-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: CCNC 2012 Workshop on Densely Connected Networks (DCN) Datum: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:25:24 +0000 Von: Haiyong Xie <haiyong.xie(a)huawei.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS –- NEW DEADLINE September 15, 2011 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Densely Connected Networks (DCN) IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2012 (IEEE CCNC 2012) Jan 14, 2012, Las Vegas, NV, USA www.ieee-ccnc.org/2012 ============================================================ Goals and Topics Recently there has been an emerging trend that networks expand the coverage to home networks, personal networks, in-vehicle networks, etc. In such networks, there exist complex interactions among context-specific servers, various sensors and a large number of appliances and equipments. The network resources in such densely connected networks can become very much scarce especially when they are interconnected; furthermore, emerging applications such as peer-to-peer and streaming applications are typically oblivious to the complex structure of underlying networks and can easily abuse the scarce resources. Additionally, energy saving can become a key factor in network design. In wireline networks, proposals such as application-layer traffic optimization have become well-known potential solutions to addressing similar challenges; however, these approaches are no longer sufficient to address the more fundamental technical challenges in densely connected networks. The goal of this workshop is to provide a dedicated forum and community for researchers and engineers to share the state-of-the-art innovations and developments on the emerging densely connected networks. In particular, the workshop will focus on technical challenges in and emerging architecture for densely connected networks where a significantly large number of tethered and mobile devices are connected and on top of which applications unaware of the complexity of underlying networks try to compete for the resources in an uncooperative fashion. The workshop seeks submissions in the general areas of networking, content management, systems and applications that relate to dense networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Network architecture and its evolution of densely connected networks * Content dissemination via dense connectivity * Statistics, measurement, and evaluations of application-specific resource usage * Cooperative mechanisms via explicit or implicit communications * Caching mechanisms and system design in content dissemination for densely connected networks * Incentive models and dynamics of cooperation * Demonstration, prototype, deployment of cooperative frameworks * Performance measurement of cooperative network design * Network design that encourages cooperation and optimizes resource usage * Joint optimization for network and applications * Energy saving in densely connected networks Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation. Manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column) and not exceed 5 pages in length. Submission of papers should be regarded as a commitment such that, if accepted, at least one author of the paper will register and attend the conference; otherwise it will be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after the conference. Papers should be submitted in .pdf format via the EDAS paper submission website by selecting the workshop submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets @ IEEE CCNC - 2012 (Deadline Extended: Sep. 11) Datum: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:52:28 +0200 Von: Martin Jacobsson <jacobsson.martin(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: m.jacobsson(a)ewi.tudelft.nl Organisation: TU Delft An: tccc <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> The paper submission deadline has been extended until September 11, 2012 (firm deadline). Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. **************************************************************************************************** Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2012) January 14-17, 2012 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Submission instructions at: http://edas.info/N11047 Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: September 11, 2011 (extended deadline) Notification of Acceptance: September 30, 2011 Camera-Ready Submissions: October 10, 2011 **************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website - http://edas.info/N11047 The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: MMSJ special issue on Network and Systems Support for Games Datum: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:19:11 +0200 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call for Papers: Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ) Special Issue on Network and Systems Support for Games URL: http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~shervin/netgamessi/ Computer games, now a very profitable economic sector and subject to both academic and industry research, continue to grow in popularity at a substantial rate. Multiplayer networked games, which enable hundreds of thousands of players to simultaneously interact with each other, are now widely used not just for entertainments, but also for socializing, business, commerce, scientific experimentation, and many other practical purposes. The NPD Group reports that 59% of total US population (ages 2 years old and higher) play games, with 56% of them doing so online, leading to almost one third of the population playing online games, while DFC Intelligence forecasts the total number of gamers in the twenty leading online game countries to increase 51% by 2011 compared to 2006. The statistics for mobile gaming are equally impressive: it is estimated that 78.6 million people in the U.S. alone played mobile games in 2009, and downloads of mobile games increased tenfold compared to 2003. Literally millions of people spend their time and money in game worlds such as World of Warcraft, which now hosts more than 12 million subscribers with a peak of 500,000 players online at a given time, or Entropia Universe, which holds the number 1 and number 2 record for the most expensive “virtual” real estate sold for real money, each over US$300,000 per virtual property. As these online games become more popular and significant contributors to Internet traffic, research needs to be devoted to manage and support the emerging massiveness, its traffic on the network, and the users’ quality of experience. In this special issue, we focus on multiplayer games and cover scientific, engineering, and research topics in systems and networking support to enable such games. Submissions are solicited on all aspects of networked games, including (but not limited to): - Scalability, cloud support, client-server, and P2P system architectures - Efficient message distribution and network protocol design - Latency issues and lag compensation techniques - Network traffic modeling, measurement, and impact on network infrastructure - System benchmarking, performance evaluation, and provisioning - Operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware - Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming (MMOG) - Multiplayer usability and user behavior studies - Personal communications and conferencing in games - Mobile games, resource-constrained systems, and context-based adaptation - Networks of sensors, actuators, and haptics for games - Quality of service, quality of experience, and content adaptation - Dynamic and user-generated content authoring and management - Content creation: non-linear storytelling, object capturing, algorithmic creation - Security, authentication, accounting, and digital rights management - Cheat detection and prevention - Social networking in multiplayer games ---- Submission Instructions ---- Authors must follow the formatting and submission instructions of MMSJ at http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems+and+applications/journ… and follow the "Submit Online" link on that page. Please make sure you mention in your cover letter that you are submitting to this special issue. If the submission is an extended version of a previously published workshop or conference paper, this should also be explicitly mentioned in the cover letter, the published paper must be cited in the submitted journal paper, and the submitted journal paper must technically extend the conference version, by 30% according to MMSJ rules; i.e., the technical contribution in the journal version must be extended beyond what was presented in the conference version. ---- Important Dates ---- Submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First round notification: January 15, 2012 ---- Guest editors ---- Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Carsten Griwodz, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Grenville Armitage, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia ############################ To unsubscribe from the MM-INTEREST list: write to: mailto:MM-INTEREST-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@LISTSERV.ACM.ORG or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.EXE?SUBED1=MM-INTEREST&A=1

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:06:07 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================================= Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =================================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: ·Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks ·Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks ·Resource management for machine and robotic networks ·Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing ·Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks ·Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks ·Cognitive machine and robotic networks ·Bio-inspired networking in robotics ·Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots ·Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEENetwork, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later.

A Mobile ad hoc network (Manet) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be internetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure, or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks (with hundreds of nodes) to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Dynamic topologies, Bandwidth constraints, Energy-constrained operations, Wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate Mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multihop networks. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline 6 September 2011 for publication in the IEEE ICC 2012 Conference Proceedings and for oral or poster presentation(s).

However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment --- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: • Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and Experience • Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications • Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. • Correlating measurements across multiple layers • Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals • Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience • Measurements for Security and Privacy • Distributed and Inter-domain measurements • Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements • Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability • Measurement technology for software-based routers • Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services • Measurements in Home Networks • Measurement Visualization • Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure • New Measurement Initiatives • Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results • Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis • Measurement Data Management Important Dates: Abstract Submission: September 7, 2011 Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 Notification: November 22, 2011 Camera Ready due: December 22, 2011 Organizers General Chair Fabio Ricciato, FTW and University of Salento Program Chair Nina Taft, Technicolor Research, Palo Alto (USA) Local Arrangements Chair Philipp Svoboda, TU Wien Publicity Chair Antonio Pescapè, University of Napoli Federico II ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

There is growing interest in using V2V or V2I communications to enable ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services which can range from time-critical safety services, traffic management, to infotainment and local advertising services. How to effectively and efficiently disseminate information in a timely and reliable manner is critical to ITS services. However, the unique characteristics of vehicle networks present challenges in achieving service performance. Applicable information dissemination technologies may include delay tolerant approaches, data aggregation methods and routing schemes to mitigate congestion on the wireless medium, maintain network connectivity and improve overall communication performance. The impact and significance of such technologies for varying degrees of V2V and V2I connectivity and for va rying deployment scenarios are also critical. This session seeks to provide a forum to present and discuss original relevant research results. Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All the submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Please submit the paper through EDAS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] FW: 2nd Call for Papers -2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA) Datum: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 10:17:48 +0000 Von: Fergus, Paul <P.Fergus(a)ljmu.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 2nd Call for Papers 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA) 14th January 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada Satellite Workshop of 9th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference Goals and Topics Healthcare globally is going through a major transition that promises to provide the unprecedented delivery of services in new and novel ways. Medical infrastructures, built on advances in information and communication technologies (ICT), aim to fully distribute services in a much more flexible way. This will enable the seamless flow of information within and amongst medical facilities, practitioners and service users. ICT will ensure that services are highly available and provide enriched information. Multiple modes of interaction will be possible and this will all happen regardless of a user’s location or the devices they use. This vision is commonly referred to as eHealth and is one of the most rapidly growing areas in health today with an estimated annual budget of Euros 17.4 billion in Europe and $36 billion in the US. The drive towards this growth in interest can be directly attributed to the fact that healthcare is becoming increasingly more difficult to sustain because of the rising costs associated with people living longer and an increase in diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. This presents a unique opportunity to develop new and novel platforms services and applications that exploit information within and across the healthcare sector to significantly improve the quality of patient care and improve and execute clinical processes more efficiently. This will help to form a closer relationship between healthcare providers and service users and fundamentally help support people in their daily lives. Furthermore, it addresses the growing problem of healthcare seclusion amongst rural areas and low-income nations where they too, through eHealth, can benefit from life-critical information, help, support and training. All this has the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the potential criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of ICT in health. Yet eHealth presents a unique and high impacting application of ICT. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools and this comes at a time where sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of next generation consumer eHealth platforms, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: * Wearable and implantable sensors * Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare * Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data * Wireless Communications in Healthcare * Energy harvesting * Wireless Body Area Networks * Wearable home based health monitoring technologies * Ambient Assistive Living * Wireless Homecare * Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) * Personal Healthcare (pHealth) * Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring * Semantic Web and Healthcare * Standards and Frameworks * Interoperability * Human to machine interfaces * Middleware for eHealth * Service and Device Discovery * Telemedicine * Clinical Applications and evaluations * Healthcare applications for chronic disease management * Health promotion and disease prevention * Support solutions for cognitive decline * Support for physical defects * Usability issues * Assistive Devices * Activity Recognition * Telerehabilitation * Electronic Patient Record * Implementations and case studies * Bioinformatics * Clinical Decision Support Systems * Clinical Informatics * Consumer Health Informatics * eHealth Grids * Privacy and Security Issues in Healthcare * Data Protection Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

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.

Paper submission deadline: August 25th 2010 *********************************************************** Call for Papers M-MPAC 2011 ----------- Third International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/M-MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2011 Lisbon, Portugal 12-16 December 2011 Workshop Scope & Themes ----------------------- Building on the success of M-MPAC 2009 and 2010 this event aims to carry on development of a research roadmap on essential middleware abstractions, platforms and applications for pervasive mobile and embedded systems. In recent year, tablet devices and operating systems have gained a prominent spot in the limelight, while the smart phone landscape continues to change with new offerings supporting a variety of sensors, higher resolution and bigger size screens, high definition video recording and playback, and enhanced gaming. Embedded devices like televisions, TV set top boxes, and game consoles have grown beyond their original functionality to home multimedia systems supporting enhanced networking (e.g. IP TV and DNLA), and novel user interaction through 3D displays, and movement detection based controllers. The pervasiveness of such mobile and embedded devices has given rise to a variety of novel applications, such as social web applications, enhanced shopping applications/environments, ad-hoc gaming, context-aware collaborative computing,participatory sensing, etc. Access to cloud computing infrastructures further enhances the capabilities of these devices offering additional opportunities for innovative applications and uses. Despite these successes, software development for such devices and platforms remains largely ad hoc, while interoperability among applications, devices and platforms is largely elusive. Middleware has a key role to play in overcoming these problems. However, it still unclear what are the appropriate middleware abstractions and supporting infrastructures necessary for such applications. The resource constrained nature and mobility of such devices place unique requirements for middleware and necessitate the exploration of novel programming abstractions, and supporting services, while capabilities like location and context-awareness open new avenues for radical approaches in their development. In this context, the main workshop themes include, but are not limited to the following themes: * Device platforms - Virtualization technologies & applications - Distributed ensembles - Interaction paradigms and protocols - Emerging mobile platforms (e.g. Android, IOS) - Virtual machines * Data issues - Data formats and encoding - Availability and durability of data in personal networks - Synchronization of personal devices with other consumer electronics (e.g. cameras, iPods) - Data portability * Networking - Emerging wireless technologies and platforms - Experiences or case studies with new technologies (WiMax, WiBree, LTE, etc) and devices (MIP, UMPC, wearables, etc) - Multi-link scenarios: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network - Quality of service and network selection * Security and Privacy - Privacy preservation and identity management for device-to-device interactions - Security architectures balancing risk and utility - Trust management in device ensembles - Mobile device data security * Mobile Web - Web architectures (REST, Ajax) in pervasive computing - Context adaptation/management in pervasive computing - Mobile web scalability and reliability in access - Content adaptation on mobile devices - Collaborative search * Adaptability - Context-awareness, location monitoring - Resource management, cyber foraging, and energy-awareness - Using cloud infrastructures for computing-intensive tasks and data storage - Autonomics and self-* properties * Applications - Healthcare, entertainment, games, mobile TV, smart spaces, shopping, street navigation, etc. - Mobile phones in sensor and ad hoc networks - Application development on mobile and embedded devices - Programming models * Experiences and case studies - Lessons from deployments - User experiences and field-trials - Performance studies Submission ---------- Submissions must not exceed 6 pages and must be formatted using the ACM proceeding style (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF at http:/www.cis.strath.ac.uk/external/m-mpac2011/openconf/ Papers should present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in a special workshop proceedings volume in the ACM Digital Library. The publication of the best workshop submissions and the research roadmap in the style of previous events is under investigation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE ICC'2012 Communication and Information System Security (CISS) Symposium Datum: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:03:37 +0000 Von: Abderrahim Benslimane <abderrahim.benslimane(a)univ-avignon.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 2012 10-15 June 2012, Ottawa, Canada Communication and Information System Security (CISS) Symposium Call for Papers [Topics of Interest] The Communication and Information System Security (CISS) Symposium seeks original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topics: - Access control - Accounting and auditing - Anomaly detection - Botnets identification and mitigation - Anonymization and privacy in communication networks - Applied cryptography - Authentication - Computer and network forensics - Critical infrastructure security - Cloud computing for/with security - Cross-layer methods for enhancing security - Deep packet inspection - Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and countermeasures - Distributed systems security - Fingerprinting of devices and services - Flow-based security analysis - Information hiding and watermarking - Internet security - Intrusion detection, localization, and avoidance - IPv6 and transition security - Key distribution and management - Malware analysis - Network Risk Management - Network forensics - Network security metrics and performance evaluation - Peer-to-peer system security - Privacy-preserving techniques - Security and privacy in social networks - Security modeling and protocol design - Security and privacy policies - Security of Cyber-physical systems - Security for RFID - Security for SCADA Systems - Self-healing networks - Sensor network security - Smart cards and secure hardware - Social networks security/privacy - Trust models and trust management - Vulnerability, exploitation tools, and virus/worm analysis - Web, e-commerce, m-commerce, and e-mail security - Wi-Fi and WiMAX security - Wireless and Mobile networking security [Scope and Motivation] With the advent of the Internet of Things and the ubiquitous sharing of and access to networked content, computer and network security has become a primary concern for individuals, industry, and governments. For example, sensitive information can potentially be copied, altered or injected for malicious purposes, e.g., taking advantage of sensitive information or stealing/abusing digital identities. There is also a growing risk that computer and network attacks will be deployed to disturb or even severely impact important infrastructure components like communication systems, power grids, or traffic control systems in order to cause significant economic damages. In addition to these, there is a growing awareness of privacy concerns, regarding individual users as well as corporate and/or governmental organizations. Therefore, new approaches to information security, availability protection, and privacy management are required to be tightly integrated into IT and communication systems. The CISS Symposium will address all aspects of modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management of computer/network security algorithms, protocols, services, architectures, and systems. Envisaged contributions to CISS symposium target all security aspects of wired networks (electrical/optical) as well as wireless networks: 3G/4G, satellite, WLAN, WiMAX, Ad hoc, vehicular, RFID, and sensor networks, considering all layers from the physical to the application layer (including middleware and peer-to-peer systems).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers - IEEE/IFIP WONS 2012 Datum: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:41:04 +0200 Von: REINERI MASSIMO <massimo.reineri(a)polito.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. ********* CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2012 ********* The Nineth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Technical sponsorship: IEEE, IEEE ComSoc, IFIP, EURO-NF, TREND January 9-11, 2012. Courmayeur, Italy http://wons2012.tlc.polito.it Scope of the conference As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, machine-2-machine networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Theory, Algorithms and Applications of Wireless Networked Robotics Datum: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:12:02 +0200 Von: Enrico Natalizio <enatalizio(a)deis.unical.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elsevier Journal of Ad Hoc Networks (Impact Factor: 1.592) Call for Papers * Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Theory, Algorithms and Applications of Wireless Networked Robotics* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- *Overview:* -------------- Teams of heterogeneous devices pursuing a common objective are envisioned to be a viable and effective solution for many civil, societal and military applications. 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 --------------------------------------------- *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. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as "SI - Wireless Networked Robotics" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The EES website is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/ All papers will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the guest editors. ------------------------- *Guest Editors: * ------------------------- Enrico Natalizio (Corresponding Editor), INRIA Lille - Nord Europe - France enrico.natalizio AT inria.fr Gianni Di Caro, IDSIA - Switzerland gianni AT idsia.ch Ahmet Sekercioglu, Monash University - Australia ahmet.sekercioglu AT monash.edu Evsen Yanmaz, University of Klagenfurt - Austria evsen.yanmaz AT uni-klu.ac.at ------------------------------ *Important Dates: * ------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: *October 31st, 2011* First round of notification: *January 30th, 2012* Final Manuscript Due: *March 30th, 2012* --------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
