particular, this concerns resource allocation and flow management. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. The higher rate of optical technology in access networks introduces the potential for capacity sharing problems to move closer to the core, while passive optical networks move sharing problems closer to the end-user (more like cable and radio access networks). Data centers typically employ yet another type of network with different characteristics -- and different tools for capacity sharing. Addressing this topic correctly is not trivial as there are different interests to consider: operators naturally want to be able exercise control on how the network is used, avoid service disruptions and account for network usage. Users are interested to use different applications and expect a certain level of service quality, consistent experience etc. Many applications today are provided by so-called over-the-top (OTT) providers -- in conjunction with web-services, smart-phone applications etc. These applications and the corresponding platforms are important drivers for innovation and sources of revenue -- although there is controversy over whether enough revenue is directed into capacity growth. Still, application providers are interested in their application working with sufficient quality. In addition, there is regulation that can impose additional requirements in some markets, such as availability requirements, network neutrality etc. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of transport protocols, system designers of fixed and mobile access networks, and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Capacity sharing in data centers for Cloud Computing * The interaction between capacity sharing mechanisms at different layers * Leveraging Software-Defined Networking for Capacity Sharing * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Related standardization activities and projects Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in 10pt, double column ACM SIGCOMM format. Please see the workshop webpage for further submission guidelines: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2012/Workshops/CSWS/ Important Dates ---------------- Abstract submission deadline: Extended to July 20, 2012 Paper submission deadline: Extended to August 03, 2012 Acceptance notification: September 20, 2012 Camera-ready paper: October 25, 2012 Workshop date: December 10, 2012 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Bob Briscoe, BT Research & Technology, UK Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" Datum: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:56:26 -0400 Von: Marc St-Hilaire <marc.st-hilaire(a)polymtl.ca> 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/.
