(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Potential authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished work through the submission system at the journal website: http://ees.elsevier.com /fgcs/.

The Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. For MMSys 2011, a Special Session on Modern Media Transport: DASH was organized. It was very successful in terms of attendance, presentations and discussions. The match of interests between special session and main conference was very satisfying, and MMT DASH will be fully integrated into the main MMSys conference from 2012. Highly appreciated program points such as the data set track of MMSys 2011 will of course also return for MMSys 2012. MMSys 2012 will also host the Mobile Video Workshop (MoVid), which has its own web pages at http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/movid/ *** Submissions *** * Full papers: no more than 12 pages * Short papers: no more than 6 pages * Dataset papers: no more than 6 pages * Demos: no more than 6 pages Full, short and dataset papers will be presented in single track sessions. *** Dataset Track *** Datasets must be available online.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2012 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 15 Datum: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:41:03 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 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 ************************************************************************************************************** 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.

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.

IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles Datum: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:21:01 +0200 Von: IEEE GC'11 Wi-UAV <christian.wietfeld(a)tu-dortmund.de> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ________________________________________________________________________ Wi-UAV 2011 2nd Int. IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles: Architectures, Protocols and Applications in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 Houston, Texas, USA WORKSHOP DATE: DECEMBER 05, 2011 FURTHER EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JULY 19, 2011 (firm deadline) Dear colleagues, the 2nd international IEEE workshop on Wireless Networking for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (Wi-UAV 2011, www.wi-uav.org), co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Global Communications (GLOBECOM 2011), will be held in Houston, Texas, USA on December 05, 2011. 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. Due to many requests, the deadline for submissions has been extended by another 2 days. The extended deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 19, 2011 (firm). 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 (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 UVs - 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 - Mini / Micro UAVs and enhanced Health Management - Channel models and antenna design for UVs - Use of civilian networks for UVs communication - Interfaces and cross platform communication - Communication for navigation, control and guidance - Mission control centers and backend communication - QoS mechanisms and performance evaluation - Advances in remote sensing: miniaturization, low-weight and energy efficient communication - Advances in antenna design and MIMO systems - Aerial sensing, surveillance and reconnaissance - Air traffic control and spectrum regulation - Standardization, applications and services - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations (incl. live demos during workshop) Submission Guidelines and Publication: GLOBECOM workshops accept only original, previously unpublished papers. Concurrent submission to GLOBECOM and other conferences or journals is not allowed. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers in IEEE conference style up to 5 pages through EDAS submission system (http://edas.info/N10863), but one additional page is allowed with additional publication fee. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore). An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline. An accepted paper should be presented at the workshop. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program. GLOBECOM will remove an accepted and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library. Important Dates: Submission due: July 19, 2011 (FIRM!)

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.

Chang Wu-Yu <cwyu(a)chu.edu.tw> schrieb: Call for Papers The Third International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN-2011) (Beijing, China, December 16-18, 2011) http://www.chu.edu.tw/~pewin/2011 (Co-located with the 7th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2011), http://conference.bupt.edu.cn/msn11/index.htm) Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN), as an international workshop, is devoted to deeper understanding in the performance evaluation and simulation techniques of wireless networks including mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, underwater sensor networks, and all kinds of wireless networks. Wireless networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered performance evaluation and simulation issues, while traditional techniques are not sufficient to analyze, evaluate, and simulate proposed wireless algorithms or systems in the right way. For example, the algorithms and systems in vehicular ad hoc networks require a high degree of communication reliability, short communication delay, scalability, security, and privacy-preserving technologies under harsh condition. Researchers not only need to design practical distributed and centralized algorithms, but also need to introduce novel theoretical models or evaluation methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems originated from these wireless networks. The workshop is intended to encourage idea sharing and cooperation among researchers in wireless networks, and push the theoretical and practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the theoretical modeling, evaluation and analysis techniques, and simulation methods in wireless networks. PEWiN-2011 is in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2011) and all accepted papers will be published in IEEE Explore and included in EI index. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline Extension: Workshop on "Capacity Sharing" Datum: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:42:41 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> - Apologies if you receive multiple copies - =========================================================================== Submission Deadline extended to August 1, 2011 =========================================================================== Call for Contributions ---------------------- NEC Laboratories Europe and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) of the University of Stuttgart invite you to a one-day workshop on the topic ---------------- Capacity Sharing ---------------- With the increasing amount of IP traffic in fixed and mobile access networks, the question how to share the available resources in a fair, efficient and demand-oriented way becomes more and more prevalent. With the variety of services one can find in today's Internet, the requirements in rate, data volume and latency differ strongly. To maximize resource utilization and, at the same time, provide satisfying performance to all users, application layer knowledge is needed. As different resource allocation and adaptation mechanisms already exist in MAC, transport and application layer, an integral consideration of the problem space is required. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. Because large over-provisioning factors are economically unfeasible, similar questions on capacity sharing also arise in fixed access networks, such as high bandwidth passive optical networks or cable networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders of mobile and fixed access networks, the classic Internet world and of the application and transport community. We solicit presentations on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We are especially looking forward to (possibly provocative) visionary presentations to foster a lively discussion about how to face the upcoming challenges in the future mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Related standardization activities and projects Submission Information ---------------------- Please inform the workshop organizers by email to about title and abstract (max. 1 page) of your planned presentation. The number of slots is limited. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for contributions: August 1, 2011. Registration to the workshop: September 15, 2011. Workshop date: October 13, 2011.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Authors] CfP Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Datum: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 13:41:56 +0100 Von: Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> Antwort an: Authors of IM, NOMS & CNSM <authors(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: authors(a)inf.ufsc.br ***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, telecommunication 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 UrbanApplications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. **Important Dates** Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First Notification: March 1, 2012 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 **Guest Editors of the Special Issue** Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, U
