-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 13:57:26 +0200 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== Please 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 will be provided soon), 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: ================ • 31.

Notes can be up to 8 pages in LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer+science/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Successful submissions typically break new ground and provide substantial support for results and conclusions. The different length of Full Papers (18 pages) and Notes (8 pages) allows authors to choose an appropriate submission category based on the size of the contribution or scope of the work. Consider carefully whether a Full Paper or Note submission is more appropriate, as submissions will only be considered for the category in which they are submitted, (i.e. Full Paper submissions that are found to have small contributions will not be considered for acceptance in Note format.) All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Details on the submission process will be available soon! Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize oblique and overt references and citations that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. However, to facilitate proper review, references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed, anonymized, or omitted. Instead, references to previous research should be presented in the text in a neutral fashion that does not identify it as the author’s own work.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Future Internet Architectures: Design and Deployment Perspectives Datum: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 12:43:35 -0400 Von: Arjan Durresi <durresi(a)cs.iupui.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Call for Papers* *IEEE Communications Magazine* *Future Internet Architectures: Design and Deployment Perspectives* http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag0711.htm The evolution of the Internet is one of the most intriguing and magnificent engineering feats in the history of technological innovations. The Internet mirrors and enhances all aspects of our lives, by creating unprecedented opportunities for advancing knowledge in all fields of human activities. However, the 21st century society's needs may not be met by the current trajectory of incremental changes to the current Internet. Furthermore, the continued success of the Internet is increasingly threatened by increased and sophisticated security attacks and by the lack of performance reliability of Internet services. Therefore, the research community worldwide is engaged in exploring new architectures and solutions for the future Internet. The goal of this special issue is to feature diverse architectural design ideas for the future Internet based on a broad spectrum of design perspectives, motivations for change, and sound design principles. While research on future Internet design has been underway over the last several years, it is particularly challenging to be able to bridge the gap between pure academic pursuit and affecting real technological contribution through actual deployment. *Scope* This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in research and technology for "Future Internet", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming Internet era. Original research on overarching architectures for the future Internet with deployment plans is solicited. Suggested topics include but not limited to the following: * Requirement modeling of future Internet services/applications * Service oriented architectures for the future Internet * Security architectures for the future Internet * Energy efficient protocol/architecture designs * Future Internet devices * Economic Models for the future architectures and solutions * Mobility in future Internet, effects of wireless and location awareness * Role of network virtualization and cloud computing * Future Internet and its social benefits * Management, tools, and regulations * Quality of Services * Standardizations, policies and legislation * Cyber-physical, where the digital and real lives overlap * Flexibility and Programmability *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field.

-------- 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, 24 Sep 2010 13:31:51 +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. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process.

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] CFP: IEEE Wirelesss Communications Magazine SI on Green Radio Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:39:13 +1200 Von: Boon-Chong Seet <bcseet(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: EHJChong(a)ntu.edu.sg 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. Important Dates . Manuscripts Due: March 1, 2011 .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Feature Topic Issue of IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:46:33 +0800 Von: Jun Zheng <junzheng(a)seu.edu.cn> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on The Internet of Things The Internet has experienced a tremendous growth in the past three decades, evolving from a network of a few hundred hosts to a platform linking billions of “things” globally, including individual people as well as enterprises of various sizes, through computers of any conceivable size and capability and the applications running on them. The growth of Internet shows no signs of slowing down and it steadily becomes the cause of a new pervasive paradigm in computing and communications. This new paradigm enhances the traditional Internet into a smart Internet of Things (IoT) created around intelligent interconnections of diverse objects in the physical world, such as vehicles, cellphones, habitats and habitat occupants, through low-cost information gathering devices, such as sensors and RFID tags, that facilitate fast-paced interactions among the objects themselves as well as the objects and persons in any place and at any time. IoT will usher a wide range of smart applications and services to cope with many of the challenges that individuals and organizations face in their everyday lives. For example, remote healthcare monitoring systems will help alleviate the severe shortage of healthcare personnel in an ageing society; intelligent transportation systems will help reduce traffic congestion and inevitably ills caused by it such as air-pollution; smart distribution systems from utility grids to supply chains will improve the quality and reduce the cost of their respective goods and services; tagged objects can be recycled more efficiently by being retrieved from bulk waste disposal, and so on. These applications would dramatically change the way our societies function and thus have a big impact on many aspects of people’s life in the years to come. IoT is not a mere extension of today’s Internet or an internet of Internet systems. It represents intelligent end-to-end systems that enable smart solutions and as such it covers a diverse range of technologies, including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing, and intelligent control technologies. To make IoT a reality, significant research needs to be conducted within and across these technological aspects of IoT. This has recently motivated a voluminous amount of research activities in the hot field and this Feature Topic Issue intends to capture and expose it to the IEEE ComMag readership. Scope of the issue This feature topic issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art development in technology, application, and standardization in the field of the Internet of Things, and present an insight of future research opportunities and challenges in this field. The feature issue will consider original survey and research articles written in a tutorial style. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system architectures of IoT * Sensing technologies for IoT * Short-range Communications for IoT * Sensor networking technologies for IoT * Access network technologies for IoT * Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT * RFID applications in IoT * Smart grid applications in IoT * Healthcare applications in IoT * Environmental monitoring applications in IoT * Intelligent transportation applications in IoT * Public safety in IoT * Security and privacy management for IoT * Application systems and testbeds for IoT * Standardization activities for IoT Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts in PDF format electronically via the Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com).

As a result, most of the public places such as airports, train stations, banks, shopping malls, subways and streets are nowadays equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia surveillance systems. These systems are meant to process the sensory data to automatically detect the suspicious or unusual behavior of the people and alert the security personnel so that a preventive action can be taken. Although this surveillance infrastructure has proved to be highly useful from a security perspective; there has been apprehension among people in regard to their privacy safeguards. Citizens have increasingly begun to object to being watched electronically. Hence, there is a need of preserving privacy of people yet providing them a sense of security through effective surveillance. Although there has been a significant progress in the field of surveillance research, the issues related to people's privacy have often been overlooked in the past and have only begun to attract the attention of researchers very recently. The goal of this issue is to bring forth the recent advancements in the privacy research for multimedia surveillance. Original and unpublished contributions covering the following and related issues concerned with privacy in multi-sensor multimedia surveillance settings are solicited: · Privacy considerations in acquisition and transmission of multimedia data · Privacy issues in multimedia information processing: fusion, analysis, presentation, and publication of multimedia data · Privacy in multimedia databases: storage, access, indexing and retrieval · Theory and models: assessment of privacy and utility, privacy leakage and covert channels · Ethical and legal issues of privacy Submission Details —------------------- Submitting authors should follow the Author Guidelines available from http://www.ifi.uio.no/MMSJ/author.html. All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. Guest Editors —------------- Pradeep K. Atrey, University of Winnipeg, Canada Mohan S.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Datum: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 01:17:27 -0500 Von: Xi Zhang <xizhang(a)mail.ece.tamu.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (We apologize if your receive multiple copies of this email) Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative Wireless Networking Over the last few years, fundamental research has demonstrated the great potential of cooperative wireless networking in increasing the system capacity and enlarging the coverage area as well as enhancing the quality-of-service (QoS) by taking advantage of the cooperative diversity and multiplexing. Consequently, cooperative wireless networking has become one of the widely recognized features for the future wireless communication systems. While the conventional research mainly focused on relatively simple cooperative relay topologies or on the cooperation schemes under the existing infrastructure networks, cooperative networking for the future wireless systems has its unique spectrum of features. Specifically, the frequent user cooperation and interaction empower the mobile users with a new role as the mobile-service providers, comparing with their traditional role as only the consumers. In this sense, mobile users' cooperation strategy and decisions are sensitive to not only the QoS requirements of the end users' applications but also their own benefits as rewards for providing the mobile-services. Moreover, the cooperation provided by mobile users does not have to rely heavily on the infrastructure networks. Towards these unique features, many challenges are imposed in cooperative communications for future wireless networks. First, physical-layer signals are required to be capable of achieving cooperative diversity and multiplexing gain across multiple coexisting multi-hop cooperation links. Second, the user cooperation highly depends on the positions of mobile users, which vary frequently and are hard to control by the infrastructure networks. Thus, to gain significant performance improvement through cooperation, distributed medium access control and routing protocols are expected to play the vital role in the fast cooperative-network reconfiguration. Third, since mobile users serve as both service providers and consumers, wireless-resource competition/negotiation strategies among cooperative users and the infrastructure networks become the extremely important issues. Fourth, the user cooperations at different protocol layers have diverse features and challenges, which motivate cross-layer design to develop optimized cooperation schemes. Fifth, given the frequent data exchanging, forwarding, and relaying among mobile users, the trust management and related problems need to be thoroughly studied for secure cooperation with protection of mobile users' privacy. Finally, due to the limited spectrum resources, the combination of user cooperation and the cognitive radio technologies is promising to further achieve significant performance gains. The topic on cooperative networking has attracted intensive attentions from researchers in not only academia, but also industry. Inspired by the attractive features and potential benefit from cooperative networking, industry has made significant efforts on the implementation of cooperative networks. Cooperative relay has been proposed in the 802.16j MMR (Mobile Multi-hop Relay) standard. Also, many coordinated multi-cell space-frequency coding have been suggested in the standardization bodies such as 3GPP LTE. Despite the large amount of research work proposed in recent years, the aforementioned issues for cooperative networking towards future wireless systems still remain open problems.

The primary objective of IJARAS isto provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop,maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that arebuilt to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentiallysignificant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAShas multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARASbuilds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need tostructure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changesboth exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces aproblem, which implies a research direction a thesis. The truth about this statement is drasticallyreverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains suchas cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded asspecial cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; andthrough that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new researchdirections in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Adaptability issues in DBMS; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) Datum: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 16:43:05 +0200 Von: Kellerer, Wolfgang <kellerer(a)DOCOMOLAB-EURO.COM> 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 Call for Papers ************************************************************************ ******* IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Advances in Mobile Networking (AMN 2011) - Towards a Next Generation Mobile Core Network - June 9, 2011, Kyoto, Japan http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/amn2011 http://www.ieee-icc.org/2011/cfp_workshop_list.php CALL FOR PAPERS Important Dates --------------- Manuscript submission deadline: October 15, 2010 Notification of decision: January 15, 2011 Camera-ready deadline: February 15, 2011 Scope and Motivation -------------------- Mobile Networks are at the brink of becoming truly All-IP Networks, providing all services through IP technology. This opens the door for new advancements of mobile systems and all parts of them, along with the efforts taken to advance Internet technology. In fact, there is an urgent necessity to advance the IP based mobile network in the upcoming years. This need stems from the rapid growth of multimedia application traffic that in return requires an unprecedented network capacity increase. However, the revenue will not grow at the same extent as the traffic. Consequently costs per bit are increasing, demanding for higher network efficiency. The efficiency increase is expected for infrastructure provisioning as well as for operational cost. In addition we address innovative user-centric service deployment embracing emerging resources in the network such as storage and processing power that demand for new mobility management and resource management solutions taking service locality, service roaming and user perceived quality into account. This workshop focuses on the mobile core network. We take a deployment of air interfaces such as LTE-Advanced for well underway and focus in concepts and technologies for the advancement of the core network. Contributions are sought for all network layers ranging from high-speed transport to service delivery platform. The emerging variety of multimedia services also pushed by the heterogeneity of end systems ranging from traditional mobile phones to high resolution portable smart devices, demands for new, efficient resource management schemes such as mobile network embedded Content Delivery Networks or content specific mobility management schemes. With available processing and storage space in the network, services do not any longer have to remain statically at a central server, but may move closer to the consumer. Such migration is not limited to one operator domain, but service programs may roam between operator networks. Diversified resource control also demands for a next generation of quality of service provisioning taking the user's Quality of Experience into account. In order to flexibly realize such new network and service solutions a level of indirection between the service delivery platform and the transport network is needed. Sophisticated mechanism are sought to allow for network resource isolations, realizing an abstraction layer for flexible control and management of coexisting, specific networks on one infrastructure substrate. It also allows abstracting from transport networks, supporting the flexible introduction of high speed bit transport through advanced (e.g. optical) network technologies. This addresses a new emerging business environment that reaches from Cloud Computing, Network Virtualization and System Adaptability to the exploding number of 3rd party applications. New players have to be taken into account in an open service market to respond to the economic market pressure that is grounded in fierce competition. New solutions are sought for expanding the next mobile network and emerging service ecosystems into a ubiquitous service space that includes internetworking with physical objects in the user environment, through means of Radio Frequency Identification, Near Field Communication and advanced user interaction mechanism. Topics of Interest ----------------------- Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Network aspects for next generation mobile systems such as decentralization, scalability, networked cloud computing, ubiquitous networking environments - Mobile network edge-based service delivery platforms - Mobile Content Delivery Networks - In-network service processing - Advanced roaming concepts (roaming of service programs and content) - Quality of Experience driven network optimization - Reconfigurable, self-organizing mobile network - Network resource management for LTE-Advanced - Mobile network virtualization - Mobile network sharing and network access - Advanced mobility management - Optical network technologies for mobile core network - Energy-efficient networking awareness - Emerging business models and business roles Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Submissions should be in English, adopt IEEE paper templates and must not exceed 5 pages.

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.
