A large body of research, from various perspectives, have been produced by both the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities to achieve self-organization and coordination of groups of sensors, actuators, robots or drones toward target-oriented missions. But, the convergence of objectives and methodologies of the two disciplines is still open for further significant research efforts and challenging problems remain. The research on ad hoc networks, autonomic networks, cyber physical systems, self-organizing networks and machine-to-machine communications has involved issues, concepts and challenges that are useful for characterizing the pathway toward the formalization of the theory and the definition of algorithms for Wireless Networked Robotics (WNR). WNR brings together the physical control of the devices along with their communication capabilities and it includes that so far have been either neglected or only partially explored by the ad hoc networking and the robotics research communities. In WNR some or all of the devices are expected to have memory and reasoning capabilities, which allow them to use the input coming from other devices, the environment and their history to select the best behaviour to assume according to mission objectives. Therefore, machine learning and cognitive networks concepts and algorithms would greatly contribute to WNR theory and algorithms. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the theory, algorithms and applications of wireless networked robotics. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - algorithm and theory of cooperation and coordination in WNR modelization, simulation and evaluation of coordination and cooperation schemes in WNR - communication and motion aware protocols for WNR - impact and optimization of network performance through physical and communication control of the devices - bio-inspired algorithms for cooperation and coordination in WNR self-organization in WNR - swarm intelligence and swarm robotics algorithms in WNR use cases and applications for WNR --------------------------------------------- *Submission Format and Guideline: * --------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as "SI - Wireless Networked Robotics" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Potential authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished work through the submission system at the journal website: http://ees.elsevier.com /fgcs/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2012 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 15 Datum: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:41:03 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************************************** Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2012) January 14-17, 2012 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Submission instructions at: http://edas.info/N11047 ************************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment --- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: • Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and Experience • Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications • Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. • Correlating measurements across multiple layers • Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals • Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience • Measurements for Security and Privacy • Distributed and Inter-domain measurements • Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements • Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability • Measurement technology for software-based routers • Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services • Measurements in Home Networks • Measurement Visualization • Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure • New Measurement Initiatives • Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results • Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis • Measurement Data Management Important Dates: Abstract Submission: September 7, 2011 Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 Notification: November 22, 2011 Camera Ready due: December 22, 2011 Organizers General Chair Fabio Ricciato, FTW and University of Salento Program Chair Nina Taft, Technicolor Research, Palo Alto (USA) Local Arrangements Chair Philipp Svoboda, TU Wien Publicity Chair Antonio Pescapè, University of Napoli Federico II ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the area of networking solutions for unmanned autonomous systems. Due to many requests, the deadline for submissions has been extended by another 2 days. The extended deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 19, 2011 (firm). Aims and Scope: Unmanned systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments, e.g. ground-based robotics, aerial sensor systems, space and underwater applications. In order to fulfill challenging tasks, visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. The corresponding wireless networks must provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links for the management of the behavior of the unmanned vehicles' behavior as well as data links to reliably transfer telemetry and sensor data respectively. At the same time, unmanned vehicles offer the capability to provide ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to compensate network outages in case of public events and large scale incidents. The successful first workshop at GLOBECOM 2010 focused mainly on unmanned aerial vehicles (www.wi-uav.org). This year's workshop addresses any kind of unmanned autonomous systems. The workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research initiatives on new communications networks enabling the efficient operation of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater and in space scenarios. Contributions addressing heterogeneous scenarios, e.g. combination of aerial and underwater devices are highly welcome. Topics: - Communication technologies and protocols for UVs - Interworking with satellites and terrestrial networks - Maritime and underwater communication - Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles - Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities and swarming - Network architectures for UVs and mesh networking - Localization and vision based sense-and-avoid - Mini / Micro UAVs and enhanced Health Management - Channel models and antenna design for UVs - Use of civilian networks for UVs communication - Interfaces and cross platform communication - Communication for navigation, control and guidance - Mission control centers and backend communication - QoS mechanisms and performance evaluation - Advances in remote sensing: miniaturization, low-weight and energy efficient communication - Advances in antenna design and MIMO systems - Aerial sensing, surveillance and reconnaissance - Air traffic control and spectrum regulation - Standardization, applications and services - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations (incl. live demos during workshop) Submission Guidelines and Publication: GLOBECOM workshops accept only original, previously unpublished papers.

Wireless networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered performance evaluation and simulation issues, while traditional techniques are not sufficient to analyze, evaluate, and simulate proposed wireless algorithms or systems in the right way. For example, the algorithms and systems in vehicular ad hoc networks require a high degree of communication reliability, short communication delay, scalability, security, and privacy-preserving technologies under harsh condition. Researchers not only need to design practical distributed and centralized algorithms, but also need to introduce novel theoretical models or evaluation methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems originated from these wireless networks. The workshop is intended to encourage idea sharing and cooperation among researchers in wireless networks, and push the theoretical and practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the theoretical modeling, evaluation and analysis techniques, and simulation methods in wireless networks. PEWiN-2011 is in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2011) and all accepted papers will be published in IEEE Explore and included in EI index.

Governments have allocated spectrum for vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications (e.g., DSRC or 4G cellular). Government and industry have funded large partnerships or projects such as IVI (e.g., CAMP, ACAS), ADASE2, as well as new initiatives such as IVBSS, CICAS, and VII, among others. Academic conferences and workshops on automotive networking and ITS are beginning to grow in popularity (e.g., VANET, V2VCOM, and VDTN). Standards community has been active to ensure interoperability with participation of IEEE, ISO, TIA, ASTM and major automobile manufacturers and other industrial cooperation. > There are unique research challenges that need to be addressed in order for vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of automotive applications and unique features of the automotive networking leads to many interesting research areas. The wireless networking between vehicles and with infrastructure has different characteristics from other conventional wireless networking problems. For example, due to rapidly-changing topology as vehicles move around, there are resemblances to ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are very different. Power efficiency is not as important for vehicle communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). Automotive applications also demand stringent communications performance requirements that are not seen in conventional wireless networks. > The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in automotive networking, ITS and applications to survey and collect the state-of-the-art in this emerging field.

Fwd: [Tccc] Deadline Extension: Workshop on "Capacity Sharing"
by Lars Wolf 15 Jul '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline Extension: Workshop on "Capacity Sharing" Datum: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:42:41 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> - Apologies if you receive multiple copies - =========================================================================== Submission Deadline extended to August 1, 2011 =========================================================================== Call for Contributions ---------------------- NEC Laboratories Europe and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) of the University of Stuttgart invite you to a one-day workshop on the topic ---------------- Capacity Sharing ---------------- With the increasing amount of IP traffic in fixed and mobile access networks, the question how to share the available resources in a fair, efficient and demand-oriented way becomes more and more prevalent. With the variety of services one can find in today's Internet, the requirements in rate, data volume and latency differ strongly. To maximize resource utilization and, at the same time, provide satisfying performance to all users, application layer knowledge is needed. As different resource allocation and adaptation mechanisms already exist in MAC, transport and application layer, an integral consideration of the problem space is required. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. Because large over-provisioning factors are economically unfeasible, similar questions on capacity sharing also arise in fixed access networks, such as high bandwidth passive optical networks or cable networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders of mobile and fixed access networks, the classic Internet world and of the application and transport community. We solicit presentations on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We are especially looking forward to (possibly provocative) visionary presentations to foster a lively discussion about how to face the upcoming challenges in the future mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Related standardization activities and projects Submission Information ---------------------- Please inform the workshop organizers by email to about title and abstract (max. 1 page) of your planned presentation. The number of slots is limited. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for contributions: August 1, 2011. Registration to the workshop: September 15, 2011. Workshop date: October 13, 2011.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Authors] CfP Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Datum: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 13:41:56 +0100 Von: Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> Antwort an: Authors of IM, NOMS & CNSM <authors(a)inf.ufsc.br> An: authors(a)inf.ufsc.br ***CALL FOR PAPERS*** Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunication networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially,economically and yes, even psychologically.This special issue aims to advance understanding of research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers.In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Pervasive urban applications for smart cities - Intelligent urban transportation systems - Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications - Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive urban applications - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. **Submission process** All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select SI: Pervasive UrbanApplications, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. **Important Dates** Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First Notification: March 1, 2012 Final Notification: May 15, 2012 **Guest Editors of the Special Issue** Francesco Calabrese, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy Dominik Dahlem, MIT, USA Giusy Di Lorenzo, IBM Research, Dublin, Ireland Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Newcastle University, U

Viele Gruesse, Dirk Kutscher -- Dr. Dirk Kutscher NEC Laboratories Europe Kurfuerstenanlage 36 69115 Heidelberg, Germany email: dirk.kutscher(a)neclab.eu Tel. +49 6221 4342 203 Fax. +49 6221 4342 155 NEC Europe Limited | Registered Office: NEC House, 1 Victoria Road, London W3 6BL | Registered in England 2832014 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] Call for Contributions ---------------------- NEC Laboratories Europe and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) of the University of Stuttgart invite you to a one-day workshop on the topic Capacity Sharing ---------------- With the increasing amount of IP traffic in fixed and mobile access networks, the question how to share the available resources in a fair, efficient and demand-oriented way becomes more and more prevalent. With the variety of services one can find in today's Internet, the requirements in rate, data volume and latency differ strongly. To maximize resource utilization and, at the same time, provide satisfying performance to all users, application layer knowledge is needed. As different resource allocation and adaptation mechanisms already exist in MAC, transport and application layer, an integral consideration of the problem space is required. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. Because large over-provisioning factors are economically unfeasibly, similar questions on capacity sharing also arise in fixed access networks, such as high bandwidth passive optical networks or cable networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders of mobile and fixed access networks, the classic Internet world and of the application and transport community. We solicit presentations on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We are especially looking forward to (possibly provocative) visionary presentations to foster a lively discussion about how to face the upcoming challenges in the future mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Related standardization activities and projects Submission Information ---------------------- Please inform the workshop organizers by email to CapacitySharingWS(a)ikr.uni-stuttgart.de about title and abstract (max. 1 page) of your planned presentation. The number of slots is limited. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for contributions is July 15, 2011. Registration to the workshop is open until September 15, 2011. The workshop takes place in Stuttgart on Thursday, October 13, 2011.

Without the introduction of alternative solutions to reduce the cost of conventional systems such as hospitalization and specialized institutions, the system will most likely collapse. For a long time, information and communications technologies (ICT) have been recognized as part of the solution to create new cost-effective solutions to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, the Ubiquitous (U) Health Smart Home, a home equipped with ICT to support people directly in their home, has been identified by governments and medical institutions, as an important step towards financial savings, as well as a technologically and socially acceptable solution to maintain the current health welfare system. ____ The aim of the Ubiquitous Health smart home is to allow elderly and disabled persons to continue to live a more independent life as long as possible in their own home while receiving the required medical and safety assistance. Doctors and other Healthcare providers can continuously access their health status or situation to detect as early as possible through a flexible remote access any anomaly so they can immediately intervene. With the help of the U-Health smart home, doctors, nurses and other health-related personnel do not need being physically close to the patients and reversely reducing therefore the load on hospitals and specialized institutions while ensuring the safety of the patients.____ While this concept had some difficulties to be fully realized, in recent years, tremendous advances in low-power electronics, nano/bio sensor technologies along with development of wired and wireless network technologies are facilitating the development of such solutions which are more and more requested by our societies. These advances have led to the development of small-sized wireless medical and environmental sensors that are capable of very efficiently monitoring physiological parameters of humans as well at the living environment. Further, advances in sensing and communication technologies, along with advances software engineering, make it possible today to build homes where healthcare providers could deploy novel health and safety applications. These solutions not only will improve the well-being and quality of health of people in their own home but could also benefit other places where the same technologies can be deployed such as smart spaces and smart hospitals.____ This special issue aims to gather the latest results in this area of Ubiquitous Healthcare Smarthome, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and evaluation of supporting design, hardware, software, algorithms, protocols and applications. Practical experiences, extensive experimentation, and lessons learned from deployment of real prototype systems, along with field trials, are welcome. In addition, original disruptive proposals and groundbreaking ideas appropriately written for the large readership of this magazine are highly encouraged. In summary, we are soliciting high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design, prototyping and deployment.____ The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:____ __· __Sensing of Vital Signs and Signatures ____ __· __Wearable Medical Wireless Sensors, ____ __· __Energy Saving for Long Time Monitoring____ __· __Software Architectures (Agent, SOA, Middleware, etc.) ____ __· __UHealth Smart home Network Infrastructure and Gateway____ __· __Modeling Ubiquitous Healthcare Smart home Environment ____ __· __Physiological Models for Interpreting Medical Sensor Data ____ __· __User Modeling and Personalization ____ __· __Autonomic Diagnosis and Situation Awareness (Fall, Activity, etc.)____ __· __Context Awareness and Autonomous Computing to Support Independent Living____ __· __Home based Health and wellness Measurement and Monitoring____ __· __Home based Health Monitoring and Intervention. ____ __· __Smart Home Applications and Services____ __· __Security, Trust and Privacy ____ __· __Legal and Regulatory Issues ____ __· __Usability and Acceptability ____ __· __Business Models for UHealth Smart homes____ __ __ *Submissions Guidelines* This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues.

This results in a new paradigm on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications towards the Future Internet of Things (IoT). M2M communications offer a potential solution to the already saturated telecommunications market, with new services and applications, such as smart city, smart grid, intelligent transportation, e-healthcare, remote monitoring, and logistics. Such services and applications open a mass market and several business opportunities, whilst transforming the way communication systems are defined and operate. This requires development of novel solutions to efficiently serve a huge number of devices that interact autonomously at a global level. It also opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, cost-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, and security. Main Topics of Interest This workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers and practitioners both from academia and industry (universities, research centers, network operators, regulatory bodies, service providers), as well as end users, to present and debate advanced M2M communication systems, technologies, and applications, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, and IETF. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following topics related to M2M communication: - Scalable system architecture and components - Radio access technologies and protocols - Spectrum management for M2M - Resource management for energy-harvesting devices - Channel and traffic models - Internetworking protocols and mechanisms - Cloud support for M2M applications - Device management for M2M - Data and service management for M2M - Semantic technologies for M2M - Mobility management for M2M - Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Important Dates Paper Submission: 7 July 2011 Acceptance Notification: 15 August 2011 Camera-Ready: 31 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9 December 2011 Author Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. SCOPE ===== Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: - Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management - Quality of services (QoS) delivery - Seamless Mobility - Robust and scalable routing protocols - MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover - Self-configuration and synchronization - Security - Topology control and management - Mobility models and location management - Cross-layer design and interactions - Cohabitation of wireless protocols - Software-defined radios - Modeling and performance evaluation - Algorithms for localization and signal processing - Implementation testbeds - Operating systems and middleware - Energy-efficient protocols PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION _____________________________________________ All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted).

Indeed, autonomous applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have rapidly expanded from classical ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the control of a given system in a centralized manner Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future networks within the so-called sky of clouds and Internet of things. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Smart communications for Cloud Computing and Internet of things - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks - Virtual networks and distributed Agent Platform - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, and relevance to the workshop.

Santi Phithakkitnukoon <santi(a)mit.edu> schrieb: CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Social Connections in the Urban Space 2011 (SocialUrb-2011) in conjunction with IEEE SOCIALCOM 2011, MIT, USA, October 9-11, 2011 http://di.ncl.ac.uk/socialurb2011/ Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: 1 July 2011 Author Notification: 12 August 2011 Final Manuscript: 22 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9-11 October 2011 Background and Motivation ------------------------- Significant amounts of data are collected in the urban space we move and live in. Most of this data is gathered by governmental and defence agencies. Satellites are used to capture movement and transport while 'dataveillance' captures people's use of credit card, mobile phone, and loyalty card information. CCTVs are also ubiquitous. More recently, applications to gather data using people's mobile phones as a sensor in the urban space have appeared and contribute to this pool of urban data. This unprecedented bottom-up approach achieves collaborative collection of large quantities of data. 'Participatory Urbanism' sees a shift in mobile device usage - from communication tool to networked mobile personal measurement instrument. Through this, individual citizens can become more proactive in their involvement with their city, neighborhood, and urban self-reflexivity. Given this growing pool of data of the urban space, there is a question on how the data can be used fruitfully and sensibly to better understand sociality and to inform future planning of our urban environment. Objectives ---------- This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and explore research challenges and opportunities in social computing in urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban social life and exploit the sensory data as well as digital traces (e.g. mobile phone data, online social network data, transportation traces) to create novel urban social applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. The SocialUrb-2011 Workshop fosters discussions covering topics such as (but not limited to): * Analysis of social networks in urban spaces * Social computing applications for urban planning and design * Social sensing methodology * Computational social study of urban spaces * Mining of data collected from urban social networks * Urban social geography * Multi-source urban social information integration * Real-time urban social information processing * Case studies and applications of mixed urban social sensing and mining * Middleware for mobile urban social computing * City-related knowledge infrastructure and computational models * Urban social application demos and visualizations * Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban social computing * Impact of social computing technologies in the urban space e.g. economical, psychological. Submission ---------- Submission must be in IEEE conference paper style with no more than 6 pages in PDF file (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submit your paper(s) at the SocialUrb-2011 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=socialurb2011). All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation by the Technical Program Committee. Should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work in order for the paper to be published by IEEE and included in the IEEE Digital Library.

Fwd: [Tccc] Workshop in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Public Safety Systems

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Workshop in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Public Safety Systems Datum: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:23:31 +0200 Von: Daniel Camara <Daniel.Camara(a)eurecom.fr> Organisation: Eurecom An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks for Public Safety Systems (WMAPS'2011) Co-located with IEEE MASS 2011 The 8th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems October 21, 2011 Valencia, Spain http://www.hnps.eu/mass2011.html Scope: Public Safety Networks (PSNs) are the communications networks that are established by the relevant authorities to either prepare the population for an imminent catastrophe, or to support communication during the actual crisis and post crisis normalisation phases. These PSNs have special requirements, when compared to regular networks. The main concerns in establishing public safety networks are their facility to be deployed rapidly and their survivability. Other important characteristics of this kind of network is that their requirements may change radically, depending on the nature of the particular disaster. These networks are always mission critical and once deployed, PSNs have to be reliable since lives may depend on them. Recent global disasters have dramatically demonstrated that network structures can be severely affected, either directly by the disaster itself (where the existing infrastructure is damaged or destroyed) or by the following public reaction (overloaded networks caused by the need to communicate with friends and family). “Historically, major disasters are the most intense generators of telecommunications traffic”. For these reasons, the regular public networks alone are often not enough to support rescue and relief operations on their own. In addition to the stated problems of equipment failures and lack of connectivity, it must be understood that various different communication technologies are currently used for public safety communication, and it is common to find that each first responder group favours their own preferred technology. For example, TETRA, Analogue Radio Networks or GSM are used for voice communication, while data transmission for localisation, sensor information transfer and video streaming are currently not widely used in public safety. Local public safety agencies also have to communicate more and more with complimentary agencies such as other first responders, law enforcement groups, hospitals and even military authorities. As a direct consequence of the differing technologies in use at the same time PSNs are often not interoperable, which may represent a problem in the case of a catastrophe. Unfortunately existing communications networks are not always reliable during incidents or dangerous interventions. The deployment of new, ad hoc, dedicated, networks for Public Safety has been a long held dream, but technical, cost and management concerns create real problems. Finally, the scope of possible sensor use in PSNs is broad; it can include intrusion detection, where one can use different types of sensors to recognise potential hazard situations (e.g. by means of the detection and tracking of abnormal behaviours using Computer Vision-based techniques), to the integration of different technologies used by the intervention teams in the advent of a catastrophe. Sensors can also be used during and after incidents to measure the physical environment and report from a distance in areas that are too dangerous for direct human monitoring. Topics: Specific topics include, but are not limited to the ones listed below: - Ad hoc communication for emergency management - Sensor networks for Public safety networks - Usability issues for intervention teams - Intrusion detection - Heterogeneous networks integration - Mobility patterns for catastrophe scenarios - Network security for Public safety networks - Cooperative networks in Public Safety - Self-awareness , QoS and Adaptivity - Related demos and field trials Paper Submission Guidelines: Please follow the instruction of MASS conference (http://mass2011.upv.es/) Please follow this link to submit your papers: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10943 Proposals for demos should be at most 2 pages, and will not figure in the conference proceedings.

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. > Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. > There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. > > Scope of the submission > We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. > > - Architectural framework of personalized networks > - Personalized network applications > - Personal communications in the next generation Internet > - Personalized networks for rural areas > - Context awareness > - Internet of (your) things technologies > - Resource, service and context discovery > - Self-organization and adaptation > - Addressing and routing > - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks > - Mobility of personalized networks > - Personalization of virtual resources > - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks > - Security, privacy and anonymity > - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use > - Dependability > - Application-driven communication substrates > - Personalized networks for group oriented networking > - New QoS concepts in personalized networks > - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices > - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources > - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks > - P2P paradigm in personalized networks > - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued > > Why should you participate in this workshop? > Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. > > Submission Instructions > 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. > Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier : Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Healthcare Call for Paper Datum: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:28:56 +0800 Von: Chen, Jie (ELS-BEI) <J.Chen(a)elsevier.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for = Papers Journal of = Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special = Issue on Pervasive = Healthcare Pervasive = Healthcare is currently one of the hottest research topics in the area of pervasive = and mobile computing focusing on the integration and cooperation of two = fundamental disciplines (Information and Communication Technologies and Medical = Sciences) that have a great impact on the current society. One of the main purposes of this research field consists in the design and development of = information systems able to support medical professionals both improving = patients' Quality of Life and reducing medical errors and hospitalization costs. Continuous remote monitoring of patient's physiological state and activity patterns, tracking of individual's health-related = activities, smart management of medical records and care professionals activities = are just some examples of system features. To allow = this, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary, both in terms of cooperation = among ICT and medical experts to correctly address patients and doctors = requirements with new technological solutions, and inside the ICT community, to better = integrate research efforts derived from different areas, from wearable and ubiquitous technologies to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, activity = recognition, Artificial Intelligence, expert systems, databases and Human Computer Interaction. The proposed solutions must also contend with the resource limitations associated with commercial devices (e.g., energy = consumption), communication infrastructures, and security and privacy issues related = to critical and highly sensitive information. In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting original research results on topics that include, but are not limited = to: · Wearable and implantable sensors for healthcare · Wireless communications in healthcare · Activity and context recognition for healthcare applications · Service and device discovery · Data fusion and context elaboration · Privacy and security issues in healthcare · Middleware for e-Health · Energy efficiency in health monitoring · Artificial intelligence and expert systems · Human computer interaction, usability and acceptability of e-Health = systems · Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare · Power management and energy-efficient design in wireless body area = networks · System architecture and networking protocols for e-health systems · Medical data analysis, measurements and management · Modeling and performance evaluation · Standards and frameworks A key criterion in the evaluation of papers will be the relevance of the = work for healthcare applications with a preference for work that includes = empirical evaluation in actual healthcare domains. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors = as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Please make sure to choose "SI: Pervasive Healthcare" from = the pull-down menu during the submission process. Manuscripts must not = have been previously published or currently under consideration for = publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in = a conference or workshop, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements (with at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a = summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal = version. Important Dates: Paper submission: July 29, = 2011 Reviews and decision: mid to late December 2011 (includes two rounds of = reviews) Submission of accepted manuscripts: = end of January 2012 Special issue: Late spring or summer = 2012 Guest Editors of Special = Issue Diane Cook, Washington State University, = USA, cook(a)eecs.wsu.edu Franca Delmastro, National = Research Council of Italy (CNR), Italy, franca.delmastro(a)iit.cnr.it Paul Lukowicz, University = of Passau, Germany, Paul.lukowicz(a)uni-passau.de Marjorie Skubic, University = of Missouri, USA, skubicm(a)missouri.edu [3D"cid:image001.jpg@01CC30F9.5CDCB5A0"]
