TCS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE: As in previous years, selected high-quality papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal. SCOPE AND TOPICS: Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts, especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for abstract modeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computing and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges of great practical impact. ALGOSENSORS aims to bring together research contributions related to diverse algorithmic and complexity theoretic aspects of wireless sensor networks. Starting from 2011, ALGOSENSORS broadens its thematic scope, keeping its focus on sensor networks, but also including other related types of ad hoc wireless networks, such as mobile networks, radio networks and distributed systems of robots. Contributions solicited cover the algorithmic issues in a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - Wireless Network Models - Virtual Infrastructures - Data Propagation and Routing - Multicast and Broadcast - Obstacle Avoidance - Infrastructure Discovery - Ad-hoc Deployment/Topology Control - Fault Tolerance and Dependability - Multi-hop Throughput Optimization - Scheduling and Load Balancing - Energy Management and Power Saving Schemes - Dynamic Networks - Adaptiveness and Self-organization - Resource-efficient Distributed Computing - Communication Protocols - Medium Access Control - Localization and Location Tracking - Mobile Robotic Systems and Autonomous Agents - Game Theoretic Aspects - Cryptography, Security and Trust HOW TO SUBMIT: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original research in the topics related to the Symposium. The Track the paper is submitted to should be clearly identified at the front page. Authors should select a Track based on the type of network that is studied in the paper or for which the results in the paper are most relevant. The Program Committee reserves the right to move papers between Tracks in order to ensure a fair evaluation. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is not allowed. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages of text using at least 11 point size type, including references, figures, tables, etc., preferably formatted in the LNCS style. Additional material may be added in a clearly marked Appendix to be read at the discretion of the Program Committee Members. Authors must submit their papers electronically via the website: http://www.algosensors.org/algosensors11/submission.php. All papers will be peer reviewed, and comments will be provided to the authors.

xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> schrieb: Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

More powerful devices and lower cost radio technologies are facilitating the transition to the Mobile Internet where users can access through different devices and access technologies a diverse range of services and applications anytime, anywhere. However, the huge increase in demand that this brings cannot easily be met by current radio access systems. Hence, there is a need for more powerful, more efficient, higher speed, lower cost radio technologies and architectures for Broadband Wireless Access.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks SI Datum: Thu, 19 May 2011 09:16:56 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks special issue of EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Call for Papers One of the most researched directions in modern automotive industry is the design, development, and deployment of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that aim to improve road safety (including collision avoidance, traffic congestion information, and detection of, as well as alerting to, road conditions) whilst providing ample opportunities for commercial applications such as communication and mobile infotainment. Successful and widespread usage of VANETs necessitates the development of novel technologies that satisfy the requirements for high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving communications, both between vehicles and roadside units and amongst vehicles themselves, and thus presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. This is the main reason why VANETs are a very active area of research, development, standardization, and field trials throughout the world, in academia, industry, and government alike. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the e-Safety framework of the European Union, the IntelliDrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System), and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, and others. Standardization efforts include ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe, and ARIB T-75 in Japan. We propose this special issue that will solicit high-quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout the world, presenting the new and exciting research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks and vehicular internetworking. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Channel modeling Modulation and coding Power control and scalability issues Medium access control protocols Multiple access techniques for VANETs Multichannel organization and operation Communication protocol design Safety, efficiency, and commercial applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/internet communication Simulation frameworks Field operational testing Test methodologies Impact assessment Network management Security issues and countermeasures Privacy issues All submissions must describe original research results and must not be published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Wed, 18 May 2011 16:53:09 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Posted on behalf of Yung Yi, and please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication, networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient. Scope Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia communication Manuscript Submission IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/. Please submit manuscripts via the ManuscriptCentral website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee (the entry name: Special Issue: Energy Efficient Multimedia Communication) Important Dates Manuscript due: September 30, 2011 Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2012 Publication date: Q2, 2012 Guest Editors J.J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MMFN 2011 (WPMC) DEADLINE EXTENSION (24 May) Datum: Sun, 15 May 2011 21:29:39 +0200 Von: <philippe.bertin(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers MMFN 2011 International Workshop on Mobility Management for Flat Networks 6 October 2011 (date to be confirmed) In conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication - WPMC 2011 www.wpmc2011.org 3-6 October, 2011 Brest, France Technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, IEEE Section France and SEE CFP available on http://www.wpmc2011.org/Call_for_papers_MMFN_2011-591-0-0-0.html GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP ---------------------- Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on the move while communicating. Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network schemes. In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP addresses used for end-to-end communications. In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in the 3GPP. The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management schemes in flat networks. WORKSHOP THEME -------------- Original papers describing both theoretical and experimental results within the scope of Flat Networks Mobility Management are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Mobility management in flat networks * Distributed and dynamic mobility support * Paging and idle mode management in distributed and dynamic mobility schemes * Fully vs partially distributed mobility architectures * Scalability issues in current hierarchical/centralised mobility schemes * End-host vs Network mobility management * Distributed Mobility Management in LTE/EPC networks * Mobility management at transport or application layers * Data mobile usages analysis and forecast * Security and traceability concerns introduced by distributed mobility schemes * Identification and location management in distributed mobility approaches * Content networking in distributed mobile networks * Cloud networking in distributed mobile networks * Resource management in heterogeneous distributed mobility schemes * Flat and heterogeneous networks topologies * Energy efficiency of distributed mobility schemes PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers in English (maximum 5 pages) electronically in PDF format through the EDAS system. For all submissions, please use the templates available on the WPMC 2011 website (www.wpmc2011.org).

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011) Datum: Sat, 14 May 2011 12:52:35 +0200 Von: Stefan Dulman - EWI <S.O.Dulman(a)tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011) October 3, 2011, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA http://scw11.spatial-computing.org/ Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many self-organizing or self-adaptive systems are "spatial computers" - collections of local computational devices distributed through a physical space, in which: - the difficulty of moving information between any two devices is strongly dependent on the distance between them, and - the "functional goals" of the system are generally defined in terms of the system's spatial structure. Systems that can be viewed as spatial computers are abundant, both natural and man-made. For example, in wireless sensor networks and animal or robot swarms, inter-agent communication network topologies are determined by the distance between devices, while the agent collectives as a whole solve spatially-defined problems like "analyze and react to spatial temperature variance" or "surround and destroy an enemy." Similarly, in reconfigurable microchip platforms, moving data between adjacent logic blocks is much faster than moving it across the chip, which in turn favors problems with spatial structure like stream processing. In biological embryos, each developing cell's behavior is controlled only by its local chemical and physical environment, but the eventual structure of the organism is a global property of the cellular arrangement. Moreover, a variety of successful established techniques for self-organization and self-adaptation arise from explicitly spatial metaphors, e.g., self-healing gradients. On the other hand, not all spatially distributed systems are spatial computers. The Internet and peer-to-peer overlay networks may not in general best be considered as spatial computers, both because their communication graphs have little relation to the Euclidean geometry in which the participating devices are embedded, and because most applications for them are explicitly defined independent of network structure. Spatial computers, in contrast, tend to have more structure, with specific constraints and capabilities that can be used in the design and analysis of algorithms. The goal of this workshop is to explicitly identify the idea of "spatial computing" as a theme in self-organizing and self-adaptive systems, and further to develop the study of spatial computation as a subject in its own right. We believe that progress towards identifying common principles, techniques, and research directions - and consolidating the substantial progress that is already being made - will benefit all of the fields in which spatial computing takes place. And, as the impact of spatial computing is recognized in many areas, we hope to set up frameworks to ensure portability and cross-fertilization between solutions in the various domains. Submission, Format and Proceedings -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are soliciting submissions on any aspect of spatial computing. Examples of topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: - Languages for programming spatial computers and describing spatial tasks and patterns - Methods for compiling global programs to local rules that produce the desired global effect - Characterization of spatial self-organization phenomena as algorithmic building blocks - Characterization of error in spatial computers (e.g., error from approximating continuous space with networks of devices) - Analysis of tradeoffs between system parameters (e.g., communication radius vs. device memory consumption) - Studies of the relationship between time, propagation of information through the spatial computer, and computational complexity - Application of spatial computing principles to novel areas, or generalization of area-specific techniques - Device motion in spatial computing algorithms (e.g. the relationship between robot speed and gradient accuracy in multi-robot swarms) We encourage authors to submit papers in one of two formats: 1. Papers that develop "unifying" principles or techniques in spatial computing - these papers should be suitable in format and quality for a conference track, but avoid incrementalism. 2. Papers that demonstrate how a technique or problem from a specific area of application can usefully be generalized - these papers should be a combination of review paper and position paper, presenting the material from one area in a form comprehensible to researchers of another area, as well as a coherent technical argument generalizing the material to other areas. Although our interests are broad, we discourage authors from submitting reviews of particular application areas unless the paper explicitly connects the material to the larger technical issues of spatial computing. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages in standard IEEE two-column format. All manuscripts should be submitted in PDF form to scw11(a)spatial-computing.org. Please direct all questions to scw11(a)spatial-computing.org. Workshop proceedings will be published and archived by the IEEE.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Fri, 13 May 2011 16:54:52 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung-Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =============================================== Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =============================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: · Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks · Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks · Resource management for machine and robotic networks · Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing · Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks · Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks · Cognitive machine and robotic networks · Bio-inspired networking in robotics · Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots · Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEE Network, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

(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 MoCS’11 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 MoCS’11, 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.

Overview ======== Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments.

The variety of access technologies offer users a great deal of flexibility to connect to the Internet. Multi-homing and mobility are becoming the focal point in protocol design. Mobility support allows users to be constantly connected, even when they are on the go. Multi-homing utilizes resources from the available interfaces in an efficient manner. Depending on the access technology associated with each interface, a mobile host can be connected to the Internet by an infrastructure network or through an ad-hoc network. Many protocols have been proposed for mobility and multi-homing support. Mobile IP, vertical handover and cross-layer design are mainly proposed for mobility in infrastructure-based networks. Multipath TCP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Multiple Care-of-Address registration, Level 3 Multi-homing Shim Protocol for IPv6 are solutions for multi-homing. Routing protocols are the major means to provide mobility in ad-hoc networks. In designing protocols for the future Internet, we will need to take into account not only mobility and multi-homing requirements, but also their potential impact on quality of service, resiliency and security of the communications. The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working on multi-homing and/or mobility for the future Internet to present scientific results, exchange experiences and highlight future directions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TPDS Special Issue on Cyber-Physcial Systems Datum: Wed, 4 May 2011 12:35:15 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

A challenge for researchers is ensuring their output is relevant to practitioners, and can thus lead to the improved resilience of current and future network deployments. This is difficult for several reasons: the challenges of acquiring useful detailed information regarding network outages; the difficulties of wide-scale experimentation with network disruptions such as attacks; the general lack of transparency regarding the challenges faced by network operators and the processes used to mitigate them; and the difficulty of modelling the complex manner in which socio-technical networked systems fail. This workshop aims to bring together practitioners at the frontline of providing resilient network infrastructures with the research community in order to engage in a dialogue that can steer future resilience research in directions that will meet the resilience problems of current and future networks. In line with this goal, this workshop will feature a hybrid approach of individual presentations, combined with interactive sessions intended to stimulate active exchange and collaboration between the communities. The major areas of interest pertain to all stages of resilient networks' design and operation, and include, but are not limited to, the following: * Resilient network design, current practice and research proposals * Composition/correlatio of network resilience metrics across the protocol stack * Approaches to carrying out large-scale disruptive resilience experiments, and results from these * Analysis of network outages that provide insights regarding the efficacy of resilience approaches * Empirical approaches to specifying desired levels of network resilience * Service level agreements and their mapping on fault management procedures * Risk assessment approaches to inform resilience decision making * The role of the human operator in the operation of resilient autonomic systems * Understanding the complexities of resilience incidents, such as cascading effects * Cross-disciplinary aspects, including the economic and legal frameworks for providing network resilience * Measurement approaches and metrics for assessing resilience in practical deployments * Anticipated resilience problems caused by future Internet service provisioning platforms * Techniques for enhancing existing networks with resilience capabilities Organising Committee: * Christian Doerr, Technical University Delft, Netherlands * Merkouris Karaliopoulos, University of Athens, Greece * Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden * Marcus Schöller, NEC Laboratories Europe, Germany * Paul Smith, Lancaster University, UK Important Dates and Deadlines: * Paper Submission: June 10, 2011 * Author Notification: June 30, 2011 * Camera Ready: July 15, 2011 * Workshop Date: October 4, 2011 Submission Guidelines: Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Regular papers must be no longer than 6 pages, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. The font size must be no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US “Letter”-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and the accepted papers will be included in a Workshop Proceedings distributed at the Symposium. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Call for contributions: 1st RAWSNETS Workshop @ AVSS-2011 Datum: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 23:35:57 +0200 Von: Dr. Christian Micheloni <christian.micheloni(a)uniud.it> Antwort an: admmyc(a)gmail.com An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br **Please accept our apologies for multiple copies ========================================================================================= 1st Workshop on Resources AWare Sensor and surveillance NETworkS (RAWSNETS) August 30, Klagenfurt, Austria Associated with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance Klagenfurt University August 30 – September 2, 2011 Call for Contribution and Participation ========================================================================================= In the real applications domain, monitoring technology has to cope with different constraints that open to interesting research topics. In particular in context of sensor networks three main resources present strong limitations: a)Communication, b) Computational Power and c) Power Consumption. All these limitations become more evident with the increase of the number of sensors deployed by the network. These limitations require a sort of awareness of the system that can take measures to adapt its performance or operability in order to adhere to the constraints. In the context of video sensor networks, the bandwidth limitation strongly upper-bounds the amount of data that each node/camera can share through the network. Hence distributed and hierarchic models have gained major interest against centric models. Anyhow, distributed knowledge still require information sharing for consensus policies. Information sharing requires information extraction that hence has to be handled as close as possible to the data acquisition. This foresees smart sensors able to perform as many as possible analysis of the data. Currently this is bound by the computational power available on-board of embedded platforms. Limited computational power implies to work on simpler data (low resolution images, low frame rate, etc.) or to adapt the quality of the data as consequence of its content (event or not). On top of that, the mobility of the sensor networks (ad hoc deployments, moving sensors, etc.) introduces the third limitation that is represented by the power consumption. Power, in these networks, is not unlimited, it is a paramount resource. Saving power means sustain the operability of the network. Properly switching on and off the sensors allows to save power. Switching on and off policies are fundamental and should be based on the assessment of the sensor importance at each time instant. It is clear that methods to control the analysis parameters of the sensor network together with algorithms able to manage the network in terms of communication, computational power and consumption are key research areas for future resource aware sensor networks. Paper Submission ========================================================================================= The workshop aims to present the latest achievements and future developments in the field of resource aware sensor network. The workshop will be organized as a round table where all the participants can interact in an active manner. A keynote speaker will be individuated to give wide introduction about the research field and propose different discussion topics. Around the keynote speech, participants will be asked to contribute to the discussion. Participation requires to submit an extended abstract (about 1000-2000 words) of current research in the resource aware sensor networks field. Accepted contributors will be asked to give an interactive presentation in order to give a full coverage of the topics.

Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier : COMCOM Call for Paper Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier : COMCOM Call for Paper Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 16:31:22 +0800 Von: Chen, Jie (ELS-BEI) <J.Chen(a)elsevier.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers 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. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentat Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Research demonstrations should present innovative research prototypes that show new research related to the topics included in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. What and Where to Submit Please submit a three-page abstract to https://sigcomm2011posters.cs.wisc.edu. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Content: The abstract should include: • Goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports • Any related publications or technical reports • Equipment to be used for the demo (Note that we provide only the space and wireless Internet access.) • Space needed • Setup time required • Additional facilities needed, including power and Internet access requirements • A URL with any extra information, if needed • Whether the demo is eligible for the student travel grant; if applicable, please identify the lead student(s) and affiliation(s) • Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Accepted demos will be expected to contribute a two-page abstract for the conference proceedings or archive. Obviously, this will not include details about setup time and equipment, but should instead focus on the idea and include screenshots or other images from the live demonstration as needed. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt Times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. The SIGCOMM 2011 Poster and Demo committee will review all demo proposals. Top few demos may be invited for publication as extended abstracts at ACM SIGCOMM's newsletter, the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Important dates Submission Deadline May 16, 2011 (11:59 PDT) Acceptance Notification June 5, 2011 Camera Ready Deadline June 15, 2011 Poster and Demo Committee Poster/Demo Co-Chairs Aditya Akella University of Wisconsin--Madison, USA Lili Qiu University of Texas at Austin, USA Committee Members Fabian Bustamante Northwestern University, USA Nick Feamster Georgia Tech, USA Rodrigo Fonseca Brown University, USA Saikat Guha Microsoft Research, India Sue Moon KAIST, Korea Sneha Kumar Kasera University of Utah, USA Li Erran Li Bell Labs, USA David Oran Cisco, USA Vyas Sekar Intel Labs at Berkeley, USA Neil Spring University of Maryland, USA Lakshminarayanan Subramanian New York University, USA Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia, China Jia Wang Purdue University, USA Xiaowei Yang Duke University, USA _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2011: Call for Posters
by Lars Wolf 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2011: Call for Posters Datum: Sun, 24 Apr 2011 10:53:08 -0400 Von: Nicolas Christin <nicolasc(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM 2011 - Call for Posters [Note updated deadline -- less than a month ago] The SIGCOMM poster session showcases works-in-progress. The setting is informal. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2011 Poster and Demo committee will review all demo proposals. At the conference, a student must present student posters. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2011 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Student Research Competition The SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2011, below), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to coauthor the poster. (Please contact the poster chairs if this restriction represents a hardship.) Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions. (Students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates.) A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants: please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. Why Should You Submit a Poster? This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present. What and Where to Submit Please submit a two-page abstract on the work to https://sigcomm2011posters.cs.wisc.edu. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Content: The abstract should clearly state: • the problem being addressed; • what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; • your approach to the problem; • the key contribution In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.
