Electronic security systems may help to provide better and faster security and safety for the general public. Application scenarios may include intrusion detection and monitoring of large crowds in order to provide guidance in case of unexpected events (e.g., a mass panic). However, current security systems used within the public infrastructure are typically expensive, not trivial to deploy, difficult to operate and maintain, prone to malfunction due to individual component failures, and generally lack citizen privacy-friendliness. The advent of novel, large-scale distributed security systems based on wireless, lightweight sensors may enhance security and safety in public spaces. SESP 2012 is an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and tools that enable the design of inexpensive, flexible, resilient, and privacy-friendly security systems for enhanced security and safety in public spaces. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and practical aspects of computer, networking and communications security. SESP will provide participants with fresh ideas, inspiring challenges, and novel approaches in the context of wireless sensor-based safety and security in public spaces. Solutions have not been fully analyzed in favor of identifying novel corners in the solution space.

Acting either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to the networking research community. The AOC 2012 workshop aims at serving as a meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the previous five editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and computing. Yet, AOC 2012 will have a primary interest in new directions of opportunistic communications, such as service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2012 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [ACM MobiCom-2012]:The MobiCom 2012 Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:25:32 +0100 Von: Bashir Yahya <bashir.yahya(a)prism.uvsq.fr> An: ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca, commsoft(a)IEEE.ORG, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Papers ---------- Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to layer two or above of the OSI protocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Testbed design and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks MobiCom 2012 will be a diverse conference, and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Challenges Papers ------------------- The conference also strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These Challenges Papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges Papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." Submission Instructions ------------------------- All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must - be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), - be in font size no smaller than 10 points, - have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches × 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and - fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches × 11 inches). All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript will be posted here shortly. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org. Best Paper Award ------------------ All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. Important Dates ---------------- Abstracts submission due: March 2, 2012 (8:00PM EST) Paper submissions due: March 9, 2012 (8:00PM EST) Notification of acceptance: June 6, 2012 Camera-ready version due: July 2, 2012 -- Bashir Yahya, PhD PRiSM Laboratory University of Versailles 45 Avenue des Etats-Unis 78035 Versailles, Cedex France _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Submit papers by 9th January 2012 to http://vtc2012workshops.trackchair.com/track/983 <http://www.mmsend2.com/link.cfm?r=661445230&sid=17073305&m=1701184&u=IEEE_V…> James Irvine VP Publications, IEEE VTS *3rd Green Wireless Communications and Networks Workshop (GreeNet)* Broadband wireless mobile communications data traffic is rapidly growing to provide data services for devices such as tablets, smartphones and laptops. However, for many operators, growth in traffic is not match by the same growth in revenue. There is an increasing awareness of the environmental impact of both wireless networks and the Internet in general. Many operators have thus made commitments to reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with their networks. The objective of this workshop is to build on the success of the first two Greenet workshops to discuss these issues in detail. One major area where advances may be made is in moving towards more energy efficient network deployments which employ a mix of network components, such as macro-cell base stations, relays, picocells and femtocells to provide coverage and support high traffic demands. A second important avenue of research relates to new technologies and algorithms that can be deployed within the radio of each device to reduce energy consumption. This workshop particularly encourages contributions with blue sky thinking on how future technologies can be substantially more energy efficient than current systems. We invite five page paper submissions not previously published and are not currently under review for publication from researchers and practitioners active in the field of Green Wireless Communications and Networks covering (but not limited to) the following topics: 1. Energy Efficient Network design - Efficient network architectures - Heterogeneous networks - Network traffic engineering and QoS support - Network operation and management 2. Enabling technologies - Physical layer techniques - MAC protocols - Cross-layer optimization - Cognitive networks 3. Network components and devices - Low power devices - User terminal designs - Base station hardware architectures - Power management for user terminals and network devices 4.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.
