From traditional wireless networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban environments and deep-space communications, the new approaches require an efficient merging with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all-weather protocols, clean-slate or evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of different network technologies, unified operation and management of the heterogeneous components and the support for new multimedia services are only few examples of the wide range of technologies building-up this new global network. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols, the dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics and cross-layer interactions. This year, we particularly emphasize on areas such as Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and Opportunistic Networks. The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field of global internetworking, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions.

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. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt font) including figures, tables, and references.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The Third IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-12) Datum: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:05:58 +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 maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. The enhanced version of the best-quality selected papers that have been presented at VON 2012 may be invited for publication in the special issue of international journals.

They have a considerable engineering, commercial and societal impact and pose numerous challenges to designers. One class of issues is the continuous offering of services in spite of various types of failures that are everyday events in networks. The increasing complexity, the participation of many different autonomous entities in the service provision, the lack of information, coordinated actions as well as governance makes this challenge increasingly difficult. In addition to a design of reliable network segments, server clusters etc., new technological issues like stability and failure management across heterogeneous autonomous systems arise. They also involve novel fields at the border of technology, business and society, like risk-awareness or influence of public policy. The goal of this issue is to present state of the art research contributions that focus on the reliable network-based services (RNS) provisioning. Contributions are invited from prospective authors with interests in the indicated special issue topics and related areas of application. All contributions should be of high quality, original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Network and service resilience: + reliability requirements and metrics for individual users, business, and the society + service differentiation based on recovery methods + dependability of networked applications and network-based services + application and service-specific survivability techniques - Commercial and societal context: + telecommunication networks as an element of critical national infrastructures + network resilience combined with economics and business issues + risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks - Operational aspects: + resilience of multi-domain connections in the Internet + reliability of emerging technologies (e.g., network virtualization, thin client architectures) + network dependability in cloud computing + interaction between fault management and traffic handling - Theory and modeling + reliability analysis + methods and theory for survivable networks and systems + simulation techniques for network and service resilience SCHEDULE Manuscript submission deadline: December 1, 2011 First notification: March 1, 2012 Submission of revised paper: May 1, 2012 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2012 GUEST EDITORS Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland, piotr.cholda(a)agh.edu.pl Bjarne E.

Oktober 2011 um 21:57 Betreff: [Tccc] CFP ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition ******Deadline December 21, 2011******** ***************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS 4th Extreme Conference on Communication - The Alpine Expedition ExtremeCom 2012 March 10-14, Zurich, Switzerland http://www.extremecom.org/ ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: December 21, 2011 Notification of acceptance: January 21, 2012 Registration deadline: March 1, 2012 (early registration before February 15, 2012) ***************************************************************************** Scope --------- The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) brings together researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in rural and remote environments, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, 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. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: • Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems • Real deployments of networks in extreme environments • Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments • User experience research • Delay tolerant networking • Low-power and intermittent-power protocols • Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications • Networked applications and services Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Sascha Trifunovic, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of Cambridge, UK Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Mischa Dohler <mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es> schrieb: Dear all, It has recently been decided to re-brand and re-fresh the transactions formerly known as European Transactions on Telecommunications (ETT) towards the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (still ETT). News related to this change are and will be announced at http://tinyurl.com/6cnhajw. The topics of preference within this re-focused transactions will be on Emerging Telecommunication Paradigms (such as machine-to-machine, smart grid, green communications, optical wireless communications, bio-inspired and nanoscale communications); as well as on disruptive access technologies, novel networking systems, etc. A more detailed list on its aims and scope is available from http://tinyurl.com/6l7fmks. Some core characteristics of the ETT are: i) we have generally reduced reviewing cycles now to some weeks; ii) the publication of papers deemed to be of importance to the community can be fast-tracked to virtually immediate publication; iii) the journal is indexed with an impact factor of 0.45 which is raising; iv) acceptance rates are around 25%; and v) reviews are lately of substantial depth. The type of papers we are accepting are: i) traditional transactions papers; ii) short letters; iii) survey/tutorial/position papers (please consult with me first); and iv) papers accepted from special issues on emerging telecoms technologies. Whilst the official change will only be effective as of 1 January 2012, I thought of dropping you a message already. I greatly welcome submissions related to above topics already, which will naturally get more preference over the traditional topics of the ETT. We will also shortly commence with special issues, with the first special issue being on machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and a second one on quality-of-experience; more details are to follow. Please, feel free to forward this email to your colleagues and of course submit an article yourself. If you have any questions or doubts, please, do not hesitate contacting me.

This area of research is in its early stages and there is still much to be done in order to realize the vision of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The aim of vehicular communication systems, and thus ITS, is to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment and location-based services for mobile users. To facilitate both safety and non-safety applications, the integration of communications and computing technologies into vehicular and transportation systems becomes a must. These result in various types of cooperative vehicular communications and networks: intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-roadside (V2R), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. While many conferences and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss vehicular communication, network protocols and solutions, only few research works addressed issues related to measurements, modeling and experimentations in such systems. So, the primary objective of the WVCN workshop will be to discuss the issues related to these themes. The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental, measurement and modeling aspects of vehicular communications and networks, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished. Topics of interest: ============== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Channel and radio propagation measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Data traffic measurement, Modeling, and simulation • Capacity analysis and Modeling • Modeling MAC, network and transport layer protocols for vehicular networks • Modeling user demand and telematics services characterization • New measurement methodologies and infrastructures • Innovative measurement methodologies and tools • Simulation and experimentation of Vehicular Communication Systems (VANET, Vehicular Mesh Networks, Cellular- based Vehicular Networks, ...) • Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies • Experimental evaluation of telematic applications and services • Design & evaluation of vehicular testbeds, prototypes and platforms • Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments and measurement campaigns • Field Operational Testing (FOT) results • Security and QoS issues in Vehicular Communication Systems Main Sponsor: ============ IAPP CARMESH project (An FP7 Marie Curie Industry Academia Partnership Pathway project) The IAPP CARMESH project will provide a certain number of travel grants for students, young researchers and potentially confirmed researchers (authors of accepted papers).

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: [MM-INTEREST] Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal: Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Datum: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:55:41 +0200 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ======================== 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.

These systems' availability, reliability, dependability, security, and privacy, all lend support to many core societal needs including: critical utility infrastructure, finance and banking, health services, production and manufacturing, leisure and entertainment, and e-Government. Improving our ability to engineer such systems requires a good understanding of how they behave at scale in the real world. Unfortunately, resource constraints have generally restricted research from pursuing such evaluation and testing work. Recently, test beds in the order of 100-node have become relatively commmonplace, and combined with the development of larger-scale platforms such as EmuLab and DETER, they have advanced our knowledge considerably. Following the success of QuEST09 in Bradford UK, QuEST10 in Perth Australia, and QuEST 11 in Singapore, this workshop focuses on the issues, requirements, and tools to support real-world representative at scale testing, and results obtained through such testing efforts. Statistically representative quantitative measures and evaluations required for the development and assessment of large-scale systems and applications are of particular interest. Original research works addressing the state-of-the art large-scale system testing, evaluation and behavioural prediction are solicited in the following areas (but not limited to): * Test bed development * Measurement and instrumentation tool development * In situ system testing * Real-world system modeling * Real-world application characterization * Real-world system emulation * Real-world case studies * Cyber security * Workload and traffic generation * Distributed system dependability, scalability, and capacity * Network engineering design * Large-scale engineering, scientific and data-intensive algorithms Submission Deadline: Extended to November 1, 2011 (23:59 PST) Author Notification: December 1, 2011 Author Registration Deadline: December 23, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: January 6, 2012 Original full papers of at most 6 (six) pages including figures and references in PDF (Proceedings Style: two columns, single-spaced, 10 font) are solicited. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present at the conference. Accepted papers will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CSP) and archived in the Digital Library. Extended version of selected papers will be considered for publication in international journals. _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, and embedded systems design. IPSN is part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPS Week), which will bring together other leading CPS conferences including International Conference on Hybrid Systems (HSCC'12), International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS'12), and IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS'12). The IPSN conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact program chairs with questions or clarifications. As an example of the different foci, results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track, while details on the hardware and software platforms and tools used in the deployment should be submitted to SPOTS. The Information Processing (IP) track focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded sensors. Topics covered in this track include, but are not limited to: - Applications and deployment experiences - Coding, compression and information theory - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Fundamental bounds and formulations - Location, time, and other network services - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Network protocols - Programming models and languages - Innovative mobile sensing applications - User interfaces for sensing applications and systems - Innovative sensing platforms including crowd sourcing The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track focuses on new hardware and software architectures, modeling, evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, implementations, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems. Submissions are expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and implementations. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are not limited to: - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures - Embedded software for sensor networks - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and study/compare the performance of platforms and tools - Network health monitoring and management - Operating systems and runtime environments - Simulation ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Feng Zhao, Microsoft Research Asia TPC Co-Chair (IP Track): Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University TPC Co-Chair (SPOTS Track): Kamin Whitehouse, University of Virginia Demo Chair: Fred Jiang, Microsoft Research Asia Poster Chair: Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Publications Chair: Jie Gao, SUNY Stony Brook Finance and Sponsorship Chair: Xenofon Koutsoukos, Vanderbilt University Web Chair: Nic Lane, Microsoft Research Asia Publicity Co-Chairs: Luca Mottola, Swedish Institute of Computer Science and Ying Zhang, Palo Alto Research Center STEERING COMMITTEE Feng Zhao, Chair, Microsoft Research Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC Deborah Estrin, UCLA Leo Guibas, Stanford P.R.

From a number of angles it appears that we have reached a point in the impressive development cycle of the Internet that now requires some major change. In the past few years, there has been a renewed worldwide interest in future Internet architectures, leading to early-stage research programs such as NSF FIND/FIA/GENI in the US, FP7 Network of the Future/FIRE in Europe and NWGN in Japan. The objective of these R&D programs is to evolve or re-architect the Internet protocol to improve security and usability, incorporate new optical and wireless technologies and better serve the next generation of content, mobile and pervasive network services. The International Workshop on the Network of the Future (FutureNet) is a platform for both evolutionary and clean-slate approaches for redesign of the Internet. The event will uniquely bring together approaches driven by mobile and wireless requirements, network virtualization, network self-management, content and sensor networking and discuss these from both a technical as well as socio-economic perspective. o Topics of Interest We solicit contributions that report early results addressing research challenges on topics related to the network of the future. Particularly, we want to identify and address issues with a very high potential for significant impacts on the way the network is functioning and being used. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners but fresh ideas in the form of early results. Position papers and systems papers are particularly welcome. o Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Re-design and re-evaluation of today?s architectural principles * End-to-end virtualization of the network * Programmable network equipment such as routers * New mobile networking technologies * Alternatives to established technologies such as routing * New optical layer networking technologies * Self-management of networks * New media-aware transport services * New approaches to network security and user privacy * Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks * Technology based on new communication paradigms * Enabling technologies for the Internets of Things * Machine-to-machine networking * Publish/subscribe network architectures * Policy and social issues in future architectures o Paper Submission Guidelines All submissions to ICC 2012 Workshop on FutureNet V should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. Authors may submit an additional page (i.e., 6 pages total) if they agree to provide a one-page fee if the paper is accepted for publication.
