Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: • Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology • Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets • Techniques for mobility data storage and processing • Knowledge discovery from mobility data • Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling • Planet-scale data collection infrastructures • Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection • Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale • Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection • Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. 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 and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

Fwd: [Tccc] 2nd Workshop on Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks (coHetNets); SUBMISSION DEADLINE---> March 9, 2012

Bennis Mehdi <mehdi.bennis(a)gmail.com> schrieb: _____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Workshop on Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks (coHetNets) July 30 - August 2, 2012, Munich, Germany https://sites.google.com/site/cohetnet2012/ Collocated with: International Conference on Computer Communication Networks (ICCCN 2012) _____________________________________________ The proliferation of new applications, e.g. mobileTV, Internet gamming, large file transfer, and the development of user terminals, e.g., smart phones, notebooks, has dramatically increased user traffic and network load. Moreover, with the number of wireless subscribers expected to triple over the next five years, it is obvious that current networks will not be able to satisfy customer demands in the near future. In order to meet this traffic growth and provide service to their customers, vendors and operators are working on the development of new technologies and cellular standards. Within them, heterogeneity in network deployment has been heralded as the most promising way of increasing both the coverage and the capacity of future wireless systems. Thus, it is expected that new elements such as remote radio heads, picocells, femtocells, and relay nodes will be deployed overlying macrocells. Therefore, future networks are expected to be heterogeneous. In this way, networks will be closer to users, and system capacity will be enhanced through a better spatial spectrum reuse. However, although HetNets are envisioned to support the increasing data traffic demand and meet the requirements imposed for the fourth generation of mobile networks, they also lead to new technical challenges never faced before. For example, due to the larger number of cells and thus of cell boundaries, the management of interference becomes an intricate problem. Since centralized network planning and optimization cannot deal with the individualistic nature of user-deployed cells, e.g., femtocells, a key to the success of HetNets is the cooperation between nodes in a decentralized and distributed manner. Such cooperation is the only way to ensure a proper network operation. However, cooperation is not easy to achieve due to different issues and threats imposed by the network itself, e.g., limited back-haul capabilities, dynamics of traffic and radio channel, energy consumption, operational costs, etc. _____________________________________________ Main Topics: The target of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss all recent challenges and developments related to cooperation in HetNets, and establish future research directions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Collaborative techniques in macro/pico/femto-cellular networks. - Performance modeling and simulation for HetNets. - Cooperative communications between HetNet nodes. - Downlink and uplink PHY/MAC design for cooperative HetNets. - Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in HetNets. - Cognitive radio techniques in HetNets. - Mobility management in HetNets. - Load balancing in HetNets. - Restricted access versus open-access for low-power HetNet nodes. - Interference analysis, mitigation and avoidance in HetNets. - Power saving mechanism in HetNets. - Distributed radio resource management in cooperative HetNets. - Cooperative sensing techniques and feedback in HetNets. - Remote radio headers planning and deployment. - Expanded region picocells planning and deployment. - Cooperative relaying in HetNets. - eICIC techniques in LTE-Advanced HetNets. - MIMO techniques in HetNets. - Positioning and tracking systems based on HetNets. _____________________________________________ Instructions for Authors: Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS ( http://edas.info/ ) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages.

Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2012 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Ninth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2012) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Experimentations and measurements of wireless networks: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating wireless networks (including location and energy consumption) * Measurement and characterization of mobile network (e.g., traffic, usage and mobility patterns) * Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models in actual wireless environments * Measurements-driven models and simulations of wireless networks operations * Measurements-based network management and troubleshooting * Large-scale or federated test-bed measurements * Home networking measurements - Techniques for wireless networks measurements: * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Techniques for validating the results obtained in wireless testbeds * Techniques for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds (e.g., wireless link emulation) * Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference or journal. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE conference double column format, 10pt) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Personal and Ubiquitous Computing SI on Cross-Community Mining Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:01:11 +0800 Von: Bin Guo <guobin.keio(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Special Issue of* *ACM/Springer Journal of "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC)"* *on Cross-Community Mining* *Introduction People now live in heterogeneous social communities within cyber-physical spaces - both online communities and social networks where digital content is exchanged, and ad hoc physical communities that exploit opportunistic relationships between pairs of networked devices to exchange content. These communities have distinct technical features which lead to distinct kinds of interaction - such as patterns of comments and likes in online communities and co-location in ad hoc communities, or issues of friendship, trust and influence in online communities and social popularity and movement patterns in ad hoc communities. Rather than viewing online communities and ad hoc communities as competing, we see them as complementary and suggest that cross-community mining (CCM) can connect these two communities by revealing hidden knowledge about the interplay between different communities and patterns of social interaction within and between them. This theme issue of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing provides the opportunity for researchers and product developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of CCM techniques and applications. Papers on theoretical, practical, methodological issues in Cross-Community Mining are welcome. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):  Inclusive Design Issues related to CCM  Forming Online Communities with Knowledge from Ad hoc Community  Enhancing Communications in Ad hoc Community with Online Community Knowledge  Knowledge Integration/Transfer among Communities  Infrastructure Support for CCM (managing heterogeneous/multi-dimensional data, seamlessly switch among distinct communities, etc.)  Evaluation Metrics for CCM *Submissions Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted by email to the Corresponding Guest Editor – Dr. Bin Guo. Please note in your cover letter the theme issue for which your submission is intended. Note: Manuscripts must not have been previously published or be submitted for publication elsewhere.

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.

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope of the workshop ----------------------- Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second edition of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina - USA on June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Mobile devices for healthcare - Wearable and Implantable Wireless sensors for healthcare - Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps - Protocols for wireless healthcare - Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps - Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Energy Efficiency in Wireless health monitoring - Pervasive Health Systems and Services - Authentication and Sensors' monitoring - Confidentiality and Data Security - Mobile Interfaces for Data Visualization - Realizations and Platforms - Standards for mobile healthcare Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted regular papers must be up to 10 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X 11 inches) and short papers up to 4 pages including text, figures and references. It should be in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Further submission instructions could be found on the workshop web site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:15:25 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Information-Centric Networking Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/icn.php ====================================================================== 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. Call for Papers This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. - Topics • 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 "packet size" 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 Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at athttp://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php.

Open interfaces to network switches enable more flexible and predictable network control, and they make it easier to extend network function. During the past few years, several router vendors have introduced software development kits for programming their network devices, and several commercial switches now support the emerging OpenFlow standard. Researchers have proposed new applications that can run on top of a software defined network, including dynamic access control, server load balancing, energy-efficient networking, and seamless client mobility and virtual-machine migration. Many research and industry groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of software defined networking, and experimental and production deployments exist. Still, many important research challenges remain: how to design switches and APIs that offer greater flexibility without compromising performance; how to design a software platform for the control and management of software defined networks; how to design new applications that capitalize on the programmability of the network; how to lower the barrier to creating, testing, and evaluating new applications; how to transition an existing network to SDN, and how a software defined network can interoperate with existing protocols and devices; and many others. The goal of the workshop is to explore recent research and developments related to SDN; to allow an exchange of ideas; to encourage broad interaction between industry and academia; and to help build a wider community to explore and realize the potential of SDN. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on Software Defined Networking. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, and backbone networks • Application of SDN to network management, performance monitoring, security, etc. • Virtual appliances (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) on SDN • Virtualization support in software-defined networks • Switch designs for SDN • Application Programming Interfaces for SDN • Control and management software stack for SDN • Programming languages, verification techniques, and tools for SDN • Performance evaluation of SDN network elements and controllers • Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks • Hybrid SDN approaches (integration with other control planes) • Transitioning existing networks to SDN • Placement and factoring of SDN control logic - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. - Important Dates Submissions due April 6, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 25, 2012 Camera ready version due June 15, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the program chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Nick Feamster (Georgia Tech) Jennifer Rexford (Princeton) Program Committee Members Katerina Argyraki (EPFL) Jun Bi (Tsinghua University) Marco Canini (EPFL) Martin Casado (Nicira) Anja Feldmann (T-Labs/TU Berlin) Nate Foster (Cornell) Yashar Ganjali (U.

Third-party mobile applications such as Apple Siri, iCloud, and Yelp are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The eco-system for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. Even one of the most popular mobile OS -- Android operation system is open source. This allows many phone and tablet vendors to innovate on the hardware and firmware. Underpinning this mobile world, it is the cellular networks. Unfortunately, the cellular networks present a rather disheartening picture. They are closed, mostly proprietary, and constructed using closed monolithic equipments. The innovation is limited to a very small number of equipment vendors, not open to the general research community. As a result, cellular networks are prone to outages, dropped calls, performance problems, and hard to manage. The closed nature of cellular networks threatens to derail the mobile revolution or limit its true potential. Research innovation in mobile cellular networks is hampered by the fact that most academic researchers have no access to cellular radios, source codes of cellular network equipments, cellular network management tools, and realistic network traces at scale. As a result, most wireless research is conducted using WiFi. We believe this situation much change. To effect change, this workshop brings network operators, and academic researchers together to address the problems. First, we would like academic researchers to understand operational aspects of cellular network. Second, we would like researchers from academia and industry to jointly identify the challenges, and propose future designs so that cellular networks can evolve to meet the growing challenges of a mobile world. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on cellular networks. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Operation aspects: • Radio resource allocation and usage profiling • Cellular network architecture characterization • Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic • Cellular network security • Challenges facing today's cellular networks: • Cellular network management • Mobility • Energy efficiency • Spectrum shortage • Future cellular network design: • Architectures • Protocols • Algorithms • Security and privacy - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file.

W-MUST aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the networking and HCI communities to share new ideas and experiences addressing the challenges of measuring networked applications on end-user platforms for purposes related to performance, privacy, security, diagnosis, and troubleshooting. We are particularly interested in gathering context related to user activity or reflecting measurement-derived information to users. Work that solely considers network-level traces is out of scope. This workshop encourages work toward understanding how to gather the user view and correlate it with lower-level measurements. - Topics We solicit short papers describing positions and work-in-progress that will generate lively discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Incentivizing and providing feedback to users. • Techniques for gathering individual user perspectives during measurement. • Sampling users in the face of unpredictability. • Data collection techniques that respect personalised user privacy. • Correlating user experience with low level measurements. • Disambiguating intentional from unintentional network activity. • Disambiguating user-generated from non-user generated activity. • Combining user, application, and network measurements on smartphone platforms. • Exposing hidden activities, on the network and in the cloud, to users. • Understanding tradeoffs in host data collection between performance impact and data quality. • Annotating measurement of peoples' use of networked applications with context. • Optimising network and system resources via context-aware user profiles. • Quantifying user experience with both network-centric and user-centric metrics. • Integration of formal and informal user-centric methodologies into measurement. - Submission Instructions Submissions must be as PDF files no longer than 6 pages in length. They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Submissions must follow theSIGCOMM formatting guidelines. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Detailed instructions how to submit your paper will be posted here soon. - Important Dates Abstract registration due March 30, 2012 Submissions due April 6, 2012 Notification of acceptance May 16, 2012 Workshop date August 17, 2012 - Program Committee • Marshini Chetty (Georgia Tech, co-chair) • Richard Mortier (University of Nottingham, co-chair) • Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin) • AJ Brush (Microsoft Research Redmond) • Fabian Bustamante (Northwestern University) • Sean Goggins (Drexel University) • Tristan Henderson (University of St. Andrews) • Thomas Karagiannis (Microsoft Research Cambridge) • Janne Lindqvist (Rutgers University) • Nina Taft (Technicolor) • Renata Texeira (CNRS) - Thanks to SIGCOMM2012 supporters (in alphabetical order): AT&T Labs Research, Aalto University , Bell Labs Alcatel-Lucent, Comcast, Cisco, HP, Internet Society, Microsoft Research, NetApp, Nokia, OY L M ERICSSON AB, Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo S.A.
