Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or WiFi as well as long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g., real-time traffic congestion and routing information), and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The ACM VANET 2011 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics, which are related to vehicular networking applications, services, and systems. Beyond systems that are integrated into vehicles, the workshop scope includes, e.g., vehicle- or traffic-related smartphone applications. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such as the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from USDOT projects, and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Furthermore, vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like ISO TC204, IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), and SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the large-scale Safety Pilot in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE-F in France. The Eighth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking (ACM VANET 2011) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, liability issues, standardizations efforts, and spectrum assignment. - Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Electric vehicle applications - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - "Reduced functionalities" DSRC systems for pedestrians, road workers, etc. - Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps Organizing Committee_____________________________________________ General Co-Chairs: John Kenney, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnologic, Spain Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Publicity/Website Chair: Jason Haas, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Technical Program Committee:_____________________________________________ Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Onur Altintas, Toyota InfoTechnology Center Guohong Cao, The Pennsylvania State University Eylem Ekici, The Ohio State University Tamer ElBatt, Nile University Andreas Festag, NEC Laboratories Europe Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe Daniel Jiang, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Nov 2011 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:20:13 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: Design and Implementation Series (IEEE Communications Magazine) Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:35:44 +0200 Von: Salvatore Loreto <salvatore.loreto(a)ericsson.com> An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Hi there, I want bring your attention to the following Call For Paper in IEEE Communication Magazine cheers /Sal -- Salvatore Loreto www.sloreto.com /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Call for Papers Design and Implementation Series The primary goal of Communications Magazine's Design and Implementation Series of articles is to serve the needs of telecommunications and telephony professionals in industry. Their jobs are often focused on creating products and services that maximize return on investment and that operate robustly across a broad range of environments. Typically, though, engineering represents only a small fraction of the total R&D effort. This is because many other factors must be taken into account that are not considered on the chalkboard or in a proof-of-concept; for example, interoperability, scalability (in both directions), compatibility (in both directions), cost-of-goods, market dynamics, security, effective user interfaces, technical risk, serviceability, manageability, supportability, testability, availability, deployability, recovery, packaging, etc. The ability to design and implement solutions successfully in such a complex environment is gained largely through experience and not through literature searches or collaborations with industry peers. Hence, the Design and Implementation Series seeks articles that provide practical knowledge for creating products and services while retaining the academically rigorous style and structure typical of Communications Magazine articles. You can write about any telecommunications or telephony topic, but we are particularly interested in IP telephony applications and infrastructure, especially in markets where non-traditional providers and vendors compete. Emphasize the factors that contributed to the decision process for your design and implementation, and tell us about the lessons learned, good or bad, from the experience. As much as possible, these decision factors should be generic enough to be applicable broadly to most telephony projects, regardless of their design details, and thus of interest to technologists outside the specialty of the article. *Submission* Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editor before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editors and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Design and Implementation Series." Consider this CFP to be permanently open until further notice. *Publication Schedule* Submission Deadline: Seven (7) months before publication date Acceptance Notification: Four (4) months before publication date Final Manuscript Submission: Two (2) months before publication date Publication Date: Design & Implementation Series articles are published approximately semi-annually (every six (6) months) *Design & Implementation Series * Salvatore Loreto Ericsson Research, Nomadiclab Hirsalantie 11 Jorvas 02420 Finland Sean Moore Centripetal Networks, Inc. 20 Mendelssohn Drive Hollis, NH USA 03049 TEL: +1 978-677-5232

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SPECIAL ISSUE ON Self-Aware and Adaptive Embedded Systems: Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:00:33 +0200 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc-bounces(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers - Special Issue *SUBMISSION DUE DATE: May 31, 2011* *SPECIAL ISSUE ON Self-Aware and Adaptive Embedded Systems* International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems (IJERTCS) *Guest Editors: * Juha Plosila, University of Turku, Finland Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany *INTRODUCTION:* Self-aware and adaptive (SAA) systems are able to perceive the changes in their status and the surrounding environment, and adapt to these changes to provide an optimal performance. Self-adaptation and self-optimization belong to the broad scope of autonomic computing. In the research community as well as industry, one can observe the emergence of self-aware and adaptive communication and embedded systems in various forms, for instance, massively parallel processing, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). They can be used extensively in different application domains, including consumer electronics, medical applications, smart houses, space applications, and automotive electronics. Properly exploiting self-awareness and adaptation can strongly benefit every major design concern in system development, including cost and yield, power and energy efficiency, dependability and security, as well as design productivity and time-to-market. *OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:* The objective of this special issue of IJERTCS is to bring together innovative works on self-aware and adaptive embedded and communication systems.

Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik VIRTUALISIERUNG - GESTERN, HEUTE, MORGEN TU Berlin, 04.10. - 07.10.2011 http://www.informatik2011.de/ ======================================================================== *** Verlängerung der Einreichungsfrist: 01. Mai 2011 *** Seit Jahren kennen und nutzen wir im Informatik-Umfeld den Begriff Virtualisierung. Die Bedeutung der Virtualisierung in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsebenen (Prozessorebene, Betriebssystemebene etc.) und innerhalb der verschiedenen Informatik-Disziplinen, wie Hardware- und Software-Virtualisierung, Cloud-Computing, bei Multicore Prozessoren, als Mechanismen zur Verbesserung der Energie-Effizienz und Last- Balancierung u. ä. nimmt stetig zu. Die Vielfältigkeit der Nutzung des Begriffes in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Informatik führt zum Problem einer fehlenden präzisen Erfassung des Begriffs Virtualisierung. Es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Definition des Begriffs, die sich meist im übergreifenden Sinne auf die Nutzung von Virtualisierung als Abstraktionsschicht physischer Ressourcen in spezifischen Anwendungsbereichen beziehen. Eine allgemeine, eindeutige Definition für die Virtualisierung, die zukünftig zu einer stärkeren Systematisierung der aktuellen F&E-Aktivitäten führen könnte, ist aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen in den Anwendungsbereichen derzeit nur schwer möglich. Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, die innovativen Ansätze und aktuellen Entwicklungen in Verbindung mit Virtualisierungskonzepten zu erfassen, die Möglichkeiten einer Systematisierung zu diskutieren und ihre Bedeutung in der Informatik herauszustellen. Beiträge, die im Rahmen des Workshops vorgestellt werden, können die folgenden Themen umfassen, sind aber nicht auf diese beschränkt: * Virtualisierungsarchitekturen und -methoden in verschiedenen Rechnerarchitekturebenen * Ansätze zur Effizienzsteigerung vorhandener Virtualisierungskonzepte (z. B. Servervirtualisierung, Storage- Virtualisierung und Netzwerkvirtualisierung) * Anwendungen der Virtualisierung, kollektive Virtualisierung * Lastbalancierungs- und Lastaggregierungsverfahren (z. B. Live Migration-Technologien zur dynamischen Servervirtualisierung) * Performanceuntersuchungen virtualisierter Komponenten * Selbstorganisation in virtualisierten Umgebungen * Aspekte der Virtualisierung, die zur Präzisierung des Virtualisierungs- begriffs und Systematisierung von Virtualisierungskonzepten führen Beiträge müssen bis zum 01.

Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2011 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overview Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments.

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 18 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:36:32 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> Antwort an: konstant(a)unipi.gr An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: § Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks § Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks § Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors § Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks § Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage § Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime § Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks § Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks § Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Ten tative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2011 Sixth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements in conjunction with the 36th IEEE Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN_WNM2011/WNM2011.htm 4-7 October 2011 Hilton Hotel Bonn, Germany The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first five IEEE LCN Workshops on Network Measurements were very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds Mobility models and traffic patterns Wired and wireless domain measurements Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation Active and passive measurements at core nodes End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet Metrics for network characterization Measurements on Mobile devices Applications and protocols relying on network measurements Paper length should not exceed 8 pages.

Fwd: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:11:04 +0200 Von: <prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> Call for Papers ***IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on* ***Information-Centric Networking* *//**/Background and motivation/* Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general, and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content providers, and above all end-users. *//**/Scope and Objectives /* Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with respect to information-centric networks: · Naming & addressing: there is currently a strong association between content naming and addressing. Information-centric networking aims to introduce new ways foridentifying content in a location-independent manner. What breakthroughs in naming and addressing will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of devices and zettabytes of available content? · Protocol stack: the original TCP/IP protocol stack was neat and simple. Today’s stack is arguably neither having been extended through patchwork over several decades. Can ICN simplify things? · Network architecture: ICN is expected to have a profound effect on network architecture as storage capacity becomes an integral element of all network nodes. What does an ICN network architecture look like? · Management: resource/mobility/multihoming management are add-ons to the current architecture. With ICN we have the opportunity to include support for all these aspects right from the start. What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? · Caching: Information-centric networking is an in-network process that relies on content storage in the network so as to efficiently access popular content, alleviate flash-crowd effects, improve the end-user quality of experience, and increase network efficiency. This raises new issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. · Energy efficiency: battery-powered devices abound and will dominate in the future as the primary means for connecting to the Internet. At the same time, there is a strong drive for energy-efficient networking from core networks to access networks,and from data centers to home media centers. ICN has more leverage to make tradeoffs between storage/computation/communication—will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? · Internet of Things (IoT): as the physical world is more and more connected to the digital world through a multitude of sensors and actuators, the current host-centric approach followed in IP networks, typically requiring synchronous, always on, end-to-end connections stretches beyond its capacity to deliver, introducing further inefficiencies. How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? · Security and trust is established today through the use of third parties in an end-to-end manner. Synchronous three-way, end-to-end connectivity is a prerequisite, and it does not guarantee provenance. Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? · Business models in the Internet are established between providers according to peering agreements. The new ICN paradigm based on in-network caching may impact the current relationships between players. Which business models could foster a fair relationship between content producers, content providers and service/network providers? Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals. Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. Topics of particular interest include: · Naming and name resolution in ICN · Information/service discovery in ICN · Flow and congestion control in ICN · Routing and forwarding in ICN · Caching an buffer management in ICN · Security, self-certification, privacy and trust in information-centric networks · QoS/QoE in ICN · ICN over heterogeneous networks · Network programming and APIs for ICN · Scalability and Performance · Empirical evaluations of ICN protocol stacks · Use cases · Business models *//**/Submission/* We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Articles must be tutorial in nature, accessible to a wide audience in the communications technology community. Articles shouldbe limited to approximately 4500 words, and include no more than a combined total of 6 tables and figures. References should also be limited to no more than 15.
