It draws upon a broad array of disciplines that span security, communications and networking. In addition to technical research papers, the technical program of ACM WiSec 2011 will include a Poster and Demonstration Session to provide a venue for presenting work that is at a nascent state of development or for demonstrating new technologies that are relevant to wireless networking and security. The WiSec Program Committee is encouraging both academic and industrial submissions, with the objective of exchanging ideas and receiving timely feedback from other members of the research community. Submissions to the Poster and Demonstration Session will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas. Ideally, the demos should allow participants to try things out themselves. Submission Instructions for Posters and Demonstrations For the posters, authors should submit a two page extended abstract that provides sufficient technical detail so that the evaluation committee can assess the technical merit of the work. The poster abstracts do not have to present completed work, but at the same time should provide enough concrete evidence to support the potential and validity of the proposed ideas. For demos, authors should to submit a two page extended abstract that describes the technology that they have developed, the relevance to wireless networking and security, and which also highlights the novelty of the prototype. For demonstrations, the abstract should also contain an extra page that clearly describes what conference participants will be able to see or do during the demonstration. Demonstrations should have a research component and, in particular, should not push a commercial agenda. Both types of abstracts should follow the WiSec formatting guidelines (with a 2 page limit + 1 extra page for demos), and authors should refer to the main WiSec website for instructions related to formatting.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) 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: 28 February 2011 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.

Fwd: [Mycolleagues] CFP IEEE COMMAG Special Issue on Communication in Ubiquitous Healthcare
by Lars Wolf 08 Feb '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP IEEE COMMAG Special Issue on Communication in Ubiquitous Healthcare Datum: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 01:36:25 -0200 (BRST) Von: Carlos Becker Westphall <westphal(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Communications in Ubiquitous Healthcare: Wireless Sensors, Networked Devices, Protocols and Solutions" Many countries continue to face the major challenge of economically supporting their welfare systems, particularly medical/health benefits. Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients. While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals. This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged. In summary, we are soliciting high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design, prototyping and deployment. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Sensing of Vital Signs and Signatures . Wearable Medical Wireless Sensors, . Energy Saving for Long Time Monitoring . Software Architectures (Agent, SOA, Middleware, etc.) . UHealth Smart home Network Infrastructure and Gateway . Modeling Ubiquitous Healthcare Smart home Environment .

Andreas Terzis <terzis(a)cs.jhu.edu> schrieb: Please note that the deadline to submit to IP+SN 2011 has been extended to Feb. 28. You will need to submit your abstract by Feb 14. The updated CFP follows best regards, Andreas Terzis =-=-=-=-= Extending the Internet to Low power and Lossy Networks (IP+SN 2011) April 11th 2011 Chicago, Illinois Co-located with CPS Week 2011 http://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/ip+sn2011/ For nearly a decade, wireless sensor network research and development largely assumed that the Internet architecture was ill-suited for sensor networks. Many in the field argued that the Internet protocols were impractical for the resource constrained devices that were being embedded in the physical world; that the end-to-end architecture was inappropriate for the localized algorithms and in-network processing required to achieve robustness and scalability; and that an architecture designed to accommodate a wide range of applications was unnecessary as sensor networks would be tailored to specific target applications. In the past couple years, the Smart Grid push has placed a pressing need to deploy networks that have an unprecedented scale when compared to existing IP networks (e.g., 10 million end points within a single network targeted by utility manufacturers), allow multi-vendor interoperability, and utilize low-cost communication devices. Sensor networks are considered a natural fit for Smart Grid applications such as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Home Area Networking (HAN). To address this need, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is working with researchers and practitioners to standardize protocols, such as 6LoWPAN and ROLL, for constrained networks. This workshop solicits articles that describe early experiences with such standards, papers that describe sensor network applications built on top of these standards, as well as research proposals regarding how to extend the standards. Topics of Interest Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop. The topics of interest include theoretical and empirical work in, but not limited to: * Experience with 6LoWPAN/RPL implementations * Experience with IP-based sensornet deployments * Interoperability results * Applications of IP-based sensor networks * Application-level protocols (e.g., work related to the IETF CoRE WG on CoAP) * End-to-end, IP-based architectures that include sensor networks * Experience with IP over low-power, duty cycled networks Important Dates * Abstract Submission Deadline: Feb 14th * Paper Submission Deadline: Feb 28th * Acceptance Notification: March 18th * Camera Ready Due: April 4th Workshop Organization Co-Chairs * Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University * Jonathan Hui, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online world. Corporations, governments, and other organizations are realizing and exploiting their power to track users and their behavior. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, but also companies and governments, from profiling and censorship include decentralization, encryption, distributed trust, and automated policy disclosure. The 11th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium addresses the design and realization of such privacy services for the Internet and other data systems and communication networks by bringing together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives. The symposium seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions with novel technical contributions from other communities such as law, business, and data protection authorities, that present their perspectives on technological issues. As in the past, the proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the event. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: Anonymous communications and publishing systems Attacks on privacy and privacy technologies Censorship resistance Data protection technologies Economics of privacy and PETs Fielded systems and techniques for enhancing privacy in existing systems Location privacy Privacy and anonymity in Peer-to-Peer, Cloud, and Ubiquitous Computing Environments Privacy and inference control in databases Privacy-enhanced access control or authentication/certification Privacy-friendly payment mechanisms for PETs and other services Privacy in Online Social Networks Privacy policy languages and tools Privacy threat models Profiling and data mining Pseudonyms, identity management, linkability, and reputation Reliability, robustness and abuse prevention in privacy systems Traffic analysis Transparency enhancing tools Usability issues and user interfaces for PETs General Chairs: Ian Goldberg, University of Waterloo Katrina Hanna, Research In Motion Program Chairs: Simone Fischer-Huebner, Karlstad University Nicholas Hopper, University of Minnesota Program Committee: Kevin Bauer, University of Colorado Jean Camp, Indiana University George Danezis, Microsoft Research Sabrina De Capitani di Vimercati, Università degli Studi di Milano Claudia Diaz, K.U.Leuven Roger Dingledine, The Tor Project Hannes Federrath, University Regensburg Julien Freudiger, EPFL Simson Garfinkel, Naval Postgraduate School Rachel Greenstadt, Drexel University Thomas Heydt-Benjamin, The Free Haven Project Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL Aaron Johnson, University of Texas at Austin Bradley Malin, Vanderbilt University Damon McCoy, University of California, San Diego Aleecia McDonald, Carnegie Mellon University David Molnar, Microsoft Research Steven Murdoch, University of Cambridge Shishir Nagaraja, IIIT Delhi Arvind Narayanan, Stanford University Gregory Neven, IBM Research Zurich Pierangela Samarati, Università degli Studi di Milano Adam Smith, Pennsylvania State University Carmela Troncoso, K.U.Leuven Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington HotPETs chairs: Carmela Troncoso, K.U.Leuven Julien Freudiger, EPFL Papers to be submitted to the PET Symposium must be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 20 pages total. Submission of shorter papers is strongly encouraged whenever appropriate. Papers must conform to the Springer LNCS style (in which the text area per page is a little smaller than 5" x 7 3/4"). Follow the "Information for Authors" link at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Papers not following these instructions risk being rejected without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Reviewers of submitted papers are not required to read the appendices and the paper should be intelligible without them. The paper should start with the title and an abstract. The introduction should give some background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Submitted papers must not be anonymized. Proceedings will be published by Springer and made available at the symposium. By submitting a paper, you agree that if it is accepted, you will sign a paper distribution agreement allowing for publication, and also that an author of the paper will register for the symposium and present the paper there. Our current working agreement with Springer is that authors will retain copyright on their own works while assigning an exclusive 3-year distribution license to Springer. Authors may still post their papers on their own Web sites. See http://petsymposium.org/2010/2010-springer-form.pdf for the 2010 version of this agreement. Paper submissions must be received by February 28, 2011, 23:59 UTC (7pm EST). Details about the paper submission process will appear on the PETS web site at http://petsymposium.org. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by April 11th, 2011 and authors will have the opportunity to revise their papers for the proceedings version due on May 9th, 2011. HotPETs As with the last several years, part of the symposium will be devoted to HotPETs the hottest, most exciting research ideas still in a formative state presented in 10 20 minutes for discussion and feedback from the audience. Submissions need not be technical in nature; we welcome challenges from other fields whereby our audience may learn about real world needs that require new research and solutions. Our intent is to bring new questions, approaches, and problems to our privacy community for discussion, feedback, and consideration of new approaches based on the diverse expertise of our attendees. Submissions to HotPETs may be in either a 1 to 4 page extended abstract format, or a full length paper format. We prefer extended abstract format, and all accepted full length submissions must be converted to extended abstract form prior to the camera ready deadline. Successful submissions will have their abstracts printed for hard copy distribution at the event. The abstracts will not be part of the PETS proceedings in order to ensure authors may subsequently publish the expanded work, either in a future PETS or elsewhere. HotPETs submissions are due TBD, 2011, 23:59 UTC (8 pm EDT); submission instructions will appear on the PETS web site. Panels We also invite proposals of up to 2 pages for panel discussions or other relevant presentations. In your proposal, (1) describe the nature of the presentation and why it is appropriate to the symposium, (2) suggest a duration for the presentation (ideally between 45 and 90 minutes), (3) give brief descriptions of the presenters, and (4) indicate which presenters have confirmed their availability for the presentation if it is scheduled. Submit your proposal in the same manner as a PET Symposium paper, by the same deadline. The program committee will consider presentation proposals along with other symposium events, and will respond by the paper decision date with an indication of its interest in scheduling the event. The proceedings will contain 1-page abstracts of the presentations that take place at the symposium. Each contact author for an accepted panel proposal must prepare and submit this abstract in the Springer LNCS style by the "PETS camera-ready deadline for proceedings" deadline date. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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<http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/hotcrp>. Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] [IEEE AOC 2011 - WoWMoM Workshop]: Extended Deadline Datum: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:37:57 +0100 (CET) Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it ================================================================================ *** Extended submission deadline --- February 14, 2011 *** ================================================================================ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2011) June 20-24, 2011 - Lucca (Italy) http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/ jointly supported by the SOCIALNETS project funded by the FET-IST Programme under the FET proactive initiative on Pervasive Adaptation (PerAda) http://www.social-nets.eu and SCAMPI project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative http://www.ict-scampi.eu/ Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom **** Extended Submission Deadline --- February 14, 2011 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users to communicate, and is laying the foundation for the ubiquitous networking idea to become a reality. Risen from the ashes of traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with the variability of a network solely made up from mobile users, opportunistic communications have recently stood out and gained a lot of research attention. Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile network. The idea of opportunistically exploiting extemporary contacts among the users of the network poses new and challenging problems, as well as providing with novel and promising opportunities, to the networking research community. The AOC 2011 workshop will be a meeting point for people working in the area and it will constitute a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. The AOC 2011 workshop will have a primary interest in the new directions of opportunistic communications represented by mobile social networking, content-centric networking, and participatory sensing. More in general, papers tackling issues related to opportunistic networking and computing are welcome. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications are solicited, as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing * Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and opportunistic networks * Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP (due in 1 week): Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2011 @ IEEE ICDCS 2011) Datum: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 03:30:09 -0500 Von: Leszek T. Lilien <leszek.lilien(a)WMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: WMU An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ******************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate CFP to your colleagues that might be interested. ******************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - due in 1 week >> Paper submission deadline extended till Friday, February 11 << SAHNS 2011 The Third International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Minneapolis, USA, June 23, 2011 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2011/ In conjunction with the IEEE 31st International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2011) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions (incl. incentive-based techniques) o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer and Layer 2.5 protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. discovery and integration of resources) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: llilien(a)wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within no more than two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. Information on indexing publications for the events of the IEEE Computer Society is available at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/benefits#indexing We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.

Fwd: CFP IEEE COMMAG Special Issue on Communication in Ubiquitous Healthcare

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP IEEE COMMAG Special Issue on Communication in Ubiquitous Healthcare Datum: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 01:33:47 -0200 (BRST) Von: Carlos Becker Westphall <westphal(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Communications in Ubiquitous Healthcare: Wireless Sensors, Networked Devices, Protocols and Solutions" Many countries continue to face the major challenge of economically supporting their welfare systems, particularly medical/health benefits. Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients. While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals. This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged. In summary, we are soliciting high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design, prototyping and deployment. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Sensing of Vital Signs and Signatures . Wearable Medical Wireless Sensors, . Energy Saving for Long Time Monitoring . Software Architectures (Agent, SOA, Middleware, etc.) . UHealth Smart home Network Infrastructure and Gateway . Modeling Ubiquitous Healthcare Smart home Environment .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MACOM 2011 - 4th Int. Workshop on Multiple Access Communications Datum: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 16:56:17 +0100 Von: Christian Facchini <facchini(a)disi.unitn.it> Organisation: University of Trento - DISI An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, csim(a)comsoc.org MACOM 2011 - 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications September 11-13, 2011 - Trento, Italy http://www.csit-spb.ru/macom2011.html AIMS AND TOPICS --------------- In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels", and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques. The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas: * PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc. * Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc. * PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques * Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc. * Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools. The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cognitive radio networks * Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks * Cooperative wireless networks * QoS and radio resource management * Future Internet architectures considering cognitive, autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects. * Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular (3G/4G) and satellite communications * Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Submission deadline: 15 March 2011 * Notification of acceptance: 28 April 2011 * Camera-ready paper and authors registration: 20 May 2011 CONTACT ------- All questions / proposals should be sent to the MACOM 2011 Workshop Chairs (at macom2011(a)gmail.com).

The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. The fifth edition of the SASO conference emphasizes the interconnection of research between and within fields: application of self-* principles or systems to solve real-world problems or advance research in other research domains; advances in self-* mechanisms or analyses with potentially broad application; combination and interconnection of self-* systems; and extraction of new self-* principles or mechanisms from the study of natural or engineered systems. Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. A challenge is often to identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and control the resulting global behavior. The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Management and control of self-* systems * Design and engineering for self-* systems (self-organization, self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Applications and experiences with self-* systems PAPERS *********** Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. In addition to normal papers, authors are invited to submit "framework" papers. These papers are intended to facilitate dissemination of knowledge through and beyond the community. A "framework" paper should contain a review a coherent body of relevant phenomena, techniques, systems, or applications and distill this to produce a concrete roadmap for new applications that take advantage of this body of knowledge. http://www.cscs.umich.edu/SASO2011/index.php?menu=calls&submenu=papers Abstract submission: April 24, 2011 Paper submission: May 01, 2011 Notification: June 20, 2011 Camera ready version of accepted papers: July 18, 2011 POSTERS ************* The fifth SASO conference continues its tradition of offering poster sessions, a great opportunity for interactive presentation of diverse research. Poster sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and participants to engage in in-depth discussions about the presented work. Posters are an ideal format in which to present late-breaking results, innovations in their initial stages, and speculative/provocative ideas. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. http://www.cscs.umich.edu/SASO2011/index.php?menu=calls&submenu=posters Deadline for submission: May 30, 2011 Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 20, 2011 Camera ready poster abstract due: July 18, 2011 TUTORIALS *************** SASO 2011 will host a tutorial program for which it solicits proposals for tutorials to be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, on October 3 and 7, 2011. The goal of the tutorial program of SASO 2011 is to provide independent instruction on topics related to self-adaptive and self-organizing systems. For a guide on what topic areas, technologies and communities fall within the SASO focus refer to the Call for Papers, available on the conference website. We are planning for half-day (approx. 3.0 hours with one 30 minutes break) and full-day (approx. 6.0 hours with two 30 minutes breaks and a lunch break) durations. A tutorial may cover a wide scope of topics ranging from practical techniques and guidelines over standards to theoretical work. Please note that no marketing or product specific tutorials will be accepted. Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. Topics of broad interest are preferred. http://www.cscs.umich.edu/SASO2011/index.php?menu=calls&submenu=tutorials Proposal Submission Deadline: May 1, 2011 Presenter Notification: May 15, 2011 Tutorial Paper Submission Deadline (optional): June 22, 2011 Tutorial Paper Notification: July 4, 2011 Tutorial Paper Camera-Ready Deadline: July 18, 2011 Presentation handouts due: September 5, 2011 Tutorial presentation: October 3 and 7, 2011 WORKSHOPS ****************** The SASO 2011 Steering Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program to be held along with the technical conference. SASO 2011 workshops will provide a meeting for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. Its aim is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems. Members from all areas of the SASO community are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops on applications or on new and emerging topics are particularly encouraged. Workshops can vary in length, but most will be one full day in duration. Proceedings will be published through the IEEE . Attendance of one workshop will be free with registry for the main SASO conference; a workshop-only rate will be available as well. http://www.cscs.umich.edu/SASO2011/index.php?menu=calls&submenu=workshops Proposal submission deadline: March 21, 2011 Acceptance notification: April 04, 2011 Deadline for posting workshops call for papers: April 18, 2011 Submission of contributions to workshops: July 04, 2011 Workshop papers acceptance notification: July 25, 2011 Early registration deadline: to be announced Workshop papers camera-ready papers due: August 25, 2011 Deadline for complete workshop notes submission to Workshops chairs: August 30, 2010 Technical Meeting Committee ********************************** General chair Sven Brueckner, Jacobs Technology Inc., USA Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany Local chair Rick Riolo, University of Michigan, USA Finance chair Howard Oishi, University of Michigan, USA PC chair Jacob Beal, BBN Technologies, USA Katharina Zweig, University of Heidelberg, Germany Julie McCann, Imperial College London, UK Poster chair David Knoester, Michigan State University, USA Workshop chair Marco Mamei, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Tutorial chair Gero Muehl, University of Rostock, Germany Fabrice Saffre, Khalifa University of Science, Abu Dhabi, UAE Publicity chair Nearchos Paspallis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus Sam Malek, George Mason University, USA Publication chair Jerome Rolia, HP Labs, Bristol, UK Web chair Rick Riolo, University of Michigan, USA ============================================================ To contribute to SEWORLD, send your submission to mailto:seworld@sigsoft.org http://www.sigsoft.org/seworld provides more information on SEWORLD as well as a complete archive of messages posted to the list. ============================================================ _______________________________________________ ELG mailing list ELG(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de http://mail-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/elg

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IET Communications - Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols Von: "Nicopolitidis Petros" <petros(a)csd.auth.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: CALL FOR PAPERS IET Communications Special Issue on Energy Aware Wireless Network Protocols In today’s world, wireless systems have become an essential tool and provide solutions in everyday personal and business situations in an easy and cost-effective manner. Wireless networking affects a number of fields, including healthcare, environmental, home appliances, education, military applications, among others. In general, designing, developing and testing of an efficient wireless network protocol is a great challenge for the researchers in these areas. Moreover, the development of an application specific protocol in any of these fields depends on various factors including the security, miniaturization, application constraints, hardware constraints, and energy requirements. The traditional trend in wireless network protocol design and development is towards maximization of the performance observed by the end-user, in terms of perceived throughput, delay, QoS, etc. Nevertheless, the rate of advances in battery technology continues to lag behind that of semiconductor technology, which is still well predicted by the celebrated Moore’s law. This imbalance in the rate of advances creates a gap between the energy a wireless network needs to operate and the battery capacity that powers its nodes. Hence, the requirement of Energy-Efficiency appears as an extremely important property of new protocols for wireless networks with battery-powered mobile nodes. Moreover, Energy-Efficiency is the tool to realize the vision of green wireless networks, which are deemed important these days due to the increasing share of wireless systems of the total energy expended in communications and networking systems. Energy-awareness contributes to achieving the task of energy-efficiency, as it provides the ability to networking protocols to adapt their operation according to the energy reserves of the network nodes and thus increase the energy-efficiency of a system. The objective of this special issue is to report state-of-the art results in energy-aware wireless networking protocols by welcoming contributions originating from both academic and industrial research. These should be original contributions solicited in relevant areas of energy-efficient wireless networking protocols. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list: • Energy-cognizant protocol design and network architectures • Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms • Energy-efficient MAC protocols • Energy-efficient routing protocols • Energy-efficient transport protocols • Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols • Energy-efficient communication protocols • Adaptive energy efficient protocols. • Energy efficiency in protocols for wireless sensor networks. • Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions • Innovative power control techniques. • Energy-efficient applications for wireless networks. • Novel applications of energy efficient wireless networking protocols Paper Format Submitted papers, which should be unpublished and not currently under review by another journal, must follow the IET guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MobiCom 2011 Datum: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 00:46:36 -0800 Von: Habib M. Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom 2011 The 17th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Planned for September 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom 2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held in Las Vegas, NV, USA, in late September, 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. 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline Extended: IEEE Communications Magazine, Feature topic onTraffic Management for Mobile Broadband Networks Datum: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:46:35 +1100 (EST) Von: Jahan Ara Hassan <jahan(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br, tccn(a)comsoc.org IEEE Communications Magazine, Feature topic on Traffic Management for Mobile Broadband Networks Extended Deadline: 04 February 2011. CFP: With mobile terminals becoming the primary Internet devices for most of the people in the world and smartphone users generating on average 10 times more traffic than other users, it is critical that Telco operators and ISPs adopt smarter traffic management and pricing strategies. Current forecasts expect mobile data traffic to grow by 300-500 times more over the next 10 years, whereas the capacity of cellular infrastructure only doubles every 2 years. By 2020, more than half of the revenue in the global broadband industry is likely to be from two business models: wholesale and .two-sided. fees for improved access capacity and quality. Those models require the enforcement of stringent policy control mechanisms for bandwidth management, QoS and service level agreements, according to subscriber policies with real-time perspective on usage, location, device and user type, radio access technology, network capacity and topology. In this area, several research challenges are still to be addressed: . How can the network be made service-, state- and/or context-aware in order to apply specific policies to enhance the end user experience (QoE)? . How can the service provider bridge QoE and QoS, and change the QoS level based on spending limits? . How can different IP flows of the same packet data network (PDN) be routed via different accesses? In addition, how is it possible to move IP flows of the same PDN from one access to another for seamless WLAN offload or for usage of WLAN access to connect to Internet without traversing operator's core network? . How can selected IP traffic be offloaded from the cellular infrastructure and save transmission costs? . How can mobile networks be optimized for mass machine-type communications/applications? . How to optimize the utilization of Digital Dividend (unprecedented amount of spectrum that becomes available as a result of the switchover from analog to digital terrestrial TV)? This timely feature topic issue of IEEE Communications Magazine will bring together researchers from industry, academia and standardization bodies to present and analyze the above challenging issues in the important area of managing traffic for existing and future mobile broadband networks, i.e. within and beyond the existing standardization frameworks (3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE 802.16, etc.). We are soliciting original research, analysis of live networks or test beds, and survey articles written in a tutorial style, comprehensible to all readers of the magazine. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . IP flow mobility, seamless WLAN / Femtocell offload and related policy control . Network enhancements, such as signaling management, local IP access and selected IP traffic offload (internet traffic, corporate traffic, etc.), packet scheduling and prioritization . Network improvements for mass machine-type communications . Compression, rate-adaptation and transcoding . Device-based traffic management techniques . Contention management and tuning TCP/IP . Deep packet inspection, policy-based traffic shaping & differential charging . Segmentation by users, services, devices, technology, etc. . End-to-end service assurance and QoE monitoring . Caching, multicast and CDNs for http-based streaming and download services . Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management . Software/middleware architectures and solutions . QoS-oriented network planning . Digital Dividend for mobile broadband services Manuscript Submission and Schedule Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
