-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. April 2014 19:18:56 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to April 30- CFP: COMCOM special issue on mobile social sensing *Call for Papers:* *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: April 30, 2014 (extended) 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Tccc] CFP: IEEE ICNP 2014 Call For Papers Datum: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 12:59:52 +0000 Von: James Martin <JMARTY(a)CLEMSON.EDU> Antwort an: James Martin <JMARTY(a)CLEMSON.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************************** The 22nd IEEE International Conference on Network Protocol The Research Triangle, North Carolina October 21-24, 2014 http://icnp14.cs.unc.edu/ ****************************************************************************** The IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) is a premier conference on computer networks and network protocols. The conference scope includes all areas of computer networks and network protocols. Topics of interests include but are not limited to: *Network protocol design, specification, verification, and analysis *Software defined networking *Network protocol implementation, testing, and measurement *Network management *Protocols for specific applications *Traffic engineering *Network architectures and high performance algorithms *Network virtualization *Measurement, simulation, and modeling of operational networks *Multicast, broadcast, and anycast *Fault-tolerance, survivability, and troubleshooting of networking systems *Network security and privacy *Peer to peer, overlay, and content distribution networks *Cross-layer design and optimization *Resource allocation, management, Quality of Service *Enterprise networks *Wireless, RFID, mobile, ad-hoc, vehicular, and sensor networks *Cloud computing *Operating system and host support for networking *Information centric networking *Networking issues for emerging applications *Energy aware networking *Routing, switching, and addressing *Online social networks *Datacenter and storage area networks *Network economics This year, ICNP solicits two types of papers: regular papers of at most 12 pages each, and concise papers of at most 6 pages each. A regular paper describes an important research project that has been completed, whereas a concise paper describes a significant contribution in a research project that may still be in progress. Thus, the completed version of any concise paper can be submitted and published in another venue at a later year. Regular papers and concise papers will have different submission and notification deadlines and they will be reviewed by different sets of TPC members. Submission policy for both regular and concise papers: 1. All papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer conference paper format (IEEEtran.cls) and the font size should be no smaller than 10 pt. 2. ICNP uses a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity; acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review. Note that double-blind violations are sometimes not discovered until well into the review process, so authors are strongly advised to heed the above requirements at submission time. 3. Authors need to indicate in their submissions all TPC members with whom they have conflicts of interest. An author and a TPC member have a conflict of interest if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) They are currently employed at the same institution, or they have been employed at the same institution within the last 12 months, or they are going to be employment at the same institution within the next 6 months. (2) The author and the TPC member had an advisor-advisee relationship. (3) The author and the TPC member have collaborated on a project, a publication, or a grant proposal within the past 4 years. (4) The author and the TPC member have family relationship or are close personal friend. Authors should not improperly identify TPC members as conflicts to avoid individuals who might review their papers. 4. At least one author of an accepted paper, whether regular or concise, is expected to register at the full rate of the conference and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE digital library. Papers not presented by an author at the conference will not appear in the IEEE digital library. Integrity policy for both regular and concise papers: ICNP strictly enforces the following integrity policies. Authors violating these policies will cause their submissions to be rejected without review. Furthermore, ICNP may take action against individuals who have engaged in such violation; example actions include, but are not limited to, contacting the institutions of the authors and publicizing the details of the case. 1. Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. 2. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions. Important dates for regular papers: Paper Submission May 9, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Acceptance Notification July 4, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Camera Ready Version Aug 15, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Important dates for concise papers: Paper Submission May 23, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Acceptance Notification July 4, 2014, 11:59 PM EST Camera Ready Version Aug 15, 2014, 11:59 PM EST General Chairs: Jasleen Kaur, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Program Chairs: Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas at Austin, USA Alex Liu, Michigan State University, USA Steering Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA Ken Calvert (Chair), University of Kentucky, USA Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University, USA Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas at Austin, USA Timothy G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT'14 Datum: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 11:37:12 -0400 Von: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> Antwort an: Emmanuel Lochin <emmanuel.lochin(a)ISAE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers The ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT conference travels to another continent to complete its first decade as one of the major forums for presentations and discussions of novel computing technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The goal of the conference is to foster technical interactions among members of computer and communication networks research at large through a single track program promoting their most promising works. This new installment of the conference is proudly committed to the three values that made the conference successful for nearly ten years: Recognizing farsighted excellence, by selectively choosing papers with substantial novelty and research contribution. Promoting a broad definition of networking research, by welcoming submissions based on implementation and experimentation as well as theoretical analysis. Assuring authors of submitted papers a fair and thorough review process, with sound and detailed feedback guaranteed to each submissions in proportion of its scientific merit and potential. Scope The Program Committee of ACM CoNEXT seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer and communication networks. We especially encour- age submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies and new insights made possible using analysis or computing concepts rarely found among networking researchers. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking research including : Networking aspects of mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures Network control and management, including datacenter, enterprise and SDN Security and privacy aspects of computer networks and protocols Theory and performance analysis of networking architectures and applications Novel application of other fields to computer networking We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends and potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We invite the authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. These should be clearly substantiated and explained. Submission Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page. The committee encourages substantiated results with a succinct presentation. All papers will be part of a single track. More details will be provided on the format of the papers closer to the submission date. The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program committee members. This year, in an effort to inform judgment on the selection of presented papers, the PC will organize a rolling early feedback phase. During that time, and before review are completed, PC members are able to request authors for clarifications, typically on assumptions made and results obtained. Authors of submitted papers who receive such a request have the non mandatory option to answer that request within a week. We encourage this interaction espe- cially to give a chance to a minority of ”controversial” papers that could be of special interest to our community, but raises important concerns that need to be addressed. Publication The proceedings of the conference will be published by the ACM.

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 conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities. The goal of the conference is to solicit original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, designers, researchers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry. Bringing together practitioners and researchers to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, Urb-IoT 2014 seeks multi-disciplinary contributions 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. Topics ====== Topics are themed by urban space and include, but are not limited to: Monitoring the pulse of the city Fusion of heterogeneous urban sources Understanding urban data using machine learning and mining techniques Visual analytics of urban data City as a platform Participatory and crowd sourcing techniques Incentification and gamification Citizen and crowd influence and behavioural change Data-driven urban planning and design Crowd behaviour capturing and modelling Urban mobility and intelligent transportation systems Smart cities Real time urban information systems Context awareness in urban systems Privacy and data protection Submissions =========== All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee with the appropriate expertise. At least two members of the Program Committee and a set of external expert reviewers will review submitted papers. At a PC meeting, the committee will select the papers to be presented at Urb-IoT 2014. Research contributions will be selected on the basis of novelty, technical merit, and a clear presentation. Submissions must clearly articulate how they relate to solve a particular problem in the scope of urban spaces. Contributions describing the role of IoT in understanding urban dynamics as well as real world systems in sensing and interpreting city scale signal are particularly of interest.

Novel VANET-enabled active safety automotive applications are heavily dependent on reliability and security of underlying inter-vehicle communication protocols. The error-prone nature of the wireless channel and its openness to external invasions as well as dynamic VANET environment, impose the need for intensive studies before applications like platooning or collision avoidance can become a part of our daily life. The aim of this special issue is to encompass research advances in all areas of reliability and security in VANETs. We welcome contributions relating to novel protocols for reliable and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication as well as methods for their performance evaluation. This special issue intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to share their novel research results. Topics of interest (include but are not limited to) ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Quality of service in VANETs and cross-layer optimization - Safety-critical inter-vehicle communications - Availability, performability, and survivability - IEEE 802.11p/1609 protocols - Performance evaluation methods and tools - Field monitoring and measurement - Misbehavior detection and mitigation in VANETs - Intrusion tolerance and attack models in VANETs - Privacy-enhancing technologies for vehicular communication systems - Cryptographic protocols and algorithms, and their security - System architecture and design for reliable and secure VANETs - Mobile cloud computing enabled reliability and security for VANETs - Information-centric networking (ICN) reliability and security support for VANETs Guest Editors ------------------- - Xiaomin Ma, Oral Roberts University, USA - Dijiang Huang, Arizona State University, USA - Alexey Vinel, Halmstad University, Sweden Important Dates ----------------------- - Manuscript submission deadline: June 30th, 2014 - First notification date: August 15th, 2014 - Expected publication date: Nov/Dec 2014 Submission Procedure ------------------------------- Papers submitted to this special issue for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference. TDSC requires meaningful technical novelty in submissions that extend previously published conference papers. Extension beyond the conference version(s) is not simply a matter of length. Thus, expanded motivation, expanded discussion of related work, variants of previously reported algorithms, incremental additional experiments/simulations, may provide additional length but will fall below the line for proceeding with review.

Third IEEE Workshop on Telecom Standards - From Research to Standards (@Globecom 2014)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE Workshop on Telecommunication Standards: "From Research to Standards" Part of IEEE Globecom Dec. 8-12, 2014, Austin, Texas, USA The workshop's BEST PAPERS will be recommended for publication at the IEEE Communications Magazine's supplement on Communications Standards. Recommended papers have to follow the submission guidelines of IEEE Communications Magazine. The emergence of nearly-ubiquitous mobile broadband connectivity is revolutionizing the way people live, work, interact, and socialize. Telecommunications are at the heart of this social revolution and have been attracting ever-increasing attention from researchers in both academia and industry. Although both communities have been making outstanding contributions to communications, frequently, one of these communities is unaware of the capacities, expertise, and challenges faced by the other. Standards are keys for the success of the communications industry, as enablers of global systems inter-operability. Moreover, since standardization is inherently a social body, it is a perfect environment for promoting technologies that will evolve an increasingly information oriented society. Building on the success of the previous editions of the workshop, the goal of this event is to close the gap between researchers, scientists, and standards experts from both academia and industry, and to promote standardization as an imperative vehicle for global consensus and cooperation among the key players, especially on the development of next-generation mobile communications systems (5G). An additional goal is to assemble experts from different standardization bodies, providing opportunities for a closer understanding and collaboration, catalyzing development of more interoperable standards, as well as more efficient and effective communication systems. The workshop will be organized in Austin, Texas, as part of IEEE Globecom 2014. The workshop will deliver high quality technical as well as visionary papers, which will be reviewed and selected by an international technical program committee (TPC) representing both academia and industry, with a strong standardization background. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, enhancements to existing systems and communication protocols developed by standards bodies such as ITU-T, IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, TISPAN, ETSI, OMA, Broadband Forum, oneM2M, among others. Visionary papers on hot topics, such as Advanced 5G Network Infrastructure, Software Defined Networks and Services, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and other works in progress being currently discussed by the standardization bodies are also welcome. All submissions are required to comply with Globecom’s guidelines. Initial submissions for review are limited to seven (7) pages. Camera-ready papers should not exceed six (6) pages including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge). Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the co-authors. Only timely submissions through EDAS will be accepted for review. Accepted papers will appear in IEEE Xplore.

The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution.?The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate "Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware for IoT - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at:http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.….

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Rute Sofia <rute.sofia(a)ULUSOFONA.PT> Gesendet: 19. März 2014 13:04:32 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services Series - NEW submission deadline: March 31st 2014 /(Apologies for eventual mail duplicates) / / / */IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services/* /User-centric networks (UCNs)/ are a recent architectural trend of self-organizing, autonomic networks where the Internet end-user cooperates by sharing network services and resources. UCNs are spontaneous and grassroots deployments of wireless architectures (e.g., ad-hoc or infrastructure), often involving low-cost deployment. Furthermore, users in such environments tend to roam frequently. In such roaming environments, users carry equipment that plays an active role in terms of topology changes (e.g., an LTE phone which is sharing Internet access to other surrounding devices, may become active or inactive without operator control). Common to user-centric environments is a social behaviour that heavily impacts network operation from an end-to-end perspective, and on the different layers of the OSI stack. UCNs empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) providing support for better Internet connectivity; iii) allowing the use of communication services even in the absence of reliable Internet access; iv) assisting networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in the end-to-end Internet paradigm, end-user devices will actively participate as a network element in addition to being an endpoint host; ii) network boundaries of trust will need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; and iii) end-user devices should be capable of handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators. There is also the need to further understand wholesale models incorporating UCNs, as well as to understand the impact of UCNs in the context of standardization. This special issue is accepting papers on the topics including, but not limited to, the following: * To promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; * To identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; * To exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):* * Community detection and social interaction * Dynamic trust management models * Cooperation incentive models * Distributed mobility management * Human behavior and mobility prediction * Virtual currency architectures and models * Resource management in spontaneous environments * Cooperative networking * Market impact and analysis of UCN integration * Standardization aspects in regards to UCN topics such as user liability, authentication, and highly efficient WLANs.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> Gesendet: 19. März 2014 14:20:24 MEZ An: Lars C Wolf <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Betreff: [PWSN 2014] PWS2014 @ DCOSS2014 - a few more days for submission Dear Prof. Wolf, Please be informed of the following call for papers, which may fall under your interests: ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2014 6th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2014/ May 28 2014, Marina Del Rey, California, USA In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '14) ========================================================================= Most existing wireless sensor network (WSN) installations have in common that they are not considered time-critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance targets. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- • Communication protocols with deterministic performance • Network resilience, fault tolerance, network survivability • Sensor data quality, integrity, and availability • Performance-aware middleware • Real-time operating systems for sensor networks • Actuation and control • Programming abstractions for deterministic sensor networks • Impact of security features on network performance • Experience with real-world deployments and applications • Performance management of deployed sensor networks • Timely data storage, retrieval, and processing • Performance modelling and performance evaluation • Configuration and installation support • Performance debugging and performance optimization Important dates: ---------------- Paper Submission deadline: March 21, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 7, 2014 Camera Ready Paper: April 14, 2014 Workshop date: May 28, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Konstantinos Psounis - University of Southern California Vasos Vassiliou - University of Cyprus Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

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.

It will enable preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice by applying diverse Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sensors, computing, networking and communication, and can allow the individuals to participate in their own care. Future SCH will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual through replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring and assessment. The development of SCH will play a key role in the modern society to meet the broad goals of medical applications. However, significant challenges still remain in the area. For example, lack of medical baseline data for each particular individual. The IoT technology such as continuous sensing mobile communication can be employed to create individualized baselines. The theme of the special issue (SI) is especially focused on the two major aspects of IoT for SCH: (1) monitoring and assisting individuals utilizing smart systems including sensors, devices, and robotics, (2) an interoperable digital health information infrastructure to increase medical/health information availability and use. The outputs of SCH with IoT could significantly improve a person's outcomes and quality of life. Findings from the SI will provide support for enabling IoT to move the focus from disease to health and wellbeing at the individual, system, and organizational level in many SCH applications. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of IoT for SCH. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Digital Health Information Infrastructure for SCH * Healthcare Applications of Body Area Networks * Communication Protocols and Algorithms for SCH * Medical Sensors, Devices and Robotics * Privacy, Security and Trust of Medical Systems * Computer-Aided Diagnosis * Data To Knowledge To Decisions for SCH * Data Visualization and Intelligent Integration for Decision-Making * Mobile Social Sensing for Wireless Health * Bioimaging * Integrated Systems for Telemedicine * Clinical Practice and Technology Development * Cloud-Assisted Medical Cyber-Physical Systems * Body Area Networks for Sports Applications and Systems * Mobile Computing for Smart Health and Well Being * Nano-Scale Communications and Networking for SCH * Smart Health and Big Data * Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Robustness of Healthcare Systems Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 31th, 2014 First Reviews Due: September 30th, 2014 Revision Due: November 15th, 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: December 15th, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: December 31th, 2014 Publication Date: February, 2015 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Security for IoT.

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.

Fwd: CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 [deadline: March 24]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 [deadline: March 24] Datum: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:39:46 +0000 Von: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 (June 16, 2014) Despite the rapid rise in online activity, people lead much of their lives in the physical world. They travel to places, dwell at various locations, spend time with other people, shop, go to the gym, watch movies, and listen to music or are exposed to announcements, all of which is often based on what interests them. Therefore, there is much to be learnt about users from their physical actions and activities, which is often not manifested in their online activity. Such insights can be of benefit both to users directly and to businesses. While huge strides have been made in online analytics to extract a wealth of information from peoples’ online activities, corresponding work in the physical context — which we term as Physical Analytics — is relatively nascent and scattered. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to have a conversation on Physical Analytics, with a view to coalescing a research agenda for the community. Our intention is keep the scope broad — spanning devices, algorithms, systems, applications, and policy — yet have the discourse be focused on physical analytics. The workshop will include invited talks, a panel, and refereed papers, with as much time devoted to discussion as to the presentations themselves. NEW: Keynote speakers: Dina Katabi (Professor, MIT) and Anmol Madan (Co-Founder/CEO & Data Scientist, Ginger.io) The paper submission instructions are now online. For more information, please visit the workshop website at: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/workshops/physicalanalytics Program Co-Chairs: Deborah Estrin (Cornell Tech, USA) Venkat Padmanabhan (Microsoft Research, India) Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 24, 2014 [11:59 pm PDT] Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Workshop date: June 16, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.
