-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI on Virtual MIMO Datum: Tue, 08 May 2012 16:48:04 +0800 Von: Zhou Yi Qing <yqzhou(a)eee.hku.hk> Organisation: EEE, HKU, HK An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Virtual MIMO Multiple antenna (also known as MIMO: multiple input and multiple output) has been widely accepted as a promising scheme to improve the spectrum efficiency of mobile communication systems. MIMO is supported by various international standards such as long term evolution (LTE), WiMAX and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced. Due to the limited size of hand-held mobile stations (MSs), however, no more than two antennas can usually be fit per MS. As a result, implementing conventional MIMO with MSs in practice becomes challenging. On the other hand, multiple single-antenna MSs can be grouped to create a virtual MIMO (VMIMO) system. The system performance can be greatly enhanced by VMIMO because the size of the MIMO channel increases significantly, resulting in more degrees of freedom and improved spatial diversity gain. Moreover, interesting research areas and various challenges arise in VMIMO systems to solve problems that do not appear in MIMO systems. For example, given a large number of MSs and limited processing capability of base stations, a proper subset of the MSs must be chosen to form the VMIMO system; this is also known as user grouping. One of the considerations when carrying out user grouping is fairness. Moreover, in existing cellular systems, information exchange between MSs is difficult. To manage spatial interference at each MS, powerful precoding techniques are needed at base stations, which are crucial to the performance of VMIMO. On the other hand, considering wireless ad-hoc networks and future cellular systems, collaboration among MSs could be possible. As such, it is also interesting to investigate VMIMO with cooperating terminals and security issues arising as a consequence of cooperation. Therefore, VMIMO is a pressing research topic that has a wide range of applications in wireless communication systems, including both cellular and wireless ad hoc networks. It is timely and important to develop enabling techniques for VMIMO. The goal of this issue is to bring together the most updated research contributions in this area and contribute in identifying issues that need to be addressed when analyzing and designing VMIMO systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Capacity analysis of VMIMO * User grouping in VMIMO * Precoding schemes for VMIMO * Pilot signal design for VMIMO * Distributed Coding and Modulation for VMIMO * Signal detection in VMIMO with and without user collaboration * Feedback scheme design in VMIMO * Impact of limited feedback in VMIMO * Impact of limited backhaul in VMIMO * Multiple-terminal synchronization in VMIMO * MAC protocol design for VMIMO * Fairness in VMIMO * Self-optimization and distributed implementation of VMIMO * Security issues of VMIMO Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts following 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://www.edas.info. The timetable is as follows: Manuscript Submission Due: Oct. 1, 2012 First Reviews Due: Feb. 1, 2013 Second Reviews Due and Acceptance Notification: Apr. 1, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: Jun. 1, 2013 Publication: Fourth quarter 2013 Guest Editors: Prof. Yiqing Zhou, zhouyiqing(a)ict.ac.cn, China Prof. Fumiyuki Adachi, adachi(a)ecei.tohoku.ac.jp, Japan Dr. Kai-Kit Wong, k.wong(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk, United Kingdom Prof. Xiang-Gen Xia, xxia(a)ee.udel.edu, USA Prof. Dimitris Toumpakaris, dtouba(a)upatras.gr, Greece Prof. Heidi Steendam, Heidi.Steendam(a)telin.ugent.be, Belgium Prof. Wei-Ping Zhu, weiping(a)ece.condordia.ca, Canada Prof. Lie-Liang Yang, lly(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk, United Kingdom _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality of Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging multimedia services over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g. IPTV/HDTV/3DTV, Tablet video call, 3D smartphone). As of today though we do not know how to manage and control QoE in a diverse heterogeneous environment. The variables that affect QoE are just too many and span several disciplinary areas, including multiple technologies, but also psychology and sociology factors. Despite the efforts devoted to QoE studies, managing and controlling user QoE is still an open issue. Topics of interest The Second Annual Workshop of IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee (MMTC) focusing onQuality of Experience for Multimedia Communications Workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry, to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * QoE relation and mapping to QoS * KPI and KQI for the QoE definition * QoE models, their applications and use cases * QoE inference from user behavior * QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, online versus offline) * QoE for new wireless multimedia applications * QoE-based routing and resource management * QoE-aware cross-layer design * QoE-based optimization in heterogeneous environments * QoE Metrics for various media applications * QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies * Standardization activities for QoE Submission Procedure Submitted papers must represent original material which is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published.

Extensions of selected papers in this workshop will be published in the special issues of the following SCI journals: Elsevier Future Generation Computer System(SCI I.F./2.365) Information Systems Frontiers(Springer, SCI I.F./1.596) Description Power is becoming a critical resource to not only mobile, wireless, and battery-powered devices, but also large-scale server systems and data centers. Lower power consumption can significantly extend the usage time of battery-powered devices or reduce heat-related malfunctions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise server systems and data centers. However, existing solutions for power aware computing mostly focus on the power reduction of the targeted computing systems at the sacrifice of QoS (Quality of Service) performance. Due to the high-density of service consolidation and development of new applications and the increasing number of users with heterogeneous requests, providing users with QoS guarantees while executing applications and saving power consumption has become a crucial problem that needs to be addressed for various computing systems. Moreover, with active deployment of multi-core and many-core architecture, virtualization and the emerging cloud comp! uting infrastructure, power and QoS constraints raise more challenges and have negative impacts on system performance. Hence, various aspects of power and QoS aware related solutions, such as algorithms design, performance evaluation and analysis, and prototypical implementation are required to make the computing system more power efficient with little loss of QoS performance. This workshop focuses on the challenges imposed by power and QoS constraints on computing systems, and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. 2012 International Workshop on Power and QoS Aware Computing (PQoSCom2012) is a forum for professionals involved in energy efficiency and QoS constraints in parallel and distributed computing systems and data center operations and management. The goal of this workshop is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of power aware and QoS constrained computing and bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. We believe that power and QoS aware computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, PQoSCom 2012 will provide a forum for both academics and industry practitioners to share their ideas and experiences, discuss challenges and recent advances, introduce developments and tools, identify open issues, present applications and enhancements for power and QoS aware computi! ng systems and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging trends in this important area. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications. We welcome various different kinds of papers that could formalize, simplify and optimize all the aspects of existing large scale computing systems and applications in science, engineering and business. We particularly encourage the submission of position papers that describe novel research directions and work that is in its formative stages, and papers about practical experiences and lessons learned from production systems. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports, work-in-progress and vision papers with different criteria for each category that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of power and QoS aware computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications are also solicited. List of topics Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Novel Power-aware Architectures for Various Kind of Computing Systems Power and QoS Optimization Power and QoS Tradeoff Modeling and Simulation Power and QoS Performance Evaluation Power and QoS Aware Scheduling Power and QoS Aware Load Balancing QoS Specification, Formulation, Quantification and Verification Instrumentation, Profiling, and Measuring of Power Consumption Power and QoS awareness and Management at All Levels Virtualization Multi/Many Core Grid/Cluster/Cloud/Mobile/ Embedded Computing Power-aware Real Time Systems Power Reduction Algorithms & Applications Survey/Reviews of Power and QoS Challenges of Modern Computing Systems Power Efficiency and Thermal Management in Data Centers Power and QoS Aware Storage and File Systems Fault Tolerance, Reliability, and Availability Green Data Intensive Computing Performance Engineering, Benchmark Design, and Run-time Power-QoS management Important dates Paper Submission: May/20/2012 Notification of Acceptance: Jun/15/2012 Final Version of the Paper: Jul/7/2012 Submission Instructions Please submit full papers in PDF or doc format via the submission system.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: ACM MiSeNet 2012 - In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Datum: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:03:14 -0400 (EDT) Von: Habib M. Ammari <hammari(a)umd.umich.edu> Antwort an: hammari(a)umd.umich.edu An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu 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.

Dear Colleagues, this is to warmly invite you to consider the following calls for papers: - ACM UBICOMP 2012 Workshop CASEMANS 2012.- Hindawi Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue on Self-* Parallel and Distributed Systems We would like to highlight how the workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedings will be madeavailable online at the ACM Digital Library. Kind regards,Waltenegus, Juha, and Vincenzo. ACM UBICOMP/CASEMANS 2012 - Call for papers Cloud computing, autonomic computing, pervasive computing, and mobile computing tend to be converging to maximize the combinedbenefits of these paradigms. A large number of applications can takeadvantage of this, including healthcare, traffic control, andsocial network applications. However, these applications are complexby nature and introduce several challenges of their own, for example,reliable sensing, accurate context recognition, scalability, security,dealing with previously unforeseen side-effects of adaptations, and so on. These challenges can be meaningfully addressed whenresearchers of diverse background come together to provide differentviews of the same problems and to help each other understandthe complex relationships between contending ideas. The Casemans 2012 workshop aims to open a platform for researchersof ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, and similar fieldsto address these issues. This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2011 by introducing full and short paper sessions. Full papers will demonstrate solid research results (4-6 ACM pages) while short papers (typically 2 ACM Pages) demonstrate visionary, critical and even controversial ideas and work-in-progressthat can encourage discussion and further research. Scope The scope of the workshop can be described by the following terms:- Context-awareness in cloud computing- Context-awareness in energy-efficient computing- Context-awareness in smart spaces- context-awareness in wireless sensor networks- Context-awareness in social networking- Context-awareness in robotics- Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution- Context-based multimodal interaction Information for Authors The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedingswill be made available online at the ACM Digital Library. Manuscriptsshould be prepared according to the ACM Proceedings format. Pleasevisit the ACM template website (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All paper submissions will be handled electronically by Easychair(https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=casemans2012).N… that submission is a two-stage process --- authors need to registertheir paper first and then submit the final manuscript.

Important Dates Paper submission -- June 1Notification -- June 30Camera ready -- July 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue onSelf-* Parallel and Distributed Systems Call for papers (PDF: http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307.pdf,HTML: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307/cfp/) Autonomic computing has been identified as a promising solution to cope with the overwhelming complexity in modern and next-generation computer systems. In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems- Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems- Software design and implementation for energy-awareness- Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing- Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals- Evolvability aspects- Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems- Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems- Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties- Formal validation and verification- Software testing- Parallel and distributed debugging- Application and industrial case studies- Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: WiNTECH 2012 Workshop Datum: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:39:38 -0400 Von: Rozner, Eric <erozner(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] ---- CALL FOR PAPERS ---- WiNTECH 2012 The Seventh ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and Characterization In conjunction with MobiCom 2012 In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such a diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. The importance of testbed-based evaluation of wireless network protocols/applications as well as characterization of real-world aspects using traces from operational networks is gaining wider recognition in the mobile and wireless networking research community. This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experiment! al wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee. Apart from regular paper presentations, the workshop program will include an interactive session with demos and posters.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:23:04 -0600 Von: Mea Wang <meawang(a)ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013 Advances in 3G, WiFi, and WiMax technologies have made mobile gadgets an increasingly popular means of Internet access. Deployment of 4G networks and releases of new smart phones and tablets will undoubtedly raise the demand for better signal coverage, faster transmission, and seamless adaptation. One emerging research direction is wireless access virtualization, in which a group of access points collaboratively provide the illusion of a single wide-coverage access point to simplify connection management on the client side. While enjoying the benefits of accessing information at any time from anywhere, data transmitted over the wireless medium are more susceptible to eavesdropping and packet sniffing. This raises the concerns for data authentication and privacy issues. These technical challenges are aggravated by the proliferation of various cloud services, social networking platforms, and smart connected vehicles. This symposium is devoted to covering original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel architectures, platforms, protocols, and applications in mobile computing and vehicle communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Novel applications, and services for mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Architectures, platforms, and test beds of mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Performance characterization of mobile computing platforms ● User interfaces and systems design for mobile applications ● Mobile and/or vehicle ad hoc networks and sensor networks ● Wireless channel and media access control protocols ● Wireless access virtualization ● Resource management for heterogeneous access networks ● Service integration and inter-networking ● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues ● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability issues ● Novel mobility schemes and analysis of existing solutions ● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 ● Cloud-assisted mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications ● Vehicular networking and communications for intelligent transportation system Submission Guidelines Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/author.htm Paper submission link for this symposium can be found at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/cfp.htm Important Dates Submission Deadline: July 5, 2012 Author Notification: Sept 20, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: Oct 20, 2012 Symposium Co-chairs Mea Wang, University of Calgary, Canada (meawang(a)ucalgary.ca) Xiaoqing Zhu, Cisco Systems Inc., USA (zhuxq(a)alumni.stanford.edu) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
