-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PWSN 2011 - Deadline Extended to April 11, 2011 Datum: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:09:56 +0300 Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *** Paper Submission Deadline Extended to: Monday, 11 April 2011 *** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2011 3rd International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2011/ June 29 2011, Casa Convalescència, Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '11) ========================================================================= Important dates: ---------------- ** Extended Paper Submission deadline: April 11, 2011 ** Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2011 Camera Ready Paper: May 30, 2011 Workshop date: June 29, 2011 Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. 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. We are soliciting high quality, original and unpublished work in BWC for high speed vehicles, especially those pushing the envelope in terms of vehicle speed and communication bandwidth. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel network architecture * Satellite communications * Drive-through Internet * Distributed antenna systems and radio over fiber for vehicle-to-infrastructure communications * High speed vehicle-to-vehicle communication * BWC for high speed vehicle control systems * Radio resource allocation to high speed vehicles * Fast and reliable handover and random access schemes * Wireless channel modeling and estimation * Effects of Doppler spread * Modulation schemes for high speed vehicles * Antenna array and MIMO * Prototype and field tests Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts following the IEEE J-SAC format described at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://www.edas.info. The submission system is avaialbe now and the acronym of this issue is BWCHST.

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.

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.

Fwd: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks"
by Lars Wolf 22 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks" Datum: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:21:08 +0100 Von: <philippe.bertin(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] Call For Papers for MMFN 2011 International Workshop on Mobility Management for Flat Networks 6 October 2011 (date to be confirmed) In conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication www.wpmc2011.org 3-6 October, 2011 Brest, France Technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, IEEE Section France and SEE See also http://www.wpmc2011.org/Call_for_papers_MMFN_2011-591-0-0-0.html GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP ---------------------- Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on the move while communicating. Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network schemes. In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP addresses used for end-to-end communications. In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in the 3GPP. The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management schemes in flat networks. WORKSHOP THEME -------------- Original papers describing both theoretical and experimental results within the scope of Flat Networks Mobility Management are solicited.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WUWNet'11 - The Sixth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks Datum: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 18:31:37 -0400 Von: Dario Pompili <pompili(a)cac.rutgers.edu> An: WUWNET-L(a)LISTSERV.UCONN.EDU, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, MOBICOM(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG, mobisys(a)acm.org, mobility(a)ihmc.uwf.edu, manet(a)ietf.org WUWNet'11: The Sixth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks http://wuwnet.org/ December 1-2, 2011 Seattle, WA, USA CALL FOR PAPERS The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and represent one of the least explored frontiers; yet, the oceans are integral to climate regulation, nutrient production, oil retrieval, and transportation. Also, water systems in general are of vital importance to life on Earth and commerce. For these reasons, there is significant interest in monitoring aquatic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, and military purposes. WUWNet is the premier venue for early work bringing real-time, in-situ sensing and actuation to this aquatic world. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas relevant to underwater networks. Thus, many layers of the communication stack - from the physical layer to the application layer - will be represented. The objective is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research, for exchanging ideas and experiences, and for facilitating interaction and collaboration. The workshop will span two days, including presentations of technical papers, a keynote talk, a panel, and a poster/demo session. The scope of the WUWNet workshop covers a broad range of research directions related to underwater systems including communications, networking, system integration, and vehicle coordination. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Underwater network architectures - Efficient underwater communications, with techniques from the physical layer to the application layer - Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data transfer - Services for underwater systems, such as localization, time synchronization, reliable data transfer, security - Subsea communication for underwater vehicles (gliders, submersibles, etc.) - Coordination algorithms for underwater vehicles and sensor nodes, or human operator interaction - Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems - Applications that broadly address subsea networks, including coordinated vehicle systems - Experimental results from underwater networking trials - Application requirements for underwater networks presented by end users SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions for technical papers must describe original research, not published or currently under review for other workshops, conferences, journals, or magazines. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee for novelty and contribution. The workshop accepts two types of papers: full and short. Short papers may represent less mature work than full papers, or may contain new ideas for future research. Full papers should be more complete in their treatment of the topic. All accepted papers, full and short, will be published in the workshop proceedings. Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their papers. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages, and that for short papers is 5 pages in standard ACM conference format. Please see the workshop website for definitive formatting guidelines and sample templates. Furthermore, this year WUWNet will also have a "Demo/Doctoral Symposium," which will provide a forum for both graduate and undergraduate students working on research topics relevant to WUWNet to discuss their goals, methods, and results at an early stage in their research. A 2-page extended abstract (in standard ACM conference format, with the student as first author) must be submitted by the deadline provided below. Last, but not least, a call for work-in-progress posters and demos will be announced separately.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Special Session on Urban Sensing at ISCIS 2011 - 1 day left! Datum: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:13:17 -0400 Von: Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers: Special Session on Urban Sensing at the 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) The 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) will be held in London at the Royal Society, on September 26-28, 2011 and is organised by Imperial College. We are calling for papers on a special session focusing on urban sensing. The emergence of the smartphones as a multi-purpose computing platform has been one of the most exciting technological developments of recent years. These devices have a computing power which several years ago was associated with desktop computers, and have a collection of integrated sensors ranging from cameras and arrays of microphones to GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes. They often maintain a permanent infrastructure-based internet connection, but they can also participate in peer-to-peer communication using WiFi in infrastructure or ad-hoc mode, Bluetooth and near-field communication. The always on / always available usage pattern of these devices ensures that their penetration and mobility follows that of their users, providing full coverage of the urban areas of the developed world, and rapidly expanding to the developing countries. Urban sensing is an emergent field of computing which takes advantage of these capabilities to develop applications with high social and economic value. We are requesting high quality, research or applications papers on topics associated with urban sensing. Papers which dealing with the following aspects are especially encouraged: The sensing aspect: What type of observations can the sensor make and how can the data be collected and validated? How can we draw inferences, make predictions and take actions based on the collected data? Distributed approaches which store and process the data in-network are of a special interest. The social aspect: What is the relationship of the owner of the smartphone to the data and to the other participants? How are the interests of the providers of the services and beneficiaries of the services reconciled? Approaches based on both altruistic (e.g. citizen computing) and self-interested (e.g. market based) models are of interest. What is the relationship between the collaboration implied by urban sensing to the social networks of the participants? Agent based models of the social and cultural aspects of urban sensing are of special interest. The networking aspect: What are the networking architecture implications of urban sensing? What are the relative benefits of peer to peer vs. infrastructure based communication? Investigations into non-traditional communication technologies - such as proximity based or opportunistic communication are especially encouraged. The security and privacy aspect: What are the security and privacy risks associated by participating in urban sensing? What attack scenarios can a malicious participant use to falsify the resulting data and how can the system defend against such attacks? How can we negotiate the trade-off between the privacy cost and societal benefits of applications? Authors are invited to submit original research papers that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. All papers will be peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The Proceedings of ISCIS 2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes notes on Electrical Engineering, known as LNEE. Also, an extended and revised version of the best papers will be considered for publication in The Computer Journal. Please submit your paper via Easy Chair at the following web address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iscis2011 The authors should add the keyword "Urban sensing" to the submission.

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.
