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. 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).

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.

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. The topics suggested can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, designs, implementations, running experiments or applications.

-------- 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 --------… [View More]----------------- 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.

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/.

This global aging problem demands an increased focus on preparing pervasive healthcare systems and applications deployed around users and capable of remotely caring for them and improving their health and well-being anywhere anytime. These systems and applications require a sophisticated integration of microcircuit, medical sensing, and wireless and mobile technologies. They largely benefit users by decreasing the dependability on special caregivers and eventually reducing healthcare expenses through a more efficient use of healthcare resources and an earlier detection of life-threatening emergency situations. However, the realization of pervasive healthcare sets some additional critical requirements, e.g. realtimeness and fault-tolerance, and reliability, security and efficiency challenges compared with traditional hospital-based systems. Exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies as well as Networking and Sensors Technologies will enable cost-effective and efficient healthcare delivery, capable to deal with physical and logical mobility of patients and devices. The focus of this call is on theory and applications of Wireless Technologies towards the definition of the Next Generation Pervasive Healthcare. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited. Possible topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to the following: * Wireless body area networks for remote healthcare monitoring * Energy efficient sensing and communication for pervasive healthcare * Reliable and fault-tolerant communications in pervasive healthcare * Network protocols design and analysis for pervasive healthcare * Data management and resource sharing for pervasive healthcare * Mobile, social, context-aware computing for pervasive healthcare * Integration of different wireless technologies for pervasive healthcare * Remote diagnosis and patient management for pervasive healthcare * Distributed multimedia services for pervasive healthcare * Emergency detection and response for pervasive healthcare * Trust, security, privacy, and QoS provisioning for pervasive healthcare * System architectures, applications & prototypes for pervasive healthcare DATES: Submission deadline: Sep. 15th, 2012 First round of review: Dec. 15th, 2012 Revision deadline: Feb. 15th , 2013 Author notification: Mar. 15th, 2013 Publication date: 2013 GUEST EDITORS: Giancarlo Fortino, Univ.

Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2012 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. Overview ======== Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2012) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. WMCNT 2012 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and industry. Workshop Topics =============== Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: * QoS and Resource Allocation in Wireless/Mobile Networks * Radio Resource Management * Resource Allocation and Game Theory * Mobility Management and Billing Technologies in Wireless Networks * Mobile/Wireless Networks Modeling and Simulation * Heterogeneous Wireless Networks * Wired-Wireless Integration * End-to-End QoS * Protocols and Architecture for Wireless/ Mobile Networks * Security, Scalability, Reliability and Robustness in Wireless/Mobile Networks * Physical Security * Transport Layer Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks * Cross-layer Issues * Wireless Access Techniques * Wireless Propagation and Channel Modeling * Wireless Communication Networks and Systems * Wireless System Services and Applications * Wireless / Mobile Internet * 2G - 3G - 4G Migration, Convergence and Interworking * WiFi, WiMAX, 3GPP LTE * OFDM and OFDMA Systems * Wireless LAN/PAN/BAN * Wireless Mesh Networks * Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks * Cognitive Radio Networks * Sensor Networks Technologies and Protocols * Mobile Social Networks * 3G, 4G, and beyond System * Spectrum Sensing and Signal Parameters Estimation * Experimental Systems and Field Trials * Planning and Standardization * Systems Interoperability * Reliable Broadcast/Multicast Wireless Technologies for Multimedia Applications * Performance Evaluation of New Wireless Standards for High-Quality Entertainment Environments Proceedings =========== Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and wireless communications.
