-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE '15) Datum: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:39:22 +0200 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 ubmission process can be found on the website.

The ecosystem figure presents the general architecture of the IoT ecosystem, where the data coming from the Internet of Things and Smarter Cities is integrated into the Cloud Computing. The presented flow is enabling the interaction between the cloud and the humans, who are starting to be more actives and more participative with the processes that are happening in their cities, workspaces and living areas. The cloud is taking care of the centralization of the data of each sensor and object, allowing them to interact and communicate between them through the creation of a ubiquitous network and solving the interconnection problem. The cloud is also enabling the integration of Big Data analysis in order to reach understandings of behaviors, determination of patterns, and extraction of knowledge from the data. Finally, as a result and the cross integration of all the technologies, a new level of control and feedback mechanisms are being developed in order to enhance the processes. This workshop looks for multidisciplinary works that mixes the IoT with social aspects, IoT with Big Data, IoT with the cloud computing, and IoT as an enabler for Cyber Physical Systems.

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).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IJCS Special Issue on Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Networks with QoS Datum: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:47:17 -0400 Von: Peng-Yong Kong <kongpy(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Peng-Yong Kong <kongpy(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Networks with QoS http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijcs Deadline: July 21, 2014 Nowadays, we are witnessing a huge increase in the number of mobile subscribers, and also the forecast on the telecommunications market assumes an increase per subscriber’s data rate and the roll out of additional base stations for next generation mobile networks. An undesired consequence is the growth of wireless networks’ energy consumption that will cause an increase of the global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and impose more and more challenging operational costs for operators. This has initiated the need to innovate in the field of energy efficient communications, as wireless network infrastructures as a whole have contributed a significant portion of the total carbon emission of a telecommunication system. As such, wireless networks can play an important role in helping to alleviate the global warming. Various energy efficient networking technologies can be designed to reduce power consumption. However, the effort of saving power and energy must not affect the service quality perceived by a user. It is a major challenge to be able to reduce power consumption and maintain good service quality at the same time. This special issue is devoted to the recent progress on the advanced wireless networking technologies to achieve energy efficiency without compromising quality of service (QoS). We are particularly interested in wireless cellular networks, but innovative and novel works in other types of communication networks are also invited. Original major contributions on the design, analysis, implementation, demonstration, application and standardization of energy efficient wireless networking technologies with QoS will be considered for this special issue. By gathering the relevant cutting edge works, this special issue will identify the unique challenges and the efficient solutions in the area of energy efficient wireless networks with QoS. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Green wireless network architecture design - QoS aware energy efficient communication protocols and power management - Energy efficient QoS routing protocols - Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency and QoS - QoS aware energy efficient MAC protocols - Energy efficiency in Internet of Things - Energy efficiency and QoS in the backhaul network - QoS in heterogeneous wireless networks - QoS schemes in green wireless networks - Algorithms for QoS aware energy efficient scheduling and resource management - Cross-layer energy efficiency optimization - Cooperation for energy efficiency with QoS provision - Security in green mobile communication networks - Power efficient operation in multi-hop wireless networks - Energy efficient network selection - QoS Power control in multi-hop wireless networks - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency and QoS - Managing tradeoffs between energy efficiency and QoS - Cooperative green communications with QoS - Managing tradeoffs between energy efficiency and QoS - Self-organized network algorithms for energy efficiency and QoS - Energy efficient signal processing for wireless communications - Energy efficient and QoS dynamic network reconfiguration - Cognitive techniques to control networking energy efficiency and QoS - Optimization of energy efficient networking - Energy harvesting techniques and strategies - Power and energy consumption models for QoS aware wireless communications - User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure - Future of green wireless multimedia networks Instructions for Manuscripts Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: IEEE Communication Magazine - Feature Topic on Wireless Physical Layer Security Datum: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 08:17:04 -0400 Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless Physical Layer Security The security of communication systems is continuously facing new challenges as people become increasingly dependent on wireless technologies for the transmission of private data, such as Internet banking using a wireless access point or mobile payments via a device-to-device link. Despite the convenience of wireless networks, the broadcast nature of the wireless medium makes it vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks from unauthorized or even adversarial users. The challenging problem of secure wireless communication has already drawn significant attention from various research communities in communications, signal processing, and cyber-security. These research efforts have culminated in tremendous improvements in existing cryptographic techniques and, more importantly, in the introduction of a new security paradigm for wireless networks, termed as physical layer security. Physical layer security is the first security solution that focuses on exploiting the physical layer properties of the wireless channels, such as multi-path fading and interference, to protect the confidential information transmission against eavesdropping. It can also nicely complement current cryptographic techniques as the two approaches operate in different domains: one protects the communication phase while the other protects the data processing after the communication phase. In addition, physical layer security techniques can also be adopted for secret key generation and distribution, by exploiting the rich randomness and dynamics available in the wireless medium. This IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic aims to gather state-of-the-art contributions that can provide a timely and comprehensive overview of the current research and development of this emerging security technique, as well as the challenges and opportunities for its practical implementation in current and future wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following categories: - Information-theoretic limits of physical layer security; - Practical code designs for achieving near-optimal physical layer security performance; - Signal processing for secrecy enhancements; - Coordinated or distributed network-level designs for physical layer security; - Optimization and game-theoretic techniques for enhancing wireless secrecy; - Secret-key generation and agreement over wireless channels; - Cross-layer security solutions and joint designs of physical layer security and cryptography; - Experimental results on practical implementations of physical layer security techniques.

Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Paper: MiSeNet'14 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 19:13:13 +0100 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The Third Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (MiSeNet 2014) In conjunction with IEEE MASS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during October 28-30, 2014. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2014.h… Call for Papers Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 2014 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. MiSeNet 2014 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 2014 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. MiSeNet 2014 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to MiSeNet 2014 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications General Chair - Stephan Olariu (Old Dominion University, USA) Program Chair - Xiuzhen Cheng (The George Washington University, USA) Steering Committee - Tom La Porta (Chair) (Penn State University, USA) - Tarek F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Consumer Communications Series CFP Datum: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 14:13:52 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)CS.STIR.AC.UK> Antwort an: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)CS.STIR.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Call for Papers for the December 2014 Issue Submission Deadline: 31 July 2014 http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommagccnserie… Perhaps, one of the biggest drivers for the many technological advances we see today is the need for faster and more reliable communications. Emerging applications of such faster and more reliable communications technologies include home entertainment, high-quality visual communication applications, massive multi-player gaming, and personal, body-area and sensor networking. Some of these applications will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content generation, manipulation and distribution. For example, TV content (including both non-premium and premium) can now be viewed wherever we are and on any connected device - a concept called TV Everywhere. Another example is high-definition video telephony/conferencing and collaboration over smart connected TV sets. These are all made possible by networking, software and middleware that provide ease of use, security and stunning interactivity to the consumers. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide-area communications via cellular or satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces, we see automobile functionality being extended, blurring the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking articles that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Particular topics of interest include: * Emerging wireless technologies for consumer networking * Pervasive computing and contextual systems in consumer communications * Architecture, platforms and protocols for consumer communications, networked games and virtual worlds * Middleware for networked consumer devices * Media and device adaptation * Social networking and its impact on consumer communications * Home and networked entertainment * Home networking and automation Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communication technologies community. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. Please submit your article in the PDF format by the submission deadline via the Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, go to the Author Center and select the topic "Consumer Communications and Networking Series." Schedule for Submissions The next edition of the series will be published in the December 2014 issue of IEEE Communications Magazine.

IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking and Control for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2014 Austin, Texas, USA WORKSHOP DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2014 PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JULY 15, 2014 (*** FIRM ***) WEBSITE: www.wi-uav.org The 5th International IEEE workshop on Wireless Networking and Control for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (Wi-UAV 2014, www.wi-uav.org), co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Global Communications (GLOBECOM 2014), will be held in Austin, Texas, USA on December 12, 2014. The workshop is the interdisciplinary platform to bring together robotics and communications. You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the area of networking and control solutions for unmanned autonomous systems. The *FIRM* deadline for submission via the EDAS system is: July 15, 2014. Aims and Scope: Unmanned autonomous systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments: e.g. aerial sensor systems, ground-based robotics, space and underwater applications. In order to fulfill particularly challenging tasks, visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. The corresponding wireless networks need to provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links for the behavior management of the unmanned vehicles as well as data links to transfer telemetry and sensor data. At the same time, unmanned vehicles offer the capability to provide ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to facilitate temporary hot spots and compensate network outages in case of public events and emergencies. This fifth edition of the workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research projects on new communications networks enabling the efficient control of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater and in space scenarios. Contributions addressing heterogeneous scenarios, e.g. combination of aerial and underwater devices are highly welcome. Topics: - Communication architectures and protocols for unmanned autonomous vehicles communication in challenging environments: air, underwater, etc., indoor/outdoor - Ad-hoc networking, routing, handover and meshing * Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles - Localization and vision based sense-and-avoid * Interfaces and cross platform communication - Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities and swarming - Communication and system design - Mini / Micro UAVs and enhanced Health Management - Use of civilian networks for UVs communication - Mission control centers and backend communication - Advances in remote sensing: miniaturization, low-weight and energy efficient communication - QoS mechanisms and performance evaluation - Advances in antenna design and MIMO systems - Interworking with satellites and terrestrial communication - Air traffic control and spectrum regulation - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations Key Note The Wi-UAV has a tradition of distinguished key note speakers (see www.wi-uav-org). We are proud that this year Prof. Gregory Huff, Electromagnetics and Microwave Laboratory, Texas A&M University, has agreed to give a keynote talk on innovative, reconfigurable antenna designs for UAVs. Best Student Paper Award (NEW!) The best of all submitted student papers will be distinguished with a Best Student Paper Award.

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.

Andreas Gehe ============================ CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS ============================ === 1st KuVS Workshop on Anticipatory Networks === * September 29-30, 2014, Stuttgart, Germany * Submission deadline (extended): July 15, 2014 * Further information: <https://www.cs.uni-paderborn.de/index.php?id=38322> === Overview === Anticipation is a promising new approach for designing telecommunication net- works. By predicting and adapting to upcoming events an anticipatory network can highly improve operation quality and efficiency. Driven by the increasing cap- abilities of "smart" handsets as well as by the recent progress in machine learning and context-aware optimization, anticipatory adaptation receives more and more attention by researchers in industry and academia. While early results show the high potential of anticipation for specific scenarios, many theoretical and practical questions remain. This workshop aims to consolidate the view on Anticipatory Networks, to define promising research directions, and to connect researchers in the field. While current research has considered anticipation mostly in a wireless context, we encourage discussions about applications in other systems as well, e.g., data centers and backhauls. Researchers, scientists and engineers from industry and academia are cordially invited to present their work. === Topics === Suggested topics include but are not limited to: * Models, bounds, and techniques for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * Algorithms and protocols for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * System architectures for anticipatory networks, both conceptual and legacy integration * Methods for anticipatory adaptation and optimization, e.g., from machine learning, data mining, optimization, and signal processing * Methods and approaches for predicting channel characteristics, user mobility, user behavior, application demands, and traffic requirements * New uses of Smartphone sensors and network statistics for anticipation and adaptation * Use cases, practical examples, and experimental results for anticipatory net- working === Submission Guideline === Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract with a maximum of 3 pages in IEEE Conference Style, US Letter format. The abstract should be written in English and submitted as a PDF file to <kuvs-anticipatory(a)uni-paderborn.de>. The extended abstracts will be made available as a collection on arXiv.org. * Submission deadline (extended): July 15, 2014 * Notification of acceptance: August 12, 2014 * Final Abstract submission: September 1, 2014 === Organization === The event will take place from September 29 to 30, 2014 at the Alcatel-Lucent Campus in Stuttgart, Germany.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] ACM CCS Workshop on Cyber Security Analytics and Automation -- CFP Datum: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 07:45:30 +0000 Von: Al-Shaer, Ehab <ealshaer(a)UNCC.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Cyber Security Analytics and Automation – SafeConfig 2014 (Collocated with ACM CCS 2014) The Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, November 3, 2014 IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript Submission: July 18, 2014 Review Notification: August 25, 2014 Camera Ready: September 5, 2014 Conference Dates: November 3, 2014 Ensuring correctness and integrity of system configurations and associated policies are key to proper functioning, accessibility, security, privacy and resilience of modern information systems and services. However, this is a daunting in large enterprise systems that may contain millions of physical and/or virtual components that must be properly configured and secured from unauthorized access. Furthermore, the configuration variables often have explicit or hidden interdependencies that must be understood in order to ensure proper end to end behavior. The new sophisticated cyber security threats demand new security techniques and approaches that offer proactive, intelligent and a holistic security analytics based on analyzing the system artifacts including system traces, configurations, logs, incident reports, alarms and network traffic. Scalable analytics techniques are essential to handle large volumes of data and to normalize, model, integrate, analyze and respond to threats in real time. As the current technology moves toward "smart" cyber infrastructure and open networking platforms (e.g. OpenFlow and virtual computing) and integration of large variety of sensors, the need for large-scale security analytics and automation becomes essential to enable intelligent response, automated defense, and network resilience and agility. This workshop offers a unique opportunity by bringing together researchers from academia, industry as well as government agencies to discuss the challenges listed above, to exchange experiences, and to propose joint plans for promoting research and development in this area.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications”
by Lars Wolf 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” Datum: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 09:11:34 +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. Important Dates Manuscript Submission: 01-August, 2014 Notiﬁcation of Acceptance: 01-November, 2014 Final Manuscript: 01-February, 2015 Publication: April 2015 Guest Editors Chau Yuen, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore (yuenchau(a)sutd.edu.sg<mailto:yuenchau@sutd.edu.sg>) Lei Shu, Guangdong University of Petrochemical University, China (lei.shu(a)lab.gdupt.edu.cn<mailto:lei.shu@lab.gdupt.edu.cn>) Maged Elkashlan, Queen Mary University of London, UK (maged.elkashlan(a)qmul.ac.uk<mailto:maged.elkashlan@qmul.ac.uk>) Yi Qian, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA (yqian(a)ieee.org<mailto:yqian@ieee.org>) Trung Q.

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.

Cities can be viewed as a microcosm of "objects" with which citizens interact daily: street furniture, public buildings, transportation, monuments, public lighting and much more. Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city's status occurs through sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being "smart", connected to the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with the external environment, interacting and sharing data and information. Each object in the IoT can be both the collector and distributor of information regarding mobility, energy consumption, air pollu tion as well as potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence, cyber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city. New services can be deployed when needed and evaluation mechanisms will be set up to assess the health and success of a smart city. The aim of this workshop is to bring together innovative developments in areas related to sensors and smart cities, including but not limited to: - computing and sensing infrastructures - cost (of node, energy, development, deployment, maintenance) - communication (security, resilience, low energy) - adaptability (to environment, energy, faults) - data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data) - self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration) - deployment (cost, error prevention, localization) - maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs) - applications (both new and enjoying new life) - smart users experience - trust and privacy - crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, participatory sensing - cognition and awareness - cyber-physical systems Both review articles and original research papers relating to sensors and smart cities are solicited. There is particular interest for papers with advances towards practical experiences and services overcoming the adoption barriers for sensors and smart cities. Best papers presented at the workshop will be selected and proposed to be published in a Special issue of Sensors by MDPI on "Sensors and Smart cities" scheduled for February 2015. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages with a font size of 10 using the IEEE conference template. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manuscripts in PDF format via EDAS. Please, note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings.

The interplay between this multitude of connecting entities creates a complex system with dynamic human, material, and digital flows. By 2050 the world’s urban population is expected to grow by 72%. This steep growth creates an unprecedented urge for understanding cities to enable planning for the future societal, economical and environmental well being of their citizens. The increasing deployments of Internet of Thing (IoT) technologies and the rise of so-called “Sensored Cities” are opening up new avenues of research opportunities towards that future. Although, there have been a number of deployment of diverse IoT systems in the urban space, our understanding of these systems and their implications has just scratched the surface. Urb-IoT 2014 is a new and exciting conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities. The conference solicits original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, researchers, designers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry, and promises to offer a perfect forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices primarily in the area of: * Citizen Awareness and Engagement: Methods and studies for citizen involvement through participatory sensing or crowd-sourcing for urban tasks, as well as behavioural change of the citizen through awareness. * Urban Analytics: Understanding the massive digital traces created by IoT in the urban landscape through big data analytics. * IoT Applications and Services in Urban Context: Urban technologies and applications that challenge the state of the art and benefit citizens, decision and policy makers, and urban planners.

Significant achievements were made for the traditional mobility support but new network initiatives such as Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, and Information Centric Networking are emerging that all require mobility aware design and development for architecture, protocol, and service. Continued efforts for mobility support must progress so that such network initiatives are successfully arrived safe. For the 3GPP evolved packet core, developments of the distributed IP mobility aware architecture and protocol are urgent while network functions virtualization with mobility support is being considered as a cost effective strategy for building the next generation cellular network integrated with the Internet. Communications of things also require mobility support as the things are moving devices themselves or devices attached to human beings. Mobility support is even one of core research issues in Information Centric Networking and yet small steps were made toward an envisioned content distribution architecture. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the academia and industry working on different aspects but related to mobility aware computing to highlight the state-of-art research on mobility support for Future Internet, exchange ideas, and explore new directions. Research results containing detailed descriptions of architecture and protocol operations for mobility support in Future Internet are highly welcome. The workshop will be a half-day workshop in conjunction with the third IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2014), Shanghai, China, 13-15 October, 2014. Topics of Interest: * Distributed IP mobility aware architecture and protocol for the 3GPP evolved packet core * Mobility aware network functions virtualization for the 3GPP evolved packet core * Mobility aware architecture, protocol, and service for Internet of Things/Everything * Mobility aware architecture, protocol, and service for Information Centric Networking * Mobility modeling of human, sensor, and device * Security design and operation for mobility aware architecture, protocol, and service * Performance modeling and analysis of mobility aware architecture, protocol, and service Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers by the deadline of 10th July 2014.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Paper: MiSeNet'14 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 08:02:07 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The Third Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (MiSeNet 2014) In conjunction with IEEE MASS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during October 28-30, 2014. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2014.h… Call for Papers Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 2014 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. MiSeNet 2014 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 2014 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. MiSeNet 2014 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to MiSeNet 2014 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications General Chair - Stephan Olariu (Old Dominion University, USA) Program Chair - Xiuzhen Cheng (The George Washington University, USA) Steering Committee - Tarek F.

Juni 2014 07:28:53 MESZ An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: ICNC 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS 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 user�s 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] Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) - Co-located with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:43:33 -0400 Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, USA October 28 - 30, 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 ================================================================================ 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 Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31 Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): deadline extension Datum: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:08:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi<chants14_publicity(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* Due to numerous requests, we have decided to extend the CHANTS deadline by a few days. *** Please note that CHANTS welcomes submissions for both regular papers and demonstration papers. The full details are in the CFP below. *** ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ ******* DEADLINE EXTENSION ******* ******* Papers registration: June 11th ******* ******* Papers submission: June 15th ******* SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.
