-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP Resource Constrained Systems (Philadelphia, USA) Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:55:42 +0100 Von: Herve Guyennet <guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr> Antwort an: herve.guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr, guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, itc(a)comsoc.org, commsoft(a)ieee.org WORKSHOP ON CHALLENGES IN RESOURCE CONSTRAINED SYSTEMS (CRCS 2011) As part of 2011 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2011) - 23-27 May, 2011 - Philadelphia, USA http://cts2011.cisedu.info/ IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: December 30, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2011 Camera Ready Papers and Registration Due: March 1, 2011 Conference Dates: May 23 - 27, 2011 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Resource constrained systems present significant limitations of resources and therefore require innovative solutions. The resource can be either energy (when it's a limiting factor for the global working time like in sensor networks), or computational time (e.g., for systems with small computational capacities like embedded devices or smart cards). It can also be delivery time (for systems which have to give an answer in a bounded time like real-time systems), or data availability (when data is a central and essential point in the system like in medical systems). The solutions for constrained systems can not only adapt existing approaches for traditional systems as they open a whole new world of opportunities and new applications. Tightly coupled to the physical world, constrained systems need different kinds of programming, of communication and of interfacing. This workshop is focused on resource constrained systems, specifically those used as collaboration systems. The collaborative point of view in constrained systems covers several key aspects: data management, protocols, applications, sharing and exchanging, performance evaluation. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: • Data and Resource Sharing • Data Collection and Analysis • Data Fusion and Aggregation • Resource-aware Protocols and Applications • Connectivity, Deployment and Routing • Topology Issues in RCS • QoS issues • Innovative Applications • Trusted Resource Constrained Systems and Applications • Trust and Security • Performance Evaluation of RCS • Modeling and Simulation • Resource Constrained Sensors • Highly Resource Constrained Mobile Platforms • Real-time Computing Systems • Resource Constrained Embedded Systems PAPER SUBMISSION You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to CRCS. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the workshop organizers.

Fwd: CfP: 2nd Int. Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 2nd Int. Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA) Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:11:06 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this. -- 2nd International Workshop on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS May 22, 2011, Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii http://www.sesena.info In conjunction with ACM/IEEE Int. Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a fundamental building-block of the upcoming Internet of Things, as they enable seamless integration of the digital and physical worlds. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on the individual, hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce re- sources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable envi- ronmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the develop- ment task and increase the confidence in the correctness and perfor- mance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. The aim of SESENA11 is to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange their recent research re- sults on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The for- mer will allow discussing in technical depth novel results with an au- dience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will pro- vide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously-unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA11 will also include a "speakers' corner" session composed by impromptu pre- sentations where any of the attendees (including those without an ac- cepted paper) will be given a chance to present their own views in very short statements (e.g., 2-4 minutes). TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop solicits contributions including, but not limited to, the following aspects of SE for sensor networks: * (macro)programming languages and compilers; * testing and debugging; * formal verification and model checking; * model-driven approaches; * interfacing WSNs and business software SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules (see http://2011.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines). Re- search papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. See the SESENA11 web site (http://www.sesena.info) for submission instructions. The program committee will review all submissions for quality, rele- vance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Ac- cepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site.

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/. Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, complete contact information (indicating the primary contact author), a 250-word abstract, and 3-5 keywords, via an e-mail to all of the guest editors.

China ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JANUARY 2, 2011 ******* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The High-Speed Networks Workshop (HSN 2011) will be a half-day event focusing on the latest research and developments in the high-speed networking and applications areas. Indeed, advances in a myriad of backbone technologies have now delivered unprecedented bandwidth scalabilities for users. As a result, the focus for many has evolved towards leveraging these solutions to build new architectures and offer novel dynamic services across heterogeneous network regions.

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. Work-in-progress systems, provocative ideas, and position papers paving the road towards such synergy and convergence are particularly welcome. 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: - Resource management of Cooperating Objects - Quality-of-Service in networks of Cooperating Objects - Hardware platforms for Cooperating Objects - Mobile and distributed sensing - Hybrid cooperation of static and mobile nodes - Communication and control of mobile Cooperating Objects - Distributed control and estimation over networks - Decentralized algorithms for control over wireless sensor networks - Decentralized, distributed, and cooperative optimization - Applications of control of Cooperating Objects - Real-time aspects of Cooperation Objects - System software for Cooperating Objects - Communication support for Cooperating Objects - Real-world deployments of Cooperating Objects - Applications of Cooperating Objects to Body Area Networks - Cooperating Objects in Complex Systems - Security and Privacy in Cooperating Objects - Enterprise Integration of Cooperating Objects - Application of wireless sensor networks on Pervasive computing - Closed-loop applications of pervasive computing Paper Submission A paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.

While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

-------- 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.

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. Complete guidelines can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html . All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:80/commag-ieee . ï· Full Paper Submission Deadline: 28 January 2011 ï· Decisions Notification: 22 May 2011 ï· Final Manuscripts Due: 30 June 2011 ï· Publication of Special Issue: Second Half of 2011 Guest Editors: Dr. David Soldani (Corresponding Editor) Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
