-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) Datum: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 16:43:05 +0200 Von: Kellerer, Wolfgang <kellerer(a)DOCOMOLAB-EURO.COM> 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 Call for Papers ************************************************************************ ******* IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) - Towards a Next Generation Mobile Core Network - June 9, 2011, Kyoto, Japan http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/amn2011 http://www.ieee-icc.org/2011/cfp_workshop_list.php CALL FOR PAPERS Important Dates --------------- Manuscript submission deadline: October 15, 2010 Notification of decision: January 15, 2011 Camera-ready deadline: February 15, 2011 Scope and Motivation -------------------- Mobile Networks are at the brink of becoming truly All-IP Networks, providing all services through IP technology. This opens the door for new advancements of mobile systems and all parts of them, along with the efforts taken to advance Internet technology. In fact, there is an urgent necessity to advance the IP based mobile network in the upcoming years. This need stems from the rapid growth of multimedia application traffic that in return requires an unprecedented network capacity increase. However, the revenue will not grow at the same extent as the traffic. Consequently costs per bit are increasing, demanding for higher network efficiency. The efficiency increase is expected for infrastructure provisioning as well as for operational cost. In addition we address innovative user-centric service deployment embracing emerging resources in the network such as storage and processing power that demand for new mobility management and resource management solutions taking service locality, service roaming and user perceived quality into account. This workshop focuses on the mobile core network. We take a deployment of air interfaces such as LTE-Advanced for well underway and focus in concepts and technologies for the advancement of the core network. Contributions are sought for all network layers ranging from high-speed transport to service delivery platform. The emerging variety of multimedia services also pushed by the heterogeneity of end systems ranging from traditional mobile phones to high resolution portable smart devices, demands for new, efficient resource management schemes such as mobile network embedded Content Delivery Networks or content specific mobility management schemes. With available processing and storage space in the network, services do not any longer have to remain statically at a central server, but may move closer to the consumer. Such migration is not limited to one operator domain, but service programs may roam between operator networks. Diversified resource control also demands for a next generation of quality of service provisioning taking the user's Quality of Experience into account. In order to flexibly realize such new network and service solutions a level of indirection between the service delivery platform and the transport network is needed. Sophisticated mechanism are sought to allow for network resource isolations, realizing an abstraction layer for flexible control and management of coexisting, specific networks on one infrastructure substrate. It also allows abstracting from transport networks, supporting the flexible introduction of high speed bit transport through advanced (e.g. optical) network technologies. This addresses a new emerging business environment that reaches from Cloud Computing, Network Virtualization and System Adaptability to the exploding number of 3rd party applications. New players have to be taken into account in an open service market to respond to the economic market pressure that is grounded in fierce competition. New solutions are sought for expanding the next mobile network and emerging service ecosystems into a ubiquitous service space that includes internetworking with physical objects in the user environment, through means of Radio Frequency Identification, Near Field Communication and advanced user interaction mechanism. Topics of Interest ----------------------- Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Network aspects for next generation mobile systems such as decentralization, scalability, networked cloud computing, ubiquitous networking environments - Mobile network edge-based service delivery platforms - Mobile Content Delivery Networks - In-network service processing - Advanced roaming concepts (roaming of service programs and content) - Quality of Experience driven network optimization - Reconfigurable, self-organizing mobile network - Network resource management for LTE-Advanced - Mobile network virtualization - Mobile network sharing and network access - Advanced mobility management - Optical network technologies for mobile core network - Energy-efficient networking awareness - Emerging business models and business roles Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Submissions should be in English, adopt IEEE paper templates and must not exceed 5 pages.

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 integration of heterogeneous networks is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be "Always Best Connected" (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Furthermore, communication security is required at both communication and service layer in order to reassure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and maintain QoS of on-going sessions in a seamless manner. This special issue will report the results of latest research efforts on mobility management in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - Network Architectures and Mobility - Mobility in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI etc) - Standardisation fora evolution (IETF: HOKEY/SEAMOBY/PANA, IEEE: 802.21) - IP-based Mobility Management - Efficient Handover Algorithms - Radio Resource Management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Cross-Layer Schemes - Privacy and Trust and AAA Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks - Roaming in Multi-access environment - Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques - Wireless network testbeds and applications - Interactive media in ubiquitous environments - Mobililty and Media Delivery Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the Telecommunications Journal manuscript format described below at the journal site: http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal/11235? detailsPage=contentItemPage&CIPageCounter=128514.

[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IOTS 2010 The 1st IEEE/ACM Internet of Things Symposium http://www.cpschina.org/IOTS/ In conjunction with GreenCom 2010 Hangzhou, China, December 18-20, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Overview The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of Internet-enabled objects, together with web services that interact with these objects. IoT is growing momentum in terms of the underlying technology as well as the adoption by corporations, universities and across many industries. IoT aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded systems, which leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things will take time, but the process is accelerating thanks to improvements in underlying technologies. Advances in wireless networking technologies and the standardization of communication protocols make it possible to collect data from sensors almost anywhere at any time. Smaller silicon chips for this purpose are gaining new capabilities. Significant increase in storage and computing power can also be available via cloud computing. However, a large number of challenges remain. With the increase in heterogeneity, it has become very difficult to ensure interactions with devices on a unified protocol. The requirements of Internet for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There exists a need for those networks to produce their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services. 2.Symposium Outline The focus of this symposium is on bringing together relevant researchers to explore internet of things technologies and applications. The scope of this symposium includes, but not limited to, the following areas: - IoT connecting objects technologies: sensors, RFID, smartphone - IoT network architectures - IoT emerging applications - IoT security and privacy - IoT routing - IoT naming and addressing - IoT energy-efficient computing and communications - IoT data fusion - IoT cross-layer optimization - IoT communication protocols - IoT heterogeneous network integration: WiFi, WiMax, 3G, 4G, ZigBee 3.Important Dates (NEW!)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2011 - Preliminary Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:08:32 +0000 Von: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG **We apologize if you receive more than one copy of this announcement** HotMobile 2011 The Twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Phoenix, AZ, USA March 1-2, 2011 http://www.hotmobile.org/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2011, the twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2011 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 15, 2010 Acceptance notification: December 16, 2010 Revised papers due: January 21, 2011 Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDT on Friday October 15, 2010. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 15th 2010 at 23:59:59 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [10 DAYS LEFT] CFP: IJRRCS - Special Issue on Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking Datum: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 11:48:03 -0700 Von: Albert Lam <ayslam(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you received multiple copies of this posting. ** CALL FOR PAPERS *** ------------------------------------------------------- CFP: International Journal of Research and Reviews in Computer Science - Special Issue on “Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking” ------------------------------------------------------- Computer networking has become an active research fields in the last few decades and many products have been realized through successful networking research. Due to our demands for higher data rate and more seamless connectivity, new technologies keep being developed and merchandised, including wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, social networks, smart grid communications, etc. Therefore, many new problems have been proposed and most of which can be formulated as optimization problems. However, many such optimization problems do not have the corresponding good algorithms developed or they are so hard (usually classified as NP-hard) that no algorithm is available to find the optimal solution in polynomial time. Although it may be difficult to find the optimal solutions for these problems, we can still approximate the best solutions with reasonably good ones. When we focus on NP-hard problems and computation time is our concern, approximate algorithms are the good choice. Since the evolutionary computational approaches were developed in the past few decades, many works rely on the nature-inspired algorithms to do optimization. The relatively classical ones are Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Artificial Immune System, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization, etc. Some recently proposed algorithms include Harmony Search, Bee Algorithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Group Search Optimization, Biogeography-based Optimization, Chemical ReactionOptimization, etc. This special issue is focused on highlighting the nature-inspired techniques to solve optimization for designing computer networks. They should demonstrate advantages or improvements in some aspects over the existing methods. The goal is to developnature-inspired approaches which enhance the adaptability, autonomicity, and scalability of any kinds of computer networks. We also welcome submissions that demonstrate real-world experience in and theoretical works on applying nature-inspired optimizationtechniques to networking research problems. Topics related to computer networks to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • P2P audio and video streaming • Grid and cluster computing • Cloud systems • Social networks • Infrastructure-based and ad hoc cognitive radio systems • Topology control and management • Cross-layer design and interactions • Centralized/distributed radio resource management in wireless mesh networks • Service-oriented and QoS support for smart grid • Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing for smart grid communications • Multicast for smart grid • Green computing systems Topics related to nature-inspired techniques to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • Genetic Algorithms • Simulated Annealing • Ant Colony Optimization • Particle Swarm Optimization • Artificial Immune Systems • Harmony Search • Bees Algorithm • Biogeography-based Optimization • Group Search Optimization • Bacterial Foraging Optimization • Chemical Reaction Optimization Guest Editors: • Dr. Albert Y.S.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP [Extended] SI of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" Datum: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:59:08 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Please consider that, due to the numerous requests received, the paper submission deadline of the Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" is extended to October 15 (firm deadline). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal Call for Papers A Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" http://www.elsevier.com/framework_products/promis_misc/cfp_.pdf For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission (New Deadline): October 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.
