-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Deadline extended (15th April): Journal of Security and Communication Networks, Special Issue on Protecting the Internet of Things Datum: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:38:45 +0100 Von: Rodrigo Roman <roman(a)lcc.uma.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers: Protecting the Internet of Things in Journal of Security and Communication Networks (Wiley) http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security Submission Due Dates: Manuscript due: 15th April 2011 (Extended) First Review Results: Late June 2011 Final Acceptance Notification: August/September 2011 Camera Ready Manuscript due: Late August/September 2011 Publication: November/December 2011 (Tentative) The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), supported by industrial companies and governments all over the world, marks an evolution that will surely have a great impact on our environments and our lives. The central element of this vision is the existence of a network of interconnected objects (from books to cars, from electrical appliances to food) that will be able not only to obtain information from their surroundings and interact with the physical world, but also to use existing Internet standards to provide services. However, security is extremely important for achieving this goal. As this worldwide network of interconnected objects can be exploited anywhere by anyone and anytime, it is necessary to enhance it with strong security foundations able to give birth to a world-changing paradigm. In fact, in order to adequately protect the IoT, there are plenty of factors that must be taken into account. For example, the protection of the different building blocks, the creation of interoperable security mechanisms, the development of new services that allow multiple entities (e.g., human beings, machines, objects) to cooperate with each other, and the management of all the information produced by those interactions. This special issue is proposed to cover research results and innovation case studies on security for the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal Challenges and Governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of Security and Privacy Technologies in the context of the IoT. Submitted papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished works. Original research papers are solicited in all areas on security for the Internet of Things. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security). Prospective authors should submit their papers online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special Issue', and enter 'Running Head' and 'Special Issue title' as 'SCN-SI-029' and 'Internet of things', respectively.

Fwd: Fachgespräch zum Thema "Verteilte Systemen in Smart Spaces"
by Lars Wolf 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Aristotelis Hadjakos <hadjakos(a)TK.INFORMATIK.TU-DARMSTADT.DE> schrieb: Verteilte Systeme in ‚Smart Spaces‘ Vernetzte Computer haben längst den Schreibtisch verlassen: als Mobiltelefone, in Gegenstände eingebettet oder als Sensor/Aktor-Knoten durchdringen sie den Alltag. Doch bei aller Vernetzung: zur Hollywood-Vision mancher Science-Fiction-Filme, worin all diese Knoten als vernetzte Intelligenz den Menschen umgeben, bestens kennen und unterstützen (oder bedrohen), fehlt im Alltag noch einiges. Beim Bestreben, aus physisch vernetzten Knoten ein kooperatives, ‚kluges‘ vernetztes System zu formen, dient als Integrationskonzept oft der Raum als bedeutungstragende Einheit, zu der die Knoten ihren Beitrag leisten. Die dabei entstehenden Smart Spaces repräsentieren Räume im weiteren Sinn: - Häufig tatsächlich physische Räume wie bei Smart Homes, Smart Buildings, Smart Cities usw. - Cyberinfrastrukturen, die in virtuellen (3D-) Räumen repräsentiert werden … - … und soziale ‚Räume‘ wie bspw. Bürgerinitiativen mit ihren vernetzten Mitgliedern Das Fachgespräch soll neuen Beiträgen zu Smart Spaces ein Forum bilden und die entsprechenden Forschergruppen im deutschsprachigen Raum näher zusammenführen. Erwünschte Beiträge Eingeladen sind Beiträge zum vorstehend skizzierten Thema Smart Spaces; willkommen sind insbesondere neue Artikel, aber auch Übersichten über größere Vorhaben bei Betonung jüngster, noch nicht veröffentlichter Teilaspekte. Auch Projekte unmittelbar vor oder in der Implementierungsphase sind zugelassen, sollen aber die konkrete Umsetzung darlegen. Von jedem Beitrag wird erwartet, dass er - auf das verwendete Konzept von Raum besonders eingeht und dieses in Abgrenzung zum Stand der Forschung darstellt und - deutlich macht, wie mit Hilfe dieses Raum-Konzeptes die kollektive ‚Smartness‘ der vernetzten Systeme – beispielsweise in einem offenen selbstorganisierenden Zusammenschluss – erreicht wird. Solange auf diese Punkte konkret eingegangen wird, sind Konzepte für Physische Räume beliebiger Ausdehnung, für Virtuelle Räume und für Soziale Räume gleichermaßen willkommen. Organisation und Veröffentlichung Das Zusammentreffen der Beitragenden und Interessierten wird als eintägiges Fachgespräch der GI/ITG- Fachgruppe “Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme” organisiert. Den teilnehmenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern wird auch ausreichend Gelegenheit zum informellen Austausch und zur Identifikation von Anknüpfungspunkten geben. Beiträge mit hohem Innovations- und Reifegrad können zu einem Artikel in der Fachzeitschrift PIK der Fachgruppe weiterentwickelt werden. Beitragsformat und Termine 15. Mai: Kurzfassung auf 2-3 DIN-A4-Seiten (Ränder 2.5 cm, Times 11pt oder vergleichbar, einzeilig). Einreichung per E-Mail an telis(a)tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de 31.

Michael Zapf <Michael.Zapf(a)UNI-KASSEL.DE> schrieb: 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. April 2011: Einreichungsfrist für Beiträge 23. Mai 2011: Mitteilung über Annahme 1. Juli 2011: Überarbeitungsfrist für angenommene Beiträge Einreichung Bitte halten Sie sich an die Vorgaben der LNI Vorlage (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/) für die Formatierung Ihres Beitrages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MobiArch 2011 - Deadline extended Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 08:58:31 +0000 Von: Ratul Mahajan <ratul(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> CC: Kyle Jamieson (k.jamieson(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk) <k.jamieson(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk> Call for Papers: The 6th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2011) http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk June 28, 2011 Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2011 in Washington, D.C. Technical Area With recent advances in technologies for wireless access (e.g., WiFi, 3G, and 4G) and mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), mobility has become a fundamental characteristic of today's Internet. Yet, basic architectural issues related to mobility such as efficient mobility management, the locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, and various operational, deployment concerns are still in their early stages of exploration. Moreover, the Internet architecture itself, its end-to-end principles, and business models require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as seamless and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies such as those in the 60 GHz and whitespace bands may pose additional challenges since they may introduce design principles different from the packet-switched Internet. MobiArch 2011 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. We encourage submission of early, in-progress work as well as position papers. The workshop will address all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on Internet architecture. * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in the link, network, and transport layers, to the application layer and cross-layer design. * Architectures and protocols for service partitioning, code offloading, and data center management to support mobile devices in the compute cloud. * Location management, robustness, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues. * Security, dependability, and privacy issues in mobility networks, and their impacts on Internet architecture. * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in remote areas and developing countries. * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet. * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts on Internet architecture. * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices). * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design. Paper format and submission instructions Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. Paper submission will be handled via HotCRP. Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

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 Please contact the General Chair or Technical Program Co-Chairs for more information. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PWSN 2011 -Barcelona, 29 June 2011, in conjunction with DCOSS2011 Datum: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 10:39:31 +0200 Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *** 2 Weeks Remaining for Submission! *** ========================================================================= 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) ========================================================================= 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.

To this end, there have been extensive research activities on a series of related topics including traffic modeling, resource allocation, network monitoring, and service management. The particular challenge is that communication networks based on different technologies need to cooperate with each other for end-to-end QoS provisioning and support a wide range of multi-media applications over a huge number of customers. Furthermore, the communication networks should be capable of supporting user roaming and mobility. Such a large-scale heterogeneous networking environment incurs fundamental challenges on traditional theories, analysis, modeling and experiment methods. The symposium of "Communications QoS, Reliability, and Modeling" aims at providing an international venue for the discussion of research advances in communications service provisioning, quality of service technologies, and analytical and experimental techniques. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the topics of interest listed below: Main Topics of Interest ----------------------- - Quality in Multimedia Networks including Voice over IP and IPTV - Quality, Scalability and Performance in the Internet - Quality and Performance in Wireless and Mobile Networks - Quality, Reliability and Performance in Optical and Multi-layer Networks - Quality and Performance in Autonomic Systems - Quality and Performance in Grid, Cloud and Distributed Computing - Quality and Performance in Overlay (including Peer-to-Peer) Networks - Quality and Performance for Network and Services - Quality and Resource Allocation for Network Services, VPN, Web - Performance Modeling of Next Generation Networks - Performance of Large Scale Experimental Platforms - Scalability, Robustness and Resilience - Standardization Aspects of QoS and Reliability - Performance Evaluation Techniques - TCP/IP Performance - Design of Networks and Network Services - Cross-layer Design, Modeling and Optimization - Application / Service Oriented Networking - Network Simulation Techniques - Network Modeling - Network Measurement and Monitoring Techniques - Resource Allocation for Networks and Their Services - Traffic and Workload Modeling and Characterization - Traffic and Workload Control - Traffic Economics - Traffic Engineering and Traffic Theory - Metrics and Models for Quality of Experience (QoE) Symposium Co-Chairs ------------------- Yu Cheng, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA Stefano Giordano, University of Pisa, Italy Tetsuya Yokotani, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Japan _____ _____ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22, 2011 Camera-ready date: May 2, 2011 Paper Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS system (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10569).

Couch" <couch(a)cs.tufts.edu>, "Steven Y. Ko" <stevko(a)buffalo.edu> ========================================================= Apologies if you received multiple copies ========================================================= SECON 2011 Workshop on Network Configuration Management (WNCM) Chairs: Alva Couch (Tufts University, USA) Steve Ko (SUNY at Buffalo, USA) The SECON workshop on Network Configuration Management brings together academic and industry researchers around the common goal of creating predictable, reliable, robust, and secure computer networks and services, in the presence of ongoing changes in requirements, hardware, and physical infrastructure. While configuration management is an implicit part of managing any kind of network, it is often left as an unnamed part of the greater task of "network management," even though statistically, an overwhelming percentage of operational issues are due to misconfiguration. In avoiding misconfiguration errors and the ensuing downtime, there is great utility in managing, manipulating, and analyzing a holistic network configuration that is the union of the configurations of its components. The workshop has two overall missions: a) To explore the current state of the art of "network configuration management", including strategies for describing, depicting, manipulating, verifying, and deploying configurations, along with approaches to safety, security, change management, safe reconfiguration, and related topics. b) To seek synergy with other forms of "configuration management", including "service configuration management". Effective cloud computing, e.g., requires careful coordination between service configuration and network configuration management. The goals of the workshop include educating the research community on the current grand challenges of network configuration management, exposing recent advances in network and service configuration management, and plotting the future of the field and next research steps.

Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

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/ACM 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. CPSCom'11 is the next edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of cyber, physical, and social computing - Intelligence and semantics in cyber, physical, and social computing - Architecture and infrastructure for cyber, physical, and social computing - Applications and experiences of cyber, physical, and social computing - Cyber-physical systems and society - Modeling, mining, and analysis of social data and social networks - Communication and control in cyber, physical, and social computing - Security, privacy, trust, and safety - Design of large scale of cyber, physical, and social systems - Tools for analysis, verification, control, and optimization of hybrid systems - Ubiquitous sensing with socially produced input - Mobile phones as social sensors - Cyber/digital human and network life 3. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Proposal Due: April 1, 2011 Submission Due: May 1, 2011 Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2011 4. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

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.
