However, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks, since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries and power consumption represents a major component of the operator´s network operational cost. There is added momentum for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. This special issue envisions contributions including different aspects on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media. Some relevant topics include: * Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing * Cooperative Communications * Cognitive Networks * QoE Multimedia for Future Internet * P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Network Coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * Short-Range Communications * Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. * Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for multimedia services in next generation networks. * 3D Video Coding * Context-aware networks and network-aware content *********************************** Guest Editors *********************************** Jonathan Rodriguez, Inst.

This full day workshop aims to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial perspectives and thinking to highlight and discuss recent progress in femtocell technologies. The list of promising new developments includes cooperative networks of femtocells and extending the classical concept of indoor femtocells to the outdoors, e.g. as fixed relays in macrocells for enhancing coverage and cell-edge capacity or as mobile femtocells in public transports. Self-organizing techniques for high capacity and optimum use of transmit power whilst minimizing OPEX and simplifying complexity for remote network management are vitally important to cope with expected multiple million femtocells networks. Scope and Objectives -------------------- In view of current standardization activities in 3GPP and IEEE, changing regulatory landscape and impetus from industrial bodies such as Femto Forum, this workshop focuses on presenting and debating advanced femtocell technologies that have the potential to be considered in future standards such as LTE-A to make the radio access solutions highly efficient with major leapfrog in spectral-efficiency per unit area, while minimizing the transmit power. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following issues: * Optimization of Radio Access * New generation of baseband and radio frequency techniques * Smart interference management * Self-configuration and self-optimization techniques * Network management and architecture * Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers need to be uploaded to the VTC Trackchair (http://vtc11s-workshops.trackchair.com), should be in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages, and should follow IEEE paper templates.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: OPTIM'11 - Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems Von: "Patricia Ruiz" <patriciaruizvillalobos(a)hotmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems (OPTIM 2011) As part of  The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2011) In conjunction with The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 4 – July 8, 2011 Istanbul, Turkey http://hpcs11.cisedu.info/conference/workshops/workshop-03---optim Submission deadline: January 11, 2011 ============================================================================ SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Minimization of energy consumption has become a central issue in designing distributed systems that range from wireless ad hoc networks to data centers. Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms - Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Energy-efficient MAC protocols - Energy-efficient routing protocols - Voltage and frequency scaled networks - Energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above - Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency - Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Von: "Yang, Kun" <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Deadline extended to 30 Nov. 2010 due to many requests. Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 11:35:57 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances 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 - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: Submitted papers must be written in grammatically correct English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 00:10:02 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues. Schedule for the First Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: June 1 Acceptance Notification: September 1 Final Manuscript Submission: November 1 Expected Publication Date: January Schedule for the Second Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: December 1 Acceptance Notification: March 1 Final Manuscript Submission: May 1 Expected Publication Date: July Series Editors Ying-Dar Lin, ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw National Chiao Tung University – Network Benchmarking Lab (NCTU-NBL), TAIWAN Erica Johnson, erica.johnson(a)iol.unh.edu University of New Hampshire – InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), USA Tom McBeath, Tom.McBeath(a)spirent.com Spirent Communications Inc., USA Eduardo Joo, ejoo(a)empirix.com Empirix Inc., USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] [SIGMM] CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee) 2011 Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2010 08:08:59 +0100 Von: Muriel Bardet <muriel.bardet(a)EPFL.CH> Antwort an: Muriel Bardet <muriel.bardet(a)EPFL.CH> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee) 2011 (in conjunction with WiOpt 11) http://winmee2011.epfl.ch/ May 9, 2011 - Princeton, USA ====================================================================== Submission Deadline: January 5th, 2011 Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2011 The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Fwd: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 04 Nov '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:30:04 +0100 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Hi, ** Extended Deadline November, 7th 2010! ** =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== See http://tm.kit.edu/NV2011 for latest information. Network Virtualization (NV) is becoming an increasingly important technology for the deployment of new network architectures that try to go beyond the Internet’s current capabilities. Virtualization of whole networks allows for increased flexibility with respect to resource management as well as for an efficient deployment of different network architectures in parallel but isolated from each other (e.g., coexistence of 3G and different beyond 3G mobile networks on the same physical hardware). While some virtualization techniques are well known for links (e.g., VLANs, MPLS, Tunneling, VPNs, and so on) the challenges lie more in virtualization of network nodes, whole networks, and an efficient management thereof. Accordingly, network virtualization has received significant attention in the network research community, but it is a field that is just beginning to be understood; recently an IRTF research group has been formed for this topic. The current technological challenges and solutions for network virtualization are of interest in this workshop. In addition, major drivers for the success of network virtualization are the considered use cases that can be used to derive important requirements for NV architectures. Network virtualization allows providing specialized, dependable, and predictable networks (e.g., a global IP-TV network, a safe kids’ network or a banking network) and also supports network resource scalability, thereby reducing time and overhead required for an introduction of new services (e.g., starting small scale deployments that can grow fast if the service is becoming more mature and popular). The definition of such use cases helps to design and evaluate (technically and economically) NV solutions. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation, or simulation efforts towards realization of network virtualization for the future Internet. A particular focus lies on use cases for network virtualization. Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via Conftool (https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/). Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the eceasst format (special KIVS Workshop template for LaTeX and Word are provided), and comprise no more than 12 pages in total in this format. Accepted papers will be published in the Open-Access-Journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: • Solutions and drivers • Virtualization technologies, platforms, and architectures • Use cases, applications and services enabled by NV • Business considerations and economic aspects • Network virtualization in data centers • Mobile virtual network operators • Control plane and management plane mechanisms for virtual networks • Resource allocation for co-existing networks • Radio access network sharing • Monitoring in virtualized environments, e.g. QoE or energy consumption • Network virtualization for energy efficiency • Isolation, performance and security Important Dates: ================ • 07.

Due to the increasing significance of power consumption in computing and networking, the goal of e-Energy is to bring together researchers, developers, practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges. The continuing spread of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed much to the reduction of energy consumption in many areas of everyday life. Nevertheless ICT infrastructure continues to expand in capacity and reach, and needs to be more energy- efficient itself. e-Energy addresses all cyber infrastructure such as the varied fields of servers and communication infrastructures, services in data centers, end-systems in home and office environments, broadband access networks, sensor networks, cloud computing, smart grids and future networks such as the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Instrumentation and measurement of energy-efficient computing and networking - Energy and performance profiling, accounting of energy consumption - Metrics, benchmarks, interfaces, tools - Monitoring and management concepts - Energy, performance, quality of service and other resource tradeoffs - Energy-efficient networking and protocols - Energy-efficient peer-to-peer networking and overlays - Future energy-efficient architectures - Energy-efficient application design - Load, heat, and resource modeling - Load, heat, and resource management - Reliability and power management - Energy-efficient grid and data-center technology - Energy-efficient cloud computing - Energy-efficiency and virtualization - Energy-efficiency, resource sharing, and security - SmartGrids: new computing and networking contributions - Sensing techniques and sensor networks for energy awareness - Energy-efficient network components (switches, routers, transceivers, amplifiers, etc.) - Design methodologies and tools for energy-efficient services - Security challenges in energy-efficient computing and networking * Important Dates: Full papers due: January 14, 2011 Notification of acceptance: March 21, 2011 Final versions due: April 22, 2011 * Publication: e-Energy invites submission of two categories of paper: full papers and discussion papers. Full papers should be no longer than 10 pages and discussion papers should be no longer than 4 pages. All papers must present original theoretical and/or experimental research that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions must be in PDF- format using the double-column ACM format given at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Further submission information can be accessed via http://www.e-energy-conf.org/. Proceedings will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM library and IEEE Xplore (subject to agreement by ACM and the IEEE). Full papers should include a detailed description of research either in progress or completed. A discussion paper describes innovative and novel ideas that have not yet been fully explored, but have the potential to influence the research community. A discussion paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies.

All the other dates remain the same. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************* Call for Papers Elsevier Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing - Special Issue on "Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments" www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2010 ************************************************************************************** The development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) based Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is one of the most interesting and active research area nowadays, which is attracting significant efforts from both the industry and the academia, not only from the automotive and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) communities, but also from the fields of wireless and mobile sensor networks, smart environments, and mobile collaborative applications in general. In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. 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, 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.
