-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Wirelesss Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:39:13 +1200 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: EHJChong(a)ntu.edu.sg CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Technologies for Green Radio Communication Networks IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Since 2006, data traffic on wireless networks has grown by approximately 400% and is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming years. The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today's communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: . Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks . Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks . Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks . Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. . Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques . Self-organizing/optimizing networks . Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs . Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management . Regulation and standardization . Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes . Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks . Operators' experience . Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization . Energy minimization of system-wide components . Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic. Electronic submissions in PDF format is strongly encouraged and should be sent by email to ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg with cc to all the guest editors. Important Dates . Manuscripts Due: March 1, 2011 . Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2011 . Final Manuscript Submission: July 15, 2011 .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Feature Topic Issue of IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:46:33 +0800 Von: Jun Zheng <junzheng(a)seu.edu.cn> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on The Internet of Things The Internet has experienced a tremendous growth in the past three decades, evolving from a network of a few hundred hosts to a platform linking billions of “things” globally, including individual people as well as enterprises of various sizes, through computers of any conceivable size and capability and the applications running on them. The growth of Internet shows no signs of slowing down and it steadily becomes the cause of a new pervasive paradigm in computing and communications. This new paradigm enhances the traditional Internet into a smart Internet of Things (IoT) created around intelligent interconnections of diverse objects in the physical world, such as vehicles, cellphones, habitats and habitat occupants, through low-cost information gathering devices, such as sensors and RFID tags, that facilitate fast-paced interactions among the objects themselves as well as the objects and persons in any place and at any time. IoT will usher a wide range of smart applications and services to cope with many of the challenges that individuals and organizations face in their everyday lives. For example, remote healthcare monitoring systems will help alleviate the severe shortage of healthcare personnel in an ageing society; intelligent transportation systems will help reduce traffic congestion and inevitably ills caused by it such as air-pollution; smart distribution systems from utility grids to supply chains will improve the quality and reduce the cost of their respective goods and services; tagged objects can be recycled more efficiently by being retrieved from bulk waste disposal, and so on. These applications would dramatically change the way our societies function and thus have a big impact on many aspects of people’s life in the years to come. IoT is not a mere extension of today’s Internet or an internet of Internet systems. It represents intelligent end-to-end systems that enable smart solutions and as such it covers a diverse range of technologies, including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing, and intelligent control technologies. To make IoT a reality, significant research needs to be conducted within and across these technological aspects of IoT. This has recently motivated a voluminous amount of research activities in the hot field and this Feature Topic Issue intends to capture and expose it to the IEEE ComMag readership. Scope of the issue This feature topic issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art development in technology, application, and standardization in the field of the Internet of Things, and present an insight of future research opportunities and challenges in this field. The feature issue will consider original survey and research articles written in a tutorial style. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system architectures of IoT * Sensing technologies for IoT * Short-range Communications for IoT * Sensor networking technologies for IoT * Access network technologies for IoT * Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT * RFID applications in IoT * Smart grid applications in IoT * Healthcare applications in IoT * Environmental monitoring applications in IoT * Intelligent transportation applications in IoT * Public safety in IoT * Security and privacy management for IoT * Application systems and testbeds for IoT * Standardization activities for IoT Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts in PDF format electronically via the Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com).

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: [Tccc] ACM Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:25:25 +0200 Von: Christos Verikoukis <cveri(a)cttc.es> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. **************************************************************************** ************ CFP: ACM Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media **************************************************************************** ************ The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location. However, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks, since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries and power consumption represents a major component of the operator´s network operational cost. There is added momentum for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. This special issue envisions contributions including different aspects on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media. Some relevant topics include: * Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing * Cooperative Communications * Cognitive Networks * QoE Multimedia for Future Internet * P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Network Coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * Short-Range Communications * Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. * Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for multimedia services in next generation networks. * 3D Video Coding * Context-aware networks and network-aware content Guest Editors Jonathan Rodriguez, Inst.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 01:17:27 -0500 Von: Xi Zhang <xizhang(a)mail.ece.tamu.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (We apologize if your receive multiple copies of this email) Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Over the last few years, fundamental research has demonstrated the great potential of cooperative wireless networking in increasing the system capacity and enlarging the coverage area as well as enhancing the quality-of-service (QoS) by taking advantage of the cooperative diversity and multiplexing. Consequently, cooperative wireless networking has become one of the widely recognized features for the future wireless communication systems. While the conventional research mainly focused on relatively simple cooperative relay topologies or on the cooperation schemes under the existing infrastructure networks, cooperative networking for the future wireless systems has its unique spectrum of features. Specifically, the frequent user cooperation and interaction empower the mobile users with a new role as the mobile-service providers, comparing with their traditional role as only the consumers. In this sense, mobile users' cooperation strategy and decisions are sensitive to not only the QoS requirements of the end users' applications but also their own benefits as rewards for providing the mobile-services. Moreover, the cooperation provided by mobile users does not have to rely heavily on the infrastructure networks. Towards these unique features, many challenges are imposed in cooperative communications for future wireless networks. First, physical-layer signals are required to be capable of achieving cooperative diversity and multiplexing gain across multiple coexisting multi-hop cooperation links. Second, the user cooperation highly depends on the positions of mobile users, which vary frequently and are hard to control by the infrastructure networks. Thus, to gain significant performance improvement through cooperation, distributed medium access control and routing protocols are expected to play the vital role in the fast cooperative-network reconfiguration. Third, since mobile users serve as both service providers and consumers, wireless-resource competition/negotiation strategies among cooperative users and the infrastructure networks become the extremely important issues. Fourth, the user cooperations at different protocol layers have diverse features and challenges, which motivate cross-layer design to develop optimized cooperation schemes. Fifth, given the frequent data exchanging, forwarding, and relaying among mobile users, the trust management and related problems need to be thoroughly studied for secure cooperation with protection of mobile users' privacy. Finally, due to the limited spectrum resources, the combination of user cooperation and the cognitive radio technologies is promising to further achieve significant performance gains. The topic on cooperative networking has attracted intensive attentions from researchers in not only academia, but also industry. Inspired by the attractive features and potential benefit from cooperative networking, industry has made significant efforts on the implementation of cooperative networks. Cooperative relay has been proposed in the 802.16j MMR (Mobile Multi-hop Relay) standard. Also, many coordinated multi-cell space-frequency coding have been suggested in the standardization bodies such as 3GPP LTE. Despite the large amount of research work proposed in recent years, the aforementioned issues for cooperative networking towards future wireless systems still remain open problems. We plan this feature topic to address the urgent need in both industry and the research community to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on cooperative networking. The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of cooperative wireless networking. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the followings: * Distributed MIMO technologies for multi-link and multi-hop cooperative wireless transmissions; * QoS-driven resource allocation for multi-hop cooperative wireless networking; * Power-efficient MAC layer protocol for wireless cooperative relay networks; * Network layer protocol for self-configuration and routing in wireless cooperative relay networks; * Wireless cooperative network coding; * Trust mechanism for cooperation among mobile users; * Cross-layer design and optimization with QoS provisioning for cooperative wireless networking; * User-centric frameworks and solutions for QoS satisfactions in cooperative wireless networks; * Packet-level and signal-level cooperative wireless multicast; * Multi-hop user-cooperation protocol design in cognitive radio networks; * Cooperative game for resource competition/negotiation in wireless networks. Manuscript Submission 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.

IJARASbuilds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need tostructure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changesboth exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces aproblem, which implies a research direction a thesis. The truth about this statement is drasticallyreverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains suchas cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded asspecial cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; andthrough that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new researchdirections in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Adaptability issues in DBMS; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems.
