The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and ! use this knowledge to improve futur e decisions. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:41:15 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks - Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors - Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks - Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage - Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime - Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks - Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Universita di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom .To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [GC Workshop-HeterWMN] IEEE 6th International Workshop on Heterogeneous, Multi-Hop, Wireless and Mobile Networks Datum: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:25:08 +0200 Von: Alexandre Guitton <alexandre.guitton(a)univ-bpclermont.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ******************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * ******************* HeterWMN 2011: IEEE 6th International Workshop on Heterogeneous, Multi-Hop, Wireless and Mobile Networks Houston, Texas, United States of America, December 5 To be held in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2011 Website: http://irit.fr/HeterWMN2011/ Submission deadline: July 7, 2011 Submission link: http:/edas.info/N10897 SUMMARY ======= The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are mainly based on single-hop architecture and rely on fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. SCOPE ===== Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: - Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management - Quality of services (QoS) delivery - Seamless Mobility - Robust and scalable routing protocols - MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover - Self-configuration and synchronization - Security - Topology control and management - Mobility models and location management - Cross-layer design and interactions - Cohabitation of wireless protocols - Software-defined radios - Modeling and performance evaluation - Algorithms for localization and signal processing - Implementation testbeds - Operating systems and middleware - Energy-efficient protocols PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted). Note that the maximum number of pages for a paper is 6; 5 pages plus 1 additional page allowed with a charge for the one additional page of USD100 if accepted. Papers exceeding 6 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the IEEE guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TPDS Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:24:27 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org, tccn(a)comsoc.org, dmanet(a)zpr.uni-koeln.de, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] cfp: Casemans 2011 - in conjunction with Ubicomp 2011 - Submission deadline: 25.06.2011 Datum: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 05:19:18 +0200 Von: Stephan Sigg <sigg(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Antwort an: sigg(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu The 5th ACM international workshop on context-awareness for self-managing systems (casemans 2011) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2011/casemans/index.html in conjunction with The 14th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2011/ CFP Recent advances in mobile and wireless technologies have contributed to the global availability and sharing of large-scale information. As a result, many noble and ubiquitous applications are emerging in the areas of healthcare, social networking, disaster avoidance and overcoming, independent living, etc. The desirable progress in the availability and sharing of information is not without side-effects or formidable challenges. Firstly, extracting the useful information from a large quantity of information in a seamless and timely manner is not simple. Secondly, the devices or mechanisms by which the information is gathered and processed are often limited in their processing and storing capability, which in turn has an effect on the quality of the information. Third, in a ubiquitous computing environment, it is not always possible to expect stable and reliable (as well as always available) sources to obtain critical data from the environment. Hence, noble data gathering, processing and delivery mechanisms are required for robust and reliable adaptation to take place in ubiquitous computing. With this respect, the Casemans 2011 workshop aims to complement the main Ubicomp 2011 conference by setting the focus of the workshop on investigating ways: # Of self-managing paradigms to seamlessly acquire and process context related data from various context sources. # To building self-managing systems that employ context information to support seamless adaptation. This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2010 by introducing three full paper sessions. Additionally, the workshop will feature a combined demo, poster and video session to foster hands-on experience, discussion and collaboration among participants. Each full paper session focuses on papers with solid research result. Furthermore, for each session, one visionary paper with work-in-progress reports will be accepted. These short papers (4 to 6 pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even controversial studies that encourage further research. The demonstrables are short papers (not more than 2 pages) and are accompanied by demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of context-awareness and autonomic service executions. Scope Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the # following terms: Context-awareness in cloud computing # Context-awareness in energy-efficient computing # Context-awareness in smart spaces # context-awareness in wireless sensor networks # Context-awareness in social networking # Context-awareness in robotics # Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution # Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction # Context-awareness in Organic Computing # Context-awareness in the Internet of Things Important Dates * Paper submission: 25 June 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: 15 July 2011 * Camera-ready deadline: 30 July 2011 Workshop Organisers: * Tomoko Yonezawa, Kansai University, Japan * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Underwater operations and applications are quite limited by comparison. Most applications refer to remotely controlled submersibles and wide-area data collection systems at a coarse granularity. Underwater sensor networks have many potential applications such a seismic imaging of undersea oil fields as a representative application. Oceanographic research is also based on the advances in underwater data collection systems. > > There are specific technical aspects to realize underwater applications which can not be borrowed from the ground-based sensors net research. Radio is not suitable for underwater systems because of extremely limited propagation. Acoustic telemetry could be used in underwater communication; however off-the-shelf acoustic modems are not recommended for underwater sensor networks with hundreds of nodes because they were designed for long-range and expensive. As the speed of light (radio) is five orders of magnitude higher than the speed of sound, there are fundamental implications of time synchronization and propagation delays for localization.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 13:04:38 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication, networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient. Scope Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia communication Manuscript Submission IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/. Please submit manuscripts via the ManuscriptCentral website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee (the entry name: Special Issue: Energy Efficient Multimedia Communication) Important Dates Manuscript due: September 30, 2011 Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2012 Publication date: Q2, 2012 Guest Editors J.J.

You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the area of networking solutions for unmanned autonomous systems. The deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 07, 2011. Aims and Scope: Unmanned systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments, e.g. ground-based robotics, aerial sensor systems, space and underwater applications. In order to fulfill challenging tasks, visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. The corresponding wireless networks must provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links for the management of the behavior of the unmanned vehicles' behavior as well as data links to reliably transfer telemetry and sensor data respectively. At the same time, unmanned vehicles offer the capability to provide ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to compensate network outages in case of public events and large scale incidents. The successful first workshop at GLOBECOM 2010 focused mainly on unmanned aerial vehicles ( <http://www.wi-uav.org> www.wi-uav.org). This year's workshop addresses any kind of unmanned autonomous systems. The workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research initiatives on new communications networks enabling the efficient operation of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater and in space scenarios. Contributions addressing heterogeneous scenarios, e.g. combination of aerial and underwater devices are highly welcome. Topics: . Communication technologies and protocols for Unmanned Vehicles . Interworking with satellites and terrestrial networks . Maritime and underwater communication . Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles . Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities and swarming . Network architectures for UVs and mesh networking . Localization and vision based sense-and-avoid .

Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier: JNCA Call For Paper Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications
by Lars Wolf 04 Jun '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier: JNCA Call For Paper Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:50:05 +0900 Von: CFP <2010cfp(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ---Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message--- Elsevier Journal of Network and Computer Applications (Impact Factor: 1.111) Call for Papers Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Scope The increasing importance of vehicle and infrastructure communications is recognized by governments, highway authorities, automobile manufacturers and the academic community. Governments have allocated spectrum for vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications (e.g., DSRC or 4G cellular). Government and industry have funded large partnerships or projects such as IVI (e.g., CAMP, ACAS), ADASE2, as well as new initiatives such as IVBSS, CICAS, and VII, among others. Academic conferences and workshops on automotive networking and ITS are beginning to grow in popularity (e.g., VANET, V2VCOM, and VDTN). Standards community has been active to ensure interoperability with participation of IEEE, ISO, TIA, ASTM and major automobile manufacturers and other industrial cooperation. There are unique research challenges that need to be addressed in order for vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of automotive applications and unique features of the automotive networking leads to many interesting research areas. The wireless networking between vehicles and with infrastructure has different characteristics from other conventional wireless networking problems. For example, due to rapidly-changing topology as vehicles move around, there are resemblances to ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are very different. Power efficiency is not as important for vehicle communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). Automotive applications also demand stringent communications performance requirements that are not seen in conventional wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in automotive networking, ITS and applications to survey and collect the state-of-the-art in this emerging field. Topics of interest include: • Intelligent / interactive transport system applications • Network architectures, system architectures for ITS • Link / MAC and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols • Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. • Higher layers (application, transport) algorithms and protocols • Cross-layer protocol design • Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications • Multimedia-based ad-hoc networking & WLAN aspects • Mobility management • Vehicle movement and performance simulation • Security for automotive networking • Network management for automotive networking • Vehicle to Grid Communication • Intra-vehicle networks supporting x-by-wire applications Important Dates: Paper Submission Due: July 15, 2011 Author Notification: Sep 30, 2011 Final Paper Submission Oct 31, 2011 Publication date: 2nd Quarter 2012 Guest Editors Prof. Joel Rodrigues (Corresponding Editor) Instituto de Telecomunicações, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Email: joeljr(a)ieee.org Dr. Russel Hsing Tecordia , USA Email: thsing(a)telcordia.com Dr. Min Chen Seoul National University, Korea Email: minchen(a)ieee.org Prof. Bingli Jiao Peking University, Beijing, China Email: JIAOBL(a)pku.edu.cn Dr. Binod Vaidya University of Ottawa, Canada Email: bvaidya(a)uottawa.ca Instructions for submission: All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Wireless Green Communications and Networking Datum: Tue, 31 May 2011 18:06:53 +0200 Von: Enzo Mingozzi <e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: University of Pisa An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Computer Communications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Call for Papers Special Issue on Wireless Green Communications and Networking Scope Global energy consumption is currently one of the major concerns faced by governments worldwide, because of its significant environmental footprint and the eventual exhaustion, in a not-so-far future, of the major traditional energy sources. A major role in the "greening" effort to globally reduce energy consumption will be played by wireless networking technologies. On the one hand, wireless communication infrastructures, like the ones managed by mobile network operators, are a major contributor to the ever-increasing energy consumption of the ICT industry, which calls for the adoption of energy-efficient solutions in their design and operation. Moreover, the recent explosive growth of smartphones market adoption and the consequent mobile internet traffic requirements, predicted to raise by a factor 39x until 2014, have prompted waves of research and standard development activities to meet the expected future demands in an energy-efficient manner. On the other hand, wireless networks will also be a major component of the communication infrastructure required by other "green" solutions for the efficient management of energy, since they enable practices like telecommuting (for, e.g., traffic reduction) and remote administration (for, e.g., the Smart Energy Grid), which are expected to significantly help reduce the environmental footprint of many human activities. The aim of this special issue is to seek new and unpublished contributions addressing wireless communications and networking as a major component in the design of green solutions in both ICT and non-ICT domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Energy-efficiency in mobile and wireless access networks - Energy-efficiency in vehicular networks - Energy-efficiency in wireless sensor networks - Energy-efficient wireless network management - Cross-layer optimization of green wireless networks - Performance evaluation and modeling of green wireless networks - Standardization related to wireless green communications and networking - Green wireless network planning and optimization - Wireless networking for the Smart Grid - Wireless networking for the Green Home - Wireless networking for energy-efficient buildings - Wireless networking for energy-efficient industrial automation - Wireless networking for green intelligent transportation systems - Wireless networking for green Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication Important dates Submission date: June 30, 2011 Author notification: October 15, 2011 Expected publication: 1st quarter 2012 Guest Editors Enzo Mingozzi University of Pisa, Italy e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Xavier Perez-Costa NEC Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Xavier.Perez-Costa(a)neclab.eu Catherine Rosenberg University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada cath(a)ece.uwaterloo.ca Shugong Xu Huawei Technologies, Co.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: PerGroup@GC11 - Workshop on Pervasive Group Communication (IEEE PerGroup) Datum: Tue, 31 May 2011 01:05:21 +0200 Von: Matthias Waehlisch <waehlisch(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] CALL FOR PAPERS ** 2nd Workshop on Pervasive Group Communication (IEEE PerGroup) ** URL: http://pergroup.realmv6.org Houston, TX, USA, December, 2011, held in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2011, and co-sponsored by the German Chapter of the IEEE CE Society, G-Lab, and The unbelievable Machine Company Group communications have passed from research to deployment and back to a research issue. Newly deployed services, in particular IPTV, P2P content distribution, and collaborative applications, are stimulating current research on multicast, broadcast, concast, and anycast. Emerging design issues for a future multi-service Internet combined with the dynamic development of wireless access techonologies challenge the community to rethink the position of group communications along the stack. The PerGroup workshop invites the community to share efforts in search of seamless, pervasive group services, and to discuss directions on a human-centric multi-service Inter-networking architecture. We welcome contributions that design new solutions or analyze existing deployments, but also those that present striking problem statements or early conceptual work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: System Design & Methodology: - Architectures and protocols for fixed, wireless and ad hoc networks - Protocols and interfaces for intuitive group communications - Intra- and Inter-domain group communication - Native, overlay (including P2P) and hybrid multicast - Topology analysis & measuring, mining and modeling of - media-rich social networks - Measurement, simulation and analytical studies as well as deployment experiences Supporting Technologies: - Multipath routing / extension of emerging routing schemes - Cooperative relaying and network coding - Service placement and service location - Security and privacy issues for multicast, anycast, and broadcast - Real-time and QoS aspects Applications: - Adaptive content distribution, e.g., video broadcasting - Application-layer traffic optimization and provider interaction - Multicast & anycast in a future multi-service Internet - New data distribution models to facilitate group communication - Frameworks for human centric based group communications You will find detailed information about the very successful last year's PerGroup at http://pergroup.realmv6.org/2010/. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full paper: July 7, 2011 Notification: August 15, 2011 Final version: August 31, 2011 ---------------------- ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE ---------------------- Workshop Co-Chairs: - Thomas C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd ExtremeCom 2011 *** EXTENDED DEADLINE **** Datum: Mon, 30 May 2011 14:54:01 +0200 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)inria.fr> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Paper (CFP).] ***************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS 3rd Extreme Conference on Communication - The Amazon Expedition EXTREMECOM 2011 http://extremecom.org/ ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- *******Submission deadline: extended to June 20, 2011******** Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2011 Conference dates: September 26-30, 2011 Field experience and network deployment: September 26-28 Technical sessions: September 29-30 ***************************************************************************** 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, and ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, we now offer ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition. In this edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the deep Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. The chosen spot, which is located 21 miles (34 km) from Manaus, is known as Praia do Tupé (Tupé beach), a beautiful and remote beach accessed only by boat through the waters of the Black River. The population is composed by natives living in little communities spread around the jungle and also on the river shore. These people experience constant communication interruptions and most of them do not have any access to the Internet, which makes this area a great field of experiments for extreme and rural communications. Hosted by the Federal University Of Amazonas (UFAM) the conference will start with 3 days of immersion into the jungle where the conference participants will aid in setting up and deploying an extension of a DTN system in this area in order to provide connectivity to a new community. During this time the participants will have the chance to hike around the trails, interact with the locals and also know some natural phenomenons like the "meeting of the waters", where the black waters of the Negro River meet the brown waters of the Solimões River, flowing side by side without mixing for about 9 km. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, 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 more traditional conference venue at UFAM's facilities in Manaus. 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. 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 and the need to conduct the conference in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Edjair Mota, UFAM, Brazil JB Pinto Neto, UFAM, Brazil Alfredo Goldman, University of Sao Paolo, Brazil Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Sponsorship chair: Christian Hoene, University of Tübingen, Germany.
