-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP IEEE INFOCOM 2011 Workshop on Green Communications and Networking Datum: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 22:48:47 -0400 Von: Richard Yu <Richard_Yu(a)Carleton.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu IEEE INFOCOM 2011 Workshop on Green Communications and Networking April 10-15, 2011 Shanghai, China http://www.csit.carleton.ca/~fyu/GCN11/ Scope: As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts to develop new technologies for the green strategies addressing climate change globally and facilitating low greenhouse gas (GHG) development. Currently, the GHG emissions produced by the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry alone are said to be equivalent to the GHG emissions of the entire aviation industry. It is estimated that one small computer server generates as much GHG as a sport utility vehicle (SUV). Furthermore, with the increasing demand for higher data rates, the energy consumption for the ICT industry is increasing by 16-20% per year, and the energy costs for mobile network operators can already be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. Since the GHG footprint of the ICT sector is dominated by electricity consumption, an obvious way to reduce emissions is to focus on efficient energy consumption and use as much electricity from renewable sources as possible. In addition, the role of green communications and networking technologies includes not only the emission reduction and energy savings in products and services, but also enabling low GHG emissions in other industries, such as electric power. Indeed, networks are crucial technologies for a smart power grid, which monitors, protects and optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements from end to end, with two-way flow of electricity and information to create an automated and distributed energy delivery network. This Workshop on "Green Communications and Networking" provides a forum for discussions of all these most recent developments and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction with IEEE Infocom'2011 conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) Topics: The workshop is organised along two tracks, which address all issues related to energy efficiency in networking, including, but not limited to, the following: Track 1 - Green Wired Communications and Networking + Energy consumption measurements, estimates, models, and monitoring tools + Protocols and techniques to reduce energy consumption in fixed networks and in data centres + Protocols and techniques for energy-efficient service provisioning and content distribution + Wired networks for smart grids + Energy Efficient Ethernet + Models of energy-efficient networks and energy-efficient network design + Energy-efficient networking experiments and trials + Test-bed and prototype implementations + Policies and incentives to stimulate energy efficiency in networking + Networking approaches for energy efficiency of applications Track 2 - Green Wireless Communications and Networking + Energy efficiency and GHG emission metrics and measurements in wireless communications and networks + Wireless networks for smart grids + Regulation and standardization + Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs + QoS provisioning and resource management in green wireless networks + MAC, routing and transport protocols for green wireless networks + Cross-layer optimization of green wireless networks + End-to-end modeling and performance of green wireless networks + Green 3G/4G/5G, wireless wide area infrastructures, short range networks, mesh topologies + Experimental test-beds and results Contribution format: The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. Submissions longer than 6 pages will not be considered.

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

-------- 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. Paper submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter clearly stating that the paper is meant for the "Special Issue on Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks", otherwise it will be handled as normal submission.

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.

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.
