"Kravets, Robin Hillary" <rhk(a)ILLINOIS.EDU> schrieb: Thanks rhk [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for ACM CHANTS 2012 The 7th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2012 August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. After the success of the previous Workshop on Delay-tolerant Networking (WDTN-05) and the Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS'06), CHANTS'07, CHANTS'08, CHANTS'09, CHANTS'10 and CHANTS'11, this year CHANTS will take place jointly with ACM MobiCom 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos addressing the following topics: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Full paper submission guidelines All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages with 10 point font and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings. Important dates Full paper abstract registration deadline: May 27, 2012 Submission deadline: June 3, 2012 Authors notification: June 25, 2012 Camera-ready: July 2, 2012 Early conference registration deadline: July 2, 2012 Workshop date: August 22, 2012 Demo submission deadline: July 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: EWSDN 2012 Datum: Tue, 15 May 2012 18:30:07 +0200 Von: Stefano Salsano <stefano.salsano(a)uniroma2.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu European Workshop on Software Defined Networks (EWSDN-2012) http://ewsdn.eu The European Workshop on Software Defined Networks will be held on October 25-26, 2012 in Deutsche Telekom Campus, Darmstadt, Germany (15 minutes from Frankfurt Airport) *SDN* Software Defined Networking (SDN) is emerging as a promising architectural solution to support and foster innovation in telecommunication networks. Several switch/router vendors are “opening” their hardware, offering APIs to allow a “software defined” control of the networking operations. The vitality of the SDN approach is witnessed by the release of several SDN tools and development environments, most of which are open sourced. *OpenFlow* The OpenFlow specifications, now standardized by the Open Networking Foundation, can represent a key component in a SDN architecture, but the SDN scope and concept is much wider than the OpenFlow APIs. In particular there is the need of higher level SDN abstractions and higher level SDN APIs, as the ones that should be offered to applications (e.g. SDN “north-bound” interfaces). *European* What makes an SDN workshop “European”? Traditional strengths of European research and development have been in optical transmission and wireless, especially cellular networks. The workshop emphasizes aspects of Software Defined Networks that come up when extending SDN 'beyond Ethernet'. In this regard, “European” does not mean that we restrict to a geographic scope, we welcome contribution and participation from all over the world. *Motivation* One goal of the workshop is to bring together industry and academia on the topics of SDN, in particular the workshop will feature an “industry forum”, i.e. a session with presentations of key industrial players (manufacturers, telecom operators…). A special session will include presentation and discussion of the highest ranked proposals to the 2nd open call of the OFELIA project (http://www.fp7-ofelia.eu/open-calls/2nd-open-call/). *Contributions to the workshop* We are interested in both papers showing consolidated results and in position papers bringing up innovative ideas. We welcome contributions including, but not limited to, the following topics: - Optical extensions to OpenFlow, SDN - Wireless integration, characterization of wireless interfaces, flows, handover support - Evolved packet core, LTE support for OpenFlow - New controller architectures, Application Programmer's Interfaces, SDN “north-bound” interfaces - Higher level SDN abstractions, APIs, object models - New networking paradigms like Content or Information Centric Networks (CCN/ICN) and their relation with SDN - Carrier-grade SDN architectures and equipment - Network Virtualization techniques based on SDN - Practical experiments on OpenFlow / SDN based testbeds - Identification of use cases for SDN, SDN related business models - SDN frameworks and tools, SDN based equipment: controllers, switches, integrated development environment, testing and debugging environment *Workshop Proceedings* The EWSDN Workshop proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore. *Important dates* Deadline for Call for Papers (up to 6 pages, double column 10pt font): June 20th, 2012 Acceptance notification: July 31st, 2012 Camera ready: September 5th, 2012 *Paper submission* EWSDN submission will be managed using the EasyChair submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsdn12 *Workshop registration and hotel rooms* The registration cost for the two-day workshop is 200€, including electronic proceedings, one dinner, two lunches, coffee breaks. Hotel rooms at Deutsche Telekom Campus are available for workshop participants at the special rate of 68€ per nights. *Workshop Chair* Hagen Woesner, EICT, Berlin, Germany *Technical Program Committee Co-Chairs* Juergen Quittek, NEC, Heidelberg, Germany Stefano Salsano, Univ.

High user mobility and dynamic management policies that ensure end-to-end reliable and secure support of new services are key towards the adoption of the enabling technologies. In wireless networks, the medium alone creates additional challenges for efficiently providing QoS, due to its broadcast nature and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the proliferation of new services in the mobile market is driving the QoS requirements higher (in terms of performance indicators such as throughput, delay, jitter, error rate, network coverage etc). Thus, an important challenge in future wireless communications is how to design and run a cost efficient network in order to optimize the key performance indicators that will support the user requirements. Resource management and planning are sets of key mechanisms that enable the efficient and effective operation of wireless networks, aiming to minimize the impact of interference and maximize the overall network performance. For next generation networks, where multiple heterogeneous networks (both in terms of network elements and in term of access technologies) will co-exist in the same geographical area, these mechanisms will be of key importance not only for a single network operation but for the smooth network cooperation, the optimal use of wireless spectrum and the provision of high quality services to the users. Taking into account the requirements, applications, and users, the developed mechanisms should be optimized in terms of performance, scalability, robustness, flexibility and energy efficiency. The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers focusing on resource management and optimization within the context of heterogeneous wireless networking. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished works on the following research topics, but not limited to: · Access network architectures and protocols optimization towards next generation wireless networks · Resource management mechanisms for future heterogeneous networks · Network planning · Context and location awareness · Future wireless services and applications · Quality of service in future heterogeneous networks · Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access · Reliable and optimized spectrum sharing in next generation networks · Performance modeling of future networks · Scalability, robustness and resilience · Security, privacy and trust in next generation dynamic spectrum access networks · Cross-layer design and optimization · Co-existence issues of future heterogeneous networks · Heterogeneous network simulation models and techniques Organizing Committee Dr. Vangelis Angelakis Linkoping University, Sweden vangelis.angelakis(at)liu.se Dr. Ioannis Askoxylakis Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece asko(at)ics.forth.gr Dr. Elias Tragos Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece etragos(at)ics.forth.gr Dr. Di Yuan Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd, UK di.yuan(at)ranplan.co.uk Important dates Paper submission deadline: June 1st, 2012 Acceptance notification: July 10th, 2012 Camera-ready: August15th, 2012 Technical Program Committee members: Vangelis Angelakis, Linkoping University, Sweden – co-chair Ioannis Askoxylakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece – co-chair Kaan Bür - Lund University, Sweden Scott Fowler, Linkoping University, Sweden Alexandros Fragkiadakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece George Karetsos, Technological research Center of Thessalia, Greece Albena Mihovska, Aalborg University, Denmark Stefanos Papadakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece Nikolaos Petroulakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece Michal Pioro, EIT, Lund University, Sweden Vasilios Siris, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Elias Tragos, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece – co-chair Panagiotis Vlacheas, University of Piraeus, Greece Di Yuan, Ranplan, UK – co-chair Sherali Zeadally, University of the District of Columbia, USA _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.

Ammari <hammari(a)UMD.UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: hammari(a)umd.umich.edu An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG * The First ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented* * Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2012)* * In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Istanbul, Turkey, August 22-26, 2012* http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/MiSeNet_Workshop2012.html Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2012* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications *General Chair* - Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) *Program Chair** * - Habib M.

Call for Papers UWBAN-2012 (Ultra Wide Band for Body Area Networking-2012) Workshop Co-located with the 7th International Conference on Body Area Networks (BodyNets-2012) September 24-26, 2012 Oslo, Norway http://uwban.bodynets.org/2012/show/home Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is emerging as a sound technological solution for the newly emerging area of body area networking (BAN). Due to its very wide bandwidth, as well as low transmit power, UWB is a serious contender for a number of applications including remote monitoring of both vital signs (temperature, pulse oximetry, etc.) as well as other medically significant data, such as ECG and EMG. The wide bandwidth of UWB signals also makes high-resolution ranging and localization possible, particularly in indoor areas, thereby enabling indoor tracking solutions for disabled patients and children in hospitals. UWB also holds promise for medical implant applications, such as capsule endoscopy, and may even be an enabler of next-generation micro-robotic surgery applications. The first of these applications would benefit from the very high bandwidth of UWB signals in transmission of very high resolution images and video of human body organs, and the second would benefit from the high ranging and localization accuracy provided by UWB signaling. The primary goal of this workshop is to explore the state of the art in the development of UWB technology for body area networking, ranging from fundamental physical layer concepts, such as channel modeling and system architecture, to development of prototypes and clinical trials. The workshop solicits original unpublished contributions on the following areas: · UWB channel modeling for BAN applications. · UWB antenna design and performance for BANs. · Energy-efficient PHY and MAC layer designs for UWB-based BANs. · UWB-based BAN system architecture design and implementation. · UWB-based BAN performance and coexistence issues. · Thermal effects of UWB-based wearable and implantable sensors and SAR assessment. · Security and privacy issues for UWB-based BAN applications. · Performance analysis of UWB-based BAN platforms in clinical field trials.

Vielleicht gibt das ja dem einen oder anderen die Möglichkeit, einen Beitrag einzureichen. =========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS =========================================================== Smart Grid: Herausforderungen an Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik INFORMATK 2012 - Was bewegt uns in der Zukunft ? 42. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik 16.9. - 21.9.2012 TU Braunschweig www.informatik2012.de <http://www.informatik2012.de> =========================================================== MOTIVATION UND ZIELSETZUNG =========================================================== Die Energiewende mit dem zunehmenden Umstieg von den klassischen Energieträgern Kohle, Öl, Gas und Nuklearbrennstoff auf erneuerbare Energien wie Windkraft, Solarenergie, Wasserkraft, Biomasse und Wasserstoff mit z.T. stark volatiler Charakteristik stellt grundsätzlich neue Heraus- forderungen an Technik und Management von elektrischen Energienetzen, d.h. an eine intelligente Steuerung der Einspeisung, Verteilung und Nutzung elektrischer Energie einschließlich aller damit verbundenen betrieblichen, ökonomischen und rechtlichen Aspekte. Zur Gestaltung dieses sog. "Smart Grid" ist das interdisziplinäre Zusammenwirken von Energietechnik, Informationstechnik, Informatik, Betriebswirtschaft und Recht erforderlich. Die gegenwärtig vorherrschenden Energiequellen sind durch die Nutzung von fossilen und nuklearen Brennstoffen gekennzeichnet, welche nicht nachhaltig zur Verfügung stehen, zum "CO2-Footprint" klimaschädlich beitragen bzw. durch die ungelösten Aufgaben zur Entsorgung von langlebigen Abfallprodukten gesellschaftlich nicht mehr akzeptabel sind. Sie hatten den Vorteil, dass die Standorte der Erzeugung und des Verbrauchs ohne überlange Transportwege aneinander angepasst, eine stetige Grundlast bereitgestellt und Spitzenlasten durch Gas-, Öl- und Pumpspeicher- Kraftwerke bedarfsgerecht abgedeckt werden konnten. Dem gegenüber erfordern die zeitlich stark schwankend zur Verfügung stehenden Energieträger wie Sonne und Wind eine flexible Anpassung des Verbrauchs sowie Energiespeichertechniken, welche heutzutage technisch nur unbefriedigend und auch nicht im erforderlichen Umfang vorhanden sind. Hieraus resultieren die Anforderungen an die Energienetze der Zukunft, welche weit über die heute angewandten Verfahren hinausgehen und die Bereitstellung, den Transport und die Nutzung der Energie in einem intelligent gesteuerten Netz, dem sog. "Smart Grid", miteinander verbinden. Ziel des Workshops ist insbesondere die Diskussion von Querschnittsfragen zwischen der elektrischen Energietechnik, Steuerungs- und Regelungstechnik, Informationstechnik und Informatik, um Methoden, Konzepte und Erfahrungen für komplexe Systeme kooperativ nutzen zu können bzw. mit neuen Lösungen zur Innovation beizutragen. Der Workshop soll aus eingeladenen Expertenreferaten zu Schlüsselthemen und eingereichten Beiträgen gestaltet werden. =========================================================== THEMENBEREICHE =========================================================== o Monitoring, Datenerfassung und Online-Verarbeitung - Sensorik und Echtzeit-Messverfahren (räumlich, zeitlich, semantisch) - Zustandserfassung - Verbrauschserfassung ("Smart Metering") - Merkmal-Extraktion (Neuronale Netze, Modell-basiert,...) - Datenfusion und Datenaggregation - Daten-Repräsentation - Mess- und Steuerdaten-Bereitstellung (Broadcast, Publish-Subscribe,...) o Kommunikationsarchitekturen und -Protokolle - Modulations- und Codierverfahren (OFDM, LDLC,...) - Übertragungsverfahren (PLC, optisch, elektrisch, drahtlos) - Netzinfrastrukturen (Heimbereich, Unternehmensbereich, Anschlussbereich, Fernnetzbereich) - Echtzeit-Kommunikationsprotokolle - Schnittstellen und Standards (Home Gateway) o Steuerungs- und Regelungsverfahren - Fehlererkennung und -lokalisierung - Alarmerkennung (Expertensysteme, Fuzzy Control, Logische Netze,...) - Ausfallbehandlung, Ersatzschaltung, Resilience - Netzstabilitaet - Hierarchische, zentrale oder dezentrale Netzorganisation - Selbstorganisation - Fremdsteuerung oder regelbasierte Steuerung des Verbrauchs o Sicherheit und Datenschutz - Netzsicherheit und Datensicherheit - Verschlüsselungsverfahren und Schlüsselmanagement - Datenschutz und Nutzerschutz (Privacy) - Vertrauenswürdigkeit (Trust) - Angriffserkennung und -abwehr (Cyber Security) - Katastrophenschutz und -management o Analysen und Performance Evaluation - Messdaten- und Steuerdatenverkehre und ihre Modellierung - Analyse des Echtzeitverhaltens und der Echtzeitfähigkeit - Leistungsfähigkeit (Quality of Service, QoS) - Mathematische Modellierung und Simulation - Modell-gestützte Steuerungsverfahren - Zuverlässigkeitsanalysen - Optimierungsverfahren =========================================================== WICHTIGE TERMINE =========================================================== 28.

Guoqiang Mao <guoqiang.mao(a)GMAIL.COM> schrieb: _____________________________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section: Graph Theory and Its Application in Vehicular Networking _____________________________________________ The last two decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in telecommunications, particularly in the area of wireless communications. This development in telecommunications opens doors to many sophisticated complex systems, e.g. social networks, smart grids, vehicular networks and sensor networks, that previously were not feasible. Graph theory is among the most widely used tools for modeling and analyzing the many types of interactions, relations and dynamics in these systems. Many problems of practical interest can be represented by graphs. The use of graph theory in vehicular networks, or more broadly highly dynamic networks, is of particular interest. The complex interactions among vehicles, between vehicles and road-side infrastructure, combined with the high mobility of vehicles and fast changing topology, present some unique challenges in network modeling and performance analysis, network design, resource management and communication protocol design. This special section aims to provide recent advances in graph theory that are applicable to highly dynamic networks, particularly vehicular networks, identify challenges in the area and present possible solutions, and furthermore to unveil the significant potential of graph theory in the domain of vehicular networks. Topics of interest for this special section include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular network modeling and performance analysis; * Network architecture design; * Vehicular technologies for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure networking & services; * End-to-end service delivery architectures, algorithms, protocols and scalability; * Cooperative communications; * Quality of service; * Resource management; * Robust network and communication protocol design; * Interference characterization and management; * Localization techniques; * Road traffic management.

Sreenan <cjs(a)cs.ucc.ie> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS ECAI 2012 Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Telecommunications & Sensor Networks Montpellier (France), Aug 27th, 2012 http://www.cs.ucc.ie/waits2012 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP We live in a time of unprecedented change. Traffic on our telecommunication networks has grown exponentially in the last decade. Many of the services and applications that exist now were not even imagined a few years ago. Though we can extrapolate some trends and make educated guesses, we cannot predict exactly what lies ahead. Networks that are designed with change in mind will be more robust to disruption caused by growing demands and changing user patterns and yet-unimagined applications. The risks associated with investment in these kinds of networks will be lower as they will be more durable and scalable. Networks that are designed with change in mind will make effective use of resources (e.g. spectrum, bandwidth, power, processing capabilities, cooling capabilities etc.) and ensure a sustainable future. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and technologists from academia and industry to explore the applications of artificial intelligence to the most pertinent technical challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks. FORMAT Workshop participation will be by invitation only. If you would like to participate, submit either a full paper of no more than 6 pages (or 6,000 words); a position statement, short paper, or problem instance (at most 3 pages or 3,000 words); or a position statement (1 page). Short papers may address an important problem for further research or describe a practical problem or an interesting lesson learned. In addition, we solicit proposals for short demonstrations (at most 3 pages with demonstrations taking at most 15 minutes). All submissions should conform to ECAI’s formatting guidelines, to be available soon on the conference website. SCOPE We especially welcome papers that combine artificial intelligence and telecommunications and sensor networks. Topics of interest in this workshop related to artificial intelligence techniques applied to challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks include but are not limited to the following: o Constraint Optimisation o Metaheuristic Optimisation o Combinatorial Optimisation o Online Stochastic Optimisation o Optimal Stopping Theory for Online Decision-making o Multi-agent Systems o Distributed Optimisation o Configuration systems o Machine Learning and Data Mining o Parameterised Complexity and Graph Theory o Game Theory and Incentive Compatible Mechanism Design o Reasoning with Uncertainty o Knowledge-based Policy Management o Fault Detection and Diagnosis We are also interested in papers that present challenges in telecommunications and sensor networks to which artificial intelligence techniques can be of value, such as: o Network Planning and Optimisation o Network Reliability o Dynamic Wavelength Assignment o Autonomic Networks o Medium Access Control o Frequency Management o Heterogeneous Networks o Cognitive Radio o Cognitive Networks o Sensor Deployment o Dynamic Network Repair o Sensor Networks for Intelligent Environments o Green Telecommunications Networks Important Dates: Submission: May 28, 2012 Notification: June 28, 2012 Final version: July 22, 2012 Workshop: Aug 27, 2012 ORGANISERS Ken Brown Cork Constraint Computation Centre Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: k.brown(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~kb11 Barry O’Sullivan Cork Constraint Computation Centre Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: b.osullivan(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://osullivan.ucc.ie Cormac Sreenan Mobile and Internet Systems Laboratory Department of Computer Science, University College Cork Email: cjs(a)cs.ucc.ie Web: http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~cjs Program Committee Gianluca Bontempi, Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Luiz Da Silva, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Pierre Flener, Uppsala University, Sweden Anna Foerster, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzterland Justin Pearson, Uppsala University, Sweden Dirk Pesch, Cork institute of Technology, Ireland Helmut Simonis, University College Cork, Ireland <to be completed> This workshop is being run in association with the Science Foundation Ireland-funded CTVR centre - http://www.ctvr.ie _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
