Nevertheless, all next-generation standards will consider some of the most significant advances on the wireless communication and networking area in the last decade, developed by a highly active community, in both academia and industry. This special issue requests papers that advance the state-of-the-art of the recent and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards (i.e., IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.11aa, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11ae, IEEE 802.11ah, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.11ai, etc.), as well as present mechanisms and solutions, from MAC or above layers, that could be readily transferred to the not-yet finished standards or their future amendments. Please, note that pure PHY-layer papers are outside the scope of this Special Issue, although cross-layer approaches are welcome. In addition, there is special interest in those papers that provide new theoretical and/or experimental insights on the performance of the new and on-going IEEE 802.11 standards in real application scenarios, as well as propose optimal parameter configurations to make them work as much efficiently as possible. Papers proposing, evaluating and comparing disruptive approaches to the path followed by the IEEE 802.11 standards are also very much appreciated. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Coexistence mechanisms between IEEE 802.11 and other wireless networks in unlicensed bands. Inter-Access point cooperative mechanisms. Service discovery in WLANs. Dynamic channel access mechanisms, including cognitive radio techniques and channel bonding strategies. Link-layer mechanisms to efficiently operate in the new spectrum bands (below 1 GHz, TV White Spaces, 60 GHz band, etc.). Multiple packet transmission and reception techniques. Packet aggregation mechanisms. Energy efficient link-layer protocols for multi-service WLANs with heterogeneous QoS requirements. Cross-layer Network/MAC techniques for multi-hop networking and cooperative relays. Advanced relaying strategies for MIMO multicell systems.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] 1 month to submission CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Future Internet Testbeds Datum: Mon, 4 Jun 2012 08:35:01 -0500 Von: James P.G. Sterbenz <jpgs(a)ITTC.KU.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on Future Internet Testbeds http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… Important dates Paper submission: 01-07-2012 (extended) Acceptance notification: 15-09-2012 Final papers: 15-11-2012 It is increasingly recognised that the current Internet architecture is being challenged by unprecedented scale, new applications, untethered mobile wireless access, and domain-specific network scenarios and technologies including MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) and wireless sensor networks. At the same time we increasingly rely on the Internet for all aspects of our lives. The ability to evolve the Internet architecture to meet these challenges depends in part on the ability to test proposed protocols, services and configurations in a realistic setting at an appropriate scale. This requires testbeds that have significant scale, geographic scope, and that have a programmable Internet waist to permit experimentation with new addressing, forwarding, routing, and signalling paradigms. The GENI (Global Environments for Network Innovation) program in the US, and FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) programme in Europe have recognised and are funding this need. With this special issue of Computer Networks, we solicit papers that that describe the results of experimentation on the architecture, implementation, and deployment of Future Internet (FI) testbeds. While we are especially interested in experimental results, we also seek insightful papers that describe testbed architectures and their deployment issues, challenges, and experience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • programmable FI testbed architectures • scalability in node count, interconnection complexity, and geographic scope • interoperation and extension across research networks (such as Internet2, NLR, GÉANT2, JANET, JGN-X, and KOREN/KREONET) • heterogeneity and FI testbeds for domain-specific networks • alternative communication paradigms (e.g. packets vs. circuits) • deployment challenges and experiences • federation of heterogeneous testbeds with one another and with • instrumentation and measurement of FI testbeds • management of FI testbeds that are distributed across administrative domains • security, use policy, and broad research community access to FI testbeds • experiment design, methodology, and verification • experimental results that could not have been achieved on traditional end-system or localized testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab or Emulab) Submission format The submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet/ Submission Guideline All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Workshop on Smart Grid Communications: Design for Performance (SGComm 2012) (in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2012) Anaheim, California, Friday December 7, 2012 http://sgcomm.it.teithe.gr Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM), the IEEE Technical Committee on Transmission, Access and Optical Systems (TAOS) and the IEEE Communication Society Committee on Smart Grid Communications (SGCC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electric power represents a fundamental aspect of modern life and severe disruptions (e.g. large scale blackouts) have a disproportionate negative impact on it. Main electricity grid operations have started changing at an increased pace, due to the integration of renewable sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal). Due to the inherent variability in the supply of such sources, together with their distinct power characteristics, it has become imperative for the power grid to support not only two-way electricity flows, but also have demand-response mechanisms to allow users to adapt to real-time price signals. Hence, Smart Grid technologies that couple metering, monitoring, communications and control are of paramount importance for enabling these operations. Further, communication and information technologies are already utilized to meet the challenges for Green Communications. The Smart Grid Communications Workshop will be a combination of original papers, quick hot topic presentations, distinguished invited speakers and a panel discussion with participants from industry, funding agencies and academia. This will allow workshop participants to obtain a global perspective of the scope of this area and of the technical challenges associated with it, in a participative and interactive manner. Topics of interest The IEEE Workshop on Smart Grid Communications: Design for Performance (SGComm 2012) will bring together researchers from Academia and Industry, to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Communication architectures, networks and protocols for Smart Grid * Smart Grid networking infrastructure design and performance * Networking for smart metering, demand response management and pricing * Wide-area measurement, monitoring and control * Smart cities, buildings and home automation * Security and privacy issues in Smart Grid Communications * Quality of service and cross-layer in Smart Grids * Interconnection & Communications of electric vehicles and Smart Grid * Standardization activities for Smart Grid Communications * Energy efficient mobile and wireless/wired access networks * Architectures and frameworks for energy efficient network services and applications Submission Procedure Submitted papers must represent original material which is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-pages standard IEEE conference two-column format (including all text, figures, and references). Please refer to the workshop web pages for submission instructions.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) - Special issue on Wireless Physical Layer Security
by Lars Wolf 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)gmail.com> schrieb: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special issue on “Signal Processing Techniques for Wireless Physical Layer Security” The emergence of large-scale, dynamic, and decentralized wireless networks imposes new challenges on classical security measures such as cryptography. To this end, researchers have sought novel information theoretic techniques that can secure wireless networks without the need for secret keys. One of the most promising ideas is to exploit the wireless channel physical layer characteristics such as fading or noise, which are traditionally seen as impediments, for improving the reliability of wireless transmission against eavesdropping attacks. Physical layer security has emerged as a key technique for providing trustworthy and reliable future wireless networks and has witnessed a significant growth in the past few years. To this end, this special issue aims to gather cutting-edge contributions from academia and industry that address and show the latest results on securing wireless networks at the physical layer. This special issue has a particular emphasis on advanced signal processing, information theoretic, and communication techniques that can make the vision of secret wireless transmission using the physical layer characteristics of the wireless channel a reality. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Advanced beamforming and other multi-antenna techniques. - Secure relaying and cooperative transmission techniques. - Dynamic resource allocation for physical layer security in various communication scenarios which include (but are not limited to) securing multiuser channels (multiple access, broadcast, relay, interference) , dynamic spectrum access, and spectrum-sharing based cognitive radio channels. - Secure network coding / Byzantine attacks. - Signal processing techniques for advanced security primitives such as authentication, bit commitment, oblivious transfer, secret sharing, etc. - Secret key generation from fading channels via public discussion/common randomness. - Cross-layer design techniques that combine physical layer security and cryptographic algorithms. - Attacker optimization: jamming and eavesdropping. - Game theory for wireless physical layer security. - Wireless physical layer techniques for enhanced location and signal privacy. - Experimental results on signal processing for enhancing security at the physical layer. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE JSAC format described at http://jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to EDAS: http://edas.info.

Due to the wide variety of topics in networking, it focuses on relatively "mainstream" networking conferences and workshops. In particular, due to the large number of venues in the wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor areas, unless an event is sponsored or in-cooperation with SIGCOMM, we do not advertize those topics, since there are many other mechanisms and communities for doing so. SENDING ME MAIL: This email address gets about 2500 emails a month, 99.999 percent of which is SPAM. please put [SIGCOMM] at the beginning of the Subject: header, otherwise I will not see it. SENDING TO THE MAILING LIST: This is a moderated mailing list that requires my approval to post. Again, due to spam, I don't approve requests to post to the list.

Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Hybrid Intelligent Systems Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Maritime Navigation Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - Special Session - Multimedia Mobile Communication Call for Papers. Submission due: June 30, 2012 - To encourage more student submit papers, the "Student Registration Fee (333 USD) " will cover one paper presentation. Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is a promising technology to improve safety and security for all transport modes, to reduce traffic congestion, to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail maritime, fluvial) and support information services in vehicles with the general purpose of reducing the impact of transport on the environment. The development of sustainable mobility is a key challenge for the development of urban areas. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is already there in the public transport domain and this should be generalized. This era will be driven by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Safety- related applications are not only taken into consideration, but non-safety multimedia content providers are also becoming a new topic of research. Key players in the industry, such as automotive companies, public transport operators, railway industries and government agencies, are investing heavily in the advanced research and development of many ITS technologies and applications. This research effort primarily focuses on the system development and standardization of telematics. During recent ITS developments, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. These progresses are also really important in the public transport domain (buses, metro, trains, tramways) for which V2V and V2I for safety and non safety applications are a key component for the exploitation but also for reducing energy consumption. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Furthermore, all these applications require accurate and reliable positioning using GNSS solutions alone or enhanced with map-matching and sensors fusion. Technology and applications for ITS and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, intelligent engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private sector and the public sector to exchange new ideas. This conference aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), cooperative systems, information dissemination, road and rail safety, information and emergency services, etc. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for vehicular communication environments in all transport modes. Topics of Interest: ---------------- Four tracks will be emphasized in ITST-2012 (but not limited on): Track1: Smart Vehicle - Video/Audio signal processing for driver-assistance systems - In-vehicle communications/telematics - Analog/Digital circuit design for in-car smart systems - SoC architecture/platform for smart vehicle systems - Green design techniques for ITS - Security and privacy in vehicular networks - Field operational tests and testbeds for smart vehicular - Vehicle collision avoidance - Sensors and actuators Track2: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods - New ITS/Telematics applications - Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities Track3: Telecommunications and Positioning - V2V, V2I and V2X communications - Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy - Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, 802.11x, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, LTE-A, GPS) - Mobility or handover technology - System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics - PHY issues: channel measurements, channel modeling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. - Physical layer and antenna technologies for vehicular networks - RF propagation models for vehicular networks - Radio resource management for vehicular networks - GPS, GALILEO and terrestrial solutions for accurate and reliable positioning of vehicles Track4: Green Life Toward Blue Planet - Field operational tests and testbeds for vehicular networks - Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on transportation efficiency and safety - Emission modeling and environmental impact assessment - Regional requirements and their consequences - Interference-Management and Spectrally-Efficient Technologies - Resource-Efficient Networking Technology and Application Design - Cross-Layer Design/Optimization and Green Transceiver Design - Novel technologies to reduce human electromagnetic exposure and electromagnetic pollution Some papers will be nominated by the International Advisory Board for the ‥Best Paper Award.〃 To enhance the scientific quality of this event, the conference Organizing Committee has entered into an agreement with the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Alan Stevens) and the publishing office of IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), which is an SCI-E (ISI) and EI indexed peer-reviewed journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [tccc] CFP: 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications (ITST-2012), Taipei, Taiwan, Datum: Tue, 29 May 2012 17:19:57 +0800 Von: Chun-Cheng Lin (NCTU) <cclin321(a)nctu.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu == Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers == ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications (ITST-2012) Taipei, Taiwan November 5 - 8, 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.itst2012.org/ Current Highlights: ---------------- - Technical co-sponsorship by IEEE ComSoc has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by IEICE-CS has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by IET has been approved. - Technical co-sponsorship by Technical Committee on ITS of Engineering Sciences Society (ESS), The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineering (IEICE) - 20 papers will be selected to win Best Paper Awards of ITST 2012 and to peer-review rounds for possible inclusion in the IET ITS (approved by EiC of IET ITS: Alan Stevens). - Several papers will be invited to further review rounds for possible inclusion in IEEE ITS Magazine (approved by IEEE ITSS President: Alberto Broggi). - Keynote Speaker: Dr. Adam Drobot, former President of Advanced Technology Solutions/Telcordia, CTO for Telcordia Topic: ITS Telecommunications: .Car .Road .Net - Keynote Speaker: Prof. Hanna Bogucka Topic: Holistic Approach to Future Green Mobile Communications. - Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michele Fiorini, IET Italy Chairman & Principal Engineer Topic: The Titanic's Myth – A Century of Legend and Technology - Keynote Speaker: Prof. Alberto Broggi, President (2010-2011), IEEE ITS Society Topic: Driverless Vehicles: Challenges and Future Wireless communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is a promising technology to improve safety and security for all transport modes, to reduce traffic congestion, to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail maritime, fluvial) and support information services in vehicles with the general purpose of reducing the impact of transport on the environment. The development of sustainable mobility is a key challenge for the development of urban areas. A new era of vehicular technology that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is already there in the public transport domain and this should be generalized. This era will be driven by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Safety-related applications are not only taken into consideration, but non-safety multimedia content providers are also becoming a new topic of research. Key players in the industry, such as automotive companies, public transport operators, railway industries and government agencies, are investing heavily in the advanced research and development of many ITS technologies and applications. This research effort primarily focuses on the system development and standardization of telematics. During recent ITS developments, transportation telematics techniques have exhibited much progress, e.g., interaction between vehicles and the infrastructure for delivering services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle condition reports. These progresses are also really important in the public transport domain (buses, metro, trains, tramways) for which V2V and V2I for safety and non safety applications are a key component for the exploitation but also for reducing energy consumption. A number of IEEE 802.11p-like equipment prototypes have been built, and several technical reports based on field trials have demonstrated the lack of cutting-edge techniques to improve system performance. Furthermore, all these applications require accurate and reliable positioning using GNSS solutions alone or enhanced with map-matching and sensors fusion. Technology and applications for ITS and telematics design are rapidly emerging, and there is a critical need to bring together professional researchers, intelligent engineers, academia, industry, standard committees, the private sector and the public sector to exchange new ideas. This conference aims to spur research progress by serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and report original work regarding all aspects of vehicular communication, e.g., Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), cooperative systems, information dissemination, road and rail safety, information and emergency services, etc. Our primary goal is to promote meaningful research in the cross-layered design of architectures, algorithms and applications for vehicular communication environments in all transport modes. Topics of Interest: ---------------- Four tracks will be emphasized in ITST-2012 (but not limited on): Track1: Smart Vehicle ‧ Video/Audio signal processing for driver-assistance systems ‧ In-vehicle communications/telematics ‧ Analog/Digital circuit design for in-car smart systems ‧ SoC architecture/platform for smart vehicle systems ‧ Green design techniques for ITS ‧ Security and privacy in vehicular networks ‧ Field operational tests and testbeds for smart vehicular ‧ Vehicle collision avoidance ‧ Sensors and actuators Track2: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) ‧ Data-collection, organization and dissemination methods ‧ New ITS/Telematics applications ‧ Ongoing ITS/Telematics activities Track3: Telecommunications and Positioning ‧ V2V, V2I and V2X communications ‧ Network protocols including MAC, routing, addressing, multicast, TCP protocols and end-to-end quality of service, resource management, security and privacy ‧ Design with multiple wireless data links (802.11p, 802.11x, WiMAX, WiFi, cell phone, LTE-A, GPS) ‧ Mobility or handover technology ‧ System-level, board-level and chip-level electronics ‧ PHY issues: channel measurements, channel modeling, channel estimation, antenna arrangement, pilot arrangement, etc. ‧ Physical layer and antenna technologies for vehicular networks ‧ RF propagation models for vehicular networks ‧ Radio resource management for vehicular networks ‧ GPS, GALILEO and terrestrial solutions for accurate and reliable positioning of vehicles Track4: Green Life Toward Blue Planet ‧ Field operational tests and testbeds for vehicular networks ‧ Assessment of impact of vehicular networks on transportation efficiency and safety ‧ Emission modeling and environmental impact assessment ‧ Regional requirements and their consequences ‧ Interference-Management and Spectrally-Efficient Technologies ‧ Resource-Efficient Networking Technology and Application Design ‧ Cross-Layer Design/Optimization and Green Transceiver Design ‧ Novel technologies to reduce human electromagnetic exposure and electromagnetic pollution Some papers will be nominated by the International Advisory Board for the “Best Paper Award.” To enhance the scientific quality of this event, the conference Organizing Committee has entered into an agreement with the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Alan Stevens) and the publishing office of IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), which is an SCI-E (ISI) and EI indexed peer-reviewed journal.

CFP (Deadline extended): Special Issue on Quality of Experience in Wireless Multimedia Systems (ETT)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 28 May '12

28 May '12

-------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS----------------- Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) Special Issue on Quality of Experience in Wireless Multimedia Systems Aim and Scope: One important objective of new broadband wireless communication networks is to enable people to enjoy multimedia services anywhere at any time. During the recent decade, a variety of techniques have been developed that address Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia applications in wireless networks. Good QoS is necessary, but not necessarily sufficient for good user perception, enjoyment and acceptance of a service. Thus, Quality of Experience (QoE) / Quality of Perception (QoP) has emerged as an important concept, covering subjective and objective, qualitative and quantitative measures of ultimate importance for users and thus, for service providers and operators. QoE issues have been creating a new assessment and management paradigm in multimedia systems, and they are gaining special attention in wireless communication networks, as the latter have proven to be quite hostile environments for multimedia streaming due to volatile radio conditions and lacks of capacity. QoE metrics are considered as important metrics to measure the quality level of multimedia contents from the users' perspective. QoE-oriented approaches aim to overcome the limitations of current QoS-aware schemes, not only emerging as a new trend towards objective measures but also providing necessary links to human perception. The use of such metrics is expected to turn the optimization of wireless networks more efficient in terms of user satisfaction than traditional techniques that are focusing solely on objective QoS metrics such as throughput, delay, jitter, throughput-based fairness, etc.QoE models that include user perception and user behavior are of essential importance for QoE-aware optimization of any communication system. In particular, novel QoE-aware transmission approaches are encouraged to be proposed to improve the efficiency of wireless networks for multimedia services. The aim of this feature topic issue isto encourage researchers to submit their work related to QoE-aware wireless multimedia networks. Authors with recent unpublished work on QoE modeling,measurements, analysis, control and optimization are particularly encouraged to submit their original contribution to this special issue. This feature topic also aims at bringing together the state-of-the-art research results of QoE issues for wireless multimedia networks. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: -- Relationships between traffic patterns, QoS and QoE parameters -- QoE models, their applications and use cases -- QoE inference from user behavior -- QoE measurement methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, pseudo-subjective testing, etc.) -- QoE for new wireless multimedia applications (e.g. 3D video) -- QoE-based routing and resource management -- QoE-aware transmission in wireless systems -- QoE-based network management -- QoE-aware cross-layer design -- QoE-driven adaptation and control mechanisms for wireless systems and devices -- QoE-based optimization in wireless environments -- Testbed for QoE performance evaluation -- Media synchronization,playback, and buffer management Papers must strictly focus on QoE issues and thus significantly go beyond current QoS approaches. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915/homepage/For… <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915/homepage…> ).

A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications General Chair - Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) Program Chair - Habib M.

In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems- Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems- Software design and implementation for energy-awareness- Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing- Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals- Evolvability aspects- Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems- Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems- Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties- Formal validation and verification- Software testing- Parallel and distributed debugging- Application and industrial case studies- Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.

[UbiComp 2012 CfP] - Effects of Subliminal Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments (only 1 week left!)
by Andreas Riener 22 May '12

22 May '12

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "Methodical Approaches to Prove the Effects of Subliminal | | Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments" | | | | Pittsburgh, PA, USA; September 8, 2012 | | colocated with UbiComp 2012 (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/UbiComp12 | | Submission deadline (position papers): May 28, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- There has been much debate around perception of subliminal cues, and their effect on human behavior, especially whether such an effect indeed exists or is only a false marketing myth (Vicary, 1957). As the preven- tion of additional cognitive workload in HCI is a topic of increasing importance, new forms or modalities of interaction between humans and interfaces need to be explored. One promising approach is to use subliminal stimulation or the injection of information below aware perception. To throw light on this issue, the workshop is centered on the questions how subliminal effects can be scientifically supported or how a certain claim could be empirically re- futed. Researchers are welcome to submit position papers by May 28th, 2012 via the electronic paper submission system available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). Papers must describe the app- roach and experimental setting used for testing subliminal interaction in HCI, as well as provide a discussion whether or not the effect could have been scientifically supported. More detailed information about aim, submission and review process, etc. is available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- We are interested in receiving contributions & discussing topics at the workshop related to: * Philosophy, rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in UbiComp environments * Ethical issues in application of subliminal perception and impact * Risk assessment in subliminal interfaces (from the view of the user or the system developer) * Qualitative/quantitative evaluation methodologies for the perception of subliminal information * Subliminally delivered information and relation to other constructs such as cognitive load, perceived performance, emotions, etc. * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, appropriate mo- dalities, speed of perception, strength/ duration/frequency) * Effectiveness of subliminal perception in UbiComp environments (such as context-aware adaptive interfaces, user-aware adaptive interfaces, personalized commercials,...) * Subliminal perception using different modalities (visual: flashing picture, video, text; auditory: compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds; haptic/tactile; olfactory, or others) * Issues with subliminal perception, such as social acceptance or pre- ference, privacy issues, security issues * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (gender, age, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ethnologic background) Please submit your position papers of up to 6 pages in SIGCHI archival format using the workshop paper submission system available at https://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/submissions/openconf.php SIGCHI templates can be downloaded at the the UbiComp 2012 template web- page at (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012/calls/templates.html). Sub- missions do not need to be anonymous.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2012) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [cfp]IEEE Power and QoS Aware Computing( PQoSCOM 2012) Workshop co-located with IEEE Cluster2012,Beijing,China,Sep.24, 2012 Datum: Tue, 22 May 2012 00:40:09 +0800 Von: root <root(a)cloud.hdu.edu.cn> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers of IEEE PQoSCOM2012 WORKSHOP. co-located with IEEE Cluster 2012 September 24, 2012, Beijing North Star Continental Grand Hotel,Beijing, China http://cloud.hdu.edu.cn/PQoSCom/ Important Dates: Workshop Paper Due: June 3rd, 2012 Author Notification: June 30th, 2012 Camera-ready Paper Due: July 15th, 2012 Special Issues: All the accepted papers in this workshop will be published in the IEEE Cluster 2012 Proceedings and indexed by EI. Extensions of selected papers in this workshop will be published in the special issues of the following SCI journals: Elsevier Future Generation Computer System(SCI I.F./2.365) Information Systems Frontiers(Springer, SCI I.F./1.596) Description Power is becoming a critical resource to not only mobile, wireless, and battery-powered devices, but also large-scale server systems and data centers. Lower power consumption can significantly extend the usage time of battery-powered devices or reduce heat-related malfunctions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise server systems and data centers. However, existing solutions for power aware computing mostly focus on the power reduction of the targeted computing systems at the sacrifice of QoS (Quality of Service) performance. Due to the high-density of service consolidation and development of new applications and the increasing number of users with heterogeneous requests, providing users with QoS guarantees while executing applications and saving power consumption has become a crucial problem that needs to be addressed for various computing systems. Moreover, with active deployment of multi-core and many-core architecture, virtualization and the emerging cloud comp! uting infrastructure, power and QoS constraints raise more challenges and have negative impacts on system performance. Hence, various aspects of power and QoS aware related solutions, such as algorithms design, performance evaluation and analysis, and prototypical implementation are required to make the computing system more power efficient with little loss of QoS performance. This workshop focuses on the challenges imposed by power and QoS constraints on computing systems, and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. 2012 International Workshop on Power and QoS Aware Computing (PQoSCom2012) is a forum for professionals involved in energy efficiency and QoS constraints in parallel and distributed computing systems and data center operations and management. The goal of this workshop is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of power aware and QoS constrained computing and bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. We believe that power and QoS aware computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, PQoSCom 2012 will provide a forum for both academics and industry practitioners to share their ideas and experiences, discuss challenges and recent advances, introduce developments and tools, identify open issues, present applications and enhancements for power and QoS aware computi! ng systems and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging trends in this important area. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications. We welcome various different kinds of papers that could formalize, simplify and optimize all the aspects of existing large scale computing systems and applications in science, engineering and business. We particularly encourage the submission of position papers that describe novel research directions and work that is in its formative stages, and papers about practical experiences and lessons learned from production systems. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports, work-in-progress and vision papers with different criteria for each category that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of power and QoS aware computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications are also solicited. List of topics Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Novel Power-aware Architectures for Various Kind of Computing Systems Power and QoS Optimization Power and QoS Tradeoff Modeling and Simulation Power and QoS Performance Evaluation Power and QoS Aware Scheduling Power and QoS Aware Load Balancing QoS Specification, Formulation, Quantification and Verification Instrumentation, Profiling, and Measuring of Power Consumption Power and QoS awareness and Management at All Levels Virtualization Multi/Many Core Grid/Cluster/Cloud/Mobile/ Embedded Computing Power-aware Real Time Systems Power Reduction Algorithms & Applications Survey/Reviews of Power and QoS Challenges of Modern Computing Systems Power Efficiency and Thermal Management in Data Centers Power and QoS Aware Storage and File Systems Fault Tolerance, Reliability, and Availability Green Data Intensive Computing Performance Engineering, Benchmark Design, and Run-time Power-QoS management Important dates Paper Submission: May/20/2012 Notification of Acceptance: Jun/15/2012 Final Version of the Paper: Jul/7/2012 Submission Instructions Please submit full papers in PDF or doc format via the submission system.

Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) Datum: Mon, 21 May 2012 02:18:39 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] International Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012 http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Scope: In recent years, there is growing demand for data traffic on next generation wireless networks due to the proliferation of data hungry applications (e.g. streaming video, interactive traffic flows, etc) and emergence of smart terminal devices and their applications, such as smart grids, mobile cloud services, advanced healthcare systems, intelligent transportation systems. On the other hand, need for ubiquitous computing and high mobility support also become evident as users are more and more asking for “any-time any-where” connectivity. Hence, an important challenge for telecom vendors and operators is devising and deploying cost-effective yet high capacity infrastructures, which support also large coverage and high mobility. Such a challenge puts forward an ever enlarging set of problems, both on intra-technology as well as inter-technology domains, putting integration challenges also in the picture. This workshop focuses on design and deployment issues of next generation wireless infrastructures, potentially made up of heterogeneous access technologies, supporting a wide range of applications and user needs in a coherent and unified manner. This workshop will bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia in all aspects of next generation wireless networks. Subjects of interests include, but are not limited to: - Heterogeneous network (HetNets) deployment strategies - Business models, network management and offloading strategies for user-deployed infrastructure - Distributed algorithms and protocols for policy control in heterogeneous communication technologies - Energy-efficient network architectures and protocols, resource management techniques - System Architectures and Applications for Smart Grid - Smart Grid Communication Networks and System Simulators - Experiences from real-world wireless network deployment, test-bed and field trials - Innovative mobile application frameworks for seamless integration - Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and technologies in heterogeneous networks - Coverage and capacity issues in future wireless cellular networks - Mobile cloud service models for high mobility - Data mining and large-scale mobile data management techniques in facilitating heterogeneous access - QoS (Quality-of-Service), scalability and reliability issues in heterogeneous networks - Unified security, trust and privacy issues Submission: For submission instructions please visit workshop site at http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Important dates: - Paper Submission Deadline: May 27th, 2012 - Notification of Acceptance: June 18th, 2012 - Camera Ready Paper and Registration Due: July 2nd, 2012 Workshop Chairs: Dr. Salih Ergüt (AveaLabs) (salih.ergut(a)avea.com.tr) Prof. Raghupathy Sivakumar (Georgia Institute of Technology) (siva(a)ece.gatech.edu) Program Chairs: Dr. Çagri Güngör (Bahçesehir University) (cagri.gungor(a)bahcesehir.edu.tr) Dr. Zhu Han (University of Houston) (zhan2(a)mail.uh.edu) Dr. Zafer Sahinoglu (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories) (zafer(a)merl.com) Dr. Hamed Mohsenian-Rad (Texas Tech University) (hamed.mohsenian-rad(a)ttu.edu) Publicity Chair: Dr. Can Vuran (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) (mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu) -- -- M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine Communications - Deadline: June 4, 2012 Datum: Fri, 18 May 2012 09:00:26 +0200 Von: Carles Anton-Haro <carles.anton(a)cttc.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ************************************************* * Our apologies for multiple and cross-postings * ************************************************* Call for Papers Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine: An Emerging Communication Paradigm Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) (formerly known as European Transactions on Telecommunications) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915 ----- !! Manuscripts due : June 4, 2012 !! ----- ----- !! Publication date : Q1/2013 !! ----- Aim and Scope: -------------- In recent years, the number of networked machines and/or devices, such as those encountered in automatic meter readers, vending machines, or in remote monitoring applications; has dramatically increased. As a result, we have witnessed the emergence of the so-called paradigm of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M devices are often characterized by very modest data rates, low mobility and stringent cost requirements, along with the need to communicate over a wide area. Besides, in the coming years, M2M devices are expected to significantly outnumber voice and (often bandwidth-hungry) data terminals. All this entails a major re-design of future cellular networks, which were originally conceived with human-to-human communications in mind. This opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, security and inter-networking architectures. To this end, the European Telecommunication Standards Institute's M2M Technical Committee has proposed a hybrid architecture whereby cellular-enabled gateways act as traffic aggregation and protocol translation points for their capillary (i.e. wireless sensor) networks. Capillary networks, in turn, are composed of a potentially high number of devices (namely, sensors and actuators) equipped with short-range radio interfaces, often compliant IEEE802.15.4-related standards. Current standardization activities in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) encompass a number of optimizations specifically addressing machine-type communication needs. Moreover, IPSO (IP for Smart Objects) is assembling a protocol stack from standards being finalized at the IEEE and IETF. This special issue aims at gathering recent advances in the areas of advanced M2M communication systems, and technologies, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, IETF and IPSO. Topics of Interest: ------------------- The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Scalable system architecture and components - Channel and traffic modeling and methodology - Optimization of radio access technologies and protocols for M2M communications - Interworking and routing protocols for M2M networks - Device and mobility management - Data aggregation techniques and architectures for massive M2M networks - Low-latency and energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-harvesting techniques for M2M devices - Security, trust, reliability and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Emulation, test-beds, and field trials - Regulatory issues Submission instructions: ------------------------ The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….

"Kravets, Robin Hillary" <rhk(a)ILLINOIS.EDU> schrieb: Thanks rhk [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for ACM CHANTS 2012 The 7th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2012 August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. After the success of the previous Workshop on Delay-tolerant Networking (WDTN-05) and the Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS'06), CHANTS'07, CHANTS'08, CHANTS'09, CHANTS'10 and CHANTS'11, this year CHANTS will take place jointly with ACM MobiCom 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos addressing the following topics: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Full paper submission guidelines All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages with 10 point font and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings.
