While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi-hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to identifying the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences Program Co-Chairs: - Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr), University of the Aegean, Greece - Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr), Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece - Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr), University of Piraeus, Greece Paper submission instructions: This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere.

CFC - Achieving Federated and Self-Manageable Cloud Infrastructures: Theory and Practice
by Mario Fanelli 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Achieving Federated and Self-Manageable Cloud Infrastructures: Theory and Practice http://mdslab.unime.it/fsci11/ Editors: Dr. Ivona Brandic, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Dr. Massimo Villari, University of Messina, Italy Francesco Tusa, University of Messina, Italy Call for Chapters: Proposals Submission Deadline: March 15, 2011 Full Chapters Due: July 15, 2011 Submission Date: November 15, 2011 Introduction Cloud Computing presents a promising approach for implementing scalable ICT systems for private and public, individual-, community- and business-use. Resources are pooled and offered on-demand with ubiquitous network access to rapidly configurable and elastic IT capabilities. Resources are delivered following three basic delivery models: provisioning of remote applications (SaaS), provisioning of remote platforms to create applications (PaaS), and provisioning of remote infrastructures for processing, storing, and networking (IaaS). The key benefits of providing computing power using Clouds are (a) avoidance of expensive computer systems configured to cope with peak performance; (b) pay-as-you-go solutions for computing cycles requested on-demand; and (c) avoidance of idle computing resources, resulting in novel business models. Gartner, Inc. has identified Cloud Computing as the most important strategic technology for the year 2010. Looking toward the near future, T. Bittman has hypothesized that it will evolve in three subsequent stages (Gartner Blog Network): Stage 1 Monolithic (now), where cloud services are based on independent proprietary architectures - islands of Cloud services delivered by mega-providers (this is what Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Microsoft look like today); Stage 2 Vertical Supply Chain, where Cloud providers will leverage Cloud services from other providers - the Clouds will be proprietary infrastructure yet, but the ecosystem building will start; Stage 3 Horizontal Federation, smaller, medium, and large cloud providers will federate themselves to gain economies of scale and an enlargement of their capabilities in order to build up services. Thus, the current development of the Cloud computing markets results in the gap between the mega-providers like Amazon, Google etc. which have monolithic infrastructures provided to the public use and Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Cloud providers which have to federate, in- or outsource their infrastructures, maybe combine on demand offers of different mega-providers and act as Cloud resellers providing guarantees not only on functional but also non functional properties of their services. The gap between the infrastructural development of Cloud mega providers and Cloud SMEs providers is reflected by the Cloud infrastructure developments in US and Europe. While US Cloud landscape is dominated by the mega scale providers like Amazon and Google, in Europe Cloud providers are generally Telcos developing their private Clouds and SMEs offering their Cloud infrastructures to specific user groups with specific needs (e.g. specific security infrastructures). Objective of the Book This book will overview current developments in Cloud computing concepts, architectures, infrastructures and methods, especially focusing on the needs of SMEs. On one hand, highly scalable infrastructures are required to comply with the varying load, software and hardware failures using Cloud federation scenarios. On the other hand autonomic management infrastructures are required to adapt, manage and utilize Cloud ecosystem in an efficient way. Cloud federation also allows to minimize the interaction among Cloud infrastructures, Cloud user and Cloud providers. Moreover, efficient market mechanisms are necessary where Cloud providers and consumers can advertise and sell their products. Thus, the contributions in this book should represent a triangle between the cloud federation, resource management and economic models (SLA management, business models) used to enforce the scale economy of the Cloud Computing infrastructures. Overview Our proposal mainly addresses the topic of Cloud computing at two levels: the first one introduces the fundamentals of Cloud Computing and its impact on the IT world; the second one, beginning from the previous concepts, provides an analysis of the main issues regarding the Cloud federation, autonomic resource management and efficient market mechanisms, while also supplying an overview of the existing solutions able to solve them. In order to federate different Clouds, in fact, several topics have to be taken into account: - The middleware that has to be employed: open source solutions, integration with proprietary systems. - Resource management for Cloud computing: discovering and match-making (i.e. to select the most suitable cloud which satisfy certain requirements). - Security and trust issues regarding data confidentiality and user authentication. - Cloud Interoperability and Inter-Cloud resource management: * Virtual resources migration; * Security management among different administrative domains; * SLA resource management among Cloud operators. In order to give an overview of current developments in the area of the autonomic resource management, chapters will cover following topics: - Cloud related monitoring and SLA management. - Knowledge management in Clouds. - Management of energy efficiency in Clouds. - Virtual resources management. The last part of the book will cover the novel market mechanisms as well es economic and business models for Clouds, including: - Theoretical developments of the Economic models. - Market mechanisms in Clouds. - Successful use cases of Cloud computing for economies of scale. - Business models and management. Target Audience Our publication is aimed at both enterprise business managers and research and academic audiences. Enterprise managers will gain knowledge about basic concepts in Cloud Computing, and become informed about Cloud federation issues and using distributed federated Clouds as an alternative to monolithic mega-providers. IT enterprise business managers will better understand how to migrate their own services on Cloud platforms in order to better optimize costs and resources usage, conceptualize new models of distributed federated Clouds instead on the monolithic one, and earn profit from a set of unused hardware resources building a federated Cloud. Researchers and academics will introduce new issues the Cloud computing as well as the main research topics related to Cloud federation. These frameworks will help researchers develop unique solutions and approaches. Potential Topics More specific recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Resources discovery (from the federated Clouds). - Match-making to find the Clouds which best fit the federation requirement. - AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting). - General Security issues: * Logging; * Auditing; * Data confidentiality; * Compliance. - Business management, SLA and billing. - Data storage and smart Virtual Environments allocation. - Resource location and naming. - Middlewares for implementing Clouds (mainly open-source solutions). - Autonomic Cloud management: * Cloud monitoring; * Cloud knowledge management; * Energy efficient Cloud computing; * Creation, Management and Deletion of Federation bindings. - Cloud markets: * Optimized management of human resources (maintenance costs, etc.); * Green computing and energy efficiency in large scale distributed systems; * Challenges but also opportunities for Cloud markets and economies; * Ability to satisfy more clients in a dynamic fashion. Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March 15, 2011, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 30, 2011, about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by July 15, 2011. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE NIME 2011 - Hawaii - Deadline Extension: March 7th, 2011 Datum: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 17:46:31 +0100 Von: cpalazzi(a)math.unipd.it An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Due to several requests, the submission deadline has been extended to March 7th, 2011. ================================ 7th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'11) Maui, Hawaii, July 31 - August 4, 2011 Co-Located with IEEE ICCCN Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society website - http://www.math.unipd.it/~cpalazzi/NIME11 THEME AND SCOPE The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Applications for Entertainment * Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games * Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session * Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) * Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment * Media and Device Adaptation * Music and Movie Distribution * Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) * Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment * QoS and Security Support for Entertainment * Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP) * Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment * TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Technologies for Entertainment * Agent-based Entertainment * Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality * Artificial Intelligence * Evolutionary Entertainment * Interactive Television and Theatre * Massive Multiplayer Games * Mobile and Wireless Entertainment * Networked Entertainment * Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling * Networked Video, Music and Sound Design * Pervasive Entertainment * Personalized and User-Adapted Television * Sport, News and Entertainment * Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment * Wearable Entertainment * Wireless and Mobile Gaming * Testbed and Performance Evaluation PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS as PDF files (formatted for letter (8.5x11-inch) paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts may not exceed 8 pages). Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). Submission format and instruction, as well as other important information, can be found on the author guide web page of the main conference (http://www.icccn.org/icccn11/author.html ).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Internet Measurement Conference 2011 Datum: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 04:08:32 +0100 Von: Renata.Teixeira(a)lip6.fr An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Internet Measurement Conference 2011 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS and in cooperation with USENIX November 2-4, 2011 Berlin, Germany http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The eleventh Internet Measurement Conference is a three day event focusing on all aspects of measurement-based research pertaining to today's Internet. Building on the success of past IMCs, we invite submissions of papers that contribute to our understanding of all aspects related to the Internet through the collection, analysis, or visualization of all types of network-related measurements. Examples of relevant topics are: * Internet traffic and topology measurement * Internet-oriented wireless, and mobility measurement * Internet performance measurements * Inter-domain and intra-domain routing * Measurement-based network management such as traffic engineering * Network applications such as multimedia streaming, gaming and on-line social networks * Measurement of sensing applications, including home networking and green networking * Measurements of content distribution, peer-to-peer, overlay, and social networks * Internet data-specific issues, including anonymization, querying, and storage * Measurement-based inference of network properties and structures * Design of and experiences with new monitoring systems * Algorithms for network measurements, including sampling and statistical inference methods * Network anomaly detection and troubleshooting * Software tools for analyzing and visualizing high-volume Internet- related datasets * Measurement related to network security and privacy * Measurement-based assessment of simulation/testbeds * Measurement-based modeling and workload generation * Reappraisal of previous measurement findings * Measurement related to data centers and the cloud * Measurement of technological and socio-economic aspects of networking * Relevant end-host and end-user measurements Papers that do not in some fashion relate to measuring aspects of the Internet or Internet-like systems are out of scope. Moreover, papers describing original ideas and novel validation methods will be given preference over submissions that report on incremental improvements of the existing state-of-the-art. Authors can contact the Program Co-Chairs for clarification if they are unsure whether their paper is in scope. Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all IMC authors. In particular, authors must be aware of and conform to acceptable use policies for individual domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information, and etiquette for using shared measurement data (see Allman and Paxson, IMC '07). If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criteria for all submissions and violations---including ambiguous situations not well described---will be grounds for rejection. Submission Guidelines --------------------- There are two forms of submissions: 1. Full papers (up to 14 two-column pages) describing original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. 2. Short papers (up to 6 two-column pages for text and figures + 1 page for references) conveying work that is less mature but shows promise, articulating a high-level vision, describing challenging future directions, critiquing current measurement wisdom or offering results that do not merit a full submission. Short papers will be subject to a 7-page limit in the Proceedings (with the last page for references only). Note: Previous IMCs have utilized a "reject to short" notion whereby full paper submissions have been accepted as short papers. IMC 2011 will not be using this procedure. Any submission longer than allowed by the above short guidelines will be considered a full paper. Note: Authors are encouraged to think carefully about whether to submit a full or short paper. In the past there have been many instances whereby a full submission has been found to be lacking enough technical contribution for a full paper, but for which the PC finds an interesting portion of the paper that would have been a very nice contribution as a short paper. Submissions must be in electronic form, as PDF documents. The submission must conform to the page limits stated above, and with text written in at least a 10-point font (Fonts used in Figures etc should be no smaller than 9 pt) satisfying the requirements specified below. * use double column format * the size of each column should be at most 9.25" by 3.33" * the space between columns should be at least 0.33" * use 10pt font * use up to 55 lines of text per column The http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2009/sig-alternate-10pt.cls style file should satisfy these requirements. Please use -t letter when converting the .dvi file to pdf. All manuscripts must be in English and do not need to be anonymized. Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will not be read. All full papers and short papers accepted for presentation will be published in the Conference Proceedings produced by ACM. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. To encourage broader data sharing in the community, the conference will present a best paper award for the top paper that makes its data sets publically available by the time of camera ready submission. For example, wireless-network data sets may be published through CRAWDAD. Authors that would like their paper to be considered for this award should add a footnote on the first page of their submission (and indicate this by selecting the appropriate button on the paper registration/submission page). A limited number of travel grants may be available to students who are unable to secure funding from their advisors.

Brenton Walker <brenton(a)cs.wisc.edu> schrieb: We apologize if you receive multiple copies._____________________________________________ 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. To make the whole event even more interesting, we will hold a competition for all the workshop participants. The contest will be about the mobility data - the details will be unveiled soon. The ceremony for the winners will take place during the last day of the ACM MobiSys conference.

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.

The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiCom conference 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, MobiCom 2011 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 OSI protocol 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 * Testbed design 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. 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 MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. 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 Mobicom 2011 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 (11:59PM EST) Paper submission due: March 9, 2011 (11:59PM EST) 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.

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 Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 (just a little room) -----------_____________________________________________ -- With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science New Mexico State University Homepage: www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra_____________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the itc list, click the following link: http://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:25:36 +1300 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <tccn(a)comsoc.org> CC: tapani.e.ristaniemi(a)jyu.fi, ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg, niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn, cleung(a)ece.ubc.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Technologies for Green Radio Communication Networks IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Since 2006, data traffic on wireless networks has grown by approximately 400% and is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming years. The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today’s communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks • Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks • Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks • Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. • Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques • Self-organizing/optimizing networks • Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs • Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management • Regulation and standardization • Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes • Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks • Operators’ experience • Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization • Energy minimization of system-wide components • Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic. Electronic submissions in PDF format is strongly encouraged and should be sent by email to ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg with cc to all the guest editors. Schedule • Manuscripts Due – March 1, 2011 • Acceptance Notification – June 15, 2011 • Final Manuscript Submission – July 15, 2011 • Publication Date – October 2011 Guest Editors Peter Han Joo Chong Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Email: ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg Cyril Leung University of British Columbia, Canada Email: cleung(a)ece.ubc.ca Zhisheng Niu Tsing Hua University, China Email: niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn Tapani Ristaniemi University of Jyväskylä, Finland Email: tapani.e.ristaniemi(a)jyu.fi Boon-Chong Seet Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand Email: bcseet(a)ieee.org _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
