-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Computer Communications Special Issue on Convergence of Mobility, Networking, and Computing in Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:19:45 +0900 Von: Kyung-Joon Park <kjp(a)snu.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Computer Communications (Elsevier) Call for Papers Special Issue on Convergence of Mobility, Networking, and Computing in Cyber-Physical Systems Scope The convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computing, networking, and physical processes. 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/ ******************************************************************* _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) Datum: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 16:22:09 -0500 (CDT) Von: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)cs.siu.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ************************************************************************* International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) in conjunction with The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 5-8, 2011 Bahcesehir University, Istanbul, Turkey ************************************************************************* Call for Papers --------------- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can eliminate/reduce human intervention and provide fully-automated data gathering systems for numerous applications. However, WSNs may operate in inhospitable environments and become prone to sensor failures which not only can degrade the quality of coverage but also disrupt the data traffic. To address such a problem, most approaches in the literature deploy redundant nodes during network setup and reconfigure the network topology to establish alternate data paths. However, sometimes the network suffers a large scale damage that involves many nodes and would thus create multiple disjoint partitions. For these cases, a provisioned approach for tolerating occasional failures at the network design level will not be effective. A similar scenario happens when an application can be leveraged by engaging a number of standalone WSNs. For example, the disaster response may involve collaboration among multiple governmental agencies and may need to combine the services of their autonomously-operating WSNs in the search-and-rescue process. Connecting such multiple WSNs or partitions of a damaged WSN is referred to as federation and these networks are called Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS). The purpose of this workshop is to establish a platform to exchange ideas among researchers for creation, operation and management of FedSenS involving various heterogeneous sensor and gateway nodes. Topics of Interest Original, unpublished and unsubmitted work is sought in terms of algorithms, techniques, architectures, position papers, visionary approaches and modeling to deploy and maintain FedSenS. The workshop program invites papers on various aspects of the FedSenS including, but not limited to, the following: Self-federation using existing resources and node mobility Federation through relay node placement Distributed technique for detecting network partitioning Area coverage and network connectivity trade-offs Service oriented federation models Delay-constrained reliable data communication in FedSenS Topology control for improved QoS (i.e., delay or reliability) Sensor data correlation and fusion in FedSenS Reliable federated storage and querying of sensor data Handling uncertainties through federation Interoperability issues Security and privacy issues in data sharing Military and civilian security applications for FedSenS Performance evaluation and testbeds for FedSenS Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: Dec. 15th, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: March 15th, 2011 Registration & Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 1st, 2011 Submission Instructions Please submit papers electronically (as PDF files) using EDAS: http://edas.info/N9425 Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages with 10pt or larger font size in standard IEEE Transactions double-column format including text, figures and references, templates: http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_jou… Please use US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) page size.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: Submitted papers must be written in grammatically correct English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

The workshop will be sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM), the Autonomic Communications Forum, EMANICS, and the POSTECH ITCE (all pending). It is widely agreed that, despite its many successes, the current Internet also has a set of systemic problems, ranging from an upcoming shortage of IP addresses to insufficient security. However, the lack of scalable and agile manageability is arguably more important, as without management, it is impossible to build systems that adapt the services and resources offered in a context-dependent manner. In either case (clean slate vs. evolution vs. revolution), we must consider the manageability of the Future Internet from the beginning. Following the success of the two previous editions of this workshop, held in conjunction with IM 2009 and NOMS 2010, this workshop aims at providing an international forum for researchers in these and similar areas. ManFI 2011 will combine original full paper presentations with a motivating keynote, quick hot topic presentations and a panel discussion to thoroughly explore this challenging topic. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited, to the following: - Architectural Issues of managing the Future Internet - Advantages and disadvantages of revolutionary, evolutionary, and other approaches to managing the Future Internet - Separation of data, control, and management planes - Design of architectural building blocks for managing the Future Internet - Advances in measurement, management, security, accounting, mobility, and other functions - Virtualization of resources and services - Dynamic composition of management and operational functionality - Architectural design principles to accommodate the diverse interests of stakeholders - Management of social networks - Design and Implementation Issues - Abstractions for programmable network elements - Accommodating context-awareness in management - Designing and implementing situation awareness - Automation of management functionality - Information exchange between different management layers, systems, and components - The role of models, ontologies, and other knowledge abstractions in the Future Internet - Uncertainty and probabilistic approaches to management of the Future Internet - Data analysis and visualization of large sets of management data - Economic Issues - Economic aspects driving the deployment of Future Internet management technology - Economic opportunities and challenges for management technology - Experience reports from management in testbeds Paper Submission: Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

As a result, most of the public places such as airports, train stations, banks, shopping malls, subways and streets are nowadays equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia surveillance systems. These systems are meant to process the sensory data to automatically detect the suspicious or unusual behavior of the people and alert the security personnel so that a preventive action can be taken. Although this surveillance infrastructure has proved to be highly useful from a security perspective; there has been apprehension among people in regard to their privacy safeguards. Citizens have increasingly begun to object to being watched electronically. Hence, there is a need of preserving privacy of people yet providing them a sense of security through effective surveillance. Although there has been a significant progress in the field of surveillance research, the issues related to people's privacy have often been overlooked in the past and have only begun to attract the attention of researchers very recently. The goal of this issue is to bring forth the recent advancements in the privacy research for multimedia surveillance. Original and unpublished contributions covering the following and related issues concerned with privacy in multi-sensor multimedia surveillance settings are solicited: · Privacy considerations in acquisition and transmission of multimedia data · Privacy issues in multimedia information processing: fusion, analysis, presentation, and publication of multimedia data · Privacy in multimedia databases: storage, access, indexing and retrieval · Theory and models: assessment of privacy and utility, privacy leakage and covert channels · Ethical and legal issues of privacy Submission Details —--------------------- Submitting authors should follow the Author Guidelines available from http://www.ifi.uio.no/MMSJ/author.html. All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. Guest Editors —-------------- Pradeep K. Atrey, University of Winnipeg, Canada Mohan S.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Aufruf zur Einreichung (CfP) SAKS 2011, Deadline 31.10. Datum: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 13:17:45 +0200 Von: Michael Zapf <Michael.Zapf(a)UNI-KASSEL.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei schicke ich den Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen für einen neuen Durchgang unseres SAKS-Workshops, der nächstes Jahr in Kiel bei der KiVS 2011 stattfinden wird. Weitere Details entnehmen Sie bitte dem unten stehenden Text. Viele Grüße Michael Zapf ================================================================================================== == SAKS 2011 Workshop at KIVS 2011| Call for Papers == CALL FOR PAPERS SAKS 2011 Workshop im Rahmen von KIVS 2011: Selbstorganisierende, adaptive, kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme (SAKS) 10.-11. März 2011 - Kiel, Deutschland Homepage: http://www.kivs11.de/lang/de/workshops/workshop-on-self-organising-context-… Einreichung: https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/ WICHTIGE DATEN Frist für die Einreichung von Beiträgen: 31.10.2010 Benachrichtigung der Autoren: 28.11.2010 Endgültige Fassung: 19.12.2010 ================= SAKS 2011: Selbstorganisierende, adaptive, kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme (SAKS) MOTIVATION Zunehmende Vernetzung und Verteilung der Anwendungen in einer Welt, die immer weiter von Informationstechnologie durchdrungen wird, bringt große Herausforderungen für die Entwicklung dieser Anwendungen mit sich. Ubiquitous und Pervasive Computing erfordern die Beherrschung immer komplexer werdender Systeme, die nicht mehr nur statisch konfiguriert oder manuell gesteuert werden können. Hier setzt dieser Workshop an, indem die Anforderungen an solche Systeme, nämlich dynamische Anpassung, Autonomie und Selbst-Eigenschaften thematisiert und ihre Umsetzung diskutiert werden sollen. In diesem Workshop soll insbesondere Raum geschaffen werden, diese Fragen in Kontakt mit aktuellen Main-Stream-Technologien wie SOA, MDA u.a. zu bringen und die Methodenentwicklung thematisieren. Sind Selbstorganisation und Emergenz in solchen Systemen zu unterdrücken oder zu kontrollieren? Sind Selbstorganisation und Emergenz im Systementwurf planbar und wenn ja, mit welchen Methoden und Werkzeugen? Sind Systeme, die für statische Konfiguration und manuelle Steuerung ausgelegt waren, nachträglich mit den gewünschten Eigenschaften automatisierbar und wie sehen Methoden des Re-Design bzw. Re-Engineering aus? Wie arbeiten Methoden und Architekturen zusammen? Anwendungsstudien und praktische Tauglichkeit von Systemen mit Adaptivität, Autonomie und Selbst-Eigenschaften sind von besonderem Interesse, da sie letztendlich über den Erfolg der hier thematisierten Forschungs- und Entwicklungsrichtung entscheidet. Interdisziplinäre Offenheit ist für diesen Workshop ein wesentlicher Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Main-Stream-Techniken, Architekturen und Methoden sollen in Kontakt gebracht werden mit neuen Entwurfsmethoden, die bionisch inspiriert oder von der Complex-Systems-Forschung beeinflusst sind. Doch technische Fragen alleine können nicht maßgeblich für die Durchsetzung einer neuen Technologie sein. Sind Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation auch außerhalb unserer Prototypen, also im großen Maßstab, einsetzbar - können sie alltagstauglich werden? Welche Chancen eröffnen sich für den Einsatz adaptiver und selbstorganisierender IT? Schließlich, und gerade im technischen Kontext viel zu selten betrachtet werden Fragen gesellschaftlicher und rechtlicher Implikationen des Einsatzes solcher Systeme. Im dem Maße, wie wir die Kontrolle an das System abgeben, muss das Vertrauen in die einwandfreie Funktion des Systems wachsen. Wir verfolgen in der Themenwahl für diesen Workshop einen klar interdisziplinären Kurs, der sich damit von verwandten Veranstaltungen abgrenzt, welche eine Auswahl überwiegend technischer Themen vorsehen. Ziel soll sein, die Vielschichtigkeit der neuen adaptiven, selbstorganisierenden Systeme in für die Forschung als auch für die Gesellschaft bedeutenden Aspekten zu beleuchten. ZIEL Dieser Workshop soll die erfolgreiche Workshop-Reihe SAKS, die sich in den Jahren 2006-2010 (darunter bereits zweimal als KiVS-Workshop) dem Thema Selbstorganisation und Adaption widmete, im Rahmen der KiVS 2011 in Kiel fortsetzen. Der Workshop soll eine Bestandsaufnahme von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum bieten. Dabei soll die Kooperation der beteiligten Akteure weiter gestärkt und mittelfristig zu einer höheren internationalen Sichtbarkeit der deutschsprachigen Forschung und Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet geführt werden. Die Teilnahme von Vertretern aus der Industrie ausdrücklich erwünscht, um den Kontakt zur industriellen Praxis zu intensivieren und gemeinsame Interessen auszuloten. ORGANISATION Die geplante Dauer des Workshops beträgt - je nach Anzahl akzeptierter Beiträge - eine ganzen oder ein bis zwei halbe Tage. Das Workshop-Programm soll aus der Präsentation der ausgewählten Beiträge, einem eingeladenen Vortrag und ggf. einer Podiumsdiskussion bestehen. THEMEN UND BEITRÄGE Der Workshop wird sich den Themen der Selbstorganisation und Adaption in IT-Systemen widmen und dieses Themenfeld aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchten.

Fwd: [InternetTC] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Traffic Management for Mobile Broadband Networks
by Lars Wolf 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Traffic Management for Mobile Broadband Networks Datum: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:43:22 +1100 Von: Jahan Hassan <jahan(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: itc(a)comsoc.org (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) *IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on Traffic Management for Mobile Broadband Networks * * * *Call for Papers * 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. 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.  Full Paper Submission Deadline: 28 January 2011  Decisions Notification: 22 May 2011  Final Manuscripts Due: 30 June 2011  Publication of Special Issue: Second Half of 2011 Guest Editors: Dr. David Soldani (Corresponding Editor) Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [COMSNETS 2011] COMSNETS 2011 PhD Forum: Call for Submissions Datum: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 09:35:44 -0400 Von: COMSNETS 2011 <comsnets11(a)ee.iitb.ac.in> Antwort an: comsnets11(a)ee.iitb.ac.in An: Lars C Wolf <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> CC: comsnets11(a)ee.iitb.ac.in (Sent on behalf of the COMSNETS PhD Forum Chair, Bhaskaran Raman) *Please note:* since this is a presentation/feedback event, and no publication is involved, it is perfectly fine to submit in-progress or prior published work. And there is *registration/travel support* available for the selected participants. http://www.comsnets.org/PhDforum.html http://www.comsnets.org/ *COMSNETS 2011 PhD Student Forum* The COMSNETS 2011 PhD student forum is an event where the presenters will exclusively be PhD students, as the event name suggests. The goals of this event are: 1. To enable PhD students to get quality feedback on their ongoing work, from the conference participants. 2. To enable interaction among PhD students, and between PhD students and potential employers! Thus PhD students as well as potential employers stand to gain from this forum. *Conference Attendance Support* The PhD student participants selected for this forum will automatically be eligible for conference attendance support. This will be in terms of a travel grant and substantial registration fee support. *Event Structure* The event will be structured as a series of 12-15 minute presentations (strictly timed!). Depending on the participation, we may have two parallel tracks. There will be a best student presentation award. Students selected for participation will be expected to go through a feedback-based revision process for their presentation, prior to the conference. This is to have improved quality as well as better control over time at the conference session. *Important Dates* Submission date: 15 October 2010 Notification date: 26 November 2010 *What to Submit* Students have to submit two things: 1. A 15-minute presentation, as they would be presenting at the conference if their submission is selected. This presentation should include: * The PhD problem motivation and problem statement * A crisp view of related work (i.e. why the problem is still unsolved) * An overview of the technical contributions thus far, including the main results and their implications The presentation should typically be about 8-10 slides. Including many more slides is likely to be counter-productive. 2. A 2-page extended abstract to help the reader understand the above slides. This abstract may refer to figures, tables, or graphs in the presentation slides. The topics of interest for this forum are the same as for the main COMSNETS-2011 conference. *Clarification:* Since there is no publication involved with this event, students can submit already completed/published work, or even work currently under submission elsewhere (including COMSNETS-2011). *How to Submit* Please watch the PhD forum web-page for further instructions. *Evaluation Committee* The students' submissions will be evaluated by the following technical program committee. * Vinayak Naik, IIIT-Delhi * Bhaskaran Raman, Dept. of CSE, IIT Bombay (Chair) * Vinay Ribiero, Dept. of CSE, IIT Delhi * Vikram Srinivasan, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs Contact If you have any queries, please contact the PhD Forum Chair, Bhaskaran Raman at "username: br" @ "domain: cse.iitb.ac.in".

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] IEEE ComMag SI on "Communications Middleware for Mobile Devices and Applications" Datum: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:28:39 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ***************************************************************************************************** Call for Papers - *IEEE Communications Magazine *Special Issue on *"Communications Middleware for Mobile Devices and Applications" *Paper submission deadline: December 31, 2010 Special issue publication: September 2011 ***************************************************************************************************** Since device miniaturization, wireless communications, and ubiquitous availability of sensors and computing/memory resources are making more and more feasible mobility-enhanced services to exploit all potential and opportunities of mobile computing, the ultimate goal of the mobility scenarios is becoming the realization of ubiquitous, pervasive, and eventually disappearing computing, i.e., the seamless and transparent collaboration of wireless devices to most human activities without the need of explicit user/administration intervention. However, this vision introduces novel challenging issues and strong motivations for next generation middleware supports (either infrastructure based or peer-to-peer) capable of simplifying the development, deployment, and runtime management of mobile applications that adapt to their changing execution environments with minimum impact and complexity for application developers. In particular, we claim that there is the need for novel middleware solutions capable of addressing connectivity-level, location-dependent, and context-dependent support aspects, by specifically focusing on tremendously challenging research issues, such as scalability and interoperability in open wide-scale deployment environments, which are all crucial for next generation mobile applications. According to this vision, this special issue intends to disseminate the latest results in the emergent and large research area of middleware for mobile devices and applications, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art about middleware architectures, mechanisms, algorithms, and integrated frameworks. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment over real wide-scale execution environments are welcome, as well as original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas. In other words, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to heterogeneous mobile connectivity (always best served, simultaneous exploitation of multiple heterogeneous wireless interfaces, ); - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to location-dependent mobile applications; - Original mechanisms, algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for middleware support to context-dependent mobile applications; - Power-aware middleware for mobile devices and mobile applications; - Middleware for better exploitation of ubiquitous and under-utilized connectivity resources; - Infrastructure-based or peer-to-peer middleware for mobile collaborations and emerging aggregated behaviors of collaborative sharing; - Performance, reliability, and efficiency of middleware supports for mobile applications; - Scalability of middleware solutions over large deployment environments; - Practical experience with standards, standardized cross-layer APIs, and open deployment environments; - Middleware for mobile application porting and device fragmentation issues; - Predictive mobility/traffic models for proactive middleware management; - Simulation aspects and tools for mobile middleware; - Security (in particular, privacy) for mobile middleware; - Middleware for mobile application and smartphone platforms (Java ME, Windows Mobile, .NET Compact Framework, Android, iPhone, Symbian, etc.); - Middleware for mobile communications in urban-scale smart environments (smart homes, smart cars, smart cities, etc.); - Middleware for mobile applications for social networking, gaming, healthcare, culture, tourism, commerce, targeted advertising, etc. _Submission Process: _Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside this special field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP, Deadline Extended to 31 October ICC 2011 Workshop, E2NETS Datum: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:39:30 +0200 Von: Ertan Onur - EWI <E.Onur(a)tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Apologies if you receive multiple copies) IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop On Energy Efficiency in Ad hoc Networks & Ad hoc Networks for Energy Efficiency (E2Nets) Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: October 31, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: January 11, 2011 Camera‐Ready Submissions: February 11, 2011 CFP: http://www.ieee-icc.org/resource/workshop_pdf/S4_ICC2011_Workshop_E2NETS_CF… Workshop web link: http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl Workshop submission link: http://edas.info/N9287 The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumptio n is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. In E2Nets, the following topics of energy efficiency in sensor, mesh, and ad-hoc networks are considered: ・ Physical layer techniques, channel or network coding for energy efficiency ・ Methodologies and architectures for energy efficiency ・ Energy-efficiency measures ・ Energy-efficient flooding and multicast ・ Energy-efficient device and service discovery ・ Collaborative, cooperative, cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency ・ Algorithms for scheduling and resource management ・ Energy harvesting ・ Cognitive networking for energy reduction in large scale environments ・ Device level collaboration and cognition for energy efficiency ・ User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns ・ Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals ・ Energy efficiency using harvesting in sensor, ad hoc, mesh and vehicular networks. To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial, home, office environments, applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: ・ ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. ・ Energy efficient cloud computing and emerging applications, ・ Sensor and ad hoc networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments ・ Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions ・ ICT for energy-efficient data centers The first workshop in Cape Town with ICC-2010 was well received with approximately 33% acceptance ratio. The highlights of the workshop were: (a) an open forum allowing everyone to participate actively and debating the ideas to be pursued further; and (b) papers from many fields and areas focusing on energy efficiency issues related to ICT. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Paper submission is via EDAS. IEEE publication policy and author guidelines can be found on http://www.ieee-icc.org/2011/author_guide.php. Paper length should be 5 pages (A4, pdf) max, with one page extra at an over-length charge.

CfP Workshop on Semantic Services for the Internet of Things (SSIT) (at KiVS’11, Kiel, Germany)
by Alexander Kröller 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

============================================================================ SSIT 2011 Call for Papers Workshop on Semantic Services for the Internet of Things (SSIT) co-located with the the 17th Conference on "Communication in Distributed Systems 2011" (KiVS’11, Kiel, Germany) Workshop date: 10-11.03.2011 (Thursday afternoon – Friday until lunch) http://www.kivs11.de/lang/en/workshops/workshop-on-semantic-services-for-th… ============================================================================ Today, people perceive the Internet as a system to request information from servers (Web 1.0) or to contribute information (Web 2.0). In the meantime, embedded computing has developed and grown enormously, where tiny autonomous devices, such as wireless sensor nodes, form distributed sensing systems. The next grand challenge is the amalgamation of the Internet and the world of embedded devices to form an Internet of Things (IoT) where all kinds of devices extend the Internet into the physical world. The advent of an interoperable MAC layer (IEEE 802.15.4) and IPv6 connectivity for resource-constraint devices (6LoWPAN) are essential first steps. However, as the number of IoT devices is envisioned to surpass the number of nodes in the Internet by several orders of magnitude, IP connectivity is just a first milestone on the way of designing and developing IoT applications. Beyond basic networking there is a need for unifying concepts, methods, and software infrastructures that allow the efficient development of robust, interoperable, and scalable IoT applications spanning and integrating the Internet and the embedded world. Open issues include discovery, search, and management of services as well as service invocation on IoT devices in a highly scalable manner. Another fundamental aspect is the unified description of the semantics of the services provided by the embedded devices. While existing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are designed for PC class devices, there is a lack of light-weight approaches suitable for the resource constraints of embedded devices. The goal of this workshop is to exchange ideas and first results between experts working in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things (IoT), Algorithms, and Semantics. Particular topics of interest for papers to be submitted include, but are not limited to: * Internet of Things / Wireless Sensor Networks * Web-based Architectures * SOAs for Resource-constraint Environments * Interaction Patterns * Application Development * Management and Discovery * Real-World Applications for the Internet of Things * Seamless Integration with the (Future) Internet * Heterogeneity in Large-scale Networks * Light-weight Semantics of Services * Algorithmic Aspects of Large-scale Systems ----------------------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------------------- * Paper Submission Due: 31.10.2010 * Notification: 28.11.2010 * Paper-ready version: 19.12.2010 * Workshop: 10-11.03.2011 (Thursday afternoon – Friday until lunch) ----------------------------------------- Technical Program Committee ----------------------------------------- * Karl Aberer, EPFL, Switzerland * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany * Stefan Fischer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Manfred Hauswirth, National University of Ireland, Ireland * Horst Hellbrück, University of Applied Sciences Lübeck, Germany * Stamatis Karnouskos, SAP Research, Germany * Alexander Kröller, Braunschweig Institute of Technology, Germany * Werner Kuhn, University of Münster, Germany * Pedro Jose Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany * Dennis Pfisterer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Kay Römer, University of Lübeck, Germany * Kai-Uwe Sattler, TU Ilmenau, Germany * Heiner Stuckenschmidt, University of Mannheim, Germany ----------------------------------------- Submission Instructions ----------------------------------------- Prospective participants are invited to submit papers containing original unpublished material only. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will be published in the Electronic Communications of the EASST (ECEASST), a peer-reviewed, scientific and open access journal. Submissions must conform to the ECEASST submission format and rules and may not exceed 12 pages (for details see http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/index.php/eceasst/about/submissions).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Journal SI on Network Routing and Communication Algorithm for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Datum: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 23:54:58 +0200 Von: Jong-Hyouk Lee <jonghyouk(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Special Issue on Network Routing and Communication Algorithm for Intelligent Transportation Systems, EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking (The most recent Impact Factor for this journal is 0.732 according to 2009 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters (ISI) in 2010). The CFP web address: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/its.html The development of intelligent transport systems (ITS) brings the promise of improved road safety and comfortable/infotainment driving environments. Recent advances of wireless vehicular communications supporting vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications have become a cornerstone of ITS. Wireless vehicular communications for ITS is one of the most interesting and active research topics, which is requiring vital efforts from both the industry and the academic. In particular, studies on network routing and communication algorithm for V2V and V2I have posed various challenges. Most of the current works on V2V and V2I communications mainly focus on non-IP data communications. These challenges require developing new network routing protocols and design communication algorithms, especially for IP data communications. This special issue is intended to bring together the industry and academic working on different aspects related to ITS and to highlight the state-of-art research on ITS. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * IP mobility protocol issues for ITS * Alert, safety, and infotainment communication algorithm issues for ITS * Bandwidth allocation and resource scheduler issues for ITS * Addressing, routing, and data transmission issues for ITS * Security and access control management issues for ITS * Practical standard development issues for ITS * Case studies of ITS applications Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TVT Special Section on Telematics Advances for Vehicular Communication Networks Datum: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:50:38 +0300 Von: Spyros Vassilaras <svas(a)ait.edu.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers ******************************************************************************************** IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section: Telematics Advances for Vehicular Communication Networks ******************************************************************************************** Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) is a promising technology to improve driving safety, reduce traffic congestion and support information services in vehicles. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications is approaching. During recent ITS development, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between automobiles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Technology and applications for ITSs and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private and public sectors to exchange new ideas. This special section aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), information dissemination, road safety, ITS and emergency services. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for inter-vehicle communication environments. This special section will also address numerous significant standardization efforts (IEEE 802.11p, p1609, TIA TR48, etc.) and some alternatives or improved systems. Topics of Interest: * Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods: - Floating vehicles - Traffic and flow modelling and analysis - Remote service provisioning and over-the-air upgrading technology - Data replication, caching and pre-fetching protocols * V2V and V2I communications: - Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy - Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, GPS) - Mobility or handover technology - System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics - PHY issues: channel measurement, channel modelling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. * New ITS/Telematics applications: - Safety and driver-assistance applications - Congestion control by cooperative data analysis - Reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission * Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities: - Results from large-scale experimental systems, test beds and field trials - Hardware implementation and infrastructure deployment - Deployment strategies and predictions - Standardization and development of VANETs: efforts and problems on 802.11p WAVE, 802.11s MESH, DSRC, etc. Paper Submission: Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission procedure which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page http://transactions.vtsociety.org/ under Information for Authors. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via the journal online paper submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tvt-ieee Important Dates: * Manuscript Submission Due: January 31, 2011 * Notification Letter Sent: April 15, 2011 * Revision Due: May 31, 2011 * Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2011 * Final Manuscript Due: August 31, 2011 Guest Editors: - Jia-Chin Lin, Department of Communication Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan - Christoph Mecklenbrauker, Institute of Communications and Radio-Frequency Engineering, Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Alexey Vinel, Tampere University of Technology, Finland - Tao Zhang, Emerging Technologies and Services Research, Telcordia Technologies, Inc., USA - Spyridon Vassilaras, Athens Information Technology Center for Research and Graduate Education, Greece - Kuen-Rong Lo, Telecommunication Laboratories, Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd., Taiwan A pdf version of this CFP can be found at: http://bbcrlab-pc9.bbcrlabpcnet.uwaterloo.ca/tvt/vtjournal/CFP-VANET-2010.p… _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
