================================================================== IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on "Future Internet: New Applications and Emerging Services" (http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0710.html) ================================================================== Background The Internet has been successfully deployed for several decades due to its high flexibility in running over different physical mediums and supporting different high layer protocols and applications including traditional file transfer, e-mail, and client-server based web applications. Meanwhile, we have witnessed the unprecedented development and growth of new applications and services in recent years ranging from peer-to-peer (P2P) based applications, image and video applications, location-based services, secured transactions, online hosting services, machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions, and cloud computing. These new applications and emerging services have, in different degree, demanded better than the current best-effort quality of service. The future Internet is expected to be more agile, scalable, secure and reliable, which has been considered and pursued in research projects such as NSF FIND (Future Internet Design) and GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) programs in the United States, and EIFFEL (Evolved Internet Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet Research and Experimentation - Strategy Works) projects in Europe. Such ever-emerging applications with different requirements and implications for the future Internet design pose a significantly new set of problems and challenges, which are not well understood, specifically : 1) how can they be efficiently provisioned in the future Internet? 2) how can the future Internet be evolved and/or re-designed possible with radical changes to cater for new applications and services? The goal of this special issue is to feature recent and emerging Internet applications and services, their performance, impact, demands and implications for future Internet design. Scope Papers should contain substantial tutorial content and be accessible to a general audience of researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Peer-to-peer applications including file transfer, live video streaming and VoD *Utility computing, cloud computing, cloud storage networks *Online hosting services *E-commerce, secured transactions *Mobile services, location-based services *New service provisioning, quality of service issues *Impact on backbone and ISP design. Submission Guidelines This special issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Network author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html for information about content and formatting of submissions. The manuscripts must be written in a tutorial manner and in English. Please submit a PDF version of complete papers including a cover letter with author contact information via e-mail to FutureInternetSI(a)GMAIL.COM before the deadline. Important Dates Submissions deadline: December 15, 2009 Author notifications: March 1, 2010 Final manuscripts due: May 1, 2010 Expected publication date: July 2010 Guest Editors Bo Li Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Email: bli(a)cse.ust.hk Haibo Lin Huawei Tech.

20 Oct '09

Call for papers: IEEE SUTC 2010 The Third IEEE Intl. Conf. on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing June 7-9, 2010 Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Newport Beach, California, USA http://sutc2010.eecs.uci.edu The availability of small, low-cost, and low-power sensors, radios, and microcontrollers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. As a result, different research communities have emerged that work on related aspects, but have slightly different foci. A focus of the sensor network community is on energy-efficient systems and networking solutions. While these aspects are also fundamental for ubiquitous computing, a focus of the latter community is on user interaction. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control. Despite these differences, the realization of the above visions involves a common fundamental challenge: The need for trustworthy computing solutions to deliver secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services. The aim of the IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC 2010) is to bring together the above communities to exchange latest results, to join efforts in solving the common challenges, but also to contrast the developments in the different communities. To support this goal, the conference will feature several (serial) tracks devoted to sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and cyber-physical systems, as well as tracks devoted to common themes such as pervasive services and data management, embedded networking, and trustworthy computing. In addition, the conference features invited talks and panel discussions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited. Topics for submission include, but are not limited to the following aspects of sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and trustworthy computing: - Applications (novel use cases, deployment experience, ...) - Algorithms and Protocols (topology, coverage, routing, timesync, distributed coordination, ...) - Data Management and Processing (gathering, storage, fusion, dissemination, ...) - Deployment, Testing, and Debugging - Design and Programming Methodologies - Distributed Sensing, Actuation, and Control - Energy management - Embedded processors, sensors, and actuators - Management aspects (configuration, adaptation, healing, ...) - Mobility, Location, and Context - Modeling and Performance Evaluation (simulation, complexity analysis, user studies, ...) - Operating Systems, Services, and Middleware - Privacy - QoS aspects - Reliability - Security (authentication, access control, intrusion detection and tolerance, ...) - Social Issues - System and Network Architectures - Trust (establishment, negotiation, management, ...) - User Interface Technologies - Wireless Communication and Networks (ad hoc networks, personal area networks, ...)

[Tccc] IEEE Green Communications] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Green Communications
by Honggang Zhang 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) Dear all Colleagues, Historically, the very FIRST special issue of IEEE Communications Magazine with focus on "Green Communications" is planned to be published in November 2010. This special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Please kindly refer to the following Call For Papers (CFP) for more detailed information. We are expecting your paper submission, contribution, and involvements as much as you can. With best regards, Guest Editor Team IEEE "Green Communications" Special Issue ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP) IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications" The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses. If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a myriad of communications and information technologies have already been exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow. To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum). This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following: . Energy-efficient circuit and device . Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies . Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking . Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks . Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking . Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing . Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks . Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy consumption . Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks . Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement . Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks . Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management . Harvesting distributed energy generation . Smart Grid . Information theory on energy efficiency . Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks . Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies . Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring) . Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications and future evolution . Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices, including life cycle assessment . Regulation and standardization . Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications (e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells) Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html <http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> .

******************************* **** IEEE INFOCOM 2010 ****** **** WORK IN PROGRESS ***** **** CALL FOR PAPERS ****** ****************************** The 29th Annual Conference of the IEEE Communications Society March 14 - 19, 2010 San Diego, California USA http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2010 In 2010, IEEE INFOCOM will experiment with a new track devoted to short papers describing research activities which can be classified as Work-in-Progress (WiP). While traditional INFOCOM submissions are expected to be papers describing in detail a complete piece of research with its final results, WiP papers are expected to report on early research results in particularly interesting and innovative research fields, preferably conducted in cooperation between industry and academia. The main objective of WiP papers is to stimulate interest in new, promising, possibly controversial research fields. WiP paper authors can expect to receive feedback and suggestions from leading researchers in the field as well as attracting the interest of industry and government funding agencies. The topics of interest for WiP papers are identical to those in the main INFOCOM conference. Submissions to the WiP track will be reviewed by a separate Technical Program Committee. WiP paper submissions are strictly limited to a maximum of 5 pages in the usual INFOCOM format; longer submissions will be rejected without review. Presented WiP papers will be included in the IEEE Communications Society digital library, in IEEE Explore, and in the IEEE INFOCOM 2011's CD. Important Dates: *** Extended*** * WiP paper registration on EDAS: October 15, 2009, 11:59 PM PDT (required) * Full WiP paper due: October 24, 2009, 11:59 PM PDT (firm deadline) * Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2010 * Final papers due: March 1, 2010 To submit your paper go to: http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8137 Policies: All INFOCOM 2010 WiP paper presenters must register at the FULL rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one FULL registration is valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Two weeks to deadline: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, special section on "Control over Wireless Networks: Foundations, Networking, Applications" Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:57:39 +0200 Von: Carlo Fischione <carlofi(a)ee.kth.se> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------- * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS * * special section on * * Control over Wireless Networks: * * Foundations, Networking, Applications * ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless technologies, nowadays a commodity in personal and data communication, have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly, standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that may limit the rate of adoption. The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications. The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for publication. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop (routing, transport) protocols * Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control * Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless control * Security for industrial wireless systems * Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems * Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems * Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control * Innovative wireless networked control applications --------------------------------------------------------------- DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: October 31, 2009 Expected publication date: November 2010 (tentative) MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Follow the guidelines in Information for Authors in http://ieee-ies.org/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii --------------------------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS Carlo Fischione KTH Royal Institute of Technology Karl Henrik Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Mikael Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Andreas Willig TU Berlin Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief.

[Tccc] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks"
by Antonio Alfredo F. Loureiro 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources - such as processing, communication, and energy - are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including figures, tables, algorithms, and references. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below. Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Eduardo F.

HotMobile 2010 Please note the new submission deadline: Midnight EDT Sunday 18th October. The Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Annapolis, MD, USA February 22-23, 2010 http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2010, the eleventh 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 systems 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 2010 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 (new date): Sunday October 18th, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59:59 EDT on Sunday October 18th, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings 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 Submission link: http://mobile.cod.cs.duke.edu/hotcrp/ (Also available on main website http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/?pid=home ) The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. 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. ________________________________ Roy Want Intel Labs, Santa Clara Mailstop RNB-6-61 2200 Mission College Blvd Santa Clara, CA 95052-8819 Tel: (408) 765 9204 Fax: (408) 653 9861 Lab: (408) 765 6909 Admin: (408) 765 0663 Web: http://www.speakeasy.org/~roywant/cs/ ----------------------------------------------------- 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.
