If you want an announcement relevant to the computer networks research community to appear in this forum, please send me a message before the 1st of each month. MAILING LIST POLICIES: This mailing list is for disseminating information of interest to the general SIGCOMM membership. To keep information content high and scope narrow, direct posts are restricted to events that are sponsored by SIGCOMM. Due to the wide variety of topics in networking, it focuses on relatively "mainstream" networking conferences and workshops. In particular, due to the large number of venues in the wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor areas, unless an event is sponsored or in-cooperation with SIGCOMM, we do not advertize those topics, since there are many other mechanisms and communities for doing so. SENDING ME MAIL: This email address gets about 2500 emails a month, 99.999 percent of which is SPAM. please put [SIGCOMM] at the beginning of the Subject: header, otherwise I will not see it. SENDING TO THE MAILING LIST: This is a moderated mailing list that requires my approval to post. Again, due to spam, I don't approve requests to post to the list. Instead, send the request to me as described above. - Neil Spring infodir_sigcomm (at) acm.org (unless urgent) SIGCOMM Information Services Director ------------------------------------------------------------------ SIGCOMM News Contents: 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ITU Kaleidoscope 2011: The fully networked human? - Innovations for future networks and services, 12-14 Dec 2011, Cape Town Datum: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 11:03:47 +0200 Von: <Martin.Adolph(a)itu.int> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ******************************************************************************** ITU Kaleidoscope 2011: The fully networked human? - Innovations for future networks and services Conference website: http://itu-kaleidoscope.org/2011 Submission deadline: 15 May 2011 Conference date: 12-14 December 2011 Conference venue: University of Cape Town, South Africa ******************************************************************************** ==The Conference== Kaleidoscope 2011 The fully networked human? − Innovations for future networks and services − is the fourth in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized by ITU that brings together a wide range of ideas and views from universities, industry and research institutions of different fields. The previous editions were held in Switzerland, Argentina and India. The aim of Kaleidoscope is to identify emerging developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) at an early stage, to generate successful products and services through the development of international and open standards. ICTs have already changed the way we live, work, learn, think and communicate. Ever smaller and smarter sensors proliferate, wireless networks are omnipresent, and smartphones are abundant. In the future, the impact of ICTs will be further amplified through the increasing deployment of ubiquitous/pervasive/human-centric computing and ambient intelligence. In this environment, the user is placed at the center, and virtualized networks, other IT resources, services and applications are adaptively and automatically configured to support the users in carrying out their everyday life activities. Besides many technical issues to be addressed, this also raises serious questions about access to ICTs, privacy, interoperability and sustainability. Future technologies should be designed to benefit humans, not the other way round. To address these issues, standards are indispensable. Developing these standards will require concerted efforts by many stakeholders, including relevant UN agencies. This conference shall help to further such collaborations. The fully networked human? − Innovations for future networks and services is calling for original academic papers offering innovative and bold approaches in research and development to integrate the real and the digital worlds. ==Audience== Kaleidoscope 2011 is targeted at all specialists with a role in the field, including researchers, academics, students, engineers, policy-makers and regulators, innovators and futurists from all over the world. ==Date and venue== 12-14 December 2011, Cape Town, South Africa ==Submission of papers== Prospective authors, from countries that are members of ITU, are invited to submit complete, original papers with a maximum length of 4,500 words within eight pages including summary and references, using the template available on the event website. All papers will be reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process and handled electronically; see http://itu-kaleidoscope.org/2011 for the online submission (EDAS). ==Deadlines== Submission of full paper proposals: 15 May 2011 Notification of paper acceptance: 30 July 2011 Submission of camera-ready accepted papers: 10 September 2011 ==Publication and presentation== Accepted papers will be presented during the event, published in the proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. The best papers will be evaluated for potential publication in IEEE Communications Magazine. ==Awards== Awards of USD 5k, 3k and 2k will be granted to selected best papers, as judged by the organizing and programme committees. In addition, young authors presenting accepted papers will receive a Young Author Recognition certificate. ==General Chair== Mostafa Hashem Sherif (AT&T, US) ==Organizing Committee== Chairman: Mostafa Hashem Sherif (AT&T, US) - Tohru Asami (University of Tokyo, JP) - Ashok Chandra (Ministry of Communications & IT, IN) - Christoph Dosch (IRT, DE) - Linda Garcia (Georgetown University, US) - Yoshikazu Ikeda (Otani University, JP) - Chae-Sub Lee (ETRI, KR) - Kai Jakobs (RWTH Aachen University, DE) - Mitsuji Matsumoto (Waseda University, JP) - Yushi Naito (Mitsubishi Electric, JP) - Ramjee Prasad (Aalborg University, DK) - Felipe Rudge Barbosa (University of Campinas, BR) - Helmut Schink (Nokia Siemens Networks, DE) - Alfredo Terzoli (Rhodes University, ZA) - Daniele Trinchero (Politecnico di Torino, IT) ==Programme Committee== Chairman: Kai Jakobs (RWTH Aachen University, DE) The Programme Committee is composed of over 100 subject matter experts worldwide.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in emerging the Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Connecting different WSNs is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of many sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance. Also, an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as the connection between WSNs and connectivity issues. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Sensor deployment and connectivity issues - Integration of WSN and RFID - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - InterconnectingWSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Authentication, vulnerability, protection, and security issues - Fault-tolerance and dependability of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues - Routing and network protocols - Medium access control protocols - Transport protocols for congestion control, and Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guidelines and policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be peer reviewed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CfP: SUBICO 2011 Workshop bei GI-Jahrestagung in Berlin (Deadline 24.04.2011) Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:45:52 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de> Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen ==================================== Sozio-technisches Systemdesign im Zeitalter des Ubiquitous Computing (SUBICO 2011) Workshop im Rahmen der INFORMATIK 2011 – Informatik schafft Communities 41. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik 4.10. – 7.10.2011 TU Berlin http://goto.uni-kassel.de/subico2011 Zielsetzung Die persönliche Lebensgestaltung ist heute von IT-Anwendungen durchdrungen. Das Internet gehört bereits zum Alltag vieler Menschen; das mobile Internet bietet uns schon heute an praktisch jedem Ort Zugang zu Informationen und Diensten. Diese allgegenwärtige technische Vernetzung hat das Wesen unserer sozialen Netze bereits stark beeinflusst und wird sie auch in Zukunft um neue Formen der Kommunikation und Interaktion bereichern. Mit den Möglichkeiten der ubiquitären Informationsverarbeitung (Ubiquitous Computing) rücken zudem Anwendungen und Dienste in den Vordergrund, bei denen die zur Erbringung notwendigen Computer immer stärker mit unserer alltäglichen Lebensumgebung verschmelzen und höchstens noch peripher wahrgenommen werden. Damit entsteht eine neue Art der vernetzten Interaktion und Informationsverarbeitung, die sowohl in technischer als auch sozialer Hinsicht gestaltet werden muss, um rechtskonforme und sozialverträgliche Anwendungen zu erhalten. Die sozialverträgliche Gestaltung von Systemen benötigt interdiszplinäre, den Funktionen des Ubiquitous Computing und den Zielsetzungen der Gestaltung angepasste Entwicklungsmethoden. Der Workshop richtet sich aufgrund der interdisziplinären Problemstellung an Forscher, Entwickler und Führungskräfte aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen (Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, HCI; Recht, usw.), die sich mit der Gestaltung von zukünftigen, ubiquitären IT-Systemen beschäftigen. Der Workshop soll zur Vernetzung der Disziplinen beitragen, eine Basis für gemeinsame Methoden und Werkzeuge liefern und ein Diskussionsforum für sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung bieten. Mögliche Themen Die interdisziplinäre Ausrichtung des Workshops beinhaltet ein breites Themenspektrum. Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing bilden die Grundlage für zukunftsfähige Anwendungen. Dazu gehören Kontextsensitivität, Situationserkennung und Adaptivität, die es Anwendungen ermöglichen, auf Veränderungen in der Umwelt und der Benutzerpräferenzen zu reagieren und sich geeignet an unterschiedliche Situationen zu adaptieren. Durch die vielfältige Sensorik, mit der benutzerspezifische Daten erfasst werden, haben ubiquitäre Systeme einen großen Einfluss auf das soziale Gefüge. Eine sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung ist hier unabdingbar. Dabei ist neben den eingesetzten neuartigen Interaktionskonzepten und Benutzerschnittstellen vor allem die Berücksichtigung der Akzeptanz ubiquitärer Anwendungen zu nennen. Diese kann zum Beispiel durch eine Erhöhung des Vertrauens in die Anwendung realisiert werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die konsequente Berücksichtigung rechtlicher Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung. Bei der sozialverträglichen Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme müssen vorher genannte Aspekte im Entwicklungsprozess Berücksichtigung finden. Dazu bedarf es passender Methoden und Techniken. Zusätzlich verlangt die Entwicklung ubiquitärer Systeme nach Werkzeugen, die eine effektive Umsetzung von neuen Anwendungsideen ermöglichen. Es werden Beiträge erbeten, die vor allem, aber nicht ausschließlich, folgende Themen ansprechen: - Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing * Kontextsensitivität als Grundlage ubiquitärer Anwendungen * Adaptivität mobiler und ubiquitärer Anwendungen * Wissensentdeckung - Sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung * Interaktionskonzepte und Benutzerschnittstellen * Akzeptanz und Vertrauen in neue IT-Systeme * Rechtliche Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung * gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen ubiquitärer Systeme - Entwicklungsmethoden für ubiquitäre Systeme - Werkzeuge zur Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme - Anwendungsbeispiele Wichtige Termine 24.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Wireless Health 2011 - Final Call for Papers & First Call for Demos Datum: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:47:18 -0400 Von: John Lach <jlach(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: John Lach <jlach(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.) WIRELESS HEALTH 2011 Final Call for Papers & First Call for Demos October 10-13, 2011 San Diego, California Hosted by the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance In cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE, AIMBE, BMES, and the UCSD Institute of Engineering in Medicine www.wirelesshealth2011.org The Wireless Health annual conference series convenes the vanguard international research communities in Wireless Health technology and medical research with the rapidly expanding Wireless Health product and service industry, government leadership and policy makers. This conference provides the highest profile academic and industrial research forum for the new field of Wireless Health. The mission of the Wireless Health conference is to include and promote an international community that will accelerate the development and adoption of this new vision for healthcare. Central to this objective is to create a nurturing research forum that communicates the latest developments in the field, creates an opportunity for cross fertilization, and provides an archival venue for the progress being achieved. This second in the series of the Wireless Health conference seeks to build upon the success of Wireless Health 2010, which included more than 400 attendees from academia, industry, government, and press. Wireless Health 2010 included an outstanding set of peer-reviewed papers, interactive workshops, industrial and academic application demonstrations, topical panel discussions, and world renowned invited speakers. PAPER SUBMISSION Abstracts Due: April 15, 2011 Papers Due: April 22, 2011 Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2011 The organizing committee invites submission of papers for peer review that have the potential for substantive impact on the field of Wireless Health, including papers with highly innovative engineering solutions for Wireless Health and papers with a focus on applications of Wireless Health in clinical settings. Papers should be of interest to both technology and medical domain experts. Papers should clearly articulate the knowledge contributions in both of these fields, requiring treatment of both technology and medical issues. However, it is recommended that papers be organized such that the overall structure (introduction, methodology, results, contributions, etc.) be comprehensible by the diverse Wireless Health audience and that technical details be confined to specific sections so that all readers are able to appreciate the overall contributions of the paper. This year, the Wireless Health features a new paper type called Vanguard. Vanguard papers are expected to present less developed, but highly innovative ideas. Vanguard papers are shorter in length with less extensive results, yet they should present high impact Wireless Health ideas targeting fundamental issues in engineering and medical sciences. Paper topics include but are not limited to: Wireless Health Theory, Systems, and Technology -Information systems including architectures, integrating sensing, signal processing, sensor data fusion, and related technologies -Innovative event/resource aware technologies, including compressive sensing -Novel communication systems, including in-vivo, on-body, near-body networks -System design innovations and optimizations in system performance, energy, operating lifetime, reliability, sensing integrity, privacy, and security -Wearable system architectures and hardware systems -Enterprise system and database technology in medical informatics -Wireless Health individual and community guidance technology and systems -Wireless Health end-to-end quality of service -Energy scavenging technologies Wireless Health Clinical Applications -Medical science driven applications based on personal monitoring and guidance in the areas of health promotion, disease detection and management, geriatric and rehabilitative care, pharmaceutical management, etc. -Assistive technologies for geriatric subjects, the disabled, and for rehabilitation -Wireless Health applications for consumer applications and athletics -Protecting the health of first responders and service personnel The Conference Proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submitted papers should be no longer than 10 pages in the ACM conference format posted on the conference website. Vanguard papers are limited to 2 pages. Papers must contain original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. Following the conference, authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems for a special issue on Wireless Health. Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards will be presented at the conference. DEMO SUBMISSION Demo Extended Abstracts Due: June 1, 2011 Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2011 Technical demonstrations will highlight the many innovative solutions in Wireless Health that represent both advances in fundamental components and complete systems serving individuals and communities. Technical demonstrations will include two types: Wireless Health Research Demonstrations: These demonstrations will primarily include academic, government, and industrial research advances and prototype systems enabling future Wireless Health products and systems. Wireless Health Products and System Demonstrations: These demonstrations will primarily include new commercial products and systems developed by the Wireless Health industry and government agencies. Demo submissions will be evaluated based on a 2 page extended abstract in the ACM conference format posted on the conference website. In addition to the abstract, a video file showing the demonstration may also be included, but is not required for selection. The abstract and video files can be zipped into one package, or videos can also be made available at a public URL for download with the URL address cited in the abstract. Accepted abstracts will be included in the Conference Proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library. A Best Demo award will be presented at the conference.

However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for Sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Broadband Wireless Communications for High Speed Vehicles Datum: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 11:40:55 +0800 Von: Zhou Yi Qing <yqzhou(a)eee.hku.hk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. A submission system has been set up in EDAS. The acronym of this issue is BWCHST. ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Broadband Wireless Communications for High Speed Vehicles (BWCHST) With the development of mobile communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE), WiMax and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced, broadband wireless multimedia services will be prevalent in the near future. Meanwhile, high speed vehicles such as airplanes and high speed trains play an increasingly important role in people’s lives, since they provide a relatively stable and spacious environment for long distance travel. As a result, there will be a strong demand for broadband wireless communications (BWC) for high speed vehicles to provide information and onboard entertainment services to passengers. BWC is also needed in vehicle control systems for operational information such as fault sensor measurements and diagnostics, video surveillance, and so on. Interesting research areas and various challenges arise when designing BWC systems for high speed vehicles. For example, a new network structure is needed since a direct transmission signal between the passenger and infrastructure-base-station experiences serious deterioration when traveling through the speeding vehicle. Distributed antenna and radio over fiber can be employed for vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Moreover, due to the lack of accurate channel information, innovative radio resource allocation schemes are also needed at the infrastructure-base-station to assign resources to high speed vehicles. The fast movement of high speed vehicles through cellular networks causes frequent handovers and drop-offs, degrading the user experience. This prompts the need for designing fast and reliable handover and random access schemes. In addition, novel physical layer techniques of BWC in high speed mobile environments need to be considered. In particular, there is a strong need to evaluate the effect of Doppler spread and revisit the noncoherent coding, modulation and MIMO schemes. Therefore, BWC for high speed vehicles is a pressing research topic that has huge applications. It is imperative to develop the key techniques enabling BWC for high speed vehicles. The goal of this issue is to bring together the most updated research contributions in this area.

Special Issue on "Security in Cooperative Vehicular Networks", Security and Communication Networks (Wiley Online Library, ISSN: 1939-0114, SCIE indexed journal): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sec.292/pdf Recent technologies of wireless cooperative vehicular networks supporting Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications have become a cornerstone of Intelligent Transport Systems that will bring the promise of improved road safety and comfortable/infotainment driving environments with IEEE 802.11p.Wireless cooperative vehicular networking is one of the most interesting and active research topics, which is requiring vital efforts from both the industry and the academia. In particular, studies on secure broadcasting and routing for V2V and V2I communications, authenticating messages and vehicles, authorizing users to services, and location privacy of users have posed various challenges. These challenges require to develop applicable authentication approaches for messages and vehicles and authorization approaches for users as well as improved anonymous mechanisms for preventing the exposure of identity and location. Especially, IPv6 enabled V2V and V2I communications are requiring network level security mechanisms including secure binding between the permanent and temporary addresses of vehicles key distribution and location privacy with regard to IPv6 tunnel management, securing end-to-end communication, authentication in the IPv6 access network, etc. This special issue is intended to disseminate the latest research results in emergent security issues, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in wireless cooperative vehicular networking. Especially, this special issue will not only focus on security mechanisms for IEEE 802.11p based V2V and V2I communications, but also address security mechanisms for IPv6 enabled V2V and V2I communications. Accordingly, this special issue will bring together the industry and academia working on security issues related to wireless cooperative vehicular networking and highlight future directions. Main Topics of this Special Issue *Secure Broadcasting for V2V and V2I Communications *Secure Multi-hop Routing for V2V and V2I Communications *Secure Geographic Addressing and Routing (GeoNetworking) *Secure Service Discovery Mechanisms in Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Trustable Broadcasting and Multi-hop Routing for V2V and V2I Communications *Authentication and Authorization for Messages, Vehicles, and Users *Access Control for Vehicles and Users *Location Privacy Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Identity Management Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Incentive Management Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Formal Security Validation Model for Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Performance Analysis Model for Security Mechanisms for Cooperative Vehicular Networks.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. We solicit papers addressing the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, ...) - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Important dates: --------------------- Abstract Registration: 6 May 2011 Submission Deadline: 13 May 2011 Acceptance notification: 28 June 2011 We look forward to receiving your submission, -- Ahmed Helmy and Franck Legendre Chants'11 TPC Co-Chairs_____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [HotPlanet'11] submission deadline extended Datum: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:15:06 +0100 Von: Michal Piorkowski <michal.piorkowski(a)USI.CH> Antwort an: michal.piorkowski(a)usi.ch An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies for crossposting. Due to many requests we are extending the submission deadline for HotPlanet'11 workshop until the 7th of April 2011. Please note that the paper registration deadline is extended until the 31st of March 2011. ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement HOT PLANET 2011 Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2011, 28 June 2011, Washington DC USA http://www.hotplanetconf.net/ ========================================================================= It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad-hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following two successful editions of the workshop at ACM MobiSys 2009 and 2010, the third HotPlanet workshop will not only challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces but also to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques. Mobility Data Contest sponsored by Google ----------------------------------------- To make the whole event even more interesting, we will hold a competition for all the participants of the MobiSys conference and the associated workshops. The contest is sponsored by Google and you can find more details about it on the workshop website (http://www.hotplanetconf.net) under the 'Contest' section. The ceremony for the winners will take place during the last day of the ACM MobiSys conference. Important dates: ---------------- Paper registration deadline: March 31, 2011 Submission deadline: April 7, 2011 Authors notification: May 1, 2011 Camera ready: May 10, 2011 Workshop date: June 28, 2011 Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------------- - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - Techniques for mobility data storage and processing - Knowledge discovery from mobility data - Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection Workshop Chairs: ---------------- Michal Piorkowski, USI Lugano, Switzerland Brenton Walker, LTS University of Maryland, USA Program Committee: ------------------ Imad Aad, Nokia Research Center Lausanne, Switzerland David J.
