-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Communication Infrastructures for Smart Grid Von: "Chin, Woon Hau" <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Communication Infrastructures for Smart Grid Background Over the past decades, rapid technological advancements and changes in electrical consumption behavior have drastically increased the demand on the power grid. In order to cope with future demand increases as well as to provide a more robust and efficient way of delivering and distributing electricity, developing smart grid has become an urgent global priority. In the past few years, governments have stepped up efforts to promote smart grid as a viable solution to future energy problems. Standards organizations are also shaping the development of smart grid by defining the characteristics of smart grid. At the same time, the industry begins to invest in enabling technologies for smart grid. With the growth of alternative energy generation and storage, the smart grid system will have to be able to intelligently integrate and control the different elements of the grid so as to realize the full potential of the system. Communication infrastructures are at the core of the smart ! grid as they will empower the legacy power grid with the capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and empowering the consumer with tools for optimizing their energy consumption. With most of the framework defined, there are still many important issues which need to be resolved before smart grid can be operationally ready for the market. We plan this special issue to help address that need, and would like the special issue to focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in communication infrastructures for smart grid. Scope The papers in this special issue will focus on research and experiments in various aspects of smart grid communication infrastructures. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following: • Demand Response • Network Resource Optimization • Congestion Management for Smart Grid Communications • Self-healing and Self-optimizing Networking • Networking for Smart Grid (e.g. ROLL, 6LoWPAN, IP) • Cyber Security and Privacy • Field Trials • Regulatory Issues • Standardization and Interoperability Manuscript Submission Articles should be of tutorial in nature and authors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines for preparation of the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Guidelines for manuscripts" at the IEEE Network magazine web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/ni/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: First Call For Papers: CONET 2011 Datum: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 09:20:34 +0100 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> Call for Papers: CONET 2011 The Second International Workshop on Networks of Cooperating Objects CONET 2011 http://www.cooperating-objects.eu/events/conet-2011/ April 11th, 2011 – Chicago, USA Co-located with CPSWeek 2011 During the last decade, the continuous improvement and miniaturization of integrated circuits has led to new types of computing systems. An emerging trend is the collaboration of miniature devices to achieve a common goal. Representative examples include wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing and embedded systems. Along this trend, the notion of Cooperating Objects collectively refers to embedded computing devices equipped with communication as well as sensing or actuation capabilities, able to cooperate and organize themselves autonomously into networks to achieve a common task. As such, Cooperating Objects envision a single, coherent system formed by a wide range of devices, including those from the areas mentioned above. The complexity germane to the interaction inside and across networks of Cooperating Objects presents a rich set of research questions, and entails a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as networking, software engineering, and control theory. CONET 2011 will provide a discussion forum for researchers, aimed at fostering synergy and convergence of complementary areas towards the vision of networks of Cooperating Objects.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IWPCM : 2nd call for paper Datum: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 14:42:50 +0100 Von: Jean-Marie Gorce <jean-marie.gorce(a)insa-lyon.fr> Organisation: INSA-Lyon An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> This is the second call. We apologize for multiple copies ! ---SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN ON THE WEBSITE --- International Workshop on Propagation and Channel Models for Next Generation Wireless Systems, March 2-4, 2011, Lyon, France More information: http://iwpcm.conf.citi-lab.fr The wireless access networks deployment during the last decades was assisted by specific tools devoted to planning and optimization. The accuracy and effectiveness of such software rely for an important part on the quality of the radio channel prediction. Up to now, cellular networks exploited dedicated radio resources and were deployed under thorough design and planning procedures. Due to the radio spectrum scarcity, two fundamental changes are anticipated. Firstly, the strict reservation of a specific band for a unique standard could evolve toward a priority policy allowing the co-existence of secondary users in a band allocated to a primary system. Secondly, a strong densification of actual cellular networks is expected by combining small outdoor cells and indoor femtocells (Home eNodeB) together with actual systems. This evolution is accompanied with the emergence of cognitive radio that becomes a reality in terminals and the development of self-organization capabilities together with distributed cooperative behaviours. Therefore, the aim of this new workshop is to give new solutions in order to efficiently study the performance of next generation mobile networks, with a particular focus on propagation and channel models. The workshop will feature keynote addresses by: Dr Chia-Chin Chong (NTT Docomo, USA), Prof Luis Correia (Technical University of Lisbon), Prof Thomas Kürner (Technische Universität Braunschweig), Dr Su-Khiong Yong (Marvell Semiconductor) and others to be confirmed Main Topics Academic and industrial researchers are encouraged to submit papers identifying and discussing all the recent issues related to propagation and channel modeling for future wireless systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Deterministic versus statistical channel models, - Outdoor to indoor channel modeling, - Indoor to outdoor channel modeling, - Characterization of relay channels, - Space and time correlated models for shadowing and/or fading, - Non-Gaussian MIMO channel simulation and modeling, - Radio propagation for heterogeneous networking, - Propagation simulation tools for femto/pico/macro cells, - Propagation models for next generation systems, - Indoor/outdoor radio propagation models and scenarios, - Simulation and measurements comparison, - Diversity characterization in space/polarization/time or frequency, The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 4-5 pages standard IEEE conference style paper to this workshop. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Extended versions of some selected papers will be proposed for publication in the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, special issue on Radio Propagation, Channel Modeling and Wireless Channel Simulation tools for Heterogeneous Networking Evaluation.

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.

Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices, equipped with multiple sensors, can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In these systems, it is of critical importance to properly resolve the complex interactions between various computational and physical elements. This special issue aims to identify emerging research topics in CPS from the mobile communication and networking perspective. In particular, by properly addressing complex interactions between cyber and physical elements of CPS, we focus on challenging issues in networking that need to be resolved for deriving eventual working solutions for CPS. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Theoretical foundations of CPS * Modeling, analysis, and simulation of CPS * Architectures for CPS * Emerging CPS applications * Empirical case studies for CPS * Security and privacy in CPS * Energy-efficient design of CPS Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: Feb. 28, 2011 Author notification: May 31, 2011 Revised paper due: July 31, 2011 Final author notification: September 15, 2011 Guest Editors Prof. Kyung-Joon Park Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea E-mail: kjp(a)snu.ac.kr Prof. Xue Liu University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska, USA E-mail: xueliu(a)cse.unl.edu Prof. Rong Zheng University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA E-mail: rzheng(a)cs.uh.edu Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Cyber-Physical Systems" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. -- ******************************************************************** Kyung-Joon Park Research Assistant Professor School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Tel: +82-2-880-1765 Cell: +82-10-9249-1404 Email: kjp(a)snu.ac.kr Web: http://csl.snu.ac.kr/~kjpark/ ******************************************************************* _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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 âtwo-sidedâ 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: ï· 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)? ï· How can the service provider bridge QoE and QoS, and change the QoS level based on spending limits? ï· 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? ï· How can selected IP traffic be offloaded from the cellular infrastructure and save transmission costs? ï· How can mobile networks be optimized for mass machine-type communications/applications? ï· 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: ï· IP flow mobility, seamless WLAN / Femtocell offload and related policy control ï· Network enhancements, such as signaling management, local IP access and selected IP traffic offload (internet traffic, corporate traffic, etc.), packet scheduling and prioritization ï· Network improvements for mass machine-type communications ï· Compression, rate-adaptation and transcoding ï· Device-based traffic management techniques ï· Contention management and tuning TCP/IP ï· Deep packet inspection, policy-based traffic shaping & differential charging ï· Segmentation by users, services, devices, technology, etc. ï· End-to-end service assurance and QoE monitoring ï· Caching, multicast and CDNs for http-based streaming and download services ï· Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management ï· Software/middleware architectures and solutions ï· QoS-oriented network planning ï· 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. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6 (mathematical equations should be avoided). Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 10:14:43 -0500 Von: Yu Wang <yu.wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <dmanet(a)zpr.uni-koeln.de> ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2011 Camera ready: June 1st, 2011 Publication of special issue: Fall, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers
by Mario Fanelli 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

(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. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by February 28 2011 using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).
