CFP: WIVEC2011
by Lars Wolf 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline (extended): 14 March 2011 Acceptance notification: 15 April 2011 Camera-ready papers due: 13 June 2011

Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)HOFSTRA.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILEdedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiComconference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at /http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/. ** * * *PAPERS: *Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSIprotocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbeddesign and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. ** *CHALLENGES PAPERS: *The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiComprogram committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiComproceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." ** * * *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *All paper submissions will be handled electronically.

PWSN 2011 Call For Papers

04 Mar '11

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 ConvalescÃšncia, 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 t he 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.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 ** Papers of particular merit will be invited to be extended and submitted for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS). ** C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

Datum: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:51:18 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)CS.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Dear colleagues, Below please find the call for papers for The 6th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2011): http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 18, 2011, 11:59 PM EST (deadline extended!) Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2011 Camera Ready Due: April 24, 2011 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 both work-in-progress and position papers. The workshop will address all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including: • 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 (http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/hotcrp). Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers (Deadline Extended, March 8)
by Mario Fanelli 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

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 Tecnològic, 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.

Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILEdedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiComconference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at /http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/. ** * * *PAPERS: *Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSIprotocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbeddesign and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. ** *CHALLENGES PAPERS: *The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiComprogram committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiComproceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." ** * * *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must /(i) /be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), /(ii) /be in font size no smaller than 10 points, /(iii) /have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and /(iv) /fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the Mobicom2011 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org <mailto:mobicom_pcchairs@acm.org>. ** * * *BEST PAPER AWARD: *All papers will be considered for the /Best/ /Paper Award/. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. *IMPORTANT DATES: *Abstract submission due: March 2, 2011 (11:59PMEST) Paper submission due: March 9, 2011 (11:59PMEST) Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2011 Camera-ready version due: June 30, 2011 General Chair Parmesh Ramanathan, University of Wisconsin-Madison Program Co-Chairs Brian Neil Levine, Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst Thyaga Nandagopal, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent Steering Committee Victor Bahl Imrich Chlamtac David B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: 4th IEEE WiVEC 2011 || San Francisco - Sept. 5-6,2011 Datum: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 07:16:00 -0800 Von: Yaser P. Fallah <yaserpf(a)berkeley.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
