Alireza Seyedi <alireza.seyedi-esfahani(a)rochester.edu> schrieb: First IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS The first IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications (IWEHC) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE ICC 2012 in Ottawa, Canada. All papers will be peer reviewed by TPC members and other experts in the field. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and on the IEEE Xplore website. Scope: Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communication nodes only use energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication. This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC. It will create a forum where the researchers working on this topic can share their results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC. Topics include (but are not limited to): * Physical layer protocols, link-layer algorithm design and analysis * Modeling energy harvesting processes and their role in optimizing the communication performance * Energy harvesting sensor design for body area networks * Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Sensing accuracy – throughput (rate-distortion) trade-off analysis * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Novel applications of EHC Organizers: Alireza Seyedi - University of Rochester alireza(a)ece.rochester.edu Chandra Murthy - Indian Institute of Science cmurthy(a)ece.iisc.ernet.in Workshop web page: http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~alireza/IWEHC.htm Workshop submission page: http://edas.info/N11443 Important Dates: Paper submission: December 20th 2011(extended) Acceptance notification: February 15th 2012 Camera ready paper: TBD Workshop: TBD (June 11th or 15th 2012) _____________________________________________ Alireza Seyedi Assistant Professor (Research) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Rochester Phone: 585-275-2125 Web: http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~alireza/ _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications (RealWiN 2012) Datum: Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:27:22 +0100 Von: James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Kopie (CC): James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop onReal-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012 Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012 #### Scope: ########## During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general. Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial and process control have substantially more stringent requirements in terms of reliability, real-time, security and networked control performance than even time-critical best-effort applications like Voice-Over-IP have. This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on 'soft' real time requirements as well as on 'hard' real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc. In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction): * Physical layer design * Medium access control and interference management * Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis * Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking * Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation * Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation * Application scenarios and requirements * Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks * Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking * Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues * Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks * Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems * Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments #### Dates: ########## Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012 Notification: February 13th, 2012 Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012 #### Submissions and Review Process: ########## We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described above. Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column, single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012 Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email. #### Program Committee: ################## * Björn Andersson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA * Michael Bahr, Siemens CT, Germany * Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurth, Austria * James Gross, RWTH Aachen Universit, Germany * Kimmo Kansanen, NTNU Trondheim, Norway * Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany * Rolf Kraemer, Technical University of Cottbus, Germany * Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa, Italy * Thiemo Voigt, SICS, Sweden * Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand * Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg, Germany -- James Gross Assistant Professor UMIC Research Centre RWTH Aachen University Germany Email:gross@umic.rwth-aachen.de Phone: +49-241-8020741 www.umic.rwth-aachen.de/performance -- _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

I hope the late announcement of this extension has not caused inconvenience. Cheers, Lachlan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- 1st IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids http://csl.illinois.edu/smart-grid Call for papers: As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts toward developing new technologies for green strategies lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and reducing total energy consumption. For these efforts to be sustainable, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector must overcome a number of challenges, such as: reducing the life-cycle resource consumption of the exploding market in mobile devices; using as little electricity from non-renewable sources as possible; improving efficiency of the individual devices; and managing complex interconnected systems, communication products and services. Conversely, the ICT can improve the sustainability of activities in the physical world and lower GHG emissions in other industries, notably electric power generation and distribution. Advanced communications and networking technologies are expected to play a vital role in future power systems and smart grid infrastructures. They will provide a two-way information flow to enable more efficient monitoring, control, and optimization of different grid functionalities, including two-way energy flow between smart power devices. The Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids is intended to provide a forum for discussion on all these most recent developments and bring together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The workshop is in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) and it is organized in two tracks: one focused on Designing Sustainable ICT, and the other one devoted to Smart Grid Systems. While the two tracks have different foci and have separate program committees (but a common steering committee), the workshop will provide a unique occasion for two communities with complementary interests and common goals to meet and share ideas and visions.

The capabilities of actor nodes include enhanced processing ability, powerful wireless transmission, large battery and mobility. Actor nodes can leverage their capabilities to facilitate better coverage, connectivity and energy efficient operation. Such capabilities offer unprecedented opportunities to serve a diverse range of applications. For instance, actors with mobility can be used to mend a partitioned network, set up new routes, facilitate energy efficient data collection and improve sensor coverage. Similarly, the some sensor nodes may also be equipped with actuation capability called actuators that perform actions to change the behaviour of environment or the physical system. Embedding actuation in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) opens a realm of opportunities for Wireless Sensor Actuator Network (WSAN) industrial applications requiring monitoring and control. While significant research progress have been made in networking and communication aspects of WSNs, new design paradigms are required for wireless sensor actor and actuator networks (WiSAANs). In particular new ideas are required to address the challenges resulting from introducing actors and actuators in the network. This workshop aims to bring the state-of-art research contributions in theory, design and implementation of communication protocols for WiSAANs. Another key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present their work and share their views. We expect the workshop to act as a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their ideas on addressing the most current challenges, potential solutions and future developments of WiSAANs. We encourage contributions describing original work in the realm of data collection, architecture, algorithms, communication protocols and implementations of WSANs. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Architectural models for WiSAANs - Algorithms and communication protocols for WiSAANs - Service model for WiSAANs - Sensor-actor and sensor-actuator co-ordination - QoS models for WiSAANs - Energy efficient protocols for WiSAANs - Integration of real-time protocols with WiSAAN - Time modeling and synchronization in WiSAANs - WiSAAN current and future applications and implementations - Data processing and management in WiSAANs - Medium access protocols for WiSAANs - Routing Protocols for WiSAANs - Data gathering and data fusion models for improving real-time performance in WiSAANs ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: 20 December 2011 (Extended Deadline) Authors Notification: 10 February 2012 Final Manuscript: 31 March 2012 Workshop Date: June 10 -15 2012 --------------- General Chairs --------------- Prof. Ivan Stojmenović, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Prof. Zabih Ghassemlooy, CEIS, Northumbria University, UK -------------------- Workshop Organizers -------------------- Dr. Ramiro Liscano, UoIT, Canada, Dr. Nauman Aslam, Northumbria University, UK _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Tccc] Deadline extended: IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12)
by Lars Wolf 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extended: IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) Datum: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:27:38 +0000 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Deadline extended to: 20 December 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) 10th – 15th of June 2012, Ottawa, Canada Satellite Workshop of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2012) Goals and Topics Healthcare providers from around the globe are currently faced with significant challenges due to an exponential rise in costs, increased demand for services, and limited access to financial and human resources. This is directly linked to the fact that people are living longer with an expected 761 million of us being over the age of 65 by 2025. This will increase the risk of chronic disease and other co-morbidities amongst the elderly and estimates suggest that treating this particular group of people currently accounts for 78% of all healthcare expenditure (over a trillion US dollars per year) with spending expected to be $4.3 trillion in 2018 compared to $27.5 billion in 1960. Whilst increasing life expectancy is at an all-time high, it has become difficult to sustain. One suggestion is that quality of life and life expectancy can be increased through healthy aging and lifestyle choices. Positive behavioural changes will empower people and support the prevention of acute episodes, including the provision of provide better services that are tailored to people’s healthcare needs. This presents a unique opportunity were the use of information and communications technology could be used to support the delivery and management of healthcare services. Building on advances in Smartphone technologies and wireless communications it is possible to bridge the gap between people and medical facilities and transform healthcare services and clinical intervention within the community. These technologies, as well as allowing us to make a phone call, text a friend, or update our social networking site, provide access to vital data about a person that can be collected and analysed to support research, medical and healthcare education, and clinical practice with less reliance on secondary care (hospital admissions). Empowering people in the community, particularly the aging population, allows them to evaluate lifestyle choices and to take control of their own healthcare needs. Diseases, such as diabetes and obesity are often caused by an accumulation of unmonitored health-related choices, such as poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which occur over decades rather than weeks or months. Smartphones, body sensors, and wireless communications provide the necessary tools to host community healthcare services and applications capable of real-time monitoring and analysis of lifestyle choices. Using digital diaries, social networking, SMS, amongst other technologies, makes it possible to manage adherence and provide education about relevant medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, sexual health, poor nutrition and the lack of exercise. All this will have the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of mobile ICT in health. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools, and this comes at a time when sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. From a technical perspective, a number of challenges still remain and form part of the topics under this call for papers. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of mobile consumer healthcare networks, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: • Mobile applications for elderly healthcare • Mobile applications for adherence monitoring in aggressive treatment regimens • Mobile devices for healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps • Mobile interfaces for data Visualization • Mobile devices for patient monitoring • Ad hoc and wireless sensor systems and networks • Mobile data management and processing • Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare applications • Radio-Frequency (RFID) wireless technology in medical devices • Wireless Identification and Services Platform (WISP) for mobile healthcare • Medical Device Control via Wireless Technology • Safe, Effective, Secure and Reliable Use of Wireless Technology in healthcare • Wearable and implantable sensors • Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare • Health specific wireless communication protocols in healthcare (WMTS, IMS, MICS) • Wireless Body Area Networks • Consumer Healthcare (cHealth) • Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation.

30 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Elsevier/SIMPAT: Special Issue on Simulation-based Performance Evaluation of Infrastructures for the Internet of Things: Connectivity and resource considerations in the mobility Era Datum: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:15:15 +0200 Von: Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis <mavromoustakis.c(a)unic.ac.cy> Organisation: University of Nicosia An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apology if you receive multiple copies of this message. Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory/Elsevier Special Issue on Simulation-based Performance Evaluation of Infrastructures for the Internet of Things: Connectivity and resource considerations in the mobility Era Call for Papers ---------------- Smart wireless devices that are configured to communicate in a Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) manner will be soon able to have integrated features hosting all kinds of daily needs’ applications, in a 3A (Anything, Anytime, Anywhere) reliable configuration, and interact with one another using multiplatform applications. These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.

Fwd: [Tccc] SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15, 2011: CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 30 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15, 2011: CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:11:39 +0200 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> THE NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2011. Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Third Greenet Workshop Datum: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:55:47 +0000 Von: Friderikos, Vasilis <vasilis.friderikos(a)kcl.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Green Wireless Communications and Networks Workshop (GreeNet) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-located with IEEE VTC Spring 2012, Yokohama, Japan 6th-9th May 2012 Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Deadline: 16 Dec 2011 Notification: 13 Jan 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: 6 Feb 2012 Website: -------- http://vtc2012workshops.trackchair.com/track/983 Overview -------- Broadband wireless mobile communications data traffic is rapidly growing to provide data services for devices such as tablets, smartphones and laptops. However, for many operators, growth in traffic is not match by the same growth in revenue. There is an increasing awareness of the environmental impact of both wireless networks and the Internet in general. Many operators have thus made commitments to reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with their networks. The objective of this workshop is to build on the success of the first two Greenet workshops to discuss these issues in detail. One major area where advances may be made is in moving towards more energy efficient network deployments which employ a mix of network components, such as macro-cell base stations, relays, picocells and femtocells to provide coverage and support high traffic demands. A second important avenue of research relates to new technologies and algorithms that can be deployed within the radio of each device to reduce energy consumption. This workshop particularly encourages contributions with blue sky thinking on how future technologies can be substantially more energy efficient than current systems. We invite five page paper submissions not previously published and are not currently under review for publication from researchers and practitioners active in the field of Green Wireless Communications and Networks covering (but not limited to) the following topics: 1. Energy Efficient Network design - Efficient network architectures - Heterogeneous networks - Network traffic engineering and QoS support - Network operation and management 2. Enabling technologies - Physical layer techniques - MAC protocols - Cross-layer optimization - Cognitive networks 3. Network components and devices - Low power devices - User terminal designs - Base station hardware architectures - Power management for user terminals and network devices 4. Applications and services of wireless technologies - Wireless smart grid and energy management concepts - Wireless networking for home working/smart office - Machine-to-machine communications - Regulatory issues - New topics for standardisation Workshop Organisers ------------------- John Thompson, University of Edinburgh Timothy O'Farrell, University of Sheffield Vasilis Friderikos, Kings College London _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. Online social networks provide mechanisms for establishing online identities and creating relationships. The resulting social graph provides a network for maintaining social relationships and for locating content, with the potential of changing computer systems and applications, for example, by providing new means to publish and find content as well as new ways to reason about trust. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference, since the research issues with online social networks span the topics of distributed computing, databases, and storage systems as well as security and privacy. This workshop will focus on the systems issues of online social networks. Broadly, a systems issue of social networks comprises three main areas: 1. Infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems). 2. Ways of leveraging social networks in systems design. 3. Measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Management and querying of large social graphs. • Graph query engines and query optimization for online processing. • Support for consistency among concurrent readers and writers to a large distributed social graph. • Partitioning large social graphs. • Data storage and organization. • Benchmarking, modeling, and workload characterization. • Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. • Experiences with deployed systems. • Leveraging social network properties in systems design. • Issues of privacy and security. • Tools for designing and deploying social networks. • Application programming interfaces for social networks. • System support for social analytics and network dynamics. • Methods for integrating multiple networks. • Performance measurement and analysis of online social networks systems.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 24 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:11:33 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization The Internet is the critical element in future global ICT strategy. However, the way the current Internet is managed and the way it provides services cannot match the fast changing and more demanding requirements imposed by user-end applications. Network virtualisation, coupled with an effective and efficient approach to manage virtualised resources, is increasingly regarded as a promising key candidate solution to the problem. However, the diversity of the network structures, protocols and standards in networks, which is further complicated by the high-speed, content-rich, burst-type natures of the future network traffic, poses big challenges on system design and protocol engineering of virtualized networks. This Special Issue expects to address network virtualization issues related to end-to-end transmission of information, starting from user devices (including mobile devices), going through access networks (including both wireless networks such as WiFi/WiMAX/3G/LET/etc and wired networks such as PONs), and then traversing through fixed core networks (IP/MPLS/WDM), arriving at the other side of access before eventually reaching the other side of the user device. Paper can address any individual network (and even device) along this chain or a combination of them (i.e., converged networks). It is at the author's disposal as to which particular network technology to choose (or even an abstract one) for virtualization. Both node virtualization (such as soft access point), link virtualization or a combination of both can be addressed. The goal of this SI is to highlight and systematically address the challenges arising from network virtualization. The collection of the articles in this SI will create a forum for researches, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish the key results and to disseminate the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in all aspects of network virtualization. This SI will also serve as a stimulus to educate about, promote and accelerate technological evolution toward network virtualization. Specifically, the special issue will present tutorials, survey and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to): - Network virtualization issues across various network technologies including optical/MPLS core networks, IP core networks, fixed broadband access network technologies - Individual network virtualization techniques for nodes and/or links - Virtual network system modelling and performance analysis - Mapping algorithms from virtual resources to physical resources and the corresponding signalling protocols - Resource allocation, scheduling, mobility management and Quality-of-Service assurance in virtualized network - Billing issues in virtualized networks - Energy efficiency/green issues - Virtual network management and adaptation - Testing and evaluation tools - Prototype systems and real-world deployment experiences Manuscript Submission --------------------- With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/ni/. Authors should submit their manuscripts through ScholarOne for IEEE Network Magazine.

In the last years the inherent flexibility of wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of technologies that allow networking functions to be deployed by the action of the end-user, for instance as a virtual Internet service operator. However, the potential of this new set of user-centric networking technologies has not been explored in terms of new Internet horizons and potential business opportunities, or in terms of pervasive network experience and social interaction. The Workshop is dedicated to the debate of challenges and opportunities concerning user-centric networking technologies, which allow end-users to cooperate by sharing network services and resources. This set of technology may empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) provide support for a better Internet connectivity; iii) allow the usage of communication services even in the absence of a reliable Internet access; iv) assistive networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in what concerns the end-to-end Internet paradigm, since end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network; ii) in terms of regular network boundaries of trust, which need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; iii) while handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas related to user-centric networking technologies, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols and new components that integrate into a future Internet architecture. We encourage submissions of full papers describing highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work.

The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware * QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES _____________________________________________ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, 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.

Call for papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)
by Vincenzo De Florio 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Dear Sirs, please let me direct your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS -- the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. Please accept my apologies should you receive multiple copies of this message. Kind regards,Vincenzo De Florio. ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.4 No.2, Vol.4 No.3 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATES: December 9, 2011 (Vol.4 No.2), February 8, 2012 (Vol.4 No.3). International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)Official publication of the Information ResourcesManagement Associationwww.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief:Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. - University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgiumvincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board:- Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium- Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy- Llorenc Cerda-Alabern - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Spain- Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples- Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy- Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland- Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil- Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy- Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland- Konrad Klockner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany- Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy- Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia- Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany- Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy- Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK- Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium- Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS:Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, analyze, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Robustness, or the emergence of desired properties throught system evolution. In particular, emergence of safety; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express and assess evolvability; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS:Prospective authors should note that only originaland previously unpublished articles will beconsidered.

Held in conjunction with WiOpt 2012. ================================================================= http://spaswin.org/ The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial configuration of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes. As a result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory, networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is the first workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the seven previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda (2005), Boston (2006), Limassol (2007), Berlin (2008), Seoul (2009), Avignon (2010) and Princeton (2011), the goal of SpaSWiN 2012 is to bring together researchers from the various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications. Please join us in Paderborn, Germany on May 14, 2012. Call for papers --------------- The technical program committee is soliciting contributions that employ spatial stochastic models - including, but not limited to, point processes, stochastic geometry, discrete and continuum percolation, and random graphs - to design and analyze wireless networks. All aspects and technologies of wireless networking will be considered, including (but not limited to): ad hoc, cellular, mesh, sensor, mobile, hybrid, and two-tier networks; models for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay, energy efficiency; distributed routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms; network information theory; power and topology control; mobility models.

Mavromoustakis <mavromoustakis.c(a)unic.ac.cy> Organisation: University of Nicosia An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory/Elsevier Special Issue on Simulation-based Performance Evaluation of Infrastructures for the Internet of Things: Connectivity and resource considerations in the mobility Era Call for Papers ---------------- Smart wireless devices that are configured to communicate in a Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) manner will be soon able to have integrated features hosting all kinds of daily needs’ applications, in a 3A (Anything, Anytime, Anywhere) reliable configuration, and interact with one another using multiplatform applications. These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks, mesh networks, sensor networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, distributed computing paradigms, user experiences and web applications. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter. Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limted to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Distributed computing for mobile environments * Networked applications and services * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Sascha Trifunovic, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Demo chair: Agoston Petz, University of Texas at Austin, USA Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Bernhard Distl, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
