It is estimated that people will increase their need of mobility around 35% per decade for the next 3 decades. In this context, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can be seen as new key enablers of the future networked society. Vehicles travelling acquire, as mobile sensors, a variety of information with increased capillarity in time and space. The vast information collected by vehicles can be used to enable a plurality of new services addressing safety, traffic management, smart navigation, in-vehicle remote control, pollution measurements, urban surveillance, environment monitoring, forensic investigations, and Internet access. Hence, VANETs represent a wide dynamic sensing opportunity. The acquisition, sharing, processing, and transmission of data from, to, and among vehicles foresee a new way to manage the communications: heterogeneity is inherent to devices, to data, and also to technologies. This opens new challenges whose complexity increases with the amount of connected vehicles. A typical challenge is how to make vehicles opportunistically cooperate, sharing resources and contents, how to optimize the transmission through operated networks or road side units (i.e., vehicle to infrastructure -V2I - communications), and how to obtain a real advantage from vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (such as, offloading of cellular networks, resource optimization, creation of new services). Other challenges derive from the jointly management and seamless integration of heterogeneous data flows, from frequent but small packets transmitted in V2V links, to huge multimedia flows shared and transmitted through the infrastructure. This special issue is seeking original contributions on VANETs, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this field and discussing challenges, key enabling techniques, unprecedented approaches, and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -Enabling technologies for vehicles cooperation (IEEE 802.11p, LTE, Visible Light Communication, etc.) -Cooperative approach for V2I communication -Physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) techniques (OFDMA, CSMA, non orthogonal waveforms) for V2V and V2I communications -Design of advanced PHYs for the coexistence of heterogeneous data flows (high rate flows with several low rate flows) -Multi-modal heterogeneous networks and optimal management of resources -Distributed algorithms for data collection -Optimal retrieval of relevant data and optimal routing toward the final users -New ideas toward an efficient handling of huge number of devices with widely varying requirements (e.g., information-centric networking) -Example of ITS or Smart Cities applications relying on data collected by vehicles -Field trial experiments. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINE (manuscript due): 2014 October 15 ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE (acceptance notification): 2015 March 12 EXPECTED PUBLICATION DATE: 2nd Quarter 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors Barbara M.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Anyi Wang <wanganyi.way(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. September 2014 20:32:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- PAM 2015 PAM (Passive and Active Measurement) 2015 - Call for Papers IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Registration Due: Sept. 25, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Submission Deadline: Oct. 2, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Notification: Nov. 21, 2014 Camera Ready Due: Dec. 19, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Conference: New York City, NY, March 19-20, 2015 GENERAL INFORMATION PAM seeks to bring together both the network research and operations communities to consider network measurement and analysis techniques, particularly those in the earlier stages of research. PAM has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement at Layer-3. However, in the last 3 years PAM broadened its scope to encompass measurements of networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components; at the MAC/network/transport layers; as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurement technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. PAM continues to encourage a broad range of submissions across these recently important topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: * Passive and active measurement tools: techniques, design and experience. * Characterization studies of network usage, or end-host behavior. * Application-layer measurements: e.g., social networks or game performance. * Measurements of protocol behavior: e.g., DNS, DHCP, or routing protocols. * Network measurements for troubleshooting and anomaly detection. * Measurements related to network security and privacy. * Measurements of data centers, cloud services and content distribution. * Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability. * Measurement of end-user performance and quality of experience. * Management and operation of distributed measurement infrastructures. * Techniques for measurements and measurement-based inference of macroscopic Internet structure, dynamics, and evolution. * Management and visualization of measurement data. * New measurement initiatives. * Measurement analysis techniques: e.g., traffic classification. * Modeling of network measurement. * Correlation of measurements across multiple layers, protocols or networks. * Internet-oriented wireless and mobility measurements. Although PAM traditionally attracts work that is at an early stage, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's ambit, and are particularly encouraged. Paper submissions are limited to 12 pages, see the conference website (link below) for more details about paper submission.

CfP: DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems
by Lars Wolf 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

<CALL FOR PAPER> *Call for Paper* DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems In conjuction with IEEE CloudCom 2014 http://2014.cloudcom.org/ *Abstract* Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud infrastructures and ecosystems according to specific compliance catalogues. Subjects of cloud audits are typically the quality of processes and services, the level of security and data protection as well as other standardised checklists. Examples such as the EuroCloud Star Audit are developed in reference to ISO 27001/27017 and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402 with a restructured approach for cloud service assessment. Other examples which are based on CCM, ISO27001-2013, AICPA Trust Principle (and others) are CSA STAR Certification (which is an evolution, cloud specific of ISO27001) and CSA STAR Attestation (based on SOC2 and CCM). These 2 examples of audits are part of the CSA Open Certification Framework. Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches, processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means getting the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting compliance rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical question from cloud customers nowadays: “Is the cloud service continuously operating compliant to local data protection laws?” The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, administration and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) requirements from standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down to technical means that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a highly dynamic cloud environment in a (half-)automated way. *Topics of interest* • Dynamic Certification • Dynamic Service Level Agreements • Cloud Certificates • Continuous / (Semi-)Automated Monitoring and Auditing • Metrics, Measures, and Methods for Dynamic Certification • Complex Event Processing • Data Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity • Certification Transparency • Data Aggregation • Data Analytics • Visualisation of Certification Results • Trust in Certificates *Important Dates* Paper submissions September 18nd, 2014 Notification September 25th, 2014 Camera-ready October 5th, 2014 *Organisers* • Helmut Krcmar, Technical University Munich • Michael Schermann, Technical University Munich • Mario Hoffmann, Fraunhofer AISEC • Ali Sunyaev, University of Cologne *Programme Committee* • Iryna Windhorst, Fraunhofer AISEC • Philipp Stephanow, Fraunhofer AISEC • Niels Fallenbeck, Fraunhofer AISEC • Andreas Weiß, EuroCloud • Bernd Becker, EuroCloud • Stephan Schneider, University of Cologne • Manuel Wiesche, Technical University Munich • Volker Wiedmer, Fujitsu • Joachim Lohmann, Fujitsu • Michael Diepold, AKDB *Submissions* This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FW: CFP: Special Issue on "Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems Datum: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:55:25 +0200 Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Antwort an: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on "Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems" in IEEE Systems Journal SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients΄ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the "Information for Authors" at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org <http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org/> . In the cover letter, authors should explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the "Special Issue on Communication Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems".

August 2014 12:32:27 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment - NIME'15@ICNC Deadline Extension: September 10 11th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'15) Anaheim, California, USA (Town of Disneyland Resort - Los Angeles Area) February 16, 2015 Co-Located with International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communication (ICNC 2015) http://www.math.unipd.it/~cpalazzi/NIME15 Theme and Scope The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered! suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal SI on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT" Datum: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 10:15:33 -0400 Von: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers for IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on " Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT". http://iot-journal.weebly.com/call-for-papers.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------------- The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (smartphones, wearable devices, smart vehicles) have been playing an increasing important role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), which bridge the digital space and physical world at a societal scale. Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than static sensor networks. This promotes the emergence of a fast-growing consumer-centric sensing paradigm, the Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). As an evolution of participatory sensing, MCS has two unique features: (1) it involves both implicit and explicit participation; (2) MCS collects data from two user-participant data sources: mobile social networks and mobile sensing. Various categories of knowledge (e.g. location, personal and social context, user feelings/opinions, traffic conditions, and pollution) reported by smart device users, are shared w! ithin the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers, enabling a broad range of applications and services such as urban dynamic mining, public safety, and environment monitoring. Numerous research challenges arise from the MCS paradigm including participatory and opportunistic data collection, incentive mechanism design, transient networking, quality of user-contributed data, privacy concerns, and big data processing and analytics. This special issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In particular, we solicit high-quality original research papers on MCS, including but not limited to the following topics: - IoT Architecture/Framework for MCS - Optimized Data Collection Task Allocation - Communication in Transient Networking Environments - Crowdsourced Data Processing and Urban/Social Context Mining - Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing - Heterogeneous Crowdsourced Data Fusion - Dealing with Low Quality Data in MCS - Trust and Privacy Issues in MCS - MCS for Social Networking - Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence in MCS - Emerging/Novel MCS Apps and Systems (environment monitoring, public safety, traffic planning, etc.) IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- - Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2014 - First Reviews Due: February 1, 2015 - Revision Due: March 1, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Acceptance letters: April 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2015 - Publication Date: June, 2015 SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES ----------------------------------- The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on MCS for IoT. Solicited original submission must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal. All manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot GUEST EDITORS ----------------------------------- Bin Guo, Northwestern Polytechnical Univ. email: guobin.keio(a)gmail.com Shusen Yang, Imperial College London email: s.yang09(a)imperial.ac.uk Janne Lindqvist, Rutgers University email: janne(a)winlab.rutgers.edu Xing Xie, Microsoft Research email: xing.xie(a)microsoft.com Raghu K.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Gesendet: 21. August 2014 17:20:11 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM HotMobile 2015 Call for Papers HotMobile 2015: Call for Papers ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International 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. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) 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 topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • 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. ACM HotMobile 2015 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. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. 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. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please email the PC chairs at croy(a)illinois.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents and improve safety, mitigate the impact of congestion, and overall provide a more comfortable experience. Towards this goal, the 2014 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Applications of vehicular networks, including ITS - Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications - Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications - Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.) - In-vehicle communications - Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.) - Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC / link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport, applications etc.) - Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks - Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks - Network and QoS management for vehicular networks - Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks - Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies - Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment - Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles - Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-application) - Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks IEEE VNC 2014 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster session to allow the authors to closely interact with, and obtain feedback from, the conference audience on new or on-going research contributions related to vehicular networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2014 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations related to vehicular networking, describing either mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries as well as universities. We espe! cially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. --------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------------------- All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically. Submission instructions will be provided at a later time. We will consider two different categories of papers: Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Poster/demo paper should be a 2-page paper following the VNC 2014 paper format (standard IEEE 2-column format and using 10-point font). All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either “Poster:” or “Demo:”. Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. A demo paper submission should include an overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be showcased to the attendees. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, it will be downloaded by the demo co-chairs such that it can be hosted on our website to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will then also be advertised on the conference website. For all accepted demonstration proposals, the demo co-chairs will follow up with the authors to obtain requests for required equipment and/or facilities (power outlets, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc.). Demonstrations may be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background, and the! technical content to be demonstrated. The authors should inform the demo co-chairs if an accompanying poster will be presented. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Different from previous editions of VNC, we will not move papers between submission categories: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers or poster or demo papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. Posters/demo papers are also accepted (more info about submission guidelines at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference CD proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Please note that for every accepted papers, poster or demo paper, at least one person must register for the conference and present the poster or demo. --------------------------------- VENUE --------------------------------- IEEE VNC 2014 will take place at the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum, the world's largest computer museum, located in Paderborn, Germany. The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum is the world’s biggest computer museum as well as a lively event venue.

Despite increased national as well as international effort against cybercrime and the global financial crisis, cybercrime still has double-digit annual growth rates. On the one hand, more and more services and systems migrate to the Internet and cloud storage systems. On the other hand, the commercial success of the Internet and the possibilities to carry out attacks from a relatively safe distance attracts criminals and made e-Crime to a multi-billion dollar market. In addition, recent trends have highlighted that not only end-hosts are the target of attacks, but also the Internet infrastructure itself, with attacks aiming at impeding the functioning of e.g., the Domain Name System (DNS) or Internet backbones. The dramatic trends in attack evolution call upon innovative solutions. Nowadays, detection and mitigation of network attacks are more than ever a must. However, current solutions need to evolve fast in order to cope with new attack scenarios. The goal of this Special Issue is twofold. We encourage, on the one hand, contributions characterizing and measuring emerging network threats; on the other hand we welcome submissions presenting cutting-edge detection and mitigation techniques effective against network attacks and insider activities in today and future small-to-enterprise sized networks and in backbones. Areas of Interest Contributions in the following areas are of specific interest, but not limited to: * Identification and Classification of Attacks * Network Measurements to Understand Cyber-criminal activities * Network Attacks Characterization * Multi-Layer Network Detection * Inter-Domain and Cooperative Detection and Mitigation * Detection in Encrypted Networks * Supervised/Unsupervised Network Detection * Alert and Event Correlation * Visualization of Network Attacks and Alerts * Interaction of Detection Systems and Exchange Formats * Future Trends in Network Detection and Mitigation * Mitigation of Large-Scale Distributed Attacks * Novel Network Measurements and Data Analyses of Internet Malware Submission Guidelines Authors should submit their papers in PDF format only to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nem Paper submissions should not exceed 20 pages (double-space).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE '15) Datum: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:29:53 +1000 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy March 12, 2015 in conjunction with NetSys 2015, Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================= MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage. The scope of the workshop includes contributions that address the integration of energy metering equipment from different manufacturers into a single middleware system which operates on a building level, as well as novel means to collect, process and visualize these data. Accepted papers will not only present novel research results in these domains, but also comprise an evaluation in which their merits are assessed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel energy metering hardware designs and experiences - Data collection and command distribution protocols for energy management systems - Middleware systems for energy data, including novel local data processing algorithms - Control of alternative energy sources to increase their production efficiency - Innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production - Sensing and actuation of electrical loads - Privacy and security in energy management middleware systems - User interfaces for energy display, management and control PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE two-column format. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. More details about the submission process can be found on the website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: Sep. 26th, 2014 Notification: Nov. 17th, 2014 Camera Ready: Dec. 10th, 2014 Workshop: Mar. 12th, 2015 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Matteo Ceriotti, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Alexander De Luca, LMU München, Germany Paul Dunphy, Newcastle University, UK Wilfried Elmenreich, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria Stefan Fischer, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Hannes Frey, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Marco Ortolani, University of Palermo, Italy Oliver Parson, University of Southampton, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Christian Steger, TU Graz, Austria Volker Turau, TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany Sebastian Zöller, TU Darmstadt, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special issue on eHealth in IEEE Systems Journal Datum: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 02:20:05 +0100 Von: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS <Special Issue on “Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems” in IEEE Systems Journal> SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients´ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the “Information for Authors” at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org. In the cover letter, authors should explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the “Special Issue on Communication Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems”.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research - Call for Contributions
by Lars Wolf 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research - Call for Contributions Datum: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:08:26 +0200 Von: James Gross <james.gross(a)EE.KTH.SE> Antwort an: James Gross <james.gross(a)EE.KTH.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ---------------- Call for Contributions ------------------- 2nd European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html ### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to 1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams. To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community. For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to): - Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.) ### Registration ### For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st. Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg(a)ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] . ### Workshop Organization and Program Committee ### - Per Zetterberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - James Gross (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - Patrick Murphy (Mango Communications) - Leif Johansson (National Instruments) - Linda Doyle (Trinity College Dublin) -- James Gross Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Osquldas Väg 10, SE-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46-8-7908819 Web: people.kth.se/~jamesgr/ -- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serve as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE Further nominations pending. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

August 2014 04:18:29 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CARTOON 2014: FINAL Deadline Extension - August 3, 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA October 27, 2014 Co-located with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2014 http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/cartoon/index.html ================================================================================ Important Dates: *FINAL* Submission Deadline: August 3 (23:59 EDT) Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2014 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed/unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 1. August 2014 08:12:23 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Elsevier PMC Journal [IF=1.629] SI on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks" -- Deadline 31 Aug 2014 Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on "Recent Developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-pa… AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- Wireless sensor nodes in traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) use fixed spectrum assignment policy and their performance is limited due to limited processing and communication power. In addition, these wireless sensor nodes require high bandwidth and their QoS requirements are application specific. Wireless sensor nodes with cognitive radio capabilities (i.e., Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs)), can help to address these challenges. However, there are several challenges and research problems which are needed to be addressed in CRSNs. In fact, cognitive radio sensor network evolved from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to optimize the bandwidth and Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of wireless sensor nodes. Furthermore, CRSNs improve the spectrum utilization, and multiple overlaid sensor networks can be deployed in a specific region. But due to inherent hardware and energy limitation of sensor nodes, the realization of incorporating CR capability in sensor nodes imposes challenges. On top of that, CRSN nodes must handle additional challenges incurred by CR functionalities such as spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, and spectrum management. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the domain of Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent developments in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs). The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Spectrum sensing techniques for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) - Spectrum management for CRSNs - MAC protocols for CRSNs - Innovative and cross-layer middleware solutions for CRSNs - Applications of CRSNs (smart grids, vehicular networks, etc) - Delay-sensitive and multimedia communication in CRSNs - Simulation models for CRSNs - Energy efficiency in CRSNs - CRSN architecture: peculiar features and evolution - Deployment strategies of CRSNs - Wireless Body Area Networks in the context of CRSNs - Layers in CRSNs (physical, datalink, network, transport, application) - Developments, issues, and open areas - Coverage and Connectivity of CRSNs - Resource Management in CRSNs - CRSN integration with traditional networking solutions and standards - Future perspective for CRSNs IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------ Manuscript due: 31 Aug 2014 Acceptance notification: Jan 2015 Revised paper due: Mar 2015 Final manuscript due: May 2015 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: * identify and understand problems from a technological, social, medical, and legal as well as financial perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patients’ and practitioners’ needs); * design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, services and applications; and * organizational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. THE CONFERENCE Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing healthcare environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist healthcare professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. PUBLICATION: Authors will be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The acceptance rate was around 30% for Pervasive Health 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Selected papers may be invited for publication in a special issue of the journal Methods of Information in Medicine.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Comms Magazine - “Energy Harvesting Communications” (Deadline Extended to Aug 15)
by Lars Wolf 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Comms Magazine - “Energy Harvesting Communications” (Deadline Extended to Aug 15) Datum: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:25:48 +0000 Von: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” This feature topic will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications. In particular for wireless sensor networks, because of its ultra-low-power operation, such small, wireless, autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power which is scavenged in milli-watts or even micro-watts. If these wireless sensors, which spread throughout a home or factories, in-buildings or even outdoor to monitor all kind of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace and no labour costs associated with replacing them, in other words, self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the ﬂuctuating availability of energy sources. For an overview of the state-of-the-art in energy harvesting communications design, and for a relevant example of an IEEE Communications Magazine article's style and content, please refer to "Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting Communications Systems" by D. Gunduz, K. Stamatiou, N. Michelusi, and M. Zorzi, in IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 210-216, Jan 2014. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply, and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grid allows further efﬁcient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this feature topic is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has signiﬁcant beneﬁts to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This feature topic will focus on energy harvesting related issues in communications. It will also present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the emerging area of energy harvesting communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve a practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. This feature topic solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Energy harvesting base station, access point, and relay; · Energy-efﬁcient and energy harvesting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; · Low-power and energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Characterization of light, thermal, wind, motion, and RF energy harvesting; · Communication protocols for wireless charging networks and systems; · Energy harvesting storage and recycling; · Software-deﬁned networking for energy harvesting communications; · Sustainable network architectures using energy harvesting; · Theoretic approaches and design methodologies; · Testbed and experimental validation; · Energy harvesting for rare events sensing; · Event-powered energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Energy harvesting for industrial and intelligent systems; · Standardization of energy harvesting communications. Note that articles on green communications that do not directly address energy harvesting will be considered out of scope for this feature topic. Please consider directing such articles to the "Green Communications and Computing Networks" Series of IEEE Communications Magazine. Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Submit articles to the "April 2015/Energy Harvesting Communications" category.

Despite significant advancements in the power-efficiency of processors and an increasing awareness of energy among the computing systems research community, it is becoming clear that the energy obstacle can only be overcome with disruptive and unconventional technologies that span the entire hardware and software stack. Foundational work that pushes the limits of energy consumption to the absolute minimum, while sustaining functionality, performance and the familiar user interfaces is essential in this direction. From devices, to new computing algorithms and paradigms, to software, to applications, research should envision a zero-power computing ecosystem replacing the current power-aware computing ecosystem. This vision will raise unprecedented challenges in all functional and non-functional aspects of computing, including performance, resil! ience, accuracy, programability and usability. In this special issue, we seek original work that addresses how disruptive technologies can improve the energy-efficiency of the current computing ecosystem. These technologies may include but are not limited to processor, memory, storage and networking technologies; cooling technologies; and energy harvesting, storage and recycling technologies. Papers should clearly articulate the disruptive aspects of the technology presented and demonstrate pathways to integrate the technology in the hardware & software stack via experimental prototypes or simulation. We solicit papers that span all major computing markets where energy-efficiency is of essence, including sensors, mobile computing, HPC systems and datacenters. Specific topics include, but not limited to, the following topics in Energy Efficiency: • Hardware architecture • Ultra low-voltage processors • Accelerators • Reconfigurable processors • Heterogeneous multicore processors • System-on-chip • Non-volatile memory technologies • Phase Change Memory • Novel router architectures • Novel mobile architectures and devices • System software • Software integration of disruptive technologies • Operating systems • Virtualization • Energy abstractions in languages and programming models • Novel routing protocols • Novel mobile systems • Data center Architecture • System support for energy-harvesting technologies • Cooling technologies • Alternative energy • Alternative infrastructure designs Submission Details: General information for submitting papers to SUSCOM can be found athttp://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/ (please note the “Guide for Authors” link). Submissions to this Special Issue (SI) should be made using Elsevier’s editorial system at the journal website (http://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/, under the “submit paper” link). Please make sure to select the “SI: Disruptive Tech” option for the type of the paper during the submission process. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed using the normal standards of SUSCOM.

Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models. Experiences from deployments and case studies related to the aforementioned subject areas are particularly welcome. The Call for Papers covers (but is not limited to) the areas of: Places of Living and Work * Multimedia pervasive computing for smart environments * E-Health services in smart environments * Smart applications for special user groups (e.g. people with disabilities) * Personalized, transformable urban housing and farming * Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work * Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Mobility Networks: * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of cooperative applications and services, vehicular networking for smart transportation * Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines * Technologies and services for new urban vehicles such as electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. * Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces * Technologies for shared-use vehicle systems * Electronic parking systems Electronic and Social Networks: * New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems * Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities * Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces * The development of exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially acceptable services Urban Analysis and Modeling: * Data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities * Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) * Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities * Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technologies for cities Paper Submission: ------------------------ Authors are invited to submit, via the EDAS system, full papers written in English, with a paper length of 6 printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (overlength are allowed at an extra cost).

A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed nodes with limited resources that can cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions at different locations. Each node is capable of computation, sensing, and communication. Challenges may be exacerbated by the presence of mobile nodes in the network. Such networks may consist of independent and isolated fixed devices that gather environmental data, which may be embedded in urban environments in order to facilitate actuation over managed resources, or may be fixed to and move with the object of interest. Ad hoc networks may exist in environments where there is no pre-existing communications infrastructure, and thereby organize to create their own. Ad hoc networks have been attracting great attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applicati! ons like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. As we move towards a world that connects all things, these issues become ever more relevant. Dynamic topologies, bandwidth constraints, energy constrained operations, wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multi-hop networks. This symposium aims to provide a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” (Deadline Aug 1)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” (Deadline Aug 1) Datum: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 08:50:58 +0000 Von: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” This feature topic will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications. In particular for wireless sensor networks, because of its ultra-low-power operation, such small, wireless, autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power which is scavenged in milli-watts or even micro-watts. If these wireless sensors, which spread throughout a home or factories, in-buildings or even outdoor to monitor all kind of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace and no labour costs associated with replacing them, in other words, self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the ﬂuctuating availability of energy sources. For an overview of the state-of-the-art in energy harvesting communications design, and for a relevant example of an IEEE Communications Magazine article's style and content, please refer to "Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting Communications Systems" by D. Gunduz, K. Stamatiou, N. Michelusi, and M. Zorzi, in IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 210-216, Jan 2014. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply, and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grid allows further efﬁcient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this feature topic is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has signiﬁcant beneﬁts to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This feature topic will focus on energy harvesting related issues in communications. It will also present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the emerging area of energy harvesting communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve a practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. This feature topic solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Energy harvesting base station, access point, and relay; · Energy-efﬁcient and energy harvesting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; · Low-power and energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Characterization of light, thermal, wind, motion, and RF energy harvesting; · Communication protocols for wireless charging networks and systems; · Energy harvesting storage and recycling; · Software-deﬁned networking for energy harvesting communications; · Sustainable network architectures using energy harvesting; · Theoretic approaches and design methodologies; · Testbed and experimental validation; · Energy harvesting for rare events sensing; · Event-powered energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Energy harvesting for industrial and intelligent systems; · Standardization of energy harvesting communications. Note that articles on green communications that do not directly address energy harvesting will be considered out of scope for this feature topic. Please consider directing such articles to the "Green Communications and Computing Networks" Series of IEEE Communications Magazine. Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ICNC 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS - Submission deadline July 31, 2014 Datum: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 02:42:37 -0400 Von: info(a)conf-icnc.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de SPAN 2015 The Second International Workshop on Sensor, Peer-to-peer and SociAl Networks, ICNC 2015 In conjunction with The 2015 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC 2015), Anaheim, CA, USA, February 16-19, 2015 Workshop Date: Monday, February 16th, 2015 URL: http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/ Workshop Paper Submission Link: http://edas.info/N18165 I. Workshop Scope SPAN 2015 aims to attract attention from the research community to the interplay of algorithmic tools and techniques in the collective fields of Sensor, P2P and Social Networks. Smart, wireless, networked sensors will soon be all around us, collectively processing vast amounts of previously unrecorded data to help run factories, optimize farming, monitor the weather and myriad other applications. It is clear that wireless sensor networks will become as important as the Internet, capable of routing application-specific data across a wireless mesh, ad hoc peer-to-peer network in which they organize themselves and assist each other in transmitting data. These advances made in the area of sensor networks will naturally have a profound impact on our understanding and operation of traditional Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems which are widely used in today's Internet. The confluence of ideas driving sensor and P2P systems is expected to be intensified by social networks. By attracting more than h alf a billion users worldwide, social networks provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, as time evolves, P2P and future sensor network applications will necessarily need to involve social information to enhance the users experience. SPAN 2015, aptly named for its goal, is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers working on the intersection of Sensor, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Social Networks to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and SPANning the evolution of this combined body of knowledge. All submissions enabling cross-pollination of ideas on P2P, Sensor and Social Networks related to design, simulation, security, analysis and measurement are welcome. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work in early stages. Topics revolve around the interplay of algorithms, tools and techniques applicable in sensor, p2p and social networks and include, but are not limited to: - Social network analysis techniques applied to P2P, Sensor and distributed computing systems - Socially informed Sensor/P2P infrastructures - Social Network-inspired systems and designs for P2P and Sensor - P2P and Sensor Network-based social networking architectures - Socially Aware Sensor/P2P Overlay architectures and topologies - Evolution of P2P and social communities and systems - Reputation, incentives, and economics in P2P/Sensor/Social systems - Mobile P2P and social networking systems - User behavior analysis and modeling in Social Networks and applications to P2P and Sensor networks - Decentralized Social Networks Applications - Graph theoretic analysis of Sensor, P2P and Social networks - Security, privacy and anonymity issues in SPAN - Policy enforcement, participation incentives, trust, and reputation - Cooperation, incentives, and fairness in SPAN. - P2P, sensor and social network economics Papers accepted for the SPAN 2015 workshop will be, after being presented onsite at the workshop, included in the proceedings to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore and indexing by EI Compendex.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension - July 31 - CARTOON 2014 Datum: Sun, 20 Jul 2014 17:20:01 -0400 Von: Marcelo M. Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo M. Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA October 27, 2014 Co-located with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2014 http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/cartoon/index.html ================================================================================ Important Dates: *NEW* Submission Deadline: July 31 Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2014 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed/unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.
