At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. With this in mind, this workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. WiNTECH 2010 is soliciting proposals for research demonstrations of novel wireless testbed capabilities and measurement results. The session is intended to present the advances in tesbed and wireless characterizations and to foster discussions on future directions for wireless network evaluations. Innovations can be at any layer, from physical to application. In addition, we particularly encourage innovations that span over multiple layers and/or multiple heterogeneous exerimental platforms (federation of testbeds). The demo must be presented live, i.e. a presentation of a demo (powerpoint, video, etc) only is not allowed. Also, we emphasize that the demo session is not a forum to display commercial products. WiNTECH 2010 is also seeking proposals for posters describing novel work in wireless network testbeds, measurements and characterizations. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research.

The development and deployment of Smart Grid technology has become an urgent global priority as its envisioned economic, environmental, and social benefits will be enjoyed not only now but also by generations to come. Numerous worldwide science foundations and governments are currently supporting the development and deployment of Smart Grid technology. The vision of Smart Grid relies heavily on the information and communications technologies as they will empower today’s power grid with the unprecedented capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, and empowering the consumer with tools for optimized energy consumption. One critical aspect of the Smart Grid related information and communications technologies is the cyber, physical and system security. Cyber, physical and system security includes the protection of networks and servers from unauthorized accesses and malicious attacks. Cyber, physical and system security also covers the protection of compromised control and measurement units from doing harm to the system, physical security, secure state estimation, intrusion detection, etc. Although critical, cyber and system security of Smart Grid are still largely remaining unaddressed, and many important questions need to be answered and critical problems need to be solved. This special issue is intended to bring together the most recent advances in the field of cyber, physical and system security of Smart Grid from industry, government, and academia. This special issue covers all aspects of cyber, physical and system security of Smart Grid that are involved in providing a reliable and robust security environment for the operation of Smart Grid to realize its envisioned economic, environmental, and social benefits.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series
by Lars Wolf 01 Jun '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:50:57 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. ***** Extended Deadline: 15 June 2010 ***** Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html and a brief summary is available at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/edbd-web/reviewformintro.html.

On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else.

The WiMAX, LTE, and LTE-Advanced standardizations have already moved toward this direction but still require significant improvements. Network planning and optimization faces many challenges arising from the use of new air interfaces and new technologies (e.g., MIMO, smart antennas, cooperative relay), the mix of voice, video and data traffic, the co-existence of different RATs (Radio Access Technologies), the growing importance of indoor coverage and the paradigm shifts (e.g., femtocells). The future wireless networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. This workshop will bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, radio network planning and optimization consulting firms and tool producers) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future wireless communication networks deployment, planning and optimization. Topics of interest relating to network planning and optimization and future wireless communications are (but not limited to): 1. Automatic UMTS/HSPA/LTE/LTE-A/WiFi/WiMAX radio network planning and optimization methods 2. The use of measurements in radio network planning and optimisation 3. Indoor network planning and optimization (BBU+RRU, repeaters, DAS, picocells and femtocells) 4. Heterogeneous wireless networks (UMTS/HSPA/LTE/WiFi/WiMAX/DVB) simulation, planning and optimization 5. Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in LTE and LTE-Advanced networks 6. Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios PlanNet2011 accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work.

It was requested that we extend the abstract registration deadline for CHANTS 2010, so we have re-opened abstract registration and extended paper submission deadlines by a week. The new deadlines are below, and the original CFP is attached. Thank you, Brenton Walker Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2010) Co-located with MobiCom 2010, 24 September 2010, Chicago, Illinois, USA http://dtnbone.umiacs.umd.edu/chants2010 ========================================================================= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. The goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement systems for effective and efficient communication in this diverse range of conditions. The workshop solicits papers and demos relating to the following topics: * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Case studies involving challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Delay/disruption-tolerant networking (DTNs) * Applications in challenged networks * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. Demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases where live demos are not practical, poster or video presentations are acceptable. Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Paper submissions will be handled via EDAS http://edas.info/N8985 Demo abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall be at most 3 pages plus a one page description of the precise setup and requirements. Demo proposals should be emailed to Earl Oliver by 18 June. NOTE: Demo submitters should expect to receive an acknowledgment of their submission from Earl. Important Dates: ---------------- Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 (was 21 May) Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 (was 28 May) Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 Acceptance Notification: 1 July 2010 Camera Ready Due: 15 July 2010 Co-chairs: ---------- Pan Hui Deutsche Telekom Laboratories Pan.Hui_at_telekom.de Brenton Walker Lab for Telecommunications Sciences brenton_at_ltsnet.net Demo Chair: ----------- Earl Oliver University of Waterloo eaoliver_at_uwaterloo.ca _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: REALWSN 2010 Datum: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:01:40 +0200 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> Call for Papers ============ The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks 16-17 December, 2010 Colombo, Sri Lanka http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/ We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010. The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Note that we will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be in the middle of September. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.

Datum: Thu, 20 May 2010 11:46:42 +0200 Von: Abdelhamid Mellouk <mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP***** ============================================ Call for papers IEEE International Workshop towards SmArt COmmunications and Network technologies applied on Autonomous Systems (SaCoNAS) in conjunction with IEEE GlobeCom'2010 conference. 6th December 2010, Miami, Florida, USA, Papers submission deadline: July 2, 2010 Acceptance Notification: August 13, 2010 Camera Ready deadline: August 31, 2010 Registration deadline: August 31, 2010 http://sites.google.com/site/saconasglobecom2010/home Submission : <http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8720&track=9274>http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8720&track=9274 ============================================ SCOPE ----- The scope of this workshop targets the recent overlap of the latest advances between both autonomous systems, including robots, and new network technologies. On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE -------------------- The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Internet Computing Special Issue on Internet Workloads Datum: Wed, 19 May 2010 12:59:45 -0300 Von: Jussara <jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br> An: sbc-l(a)sbc.org.br, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Computing Special Issue Internet Workloads: Measurement, Characterization and Modeling (Mar/Apr 2011) Final submissions due 1 July 2010 Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 15 June 2010 Guest Editors: Virgilio A. F. Almeida (virgilio(a)dcc.ufmg.br) and Jussara M. Almeida (jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br) The Internet has a number of popular applications and services experiencing workloads with very different, non-trivial and unique properties. Examples are online social networking and Web 2.0, e-business, search, streaming, malware, Peer-to-Peer, grid, and mobile applications. Real workload characterization and modeling provide key insights into the cost-effective design, operation, and management of Internet- based services and systems. Nevertheless, some of the most fundamental concepts and methods related to the characteristics of real Internet workloads are largely unknown to most Internet/Web practitioners. This is further aggravated by the limited availability of real representative workloads for analysis, either due to privacy restrictions imposed by service providers or due to the inherent limitations of partial/local workloads in face of the global nature of Internet applications. As a result, many Internet-based systems and services are designed and built without exploring the inherent properties of their workloads. This special issue of IC seeks original articles addressing relevant aspects of real Internet workloads, looking at measurement and collection of workloads, characterization and modeling. Articles can be from research, operations, management, or architecture viewpoints. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: workload sampling and measurement techniques; workload characterization techniques and results; workload modeling approaches; strategies to achieve representativeness under partial workloads; privacy preserving issues; synthetic workload generators; workload temporal evolution and prediction schemes; and case studies. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Ideally, wireless users want to have the same services and capabilities that they have commonly come to expect with wired networks. However, to meet these objectives, the wireless community faces certain challenges and need an excellent understanding of all aspects of wireless networks. Wireless networks are large complex entities. This complexity brings to the many problems, such as network planning, resource management, Quality of Service scheduling, congestion and flow control, connection admission control, and Medium Access Control. These problems are outside the traditional communications background. They can be properly addressed with methodologies such as optimization, estimation, adaptation, fuzzy control, games control, robust stability, distributed control, hybrid control. For instance, recently, there has been a surge in research activities that utilize optimization techniques to analysis and design wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to bring research papers addressing the theme of control and optimization for wireless networks. Subject areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: *Applications of control theory to wireless network problems *Admission control, power control, and congestion control of wireless networks *Control system design base on wireless networks *Network utility maximization for wireless networks *Allocation of wireless network resources such as bandwidth, rate, or power *Optimization-based models of network traffic and topology *Digital communications signal processing algorithms via optimization methods *Cross-layer design through nonlinear optimization decomposition *Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless networks Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

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: The submitted papers must be written in correct and grammatical English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.
