Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)HOFSTRA.EDU> Antwort an: Habib M. Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)HOFSTRA.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILEdedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiComconference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at /http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/. ** * * *PAPERS: *Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSIprotocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbeddesign and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. ** *CHALLENGES PAPERS: *The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiComprogram committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiComproceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." ** * * *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must /(i) /be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), /(ii) /be in font size no smaller than 10 points, /(iii) /have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and /(iv) /fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the Mobicom2011 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file.

PWSN 2011 Call For Papers
by Lars Wolf 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2011 3rd International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2011/ June 29 2011, Casa ConvalescÃšncia, Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '11) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to t he lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers (Deadline Extended, March 8)
by Mario Fanelli 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 ** Papers of particular merit will be invited to be extended and submitted for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS). ** C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to 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). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several 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 boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services 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 ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * 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. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE SenseApp 2011 (Bonn, Germany in October 2011) Datum: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 21:32:59 +1100 Von: Salil Kanhere <salilk(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple postings __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2011 SIXTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2011) Bonn, Germany 4 - 7 October 2011 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. 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.

Datum: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:51:18 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)CS.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Dear colleagues, Below please find the call for papers for The 6th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2011): http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 18, 2011, 11:59 PM EST (deadline extended!) Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2011 Camera Ready Due: April 24, 2011 Technical Area With recent advances in technologies for wireless access (e.g., WiFi, 3G, and 4G) and mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), mobility has become a fundamental characteristic of today's Internet. Yet, basic architectural issues related to mobility such as efficient mobility management, the locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, and various operational, deployment concerns are still in their early stages of exploration. Moreover, the Internet architecture itself, its end-to-end principles, and business models require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as seamless and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies such as those in the 60 GHz and whitespace bands may pose additional challenges since they may introduce design principles different from the packet-switched Internet. MobiArch 2011 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. We encourage submission of both work-in-progress and position papers. The workshop will address all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including: • Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on Internet architecture. • Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in the link, network, and transport layers, to the application layer and cross-layer design. • Architectures and protocols for service partitioning, code offloading, and data center management to support mobile devices in the compute cloud. • Location management, robustness, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues. • Security, dependability, and privacy issues in mobility networks, and their impacts on Internet architecture. • Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in remote areas and developing countries. • Performance issues with mobility in the Internet. • QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts on Internet architecture. • Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices). • Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design. Paper format and submission instructions Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. Paper submission will be handled via HotCRP (http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/hotcrp). Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers (Deadline Extended, March 8)
by Mario Fanelli 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to 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). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several 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 boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services 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 ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * 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. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices, equipped with multiple sensors, can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In these systems, it is of critical importance to properly resolve the complex interactions between various computational and physical elements. This special issue aims to identify emerging research topics in CPS from the mobile communication and networking perspective. In particular, by properly addressing complex interactions between cyber and physical elements of CPS, we focus on challenging issues in networking that need to be resolved for deriving eventual working solutions for CPS. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: *Theoretical foundations of CPS *Modeling, analysis, and simulation of CPS *Architectures for CPS *Emerging CPS applications *Empirical case studies for CPS *Security and privacy in CPS *Energy-efficient design of CPS Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: March 21, 2011 Author notification: June 15, 2011 Revised paper due: August 15, 2011 Final author notification: September 30, 2011 Guest Editors Prof. Kyung-Joon Park DGIST, Daegu, Republic of Korea E-mail: kjp(a)dgist.ac.kr Prof. Xue Liu University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska, USA E-mail: xueliu(a)cse.unl.edu Prof. Rong Zheng University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA E-mail: rzheng(a)uh.edu 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: Cyber-Physical Systems” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or WiFi as well as long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g., real-time traffic congestion and routing information), and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The ACM VANET 2011 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics, which are related to vehicular networking applications, services, and systems. Beyond systems that are integrated into vehicles, the workshop scope includes, e.g., vehicle- or traffic-related smartphone applications. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such as the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from USDOT projects, and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Furthermore, vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like ISO TC204, IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), and SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the large-scale Safety Pilot in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE-F in France. The Eighth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking (ACM VANET 2011) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, liability issues, standardizations efforts, and spectrum assignment. - Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Electric vehicle applications - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - "Reduced functionalities" DSRC systems for pedestrians, road workers, etc. - Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps Organizing Committee -------------------------------- General Co-Chairs: John Kenney, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnològic, Spain Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Publicity/Website Chair: Jason Haas, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Please contact the General Chair or Technical Program Co-Chairs for more information. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILEdedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiComconference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at /http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/. ** * * *PAPERS: *Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSIprotocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbeddesign and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. ** *CHALLENGES PAPERS: *The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiComprogram committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiComproceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." ** * * *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must /(i) /be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), /(ii) /be in font size no smaller than 10 points, /(iii) /have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and /(iv) /fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: 4th IEEE WiVEC 2011 || San Francisco - Sept. 5-6,2011 Datum: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 07:16:00 -0800 Von: Yaser P. Fallah <yaserpf(a)berkeley.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi-hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to identifying the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences Program Co-Chairs: - Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr), University of the Aegean, Greece - Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr), Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece - Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr), University of Piraeus, Greece Paper submission instructions: This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere.

CFC - Achieving Federated and Self-Manageable Cloud Infrastructures: Theory and Practice
by Mario Fanelli 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Achieving Federated and Self-Manageable Cloud Infrastructures: Theory and Practice http://mdslab.unime.it/fsci11/ Editors: Dr. Ivona Brandic, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Dr. Massimo Villari, University of Messina, Italy Francesco Tusa, University of Messina, Italy Call for Chapters: Proposals Submission Deadline: March 15, 2011 Full Chapters Due: July 15, 2011 Submission Date: November 15, 2011 Introduction Cloud Computing presents a promising approach for implementing scalable ICT systems for private and public, individual-, community- and business-use. Resources are pooled and offered on-demand with ubiquitous network access to rapidly configurable and elastic IT capabilities. Resources are delivered following three basic delivery models: provisioning of remote applications (SaaS), provisioning of remote platforms to create applications (PaaS), and provisioning of remote infrastructures for processing, storing, and networking (IaaS). The key benefits of providing computing power using Clouds are (a) avoidance of expensive computer systems configured to cope with peak performance; (b) pay-as-you-go solutions for computing cycles requested on-demand; and (c) avoidance of idle computing resources, resulting in novel business models. Gartner, Inc. has identified Cloud Computing as the most important strategic technology for the year 2010. Looking toward the near future, T. Bittman has hypothesized that it will evolve in three subsequent stages (Gartner Blog Network): Stage 1 Monolithic (now), where cloud services are based on independent proprietary architectures - islands of Cloud services delivered by mega-providers (this is what Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Microsoft look like today); Stage 2 Vertical Supply Chain, where Cloud providers will leverage Cloud services from other providers - the Clouds will be proprietary infrastructure yet, but the ecosystem building will start; Stage 3 Horizontal Federation, smaller, medium, and large cloud providers will federate themselves to gain economies of scale and an enlargement of their capabilities in order to build up services. Thus, the current development of the Cloud computing markets results in the gap between the mega-providers like Amazon, Google etc. which have monolithic infrastructures provided to the public use and Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Cloud providers which have to federate, in- or outsource their infrastructures, maybe combine on demand offers of different mega-providers and act as Cloud resellers providing guarantees not only on functional but also non functional properties of their services. The gap between the infrastructural development of Cloud mega providers and Cloud SMEs providers is reflected by the Cloud infrastructure developments in US and Europe. While US Cloud landscape is dominated by the mega scale providers like Amazon and Google, in Europe Cloud providers are generally Telcos developing their private Clouds and SMEs offering their Cloud infrastructures to specific user groups with specific needs (e.g. specific security infrastructures). Objective of the Book This book will overview current developments in Cloud computing concepts, architectures, infrastructures and methods, especially focusing on the needs of SMEs. On one hand, highly scalable infrastructures are required to comply with the varying load, software and hardware failures using Cloud federation scenarios. On the other hand autonomic management infrastructures are required to adapt, manage and utilize Cloud ecosystem in an efficient way. Cloud federation also allows to minimize the interaction among Cloud infrastructures, Cloud user and Cloud providers. Moreover, efficient market mechanisms are necessary where Cloud providers and consumers can advertise and sell their products. Thus, the contributions in this book should represent a triangle between the cloud federation, resource management and economic models (SLA management, business models) used to enforce the scale economy of the Cloud Computing infrastructures. Overview Our proposal mainly addresses the topic of Cloud computing at two levels: the first one introduces the fundamentals of Cloud Computing and its impact on the IT world; the second one, beginning from the previous concepts, provides an analysis of the main issues regarding the Cloud federation, autonomic resource management and efficient market mechanisms, while also supplying an overview of the existing solutions able to solve them. In order to federate different Clouds, in fact, several topics have to be taken into account: - The middleware that has to be employed: open source solutions, integration with proprietary systems. - Resource management for Cloud computing: discovering and match-making (i.e. to select the most suitable cloud which satisfy certain requirements). - Security and trust issues regarding data confidentiality and user authentication. - Cloud Interoperability and Inter-Cloud resource management: * Virtual resources migration; * Security management among different administrative domains; * SLA resource management among Cloud operators. In order to give an overview of current developments in the area of the autonomic resource management, chapters will cover following topics: - Cloud related monitoring and SLA management. - Knowledge management in Clouds. - Management of energy efficiency in Clouds. - Virtual resources management. The last part of the book will cover the novel market mechanisms as well es economic and business models for Clouds, including: - Theoretical developments of the Economic models. - Market mechanisms in Clouds. - Successful use cases of Cloud computing for economies of scale. - Business models and management. Target Audience Our publication is aimed at both enterprise business managers and research and academic audiences. Enterprise managers will gain knowledge about basic concepts in Cloud Computing, and become informed about Cloud federation issues and using distributed federated Clouds as an alternative to monolithic mega-providers. IT enterprise business managers will better understand how to migrate their own services on Cloud platforms in order to better optimize costs and resources usage, conceptualize new models of distributed federated Clouds instead on the monolithic one, and earn profit from a set of unused hardware resources building a federated Cloud. Researchers and academics will introduce new issues the Cloud computing as well as the main research topics related to Cloud federation. These frameworks will help researchers develop unique solutions and approaches. Potential Topics More specific recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Resources discovery (from the federated Clouds). - Match-making to find the Clouds which best fit the federation requirement. - AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting). - General Security issues: * Logging; * Auditing; * Data confidentiality; * Compliance. - Business management, SLA and billing. - Data storage and smart Virtual Environments allocation. - Resource location and naming. - Middlewares for implementing Clouds (mainly open-source solutions). - Autonomic Cloud management: * Cloud monitoring; * Cloud knowledge management; * Energy efficient Cloud computing; * Creation, Management and Deletion of Federation bindings. - Cloud markets: * Optimized management of human resources (maintenance costs, etc.); * Green computing and energy efficiency in large scale distributed systems; * Challenges but also opportunities for Cloud markets and economies; * Ability to satisfy more clients in a dynamic fashion. Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March 15, 2011, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 30, 2011, about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by July 15, 2011. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE NIME 2011 - Hawaii - Deadline Extension: March 7th, 2011 Datum: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 17:46:31 +0100 Von: cpalazzi(a)math.unipd.it An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Due to several requests, the submission deadline has been extended to March 7th, 2011. ================================ 7th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'11) Maui, Hawaii, July 31 - August 4, 2011 Co-Located with IEEE ICCCN Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society website - http://www.math.unipd.it/~cpalazzi/NIME11 THEME AND SCOPE The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Applications for Entertainment * Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games * Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session * Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) * Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment * Media and Device Adaptation * Music and Movie Distribution * Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) * Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment * QoS and Security Support for Entertainment * Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP) * Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment * TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Technologies for Entertainment * Agent-based Entertainment * Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality * Artificial Intelligence * Evolutionary Entertainment * Interactive Television and Theatre * Massive Multiplayer Games * Mobile and Wireless Entertainment * Networked Entertainment * Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling * Networked Video, Music and Sound Design * Pervasive Entertainment * Personalized and User-Adapted Television * Sport, News and Entertainment * Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment * Wearable Entertainment * Wireless and Mobile Gaming * Testbed and Performance Evaluation PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS as PDF files (formatted for letter (8.5x11-inch) paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts may not exceed 8 pages). Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). Submission format and instruction, as well as other important information, can be found on the author guide web page of the main conference (http://www.icccn.org/icccn11/author.html ). Paper Submission Process Papers have to be submitted to a track via EDAS http://edas.info//N10075. Note the following submission process: - An abstract must be registered for each paper by the abstract registration deadline. - There is no "general track". Each paper must be submitted to one specific track. Please check the list of tracks and topics to identify the most suitable track. If there is a concern about where to submit a paper, contact the workshop general co-chairs. Accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE ICCCN 2011 main conference proceedings as NIME'11 is considered part of ICCCN2011. The proceedings will be available through IEEE Xplore. Papers that are not presented at the workshop by one of the co-authors will not appear in IEEE Xplore. The paper title and author name list/order cannot be changed during the final camera-ready submission. All authors of a paper must be registered in the RIGHT order via EDAS at the SUBMISSION TIME and cannot be changed after the submission due time at EDAS. The final program will be generated from EDAS automatically.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Internet Measurement Conference 2011 Datum: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 04:08:32 +0100 Von: Renata.Teixeira(a)lip6.fr An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Internet Measurement Conference 2011 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS and in cooperation with USENIX November 2-4, 2011 Berlin, Germany http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The eleventh Internet Measurement Conference is a three day event focusing on all aspects of measurement-based research pertaining to today's Internet. Building on the success of past IMCs, we invite submissions of papers that contribute to our understanding of all aspects related to the Internet through the collection, analysis, or visualization of all types of network-related measurements. Examples of relevant topics are: * Internet traffic and topology measurement * Internet-oriented wireless, and mobility measurement * Internet performance measurements * Inter-domain and intra-domain routing * Measurement-based network management such as traffic engineering * Network applications such as multimedia streaming, gaming and on-line social networks * Measurement of sensing applications, including home networking and green networking * Measurements of content distribution, peer-to-peer, overlay, and social networks * Internet data-specific issues, including anonymization, querying, and storage * Measurement-based inference of network properties and structures * Design of and experiences with new monitoring systems * Algorithms for network measurements, including sampling and statistical inference methods * Network anomaly detection and troubleshooting * Software tools for analyzing and visualizing high-volume Internet- related datasets * Measurement related to network security and privacy * Measurement-based assessment of simulation/testbeds * Measurement-based modeling and workload generation * Reappraisal of previous measurement findings * Measurement related to data centers and the cloud * Measurement of technological and socio-economic aspects of networking * Relevant end-host and end-user measurements Papers that do not in some fashion relate to measuring aspects of the Internet or Internet-like systems are out of scope. Moreover, papers describing original ideas and novel validation methods will be given preference over submissions that report on incremental improvements of the existing state-of-the-art. Authors can contact the Program Co-Chairs for clarification if they are unsure whether their paper is in scope. Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all IMC authors. In particular, authors must be aware of and conform to acceptable use policies for individual domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information, and etiquette for using shared measurement data (see Allman and Paxson, IMC '07). If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criteria for all submissions and violations---including ambiguous situations not well described---will be grounds for rejection. Submission Guidelines --------------------- There are two forms of submissions: 1. Full papers (up to 14 two-column pages) describing original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. 2. Short papers (up to 6 two-column pages for text and figures + 1 page for references) conveying work that is less mature but shows promise, articulating a high-level vision, describing challenging future directions, critiquing current measurement wisdom or offering results that do not merit a full submission. Short papers will be subject to a 7-page limit in the Proceedings (with the last page for references only). Note: Previous IMCs have utilized a "reject to short" notion whereby full paper submissions have been accepted as short papers. IMC 2011 will not be using this procedure. Any submission longer than allowed by the above short guidelines will be considered a full paper. Note: Authors are encouraged to think carefully about whether to submit a full or short paper. In the past there have been many instances whereby a full submission has been found to be lacking enough technical contribution for a full paper, but for which the PC finds an interesting portion of the paper that would have been a very nice contribution as a short paper. Submissions must be in electronic form, as PDF documents. The submission must conform to the page limits stated above, and with text written in at least a 10-point font (Fonts used in Figures etc should be no smaller than 9 pt) satisfying the requirements specified below. * use double column format * the size of each column should be at most 9.25" by 3.33" * the space between columns should be at least 0.33" * use 10pt font * use up to 55 lines of text per column The http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2009/sig-alternate-10pt.cls style file should satisfy these requirements. Please use -t letter when converting the .dvi file to pdf. All manuscripts must be in English and do not need to be anonymized. Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will not be read. All full papers and short papers accepted for presentation will be published in the Conference Proceedings produced by ACM. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. To encourage broader data sharing in the community, the conference will present a best paper award for the top paper that makes its data sets publically available by the time of camera ready submission. For example, wireless-network data sets may be published through CRAWDAD. Authors that would like their paper to be considered for this award should add a footnote on the first page of their submission (and indicate this by selecting the appropriate button on the paper registration/submission page). A limited number of travel grants may be available to students who are unable to secure funding from their advisors.

Brenton Walker <brenton(a)cs.wisc.edu> schrieb: We apologize if you receive multiple copies._____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement HOT PLANET 2011 Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2011, 28 June 2011, Washington DC USA http://www.hotplanetconf.net/_____________________________________________ It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad-hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following two successful editions of the workshop at ACM MobiSys 2009 and 2010, the third HotPlanet workshop will not only challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces but also to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques. To make the whole event even more interesting, we will hold a competition for all the workshop participants. The contest will be about the mobility data - the details will be unveiled soon. The ceremony for the winners will take place during the last day of the ACM MobiSys conference. Important dates: ---------------- Paper registration deadline: March 24, 2011 Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Authors notification: May 1, 2011 Camera ready: May 10, 2011 Workshop date: June 28, 2011 Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:_____________________________________________ - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - Techniques for mobility data storage and processing - Knowledge discovery from mobility data - Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection Workshop Chairs: ---------------- Michal Piorkowski, USI Lugano, Switzerland Brenton Walker, LTS University of Maryland, USA Program Committee: ------------------ Imad Aad, Nokia Research Center Lausanne, Switzerland David J.

Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

"Habib M. Ammari" <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> schrieb: [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom 2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom 2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom 2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSI protocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbed design and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must (i) be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), (ii) be in font size no smaller than 10 points, (iii) have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and (iv) fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the Mobicom 2011 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org<mailto:mobicom_pcchairs@acm.org>. BEST PAPER AWARD: All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission due: March 2, 2011 (11:59PM EST) Paper submission due: March 9, 2011 (11:59PM EST) Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2011 Camera-ready version due: June 30, 2011 General Chair Parmesh Ramanathan, University of Wisconsin-Madison Program Co-Chairs Brian Neil Levine, Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst Thyaga Nandagopal, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent Steering Committee Victor Bahl Imrich Chlamtac David B.

It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 (just a little room) -----------_____________________________________________ -- With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science New Mexico State University Homepage: www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra_____________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the itc list, click the following link: http://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:25:36 +1300 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <tccn(a)comsoc.org> CC: tapani.e.ristaniemi(a)jyu.fi, ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg, niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn, cleung(a)ece.ubc.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Technologies for Green Radio Communication Networks IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Since 2006, data traffic on wireless networks has grown by approximately 400% and is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming years. The widespread use of complex, spectrum efficient techniques to support such high data volumes, the demand for higher data rates and the ever-increasing number of wireless users translate to rapidly rising power consumption. Currently consuming 3% of the energy and causing 2% of the CO2 emissions globally, the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industries are facing an increase in associated energy consumption of 16-20% per year. Furthermore, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for focusing on energy efficiency. While there is much leeway for developing energy efficient and low power solutions for wireless networks, such as based on cognitive radios, multi-hop relaying, cooperative communications and MIMO systems, today’s communication networks are not much considering energy consumption issues into their design or development. The main reason is that this topic is not yet a focus of practical work and so far no solid research work has given support and evidence for any technique of reducing the overall system energy consumption. This Special Issue will assemble high-quality research articles as well as comprehensive survey papers on recent technological advances in the field of Green Radio Communication Networks. These contributions will serve as valuable references and trend indicators for researchers and engineers from both industry and academia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Current view and impact of energy consumption in wireless communications networks • Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption in wireless networks • Energy efficiency metrics and measurements in wireless networks • Energy efficient network concepts and architectures. • Relaying, cognitive, cooperative and MIMO techniques • Self-organizing/optimizing networks • Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs • Interaction of wireless networks with smart grids and power management • Regulation and standardization • Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes • Applications and business models of energy efficient wireless networks • Operators’ experience • Coordinated power control for network-wide energy optimization • Energy minimization of system-wide components • Relationships between energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/sub_guidelines.html. Articles should be tutorial in nature to help readers outside the specialty of the field to gain a clear and good understanding of the topic. Electronic submissions in PDF format is strongly encouraged and should be sent by email to ehjchong(a)ntu.edu.sg with cc to all the guest editors.

It draws upon a broad array of disciplines that span security, communications and networking. In addition to technical research papers, the technical program of ACM WiSec 2011 will include a Poster and Demonstration Session to provide a venue for presenting work that is at a nascent state of development or for demonstrating new technologies that are relevant to wireless networking and security. The WiSec Program Committee is encouraging both academic and industrial submissions, with the objective of exchanging ideas and receiving timely feedback from other members of the research community. Submissions to the Poster and Demonstration Session will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas. Ideally, the demos should allow participants to try things out themselves. Submission Instructions for Posters and Demonstrations For the posters, authors should submit a two page extended abstract that provides sufficient technical detail so that the evaluation committee can assess the technical merit of the work. The poster abstracts do not have to present completed work, but at the same time should provide enough concrete evidence to support the potential and validity of the proposed ideas. For demos, authors should to submit a two page extended abstract that describes the technology that they have developed, the relevance to wireless networking and security, and which also highlights the novelty of the prototype. For demonstrations, the abstract should also contain an extra page that clearly describes what conference participants will be able to see or do during the demonstration. Demonstrations should have a research component and, in particular, should not push a commercial agenda. Both types of abstracts should follow the WiSec formatting guidelines (with a 2 page limit + 1 extra page for demos), and authors should refer to the main WiSec website for instructions related to formatting. Abstracts of accepted posters and demos will be distributed to conference participants and selected abstracts will be published in the ACM SIGMOBILE MC2R magazine. The demo session will have a table per demo, power and wireless connectivity available. If a demonstration requires special arrangements, please note them in a separate email to the session chair parallel to submission. Submissions to the poster and demo session are being handled through the same submission system as the regular conference papers. Refer to http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2011/ for details.
