HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for our Doctoral Consortium describing novel work on mobile systems, applications and services. The Doctoral Consortium will consist of several short, "work-in-progress" style talks at the end of each session. By giving each student a short slot at the end of each session during the workshop, students will be able to present their doctoral work to a broad audience, and interact directly with workshop attendees. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Submission Instructions ------------------------------ Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. In addition, please submit a 3-slide (excluding the title) presentation (preferably PowerPoint) outlining the main ideas of the submitted abstract.

These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications Datum: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:31:18 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | SESENA 2012 | 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering for | Sensor Network Applications | | Zurich, Switzerland, 2 June 2012 | | In conjunction with | ACM/IEEE Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Paper submission: 17 February 2012 | Author notification: 19 March 2012 | Camera-ready copy: 29 March 2012 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | http://www.sesena.info +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-physical and Pervasive Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individuals hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the development task and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA12 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA12 will also host two special sessions: (i) a "speakers’ corner" composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes), and (ii) a session dedicated to the VISION project, an FP7 ERC Starting Grant focusing on developing an innovative infrastructure for real-time sensing services. In the latter session, the intermediate project results will be presented with the dual goal of sharing the uniqueness of the ERC-style grants and discussing technical elements to identify possible future collaborations. Topics of interest: The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - environment and context modeling; - development methodologies; - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; - testing, debugging, and validation; - non-functional modeling and analysis; - security and trust; - formal verification and model-checking; - model-driven approaches; - middleware systems; - interfacing WSNs and business services; - integration of WSNs in IoT applications.

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.

Fikret Sivrikaya <Fikret.Sivrikaya(a)dai-labor.de> schrieb: Updated submission deadline (FIRM): Jan 7, 2012. Third IEEE Workshop on User-Centric Networking (U-NET 2012) In conjunction with ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada http://uloop.eu/unet2012 Wireless technologies have been used mostly as last-hop of fixed networks. In the last years the inherent flexibility of wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of technologies that allow networking functions to be deployed by the action of the end-user, for instance as a virtual Internet service operator. However, the potential of this new set of user-centric networking technologies has not been explored in terms of new Internet horizons and potential business opportunities, or in terms of pervasive network experience and social interaction. The Workshop is dedicated to the debate of challenges and opportunities concerning user-centric networking technologies, which allow end-users to cooperate by sharing network services and resources. This set of technology may empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) provide support for a better Internet connectivity; iii) allow the usage of communication services even in the absence of a reliable Internet access; iv) assistive networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in what concerns the end-to-end Internet paradigm, since end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network; ii) in terms of regular network boundar ies of trust, which need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; iii) while handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas related to user-centric networking technologies, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols and new components that integrate into a future Internet architecture. We encourage submissions of full papers describing highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. We also encourage the submission of poster papers presenting a set of architectural agreements and disagreements about the role of user-centric networking. To be accepted, poster papers must meet the same quality criteria as traditional papers. The workshop covers all aspects related to the current and future user-centric networking technologies including, but not limited to, the following: * Impact on access networks * Impact on Internet architectures * New Internet connectivity models * Trust models, incentives to share network services and resources * Resource management in spontaneous networks * Human behavior and mobility patterns * Self-organization in dynamic wireless networks * Cooperative networking * Opportunistic networking * Community detection and social networking aspects * Security, traceability, confidentiality, non-reputation, identity management * Low-cost and energy-efficient technologies Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references), through EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11479. Important Dates: - Paper Submission: Jan 07, 2012 - Acceptance Notification: Feb 10, 2012 - Camera Ready Version: Mar 01, 2012 - Workshop Date: June 10-15, 2012 Accepted papers must be registered and presented at the workshop by one of the authors. All papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2012 proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore database.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM-2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking (ICN-2012) Datum: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:51:41 +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 message] ====================================================================== ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Information-Centric Networking (ICN-2012) August 13 or 17, 2012 Helsinki, Finland http://www.neclab.eu/icn-2012/ ====================================================================== Call For Papers --------------- The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Important research topics for ICN include: naming and addressing (how to name information objects, how to represent location information), routing and resolution (deciding on how to forward "interest" in information and actual information objects, whether and how to resolve information object names to lower layer identifiers during that process), resource management (implications of in-network caching and paradigms such as receiver-orientation to resource sharing, congestion control etc.) and security (privacy, data protection and key distribution have to be adapted to the new communication models). This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. ICN-2012 topics of Interest --------------------------- * Naming and addressing * Routing and name resolution * Routing and name resolution scalability * Support for mobility * Support for / avoidance of middle boxes * Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) * Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) * Security, privacy and trust * Testbeds and simulations frameworks * Metadata and network extensions * Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) * PDUs, fragmentation and â€œpacket sizeâ€ implications on design * Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay * Performance evaluation * Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) * Limitations of ICNs Submission instructions ------------------------ All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre©\ determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi©\hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to highlight the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor©\actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent©\based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility©\assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences PROGRAM CO©\CHAIRS: Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr) University of Piraeus, Greece Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr) Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr) University of the Aegean, Greece TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE: Kemal Akkaya (Southern Illinois at Carbondale, USA), Stefano Basagni (Northeastern University, USA) Paolo Bellavista (Universit¨¤ di Bologna, Italy), Ioannis Chatzigiannakis (Computer Technology Institute, Greece) Cheng©\Fu Chou (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA), Martin Haenggi (University of Notre Dame, USA), Chi©\Fu Huang (National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan), Victor Leung (Univeristy of British Columbia, Canada), Jun Luo (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Edith Ngai (Uppsala University, Sweden), Sotiris Nikolitseas (University of Patras, Greece), Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy), Hairong Qi (University of Tennessee, USA), Binoy Ravindran (Virginia Tech, USA), Jens Schmitt (University of Kaiserslautern, Germany), Anthony Stefanidis (George Mason University, USA), Damla Turgut (University of Central Florida, USA), Pramod K.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further stressed. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges are: i) the definition of architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (Future) Internet; and ii) the creation of value-added services, esp. open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT/M2M - Communication protocols for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for the IoT/M2M - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT/M2M - Mobility management - Context awareness - Sustainable design - Location-based services and geographic information systems - Experimental prototypes and large-scale testbed infrastructures - Performance evaluation of IoT/M2M solutions - Convergence with the Internet of Services - Applications, including: eHealth/mHealth; Smart Grid/Smart Metering; connected consumer; fleet management; surveillance; Intelligent Transportation Systems; Smart House/Neighborhood/City - Business development and processes - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Accurate measurements of practical wireless deployments are vital for researchers to evaluate the real-world performance of proposed solutions. In addition to better understanding of systems, experimental wireless network measurements allow for better analytical and simulation models which are often limited by simplified protocol and wireless channel models. As a consequence, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the wireless networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We seek novel papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks, mesh networks, sensor networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, distributed computing paradigms, user experiences and web applications. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter. Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines _____________________________________________ Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [RealWiN 2012] Call for paper Datum: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:07:29 +1300 Von: haibo zhang <zhangotago(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012 Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012 #### Scope: ########## During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general. Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial applications impose new challenges to wireless network design such as stringent requirements on reliability, real-time performance, latency of the communication, security, and networked control, even more stringent than time-critical best-effort applications like voice over IP. Despite the already high requirements, the desire is growing to use wireless communication in even more demanding industrial applications such as factory automation and motion control. This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on ’soft’ real time requirements as well as on ’hard’ real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc. In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction): - Physical layer design - Medium access control and interference management - Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis - Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking - Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation - Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation - Application scenarios and requirements - Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks - Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking - Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues - Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks - Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems - Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments #### Dates: ########## Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012 Notification: February 13th, 2012 Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012 #### Submissions and Review Process: ########## We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described above. Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column, single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012 Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email. #### Program Committee: ################## - Björn Andersson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA - Michael Bahr, Siemens CT, Germany - Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurth, Austria - James Gross, RWTH Aachen Universit, Germany - Michael Kaever, Siemens Industry Motion Control Systems, Germany - Kimmo Kansanen, NTNU Trondheim, Norway - Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany - Rolf Kraemer, Technical University of Cottbus, Germany - Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa, Italy - Thiemo Voigt, SICS, Sweden - Thomas Watteyne, DustNetworks, USA - Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand - Haibo Zhang, University of Otago, New Zealand - Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
