Hence, recently several mobile augmented reality (AR) applications have been developed e.g. AR-based tourist guiding system. Such applications superimpose computer-generated data such as text, video, graphs on top of the real-world view as captured by a camera embedded within a smartphone. Thus, such applications enhance a userâ€™s perception of reality and of his surrounding environment. Furthermore, mobile augmented reality applications which are designed for children with special needs have recently appeared. In addition, recently researchers have extended robots usage into our daily lives such as search and rescue operations, education, entertainment, special need population e.g. autistic children or seniors. These new mobile augmented reality and robot application domains require close interactions with human beings, smart intelligence to allow smooth visual and audio recognition and some novel interface design. In this workshop, we hope to gather researchers who conduct researches in these two exciting fields to gather and share information on the challenges they face as well as their innovative design. * * *Relevant Topics include (but are not limited to these):* Fundamental design: 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] One month to the deadline: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on "New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks" Datum: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:56:40 +0000 Von: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mamatas, Lefteris <l.mamatas(a)UCL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** Call for Papers Special Issue on New Research Challenges in Mobile, Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks * Deadline: February 17, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… Internet is extending beyond its fixed network infrastructure boundaries by gradually incorporating a wide range of challenging networks and autonomous devices, serving non-traditional user communities, such as space missions, disaster areas, and economically challenged populations. These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, use at least 11pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. * Important Dates * Manuscript Submission: February 17, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 16, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 14, 2014 * Editor in Chief * Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA * Guest Editors * Vassilis Tsaoussidis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. *Topics of Interest* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in road environment * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles *Submission guidelines:* The VTM workshop follows the formatting guidelines of IEEE VTC2014-Spring.

Simultaneous use of LEDs for both lighting and data communications is a sustainable and energy-efficient approach that has the potential to revolutionize how we use light. Besides indoor illumination, LEDs are being widely used in outdoor lighting, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. This makes possible the use of VLC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications which are key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). This workshop aims to provide a scientific forum to discuss the potential of VLC in the context of ITSs and identify the associated problems, challenges, requirements, and research directions. Prospective authors are invited to submit 5-pages, original, unpublished, full technical papers in the following topics of interest, but are not limited to: · Advanced coding and modulation techniques for V2V and V2I communications · MIMO VLC systems for vehicular networks · Multi-hop VLC vehicular networks · Effect of sunlight and ambient noise on vehicular VLC performance · LED pointing, acquisition and tracking · MAC and upper layer protocols for vehicular VLC networks · Centralized and distributed vehicular VLC networks · Navigation and positioning using VLC · VLC-based park assistance · VLC-based vehicle platoons · Advanced driver assistance systems · Vehicular area networks (VANETs) · Integration aspects with public lighting infrastructures · Hybrid RF/VLC vehicular networks · Intelligent transportation systems · VLC for high speed communication with trains · Test beds and field trials Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. Accepted full papers should not exceed 5 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted full papers longer than 5 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page.

Participants are expected to share their views on which new technology enablers are going to be the pillars of the coming 5G mobile and wireless system. Those enablers may be components of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC or upper layers) or new architectural models. It is widely viewed that the future mobile infrastructure will have to cope not only with a quantitative growth of the requirements that we are facing today (higher capacity, data rate, number of connected devices) but also with qualitatively new requirements (higher reliability, larger versatility, application-domain specific topologies) resulting from a broader scope of applications over 5G networks. In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly connected devices in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks. To meet the demands beyond 2020, a system that broadens the use of today's wireless networks is needed. Fundamentally new concepts and design approaches are needed, and these must be integrated into systems that provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at low cost and low energy consumption. This workshop presents a forum for exchange of ideas between all stakeholders. We invite researchers to submit original papers in the following areas: * D2D communication * Machine-type communication/massive machine communication * Ultra-reliable networks and NSPS communication * Moving networks and vehicular-to-anything communication * Ultra-dense deployments * Radio network architectures including beyond cellular * Self-organizing networks and distributed features * Energy efficient networks * Network and massive MIMO * Network coding * Efficient air interfaces (low signaling overhead, energy consumption) * Optimizing radio access * Interference metrics, measurements and management * Millimeter-wave communication * Spectrum measurement and models * Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models * Cognitive radio networks * QoS provisioning and MAC protocol * Trust and security * Experimental prototypes and results related with the above topics *Important Dates:* * Paper Submission : 23 February, 2014 * Author Notification : 14 March, 2014 * Final paper submission : 24 March, 2014 *Paper Submission:* Papers should follow the 2-column IEEE conference template and not exceed 5 pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE IoT Journal - SI on IoV Datum: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:54:59 -0800 Von: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Vehicles (IoV) The new era of Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the evolution of conventional Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANET) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm. According to recent predictions, 25 billion of “things” will be connected to the Internet by 2020 among which vehicles will constitute a significant portion. The difference of the vehicle concept in VANET and IoV makes these two scenarios essentially different in the device, communications, networking, and services aspects. In VANET, a vehicle is mainly considered as a node to disseminate messages among vehicles. In the IoV paradigm, each vehicle is considered as a smart object equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communications technologies, computation units, IP-based connectivity to the Internet and to other vehicles either directly or indirectly. In addition, a vehicle in IoV is envisioned as a multi-communication model, enabling the interactions between intra-vehicle components, vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and road, and vehicles and people. IoV enables the acquistion and processing of large amount of data from versatile geographical areas via intelligent vehicles computing platforms to offer various categories of services for road safety and other services to drivers and passengers. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize IoV. A typical challenge is the big data processing and storage in IoV due to huge number of connected vehicles. Personal cloud and mobile cloud computing are envisioned to play important roles in dealing with the big data. The seamless integration of the social context into IoV is a promising approach as well as an important question to achieve green transport. In addition, the wide penetration of electrical vehicles in the near future will demand a very careful consideration on the intelligent interactions between IoV and the smart grid. Here, the interactions are not limited to the communications and computation, but the power load scheduling within the demand response management framework in the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) network. All these issues are being studied in academics, industries, and standardization organizations. This special issue is seeking original contributions on IoV, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this area and discussing IoV challenges, key enabling techniques, platforms and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): • IoV architectures and services • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communications • V2G efficient demand response management • Vehicle social networks for IoV • Mobile cloud computing for IoV • Efficient big data analysis for IoV • Mobile sensing networking in IoV • Driverless vehicles and supporting technologies • Dynamic spectrum access technologies in IoV • IoV for efficient and green transportation • Urban sensing for environment monitoring • Security, privacy and trust in IoV • Novel applications and business models • Testbed platform and field trials • New network technologies for efficient service provision (e.g., content-centric network) Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: August 1st 2014 Revision Due: September1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 1st 2014 Final Manuscript Due: October 20th 2014 Publication Date: December 2014 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on IoV. Solicited original submissions 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.

Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms – some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up * Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks * Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence * Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks * Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements * QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements * Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers * Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Computer Communications Journal -- extension Feb., 9 -- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities Datum: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 09:05:44 +0100 Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Antwort an: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Computer Communications Journal Manuscript due: February 9, 2014 (extended deadline) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities are technology-intensive cities in which the importance and role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding. ICT plays a key role toward the sustainable development of new urban environments. Buildings with smart sensors and control systems can measure their environment and control it in real time (e.g. HVAC). Smart metering allows a utility company to match its production to the demand, dynamically. An electricity provider can influence both production and demand through the use of smart grid technology. This special issue revolves on the following foundational question: what are the “unique” context characteristics, application and control needs, and traffic/user patterns in existing (and futuristic) smart city scenarios, which require a rethinking of networking and communication technologies and systems, as well as their relevant modeling and dimensioning methodologies? ---------------------------------------------- SCOPE ---------------------------------------------- The scope of this special issue is on purpose kept broad in terms of networking and communication technologies. Rather, perspective contributions are expected to sharply target aspects and requirements which clearly distinguish smart cities from general purpose networking and communication systems. We aim at assembling high quality papers which show how smart cities and sensor-generated traffic uniquely challenge current access and transport technologies and protocols, and bring about compelling solutions to such emerging issues, new modeling insights, new monitoring and control means, and so on. We especially welcome work devised to: • explore how existing technologies and protocols need to be revisited/adapted to fit the urban cities requirements, or, conversely, highlight latest technology shifts or propose new context-specific solutions; • provide experimentally supported models and feedbacks from urban-scale pilot and production deployments; • address emerging new applications and/or new challenges. ---------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------- • Machine to Machine services/patterns and their communication and networking support • Quality of Service, fairness provisioning and Service Level Agreementsfor dense deployments; • Multi-client large-scale networks (fairness, cohabitation) • Privacy for smart-metering (anonymity, presence detection, tracking) • Co-located Networks and inter-technology interference; • Multi-technology networks and inter-operability for the smart grid (e.g. PLC, IEEE 802.15.4, wirelessHART); • Mobile wireless networks for car traffic surveillance and management; • Emerging standards for urban wireless networks; • Experimental network measurements and characterization for urban environments; • Commercial applications, technological choices and success stories; • Prototypes, testbeds and pilot deployments (e.g. smart-metering, smart buildings, public transportation); Submission The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "SpecialIssue: Smart Cities" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------- Manuscript Due: February 9, 2014 First Round of Reviews: April 30, 2014 Revised Paper due: June 15, 2014 Final notification: July 15, 2014 ---------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS ---------------------------------------------- Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, giuseppe.bianchi(a)uniroma2.it V.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - colocated with CPSWEEK Datum: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:23:34 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: lmottola(a)gmail.com <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2013 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2014. Notifications : March 7, 2014. Camera ready : March 15, 2014. Workshop : Apr 13, 2014, at 2pm. Submission Guidelines: We invite to submit short papers in PDF format, of at most 4 pages in length including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, and using a minimum of 10-pt font. Suitable templates are available at the workshop website. Workshop Organizers: Karthik Dantu, University at Buffalo, USA Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano and SICS Swedish ICT Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Program Committee (To be completed): Filippo Arrichiello (UNICAS, Italy) Peter Corke (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) Marco Dorigo (Universite Libre Bruxelles, Belgium) Andrea Gasparri (Universita degli Studi "Roma Tre", Italy) Ramiro Martinez (University of Seville, Spain) Anthony Rowe (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Michael Rubenstein (Harvard, USA) Brian Sadler (ARL, USA)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Yu-Ching Hsu <YuChing(a)ITRI.ORG.TW> Gesendet: Mon Jan 13 02:05:16 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] (extended to Jan. 31) IEEE Wireless Comm. SI on Multihop Cellular The due date is extended to Jan. 31, 2014. IEEE Wireless Communications Feature Topic on "Multi-hop Cellular: From Research to Systems, Standards, and Applications" It has been more than 10 years since the Multi-hop Cellular Networks (MCN) architecture was first proposed in the year 2000. Fundamental researches have demonstrated the benefits of MCN in terms of system capacity, service coverage, and network connectivity. The actual concept behind the MCN architecture could be regarded as “relaying within a cell”, or operating base stations or access points with ad-hoc or mesh networking. This concept also pushed standard bodies to consider their solutions embedded with mesh or ad-hoc architectures, such as IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.16j, and IEEE 802.15.5. Now in the recent standards of 3GPP, ProSe (Proximity-based Services) and GCSE_LTE (Group Communication System Enablers for LTE) related working items also cover the device-to-device (D2D) communications with or without infrastructure. After many researches on protocols and architectures for IEEE series specifications have been done for Single-RAT (Radio Access Technology) MCN based on analytical models and simulations, other issues related to implementation, deployment and operations have emerged. From the 3GPP aspect, many research issues are still pending. For Multi-RAT MCN, further researches have to be done in considering the RAT capabilities of devices. This feature topic would serve as a state-of-the-art snapshot in these exciting developments, including but not limited to: - Design and deployment guidelines for MCN - Implementation and test bed issues for MCN - Power saving in MCN - Cross-layer ID allocation and mapping in MCN - Path switch between direct/infrastructure links in MCN - Discovery and self-organization with ad-hoc networking in MCN - Network management in MCN: privacy, security, routing, and mobility - Resource management in MCN: single/multi radio access technology (RAT) and power control - Group communications in MCN - Multi-hop content sharing in MCN - Ad-hoc networking at the edge of MCN for disaster relief or military operations - New application scenarios in MCN: service models, security, charging, billing - Bandwidth aggregation in multi-RAT MCN - System capacity modeling and analysis for Multi-RAT MCN - Cross-layer, cross-RAT collaborative algorithms in Multi-RAT MCN - Network/RAT selection and multi-homing routing in Multi-RAT MCN Submission With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines.

More than twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. IWQoS 2014 will continue to be a premier symposium on Quality of Service, providing an international forum for presentation and discussin of cutting edge research in the field. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and "green" computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The 2014 edition of the IEEE/ACM IWQoS Symposium will be held on May 26-27 2014 in Hong Kong, China. The scope of IWQoS 2014 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Quality of cloud services and cloud computing Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks Energy awareness in communication systems Design for the Future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Reviewing will be double-blind. Submissions must not reveal the authors' names and their affiliations. In other words, submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. 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. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the symposium as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the symposium (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the symposium.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:41:01 -0700 Von: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers:Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Ubiquitous Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint Scope: The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing Tentative Schedule Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks
by Lars Wolf 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Piotr Cholda <cholda(a)AGH.EDU.PL> Gesendet: Tue Jan 07 17:16:46 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks *Aims and Scope* Society's increasing dependence on communication networks, the Internet and their services is evident from the wide range of activities that use electronic media, from entertainment to critical operations related to commerce, finance and life care. Humanity relies on the Internet to access information, obtain services, manage finances, and communicate with others. Businesses use the Internet to transact commerce with consumers and other businesses. Governments depend on communication networks for their daily operation and service delivery. The military depends on the Global Information Grid to execute network centric operations and warfare. Hence, in addition to transportation-infrastructure, power-generation, and distribution-grid public/private networks, the Internet and other publicly accessible communication networks are today critical infrastructures upon which our lives and prosperity depend. Given this dependence, vulnerabilities of communication networks and the Internet can significantly impact our lives. The dependence on communication networks and the Internet makes them an attractive target for attacks and intrusions attempting to either obtain information or disrupt service of individuals, businesses, government and military. These networks and services are also susceptible to accidents, faults or natural disasters that can disrupt service. Examples of natural disasters that compromised the network infrastructure are the hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. In the face of these difficulties, the need for greater resilience has been recognized for wireline and wireless networks and for the Internet. Resilience has classically been defined as the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults, accidents, attacks and natural disasters. This subject has attracted the attention of researchers, industry and governments around the world. Today, resilience can be considered an essential characteristic in the design and operation of networks to withstand the intrusions described above. Furthermore, we must now expand resilience to include new requirements, such as scalability, dynamic and opportunistic topologies, and global interoperation and interdependence among networks. This feature topic call-for-papers solicits recent, relevant works related to disaster resilience, especially in emerging networks. The main goal is to provide for the *IEEE Communications Magazine *an overview of the state-of-the-art of resilience, and to identify the new challenges from emerging network infrastructures in terms of scalability, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. Works addressing resilience issues in the context of new communication technologies, such as software-defined networks, cognitive radio and emerging optical technologies are of particular interest. *Topics* Articles describing original research and development as well as survey articles related to disaster resilience are solicited. The topics to be covered by this feature topic include, but are not limited to: * Disaster resilience for the following technologies: - LTE, LTE-A, 4G, Small Cells, femto-cells - Heterogeneous wireless networks - Access Networks - Flexible Optical Networks - Overlay and multi-layer networks - Virtualized Networks - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) - Datacenters, Cloud infrastructures, Networks for Big Data - Smart Grids, M2M - Green networks * Disaster resilience approaches coping with: - Mitigation and reconstruction of network infrastructure - Management for post disaster network infrastructure reconstruction - Network infrastructure adaptive capacity - Disaster risk reduction - Risk management and sustainability - Community and social engagement in providing communication infrastructure in disaster situation - Knowledge management and integration - Public policy and governance to build disaster resilient smart cities - Energy efficiency *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible 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 very important to note that the *IEEE Communications Magazine* strongly limits mathematical content, the number of figures and tables, and the number of references. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select “October 2014/Disaster Resilience” as the submission category. *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission Due: February 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2014 Publication: October 2014 *Guest Editors* Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Deep Medhi, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA Robert Doverspike, AT&T Labs Research, USA *Further Information* http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag1014.html ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Gesendet: Tue Jan 07 18:21:13 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014---New deadline! (Sorry for multiple receptions of this e-mail.) *** NEW DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION: JANUARY 30! *** ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS WiNMee 2014 The 10th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements and Experimentations (In conjunction with WiOpt 2014.) ================================================================================ http://www.hanalab.org/wiopt2014/w4-winmee.html SCOPE --------------------------- The explosion of both wireless technologies and applications as well as the increasing number of radios and frequency bands available demand an understanding of in-field performance to design the next generation of wireless systems. Complex channel properties such as multipath, delay spread, and Doppler effects prevent even the most complex channel models from exactly characterizing repeatable in-situ behavior. Abstract models of devices and energy storage, as well as emerging paradigms such as energy harvesting enabled systems, make estimation of system performance and lifetime quite challenging unless supported by field experiments. To better understand the potential of novel paradigms and ideas, it is therefore imperative to evaluate these ideas in the field via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and devices, and by the varying and error-prone wireless channel. Even slight misunderstandings can cause drastic performance differences in various research avenues from cognitive spectral sensing to spatial reuse in large-scale network planning to lifetime and amount of tasks which can be performed by Internet-of-Things devices.

ICTs has been rapidly adopted by tourist businesses and authorities in a bid to gaining advantage over competitors. e-Tourism emerged as a promising revision of the previous business models and initiatives related to tourism, with the advent of web technologies. ‘Mobile tourism’ extended the notion of e-Tourism to meet the vision of tourist services provision to nomadic users with no spatial–temporal restrictions. The recent developments in mobile hardware and software allowed for the provision of a new range of personalized, context-aware services that were not previously feasible. > > Further on, improvements in the area of mobile communications and networking have increased the availability of wireless bandwidth thereby providing new possibilities for exchanging and sharing data among tourists. Smartphones, mobile and wearable sensors, and other portable systems are commonly used to collect and exchange data as well as to infer personal, social and environmental context. Along this line, pervasive technologies open profound opportunities for the tourism industry and have the potential to revolutionize the tourist experience, delivering added-value services to tourists 'on the move'. However, before such applications can be widely deployed and used, several fundamental technical, social and business challenges need to be addressed. > > The proposed SI aims at publishing outstanding articles describing innovative applications and frameworks that enable the use of mobile and pervasive technologies in tourism and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising area of research. We invite research papers as well as papers which address challenges in developing industrial-strength mobile and pervasive applications. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: > • Novel context-aware applications in mobile/pervasive tourism > • Context reasoning and modeling in mobile/pervasive tourism > • Recommender systems in mobile/pervasive tourism > • Augmented and mixed reality applications in mobile tourism > • Pervasive games in tourism > • Novel edutainment applications in mobile/pervasive tourism > • Novel indoors mobile/pervasive tourist applications > • RFID/NFC-based mobile tourism applications > • Travel navigation and assistance applications > • Participatory sensing applications in tourism > • Crowd sourcing in mobile tourism > • Information sharing and social interaction in pervasive tourism > • User-generated content in mobile tourism > • Efficient algorithmic solutions in support of computationally-intensive mobile tourist applications > • Interactive surfaces and walls in support of tourist applications > • HCI issues and interaction models in mobile/pervasive tourist applications > • (Innovative) applications requirements, performance, and benchmarking > • Field trials, user acceptance and evaluation studies > • Security, privacy, fault-tolerance and resiliency in mobile and pervasive tourism > > Important Dates: > Paper submission: 15 Jan 2014 > 1st round notification: 15 April 2014 > Expected publication: Last Quarter 2014 > Guest Editors: > Damianos Gavalas > University of the Aegean, Greece > Email: dgavalas(a)aegean.gr<mailto:dgavalas@aegean.gr> > Maha El Choubassi > American University of Beirut, Lebanon > me87(a)aub.edu.lb<mailto:me87@aub.edu.lb> > Ángel García Crespo > Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain > acrespo(a)ia.uc3m.es<mailto:acrespo@ia.uc3m.es> > Paolo Bellavista > Università di Bologna, Italy > Email: paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it<mailto:paolo.bellavista@unibo.it> > > 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/. > Authors should select “SI: Tourism”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 16:58:18 -0700 Von: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call for Papers:**Computer Communications* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

Dear All, Happy New Year! Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers. ************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on SDN Management and Orchestration (SDNMO) Uniform Management of SDN/ NFV/ PM /MCC/ SDDC (*) environments In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) Krakow, Poland, 9 May 2014 http://clayfour.ee.ucl.ac.uk/sdnmo2014/ http://noms2014.ieee-noms.org (*) SDN /NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC = Software Defined Networks / Network Functions Virtualization/ Programmable Networks / Mobile Cloud Computing / Software Defined Datacenter ************************************************************************************** In the next decade, the technological substrate and the monetary constrains will create a profound transformation of infrastructures for communications and services. The progressive integration of advanced Information Technologies (IT) and Communication Technologies (CT) will create new markets and products opportunities for the industry and new economic drivers for our society. This new paradigm relies extensively on the pervasive exploitation of processing, storage and networking resources: from smart things and devices to machines and vehicles, from radio access to micro-data centers in aggregation networks, from virtual middle-boxes to disaggregated service platforms. This calls for a complete rethinking, restructuring and redesigning of the current end-to-end architecture. Network programmability and dynamic configurability are essential requirements for future carrier networks. Software defined networking (SDN) along with network virtualization is envisaged as one of the key technology enablers for meeting these necessities. Within this framework, in order to fully exploit the potential of network and application virtualization and efficiently handling heterogeneous physical resources, e.g. across network and datacenter domains, network operators need orchestration platforms. Key platform ingredients are algorithms to allocate physical resources to virtual requests and find the optimal location of network functions, IT and CT resources, services and corresponding states, especially at the edge of the network. Equally important are the APIs at the different interfaces between individual resources and their controllers to implement the orchestration functionality. This timely workshop will shed light on the fundamental technology components for SDN management and orchestration, as primary building blocks of the network of the future. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: • Unified management frameworks for SDN/ NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC • Abstractions, architectures and management functions for rapid service deployment in SDN/ NFV/ PM/ MCC/ SDDC environments • Position papers on the bottlenecks and architectural challenges to be resolved for maturing SDN /NFV / PM/ MCC/ SDDC environments • Architectures, functions, interfaces and protocols for efficient management and orchestration • Quality of Network (QoN): QoS/QoE in (future) networks supported by SDN • Orchestration of SDN resources and related virtual requests embedding algorithms • Network abstractions, node and link mapping problem description • Embedding algorithm implementations, solutions for nodes and links mapping problem • SLA composition for virtualized network functions • Auto-X: auto-reconfiguration, auto-monitoring, auto-failure detection and migration in SDN enabled networks • Evaluation Tools and Testbeds Author instructions Complete manuscripts in PDF format must be registered and electronically submitted for peer-review through JEMS (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1812) following the authors´ guideline available athttp://noms2014.ieee-noms.org/content/call-technical-session-papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart Cities (VTM 2014) Datum: Mon, 30 Dec 2013 14:03:01 +0100 Von: Kacimi Rahim <kacimi(a)IRIT.FR> Antwort an: Kacimi Rahim <kacimi(a)IRIT.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart Cities (VTM 2014)* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with*The 2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2014-Spring)*, 18-21 May 2014, Seoul, Korea ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *CALL FOR PAPERS* --------------- The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a plethora of challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the last decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their efforts on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient. Their main goal is to improve the traveler's safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles.

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. *Topics of Interest* ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Vehicular traffic management • Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities • Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments • Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) • Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) • Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments • Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities • Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation • Security and QoS issues for ITS applications • V2X feasibility over LTE networks • M2M communication for data collection in road environment • Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management • Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas • Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management • Decision making tools for road traffic management • Electric vehicles All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the VTM2014 workshop and made available through IEEE Xplore. *Important Dates* --------------- Submission deadline ------ *10 February 2014* Acceptance notification ------ *15 March 2014* Camera-ready version ------ *24 March 2014* *Keynote speakers* ---------------- *Prof. Yacine Ghamri-Doudane*, L3i Lab, University of La Rochelle, France A second keynote speaker will be confirmed later. *Submission guidelines* --------------------- The VTM2014 workshop follows the formatting guidelines of IEEE VTC2014-Spring.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Gesendet: Mon Dec 23 18:47:20 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014 (Sorry for multiple receptions of this e-mail.) ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS WiNMee 2014 The 10th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements and Experimentations (In conjunction with WiOpt 2014.) ================================================================================ http://www.hanalab.org/wiopt2014/w4-winmee.html SCOPE --------------------------- The explosion of both wireless technologies and applications as well as the increasing number of radios and frequency bands available demand an understanding of in-field performance to design the next generation of wireless systems. Complex channel properties such as multipath, delay spread, and Doppler effects prevent even the most complex channel models from exactly characterizing repeatable in-situ behavior. Abstract models of devices and energy storage, as well as emerging paradigms such as energy harvesting enabled systems, make estimation of system performance and lifetime quite challenging unless supported by field experiments. To better understand the potential of novel paradigms and ideas, it is therefore imperative to evaluate these ideas in the field via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and devices, and by the varying and error-prone wireless channel. Even slight misunderstandings can cause drastic performance differences in various research avenues from cognitive spectral sensing to spatial reuse in large-scale network planning to lifetime and amount of tasks which can be performed by Internet-of-Things devices. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2014 is the tenth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production and research wireless networks ? Measurement and characterization of wireless network traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cyber physical and sensing systems ? Experimental validation of network simulators ? Experimental driven mobile social network and mobility models ? Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting ? Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements, including novel measurement techniques ? Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration ? Methodologies for measuring and characterizing heterogeneous wireless networks ? Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing, analyzing and sharing wireless measurement data ? Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems, cyber physical and sensing systems, WLAN and VANET, cellular systems ? Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility; estimation and prediction of energy availability ? Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds ? Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------- The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be in PDF format, written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size), including figures. The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS at http://edas.info/N16027. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website. Please refer to workshop website for details: http://www.hanalab.org/wiopt2014/w4-winmee.html.

Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms – some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up * Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks * Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence * Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks * Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements * QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements * Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers * Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Please see the workshop webpage for further guidelines. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/ Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2013 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2013 Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2013 Workshop date: August 18, 2013 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany -------------------------------------------------------
