-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal: Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Datum: Thu, 6 Oct 2011 09:48:39 +0200 (CEST) Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================== CALL FOR PAPERS ========================= Elsevier - Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications ================================================================== Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially, economically and yes, even psychologically. This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. Submission process: All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive Urban Applications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 Guest Editors of the Special Issue: Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, fcalabre(a)ie.ibm.com Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy, marco.conti(a)iit.cnr.it Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA, dahlem(a)mit.edu Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland, giusydil(a)ie.ibm.com Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, UK, santi(a)newcastle.ac.uk _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ACM MobiOpp'12] Call For Papers Datum: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:42:48 +0200 (CEST) Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MobiOpp 2012 Third International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networks http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/mobiopp2012/ sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE March 15-16, 2012 ETH Zürich, Switzerland After the successful ACM MobiOpp 2007 and ACM MobiOpp 2010, the organizing committee is excited to invite you to take part in the Third International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networks that will be held March 15-16th, 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland at ETH. Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of networks where communication is challenged by sporadic and intermittent contacts as well as frequent disconnections and reconnections, and where the assumption of the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is relinquished. The aim of MobiOpp 2012 is to provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest research in the field of mobile opportunistic networking. In particular, MobiOpp 2012 strongly encourages submissions of experimental work. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Opportunistic, Delay-tolerant and Hybrid Networks - Mobile Urban Sensing and Crowdsensing - Novel Architectures, Middleware, Prototypes and Testbeds - Routing, Dissemination and Caching in Opportunistic Networks - Analysis of Opportunistic Protocols - Security, Trust, Privacy and Cooperation in Opportunistic Networks - Social-aware Opportunistic Networking - Anti-censorship/surveillance opportunistic communications - Opportunistic Applications (e.g., opportunistic social networking, disaster and emergency situations, healthcare, communication in remote regions) - Mobility models for opportunistic networks Submitted papers should be novel and should not be currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form. We accept paper submissions of **8 pages** and demo and poster abstracts of 2 pages at http://edas.info/N11119 . Further formatting requirements are available on the website. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. MobiOpp 2012 is also featured on social networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE NOMEN 2012 (INFOCOM'12 Workshop) Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:03:17 -0500 Von: Yu Cheng <cheng(a)iit.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ********* CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE NOMEN 2012 ********* IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices in Name-Oriented Networking ******* in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 ******* March 30, 2012 Orlando, Florida Scope of the conference Exponential growth of video traffic and on-line storage services in recent years has brought performance degradation to previously successful services. Networks increasingly rely on Content-Distribution Networks (CDNs) to deliver popular services like YouTube, Deezer, Spotify and MegaUpload to an ever growing user population. Moreover, more and more users are gaining access to the network via smart mobile devices equipped with multiple wireless and wired interfaces, capable of storing a huge amount of data and running all kinds of network services. Network connectivity is thus increasingly heterogeneous, of variable quality and intermittent. In view of these trends, network providers and vendors are seeking to develop a more flexible network infrastructure, natively incorporating in-network storage, mobility, multi-path forwarding, and multi-homing. In particular, the concept of name-oriented networking (also referred to as content-centric or information-centric networking) is taking center stage in recent research on the architecture of the future Internet. Instead of host-to-host communication, as in the current Internet architecture, a name-oriented network architecture makes named data a first class entity. It cares about which data to fetch instead of which host to reach, using data names to retrieve content instead of addresses of data containers. This basic idea has spawned a number of network architecture proposals that share common principles, including in-network storage, multi-path data forwarding, multiparty communication, mobility support and tolerance of intermittent connectivity, but differ, sometimes fundamentally, in the way they would be achieved. The objective of the workshop is to present original work on emerging design choices within the scope of name-oriented networking enabling a reasoned comparison of their respective advantages and more clearly identifying the issues and solutions that transcend these differences. We solicit submissions of original work pertaining to the design, development, performance evaluation and analysis of network architectures centered on named data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Naming * Security and privacy * Name-oriented routing protocols * Forwarding strategies * Network management and operations * Mobility management * Delay tolerant networks * In-network caching techniques * Performance Evaluation * Router designs * Resource management and congestion control * Transport protocols * Traffic engineering * New application designs and use cases * Implementation and deployment experience * Business models and economic issues Manuscript submissions Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and in a pdf file. They should report original work that is not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site. Important dates * Paper Submission: December 1, 2011 * Acceptance notification: January 1, 2012 * Camera-ready Version: January 15, 2012 Organization Program Co-Chairs - Giovanna Carofiglio, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, France - Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA Steering Committee - Van Jacobson, PARC, USA - Luca Muscariello, Orange Labs, France - James Roberts, INRIA, France - Jim Thornton, PARC, USA - Anwar Walid, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, USA Publicity Chairs - Prosper Chemouil, Orange Labs, France - Martin Vigoureux, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, France _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and green computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Quality of cloud services and cloud computing Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks Energy awareness in communication systems Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------------------ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Rawat <dbrawat.cfp(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, dmanet(a)zpr.uni-koeln.de, mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Journal of Ad Hoc Networks( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc SCI Indexed, 2010 Impact Factor: 1.592) Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Recent Advances in Vehicular Communications and Networking The pdf version of this CFP is available at http://www.elsevierscitech.com/dronsite/cfp/CFPRecentAdvances_VehicularComm… Or at http://www.wireless-communications.net Vehicular communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) plays an increasingly important role in people’s lives since it provides safety as well as comfort for passengers and enables more efficient travel by providing timely information to operators of vehicles and concerned authorities. As a result, there will be a strong demand for wireless communications and networking to provide information as well as onboard entertainment services to passengers and driver. Vehicular communication is expected to implement a variety of wired and wireless technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) for V2V systems, communication may experience serious deterioration due to the lack of accurate channel state information and advanced radio-resource-allocation schemes to assign wireless resources to high-speed vehicles. Moreover, communication among high-speed vehicles through cellular communication networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs resulting in degradation in overall system performance. This motivates researchers to design innovative resource allocation techniques and robust, as well as, fast handover schemes for dynamically changing topologies of VANETs. In VANETs for V2V communications, trust, security, privacy, and reliable routing are major concerns since the network topology changes constantly. Furthermore, physical layer design issues for wireless communications in high-speed mobile environments are also of vital importance to realize its full potential for ITS. All in all, vehicular communications with dynamically changing topologies is a demanding research topic. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that focus on vehicular communications and networking. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to · Physical Layer and Propagation Models. · Radio Resource and Interference Management. · Medium Access Control and Routing Protocols. · Information Aggregation and Dissemination. · Positioning and Location Technologies. · Sensor Technologies for VANETs. · Drive-Through Internet and Roadside Infrastructures. · Incident Detection for VANETs. · Trust, Security, and Privacy Issues. · Fast and Reliable Handover and Mobility Management · Vehicle Traffic Models. · Heterogeneous Networking. · Cellular and Satellite Communications for Vehicular Networking. · Cross-Layer Designs and Architectures. · Game Theory Based Protocols and Algorithms. · Green Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications and Networking. · Standardization and Development, such as WAVE/DSRC/802.11p · Applications, Case Studies, and Real-World Test Beds. · Business Models and Policies. -------------------------------------------- Submission Format and Guideline: ----------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be written in English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is not currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Cognitive Radio Networks Datum: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 08:49:37 -0400 Von: My List <xjing.list(a)gmail.com> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] *http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/cfp/cfpwcm0812.htm * CALL FOR PAPERS *IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Cognitive Radio Networks: A Practical Perspective* Contemporary wireless system design must typically incorporate increased bandwidth requirements due to the persistent trend for higher wireless multimedia data rates. Increased bandwidth may be achieved by developing efficient strategies for spectrum management. The cognitive radio concept proposes to push efficiency in spectrum access and resource allocation beyond its traditional limits, by introducing spectrum sharing, coexistence, and cooperation among heterogeneous wireless networks. This approach has been worldwide recognized by standardization and regulation bodies, and a number of wireless technologies could benefit from it. Examples abound. WiFi networks could operate in other portions of the spectrum than the traditional ones thus avoiding the already overcrowded ISM bands. Sensor networks deployed in factories or highly interfered environments could adaptively select the frequency bands that are less used by other nearby wireless devices and allow reliable data transfer. Communications systems using OFDM could resort to non-contiguous carriers usage for dynamic spectrum access, thus favoring coexistence with other technologies while still providing high data rates. Important technical challenges still need to be overcome, however, in order to achieve successful coexistence and cooperation among heterogeneous systems. Open research issues cover a wide range of system aspects, from the hardware component up to network layer design. Technical, economical, and regulatory challenges need to be addressed as well. In order to compel the cognitive networking vision, experts in various aspects of wireless design must come together for a joint effort towards system level optimization. The objective of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality papers that report the latest research advances in the design and implementation of cognitive networking, as well as survey papers on the major challenges and possible solutions that lead the path to real-world cognitive radio systems. We solicit both academic and industrial contributions, which are original, previously unpublished and not currently under review by another journal. The submitted papers should focus on practical aspects of cognitive radio networks, system design issues, implementations/testbeds, or measurements in real environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Centralized and distributed spectrum coordination services Regulation issues and use cases Practical applications and standards for cognitive radio (IEEE802.22, IEEE SCC41,Š) Radio spectrum maps, database and usage of white spaces Software defined radio solutions Coexistence among heterogeneous wireless technologies (cellular, WiFi,Š) Implementation of sensing and dynamic spectrum management Design and implementation of cognitive MAC and network-layer protocols Physical layer and advanced signal processing Cross-layer optimization and reconfiguration solutions Security in cognitive radio networks Machine learning and pattern recognition for network identification Evaluation of different design and implementation choices (e.g., sensing vs. use of radio spectrum maps) Feasibility and implementation challenges of cognitive radio solutions in real devices Testbed and field trials with cognitive radio networks Manuscript Submission The papers should be tutorial in nature to help non-expert readers gain a good understanding of the topic. The papers should also discuss recent advances and future research topics. Authors must follow theIEEE Wireless Communications Magazine guidelines for preparation of the manuscript and submit it via Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IET Communications - Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols Datum: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:25:15 +0300 Von: Petros Nicopolitidis <petros(a)csd.auth.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IET Communications Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols In today’s world, wireless systems have become an essential tool and provide solutions in everyday personal and business situations in an easy and cost-effective manner. Wireless networking affects a number of fields, including healthcare, environmental, home appliances, education, military applications, among others. In general, designing, developing and testing of an efficient wireless network protocol is a great challenge for the researchers in these areas. Moreover, the development of an application specific protocol in any of these fields depends on various factors including the security, miniaturization, application constraints, hardware constraints, and energy requirements. The traditional trend in wireless network protocol design and development is towards maximization of the performance observed by the end-user, in terms of perceived throughput, delay, QoS, etc. Nevertheless, the rate of advances in battery technology continues to lag behind that of semiconductor technology, which is still well predicted by the celebrated Moore’s law. This imbalance in the rate of advances creates a gap between the energy a wireless network needs to operate and the battery capacity that powers its nodes. Hence, the requirement of Energy-Efficiency appears as an extremely important property of new protocols for wireless networks with battery-powered mobile nodes. Moreover, Energy-Efficiency is the tool to realize the vision of green wireless networks, which are deemed important these days due to the increasing share of wireless systems of the total energy expended in communications and networking systems. Energy-awareness contributes to achieving the task of energy-efficiency, as it provides the ability to networking protocols to adapt their operation according to the energy reserves of the network nodes and thus increase the energy-efficiency of a system. The objective of this special issue is to report state-of-the art results in energy-aware wireless networking protocols by welcoming contributions originating from both academic and industrial research. These should be original contributions solicited in relevant areas of energy-efficient wireless networking protocols. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list: • Energy-cognizant protocol design and network architectures • Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms • Energy-efficient MAC protocols • Energy-efficient routing protocols • Energy-efficient transport protocols • Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols • Energy-efficient communication protocols • Adaptive energy efficient protocols. • Energy efficiency in protocols for wireless sensor networks. • Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions • Innovative power control techniques. • Energy-efficient applications for wireless networks. • Novel applications of energy efficient wireless networking protocols Paper Format Submitted papers, which should be unpublished and not currently under review by another journal, must follow the IET guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts.

A large body of research, from various perspectives, have been produced by both the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities to achieve self-organization and coordination of groups of sensors, actuators, robots or drones toward target-oriented missions. But, the convergence of objectives and methodologies of the two disciplines is still open for further significant research efforts and challenging problems remain. The research on ad hoc networks, autonomic networks, cyber physical systems, self-organizing networks and machine-to-machine communications has involved issues, concepts and challenges that are useful for characterizing the pathway toward the formalization of the theory and the definition of algorithms for Wireless Networked Robotics (WNR). WNR brings together the physical control of the devices along with their communication capabilities and it includes that so far have been either neglected or only partially explored by the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities. In WNR some or all of the devices are expected to have memory and reasoning capabilities, which allow them to use the input coming from other devices, the environment and their history to select the best behaviour to assume according to mission objectives. Therefore, machine learning and cognitive networks concepts and algorithms would greatly contribute to WNR theory and algorithms. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the theory, algorithms and applications of wireless networked robotics. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - algorithm and theory of cooperation and coordination in WNR modelization, simulation and evaluation of coordination and cooperation schemes in WNR - communication and motion aware protocols for WNR - impact and optimization of network performance through physical and communication control of the devices - bio-inspired algorithms for cooperation and coordination in WNR self-organization in WNR - swarm intelligence and swarm robotics algorithms in WNR use cases and applications for WNR A full description can be found at the following address: http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/call_for_papers_WNR.pdf --------------------------------------------- *Submission Format and Guideline: * --------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) Datum: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 01:01:55 +0800 Von: C.-M. Chou (Jensen) <jensen0915(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) http://lens.csie.ncku.edu.tw/VON12/index.html to be held in conjunction with the AINA 2012 Conference that will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, March 26-29, 2012. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von12 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text.

The objective of this conference is to be a primary forum for reporting state-of-the-art advances and innovations in theoretical principles, tools, applications, systems infrastructure, and testbeds for cyber-physical systems.Contributions should emphasize the cross-cutting, system-wide themes. Sectors of applicability include, but not be limited to, transportation (automotive, aerospace, marine, rail), SCADA systems (electricity generation including smart grids and the like, other utilities), smart physical infrastructure (smart bridges, buildings and highways), energy efficiency (energy-aware buildings), environmental monitoring, defense systems, intelligent medical devices, tele-operations and robotics. Submissions must report results from original research and not have been submitted to or published in other conferences or journals. Submissions must be a maximum of 10 pages, in 2–column format, and use font sizes of no smaller than 10 pt. Instructions for submissions: http://www.iccps.org. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: • Theoretical foundations of CPS • Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis Techniques • Architectures for Cyber-Physical Systems • Building blocks for Cyber-Physical Systems • Systems Abstractions, Services and OS Support • Evaluation approaches and metrics • Novel CPS applications • Detailed Case Studies Important Dates: Submission Deadline: October 14, 2011 Acceptance Decisions: January 20, 2012 General Chair: Insup Lee, University of Pennsylvania Oleg Sokolsky, University of Pennsylvania Program Chairs: Chenyang Lu, Washington University Steering Committee: Karl-Erik Årzén, Lund U.
