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.

The integration of heterogeneous networks is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be "Always Best Connected" (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Furthermore, communication security is required at both communication and service layer in order to reassure confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and maintain QoS of on-going sessions in a seamless manner. This special issue will report the results of latest research efforts on mobility management in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - Network Architectures and Mobility - Mobility in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI etc) - Standardisation fora evolution (IETF: HOKEY/SEAMOBY/PANA, IEEE: 802.21) - IP-based Mobility Management - Efficient Handover Algorithms - Radio Resource Management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Cross-Layer Schemes - Privacy and Trust and AAA Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks - Roaming in Multi-access environment - Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques - Wireless network testbeds and applications - Interactive media in ubiquitous environments - Mobililty and Media Delivery Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the Telecommunications Journal manuscript format described below at the journal site: http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal/11235? detailsPage=contentItemPage&CIPageCounter=128514.

[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IOTS 2010 The 1st IEEE/ACM Internet of Things Symposium http://www.cpschina.org/IOTS/ In conjunction with GreenCom 2010 Hangzhou, China, December 18-20, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Overview The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of Internet-enabled objects, together with web services that interact with these objects. IoT is growing momentum in terms of the underlying technology as well as the adoption by corporations, universities and across many industries. IoT aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded systems, which leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things will take time, but the process is accelerating thanks to improvements in underlying technologies. Advances in wireless networking technologies and the standardization of communication protocols make it possible to collect data from sensors almost anywhere at any time. Smaller silicon chips for this purpose are gaining new capabilities. Significant increase in storage and computing power can also be available via cloud computing. However, a large number of challenges remain. With the increase in heterogeneity, it has become very difficult to ensure interactions with devices on a unified protocol. The requirements of Internet for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There exists a need for those networks to produce their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services. 2.Symposium Outline The focus of this symposium is on bringing together relevant researchers to explore internet of things technologies and applications. The scope of this symposium includes, but not limited to, the following areas: - IoT connecting objects technologies: sensors, RFID, smartphone - IoT network architectures - IoT emerging applications - IoT security and privacy - IoT routing - IoT naming and addressing - IoT energy-efficient computing and communications - IoT data fusion - IoT cross-layer optimization - IoT communication protocols - IoT heterogeneous network integration: WiFi, WiMax, 3G, 4G, ZigBee 3.Important Dates (NEW!)

In particular, geosensor networks and public sensing have evolved as novel and important research fields. They offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale of billions of sensing devices. This data is of high relevance to a wide spectrum of applications, for instance in the field of environmental monitoring, traffic control, and smart energy grids. It is of high importance that communication architectures and services for enabling such systems are highly scalable and able to cope with massive amounts of sensor data in order to meet the requirements of emerging applications. These requirements range from hard performance and quality demands to ensuring security and privacy for the provided data. They are particularly difficult to meet in the face of the heterogeneity of sensors, sensor networks, and communication architectures. Coping with these challenges requires an integrated research effort involving researchers from a wide spectrum of different research fields. This workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners together that are working in areas such as sensor networks, architectures and services for the Future Internet, P2P overlays, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and novel communication paradigms like opportunistic and delay tolerant networking.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2011 - Preliminary Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:08:32 +0000 Von: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG **We apologize if you receive more than one copy of this announcement** HotMobile 2011 The Twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Phoenix, AZ, USA March 1-2, 2011 http://www.hotmobile.org/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2011, the twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2011 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 15, 2010 Acceptance notification: December 16, 2010 Revised papers due: January 21, 2011 Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDT on Friday October 15, 2010. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 15th 2010 at 23:59:59 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [10 DAYS LEFT] CFP: IJRRCS - Special Issue on Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking Datum: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 11:48:03 -0700 Von: Albert Lam <ayslam(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you received multiple copies of this posting. ** CALL FOR PAPERS *** ------------------------------------------------------- CFP: International Journal of Research and Reviews in Computer Science - Special Issue on “Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking” ------------------------------------------------------- Computer networking has become an active research fields in the last few decades and many products have been realized through successful networking research. Due to our demands for higher data rate and more seamless connectivity, new technologies keep being developed and merchandised, including wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, social networks, smart grid communications, etc. Therefore, many new problems have been proposed and most of which can be formulated as optimization problems. However, many such optimization problems do not have the corresponding good algorithms developed or they are so hard (usually classified as NP-hard) that no algorithm is available to find the optimal solution in polynomial time. Although it may be difficult to find the optimal solutions for these problems, we can still approximate the best solutions with reasonably good ones. When we focus on NP-hard problems and computation time is our concern, approximate algorithms are the good choice. Since the evolutionary computational approaches were developed in the past few decades, many works rely on the nature-inspired algorithms to do optimization. The relatively classical ones are Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Artificial Immune System, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization, etc. Some recently proposed algorithms include Harmony Search, Bee Algorithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Group Search Optimization, Biogeography-based Optimization, Chemical ReactionOptimization, etc. This special issue is focused on highlighting the nature-inspired techniques to solve optimization for designing computer networks. They should demonstrate advantages or improvements in some aspects over the existing methods. The goal is to developnature-inspired approaches which enhance the adaptability, autonomicity, and scalability of any kinds of computer networks. We also welcome submissions that demonstrate real-world experience in and theoretical works on applying nature-inspired optimizationtechniques to networking research problems. Topics related to computer networks to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • P2P audio and video streaming • Grid and cluster computing • Cloud systems • Social networks • Infrastructure-based and ad hoc cognitive radio systems • Topology control and management • Cross-layer design and interactions • Centralized/distributed radio resource management in wireless mesh networks • Service-oriented and QoS support for smart grid • Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing for smart grid communications • Multicast for smart grid • Green computing systems Topics related to nature-inspired techniques to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • Genetic Algorithms • Simulated Annealing • Ant Colony Optimization • Particle Swarm Optimization • Artificial Immune Systems • Harmony Search • Bees Algorithm • Biogeography-based Optimization • Group Search Optimization • Bacterial Foraging Optimization • Chemical Reaction Optimization Guest Editors: • Dr. Albert Y.S.

These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission (New Deadline): October 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PerNets (with IEEE CCNC) Datum: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:29:42 +0530 Von: R. Venkatesha Prasad <rvprasad(a)ieee.org> An: tccc <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************ Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/<https://legacywebmail.tudelft.nl/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://pernets.i…> to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2011) January 9, 2011 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA ************************************************************************ Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.

Such systems may be deployed in a variety of environments such as within the building infrastructure, in tools and machinery and embedded in garments or clothing of personnel. This would enable continuous fine-grained monitoring of various processes and operations in typically harsh environments. In addition, the in-built intelligence could allow certain nodes to individually or collaboratively analyse the sensed data and take autonomous decisions to perform certain actuation operations. Cognitive systems could also play an important role in providing real-time feedback to factory or logistics personnel to help improve productivity and safety. There are, however, numerous challenges in developing such systems. For example, the harsh radio environment present within factories and warehouses makes it essential to develop robust networking protocols that are highly fault tolerant. The limited memory and computational resources on every node means that collaborative algorithms are required to process the sensed data. Certain nodes in the network may be powered using harvested energy (e.g. solar, vibration, etc.). This would require energy management algorithms that would help the system deal with variable levels of energy resources over time. The networking and data processing algorithms need to be highly scalable and support heterogeneous network architectures as a typical large scale network may involve thousands of nodes with differing capabilities in terms of sensing, data generation, processing power and network capability. This workshop provides a platform for both academic and industrial researchers to demonstrate how cognitive wireless sensing technologies can enhance the operation of present day factory and logistics operations.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:26:00 -0400 Von: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> CC: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPER Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2011 Camera ready: June 1st, 2011 Publication of special issue: Fall, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals.

Submission Link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcmsiradssa2010 CALL FOR PAPERS [in PDF] Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Recent Advance on Distributed Sensor Systems & Applications http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_radssa.html Applications are always the original driving force for researches, particularly in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) area, which is highly utility-oriented. WSNs have emerged as a new information paradigm for distributed real-time and embedded systems, where the energy consumption and the data process and storage capacity of the sensor nodes must be taken into account. Example applications include environment monitoring, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection, medical care, intelligent transportation, and smart manufacturing. However, finding killer applications for WSNs is still a hard task that is heavily pursued. This special issue aims at presenting innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems, applications, and novel techniques, especially in a distributed environment. We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: l Sensor networks applications, architectures, protocols, Tools, systems, and algorithms l Real testbed measurement and performance analysis l Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks l Distributed networked sensing, actuation and control l Energy harvesting technologies on power and energy management l Wide-area sensing services and support for social networking l Localization and time synchronization and QoS provisioning protocols l Security and privacy in sensor networks l Multimedia transmission (high resolution video etc) l Inter-connection between distributed sensor systems l Systems for context sensing and context awareness l User interfaces/ User friendliness and usability issues for backend monitoring l Collaborative in-network processing and data sharing l Sensor devices and sensor circuits for distributed systems Submission Guideline: Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers.

Submission Deadline: Aug. 15th, 2010.Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems Journal http://www.springer.com/journal/11235 (Springer) (SCI indexed) Special Issue on “Recent Advance in Mobile Sensor Networks” Scope The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes (controllable sensors and uncontrollable sensors) are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Unlike existing wireless sensor networks which are composed of static sensors and sink nodes, wireless mobile sensor networks allows diverse entities to move within the network field all the time, e.g., mobile base station, mobile sensor nodes, mobile relay nodes, mobile cluster heads. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research challenging issues in both communication and data management aspects, e.g., challenges for localization in mobile sensor networks, challenges for providing coverage services by mobile sensor networks, and challenges for data collection in mobile sensor networks. On the other hand, these challenges in mobile sensor networks also provides lots of opportunities that researchers can leverage the mobility feature to exploring improvement for traditional solutions and methods in various aspects, e.g., node localization, network coverage, and data collection/streaming/management. This special issue is seeking papers working on these challenges of the mobile ad hoc and sensor networks from the academia researchers and the industry practitioners, as well as papers that addressing various hot topics of the mobile sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Data Aggregation and Data Dissemination in Mobile Sensor networks • Query Processing and Data Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Autonomic Computing with Mobile Sensor networks • Topology Control and Coverage Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Applications and Evolutions of Mobile Sensor networks • Physical Layer Design of Mobile Sensor networks • MAC Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control & Routing for Mobile Sensor networks • Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Mobile Sensor networks • Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile Sensor networks • Integrated Simulation and Test bed for Mobile Sensor networks • Measurement based Evaluation for Mobile Sensor networks • Distributed Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Pricing Modeling and Solutions with Mobile Sensor networks • Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile Sensor networks • Service Discovery for Mobile Sensor networks • Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Mobile Sensor networks • Mobile Service and QoS Management for Mobile Sensor networks • Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Mobile Sensor networks • Security, Trust and Privacy Issues in Mobile Sensor networks Submission: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM BuildSys deadline: 30 July 2010 Datum: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:17:37 +0200 Von: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> An: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> Call for papers: ACM BuildSys 2010, in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2010 http://buildsys.org/2010 2nd ACM Workshop On Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings and Surroundings Zurich, Switzerland - November 2, 2010. Important dates: * Submission deadline: 30 July 2010 * Notification of acceptance: 7 September 2010 * Camera Ready Due: 25 September 2010 * Workshop date: 2 November 2010 Technically co-sponsored by ACM. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The Proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and surroundings and the generation of energy awareness. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a key role in enabling energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in existing as well as new structures and be controlled via the Internet. In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage of diverse types of energy. Following the success of the past edition of the workshop, BuildSys 2010 focuses on the intersection between WSNs and energy in buildings by merging experts in the WSN domain and experts in the Building/Energy community in order to identify innovative solutions which achieve the broad goal of energy-reduction. The workshop welcomes sensor network-based techniques and applications that can clearly demonstrate how to: * Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and other forms of media to convey relevant information to users; * Systems that can influence a change of building occupant behaviour towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.; * Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial settings (e.g. data centres, HVAC, etc.) * Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an increase of production efficacy; * Model and simulate heating cooling lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys; * Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines); * Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and energy distribution (electricity, gas, water); Particular emphasis will also be given to: * Real evaluation of energy-saving techniques and case studies that demonstrate a decrease of energy expenditure in real scenarios; * Design of innovative architectures that are capable of reducing energy consumption and improve energy use efficiency; * Accurate case studies and issues experienced current energy systems and how sensor networks can improve the state of the art in building energy management; * Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy usage/production model and to predict future demands; * Innovative Sensor Network-assisted building monitoring systems (BMS); * Integration of WSNs and wired sensor systems (e.g., Powerline, exing BMS) for the energy management in buildings.

These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call For Papers: "Internet-based Content Delivery" (Special Issue of Computer Networks-Elsevier) Datum: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:19:36 +1000 Von: <Mukaddim.Pathan(a)csiro.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ** Apologies for any cross postings ** ** Please share it with your colleagues ** ****************************************************** Call for Papers A Special Issue of Computer Networks (Elsevier) On "Internet-based Content Delivery" ****************************************************** Overview and Topics of Interest =============================== Distributing and processing Internet-based data in an efficient and cost effective manner is a challenging issue in Internet technology. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have emerged to address this challenge by offering infrastructure and mechanisms to deliver content and services in a scalable manner. Nevertheless, modern applications do not just perform retrieval or access operation on content, but also create, modify and manage content, and actively place them at appropriate locations. To deal with such new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs) are being introduced. Design and implementation of robust and efficient CNs in large-scale computing environments demand the use of emerging paradigms and software technologies, such as Peer-to-Peer, Grid and the latest IT trend-Cloud computing. The integration of these emerging technologies in content delivery opens new perspectives in Internet technologies, raising new issues in the architecture, design and implementa tion of existing CDNs. The aim of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive guide on new ideas and results in the content networking domain. It will capture the state-of-the-art in the content networking domain in terms of design, architecture, applications for content and service delivery in the Internet and Clouds; optimization for Cloud-based content delivery; and performance measurement methodologies. Topics for potential articles for the special issue include, but are not limited to: * Content delivery and management on the Internet * Anycast-based Content Delivery Networks * Architecture and management of Cloud-based Content Networks * Protocols and mechanisms for content production and content outsourcing * Data management under Clouds and Content Networks * Mobility in content delivery * Dynamic content delivery and adaptive CDNs * Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), business models and service pricing * Content distribution internetworking scenarios, architectures, methodologies * Interoperability / portability of applications and data between different Cloud and CDN providers * Scalable, self-managing and autonomic Content Delivery Clouds * Content networks for scientific computing * Novel applications based on Cloud Computing and Content Networks Guest Editors ============= Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy g.fortino(a)unical.it Carlo Mastroianni, Italian National Research Council (ICAR-CNR), Italy mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it George Pallis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus gpallis(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy Mukaddim Pathan, CSIRO, Australia mukaddim.pathan(a)csiro.au Athena Vakali, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece avakali(a)csd.auth.gr Important Dates ============= Paper submission: 30 November, 2010 Acceptance notification: 30 April, 2011 Final papers: 31 July 2011 Submission Format =============== All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Special issue on Wireless Communication in Challenged Environments [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] DEADLINE EXTENSION: July 20, 2010 Due to several requests, the submission deadline is extended to July 20, 2010. ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 20, 2010 (Extended)************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross- layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment- aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas. The Ad Hoc Networks considers original, high quality and unpublished contributions addressing all aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets 2011 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 24 Datum: Thu, 8 Jul 2010 10:54:57 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************************************** Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2011) January 8-11, 2011 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library ************************************************************************************************************** Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
