-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers: Green communications and networking Datum: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 12:52:44 +0000 Von: Rupal Malde <rupal.malde(a)hotmail.co.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Journal of Optical Switching and Networking (OSN) Special Issue on Green Communications and Networking Responsible use of energy has become a crucial issue in large networks and information systems in general in the last few years. Energy efficiency is now a critical item in the list of performance metrics of networking equipment and networked systems. Understanding and economizing energy use has emerged as a high-impact research area in networking system of all kinds. Recent studies suggest that the core network expends the largest fraction of the energy consumed by a large network system, and network energy expenditure can be a significant part of planetary computing and communication, contrary to earlier belief that the bulk of energy expenditure is at end-systems or at most the edge network. The role of interaction between end-systems and the network has also been recognized in achieving better energy economy. The OSN special issue on Green Communications and Networking will archive timely research in this area particularly relevant to optical networking design and technologies. The SI may also publish tutorial material suitable for introducing active researchers to different aspects of this new research area. Tutorials articles will be expected to address a broad range of issues in order to be considered suitable. Topics of interest for original research contributions include, but are not limited to: • Metrics of energy-efficiency in optical networks and equipment • Measurements of energy expenditures, data and methodology • Energy efficient devices and designs • Hardware, architectural, and protocol support issues for energy economy • Network design (topology, grooming, placement, wavelength assignment, traffic engg., etc.) in support of energy economy • Energy issues in PONs • Energy efficient interaction of network with smartgrids of clouds • Energy-optimal split between optical and electronic layers (e.g., IP-Ethernet-WDM) • Energy Efficient Optical Ethernet • Optical Switching in Routers and Switches for Reducing Power Consumption • Hierarchical techniques of energy efficiency • Energy awareness in network equipment and operations • Business models of energy-efficient optical networks • Cooperation between network and endpoints for improving energy efficiency • Optical Networking for Green Datacenters All submissions must be original work not previously published or currently under review by any other journal. Partial overlap with previously published conference or workshop papers is acceptable, but must be disclosed at the time of submission. Submission, review, and decision process will use the usual Elsevier OSN portal, accessible through http://ees.elsevier.com/osn/admin/default.asp . During submission, please make sure to select ‘SI: Green Communications’ when you reach the “Article Type” step. More details about the journal in general, and author guidelines, can be found from http://ees.elsevier.com/osn/ . Important dates : Original submission deadline: June 1, 2010 Review decision to authors: September 1, 2010 Final camera-ready deadline: October 15, 2010 SI publication: Early (1Q or 2Q) 2011 Guest Editors: Rudra Dutta (North Carolina State University, USA) Dominic Schupke (Nokia Siemens Networks, Germany) Yoh Somemura (NTT Labs, Japan) _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.

Other conferences and workshops can appear in the monthly digest. (i.e., don't get excited and send me lots of cfps, and don't panic about an impending flood of cfps.) -neil] ACM HotNets-IX October 20-21, 2010 Monterey, CA http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2010/ Call for Papers The Ninth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-IX) will bring together people with interest in computer networks to engage in a lively debate on the theory and practice of networking. Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussion of those ideas. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers describing such ideas. A paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, NSDI, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, network architecture, and disruption-tolerant networks. It encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * one author per accepted paper, any speakers invited by the Program Committee, and the Program and Steering Committees, * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows, and * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] CFP: Mobimedia 2010 (International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference) Datum: Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:48:17 +0200 Von: Jesús Alonso-Zárate <jesus.alonso(a)cttc.es> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Dear colleague, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Please note that Extended Versions of Selected Papers submitted to MobiMedia 2010 will be considered for publication in the ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal. *************************************************************************** MobiMedia 2010 6th International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference 6-8 September 2010 - Lisbon, Portugal http://www.mobimedia.org *************************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: April 23rd, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: May 28th, 2010 Submission of camera-ready papers: June 25th, 2010 *************************************************************************** The focus of Mobimedia this year will be 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. From the mobile manufacturer’s perspective the energy consumption problem is critical, not only technically but also taking into account the market expectations from a newly introduced technology. In fact there exists a continuously growing gap between the energy consumption of emerging radio systems and what can be achieved by Battery technology evolution; Scaling and circuit design progress; System level architecture progress; and Thermal and cooling techniques. Without new approaches for energy saving, there is a significant threat that the 4G mobile users will be searching for power outlets rather than network access, and becoming once again bound to a single location. There is added momentum from the European stage 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. In this framework, Mobimedia will provide an international forum where industry, researchers and academia will be able to interact and exchange experiences, ideas, and research results surrounding all aspects on power saving to envisage a environmentally friendly Internet of the future. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical papers on the following research topics, but not limited to: o Cooperative communications o Cognitive Radio networks o Software Defined Radio approaches o Short-Range Communications o Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing o QoE Multimedia for Future Internet o P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. o Energy efficient Reconfigurable Radio Transceivers o Network Coding o Internet of things o Cross-layer and Cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia o User and device location in next generation networks. o Security mechanisms and schemes in Cooperative networks o Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. o Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. o IMS for Multimedia services in next generation networks. PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the MOBIMEDIA Conference Proceedings and made available online through Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST).

Ammari: Hofstra University, NY, USA E-mail: Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu <mailto:Habib.M.Ammari@hofstra.edu>, URL: http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/ Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment and to collect the relevant data. For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register and attend the workshop to present the paper.

The literature has not paid yet enough attention to QoS in WSNs. This is mainly due to the currently unclear purpose and usage of the WSNs, which significantly differ from the traditional networks. However, modern WSN applications require traffic differentiation, guaranteed end-to-end delivery, low delay jitter, and high throughput. The sensors' limited resources and energy autonomy combined with the unreliable wireless medium make QoS support in WSN certainly challenging. Thus, new designs for offering QoS in WSNs are becoming necessary. This Workshop will try to analyze modern methods of providing QoS support in WSNs, explain all related issues, highlight the problems that arise when trying to provide QoS demanding services over wireless networks, present the theoretical background, bring out related solutions given so far, and moreover, exhibit the latest research concepts and relevant ideas regarding near-future implementations. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multimedia transmissions over WSNs - QoS capable routing algorithms for WSNs - Traffic prioritization schemes for WSNs - QoS supportive protocols for medium access control in WSNs - Power saving mechanisms for WSNs - Medical content transfer using sensors for telemedicine - Categorized data communications over environment monitoring WSNs - Novel applications for QoS aware WSNs - Cross-layer techniques for QoS provision in WSNs - Simulation of QoS aware WSNs - Analytical models for QoS aware WSNs Paper submission: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpwsn10. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, will appear in the DCOSS proceedings and will be included in the IEEE digital library.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and mobile communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 1st ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond (MCS 2010) Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:44:06 -0600 Von: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Antwort an: Richard Han <rhan(a)CS.COLORADO.EDU> Organisation: University of Colorado at Boulder An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies] MCS 2010 The First ACM Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services: Social Networks and Beyond Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010, San Francisco, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~rhan/MCS2010.html with support from Nokia and Intel DESCRIPTION Mobile phone applications are exploding in popularity, and can strongly benefit from services and resources offered by cloud computing, including mobile social networking. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families
by Lars Wolf 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:09:25 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS A SPECIAL ISSUE of Ad Hoc Networks journal on "Recent advances in analysis and deployment of IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocol families" Guest editors: Jelena Misic, Ryerson University Vojislav B. Misic, Ryerson University INTRODUCTION ============ In the past several years, analysis of various aspects of IEEE 802.11e has resulted in large number of contributions. Researchers have addressed saturation and non-saturation conditions of Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) function, internal vs. external contention, Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), Transmission Opportunity (TXOP), Block Acknowledgement and Admission Control. However, due to the complexity of the standard there are still several areas that are not well investigated and not well understood, including interaction among protocol functions, interaction with higher protocol layers, interaction caused by multi-hopping, and interaction with other wireless technologies such as personal area networks and wireless sensor networks. A related protocol, IEEE 802.11p, is designed for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE), with higher layers supported by the recent IEEE standards 1609.1, 1609.2, 1609.3 and 1609.4. IEEE 802.11p differs from IEEE 802.11e in several important aspects, including lack of HCF and TXOP functionality. It is unique because it allows multi-channel operation and aggressive differentiation among traffic classes. Given the non-uniform node density in vehicular applications, it becomes crucial to avoid the saturation regime. Deployment of IEEE 802.11p in VANETs will require one-hop broadcasting as well as unicasting and multi-hop communications; as this will definitely affect all higher layer protocols, their interaction has to be carefully investigated. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to promote further research interests and activities on IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocols. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in all currently not-investigated aspects of those protocols. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-hopping with IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p; - Interconnection between personal area networks/ wireless sensor networks with IEEE 802.11e, and IEEE 802.11p; - Interaction between protocol functions e.g. HCF and EDCA; - Admission control in IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p with multiple protocol functions; - Interaction of higher protocol layers with IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p; - Multi-channel operation of IEEE 802.11p (WAVE); - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on infotainment applications in WAVE; - Modeling of Wireless Short Message Protocol over WAVE and interaction with TCP/UDP used for infotainment applications; - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on security functions in VANET. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Submit full papers via automated paper submission system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Make sure you select "Special Issue: IEEE 802.11e/p" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The papers must be less than twenty single-column double-spaced pages, excluding figures, tables, and references, using a 12-point font size.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register and attend the workshop to present the paper. Papers should be submitted by E-mail to the workshop co-chairs at the address: ddjenouri(a)acm.org <mailto:ddjenouri@acm.org>, and CC to: jianguo.ding(a)ieee.org <mailto:jianguo.ding@ieee.org>, aderhab(a)mail.cerist.dz <mailto:aderhab@mail.cerist.dz>, with “IWSN paper submission” as subject.
