Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK 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necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power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.

To investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint is of prime importance. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication and networking systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications! networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the total). The need for �greener� communications and networking technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Springer Mobile Network & Applications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications and networking, which solicits original, unpublished research papers both from academy and industry reporting on substantial results in the green communications and networking area enabling significant future energy savings. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications and networking.

You can find additional information at http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/medhocnet2014 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The 13th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop June 2-4, 2014 Piran, Slovenia http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/medhocnet2014 Important Dates Papers Due: March 3, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: April 7, 2014 Camera-Ready Version due: May 4, 2014 Conference Dates: June 2-4, 2014 Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Submissions are limited to 8 pages in length in Two-Column Format, including references, figures and tables. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site. Overview Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted considerable attention from the research community in the last several years. Now that many of the fundamental topics and challenges have been deeply investigated, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include data-centric operations, autonomous organization, service creation/support, continued operation under intermittent connectivity, optimization, control, cross-layer design and application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, smart cities, energy efficient buildings, sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.). Moreover, novel and exciting challenges are introduced by commercial systems adopting the ad hoc paradigm, from mesh, sensor and vehicular networks, and by associated delay-tolerant and opportunistic scenarios. Furthermore, today's market explosion of smart phones is creating new opportunities for wireless ad hoc social networks, the study of which requires the combination of opportunistic ad hoc networking aspects with the understanding of social behavior and mobility patterns. MED-HOC-NET 2014 focuses on all the ramifications of ad hoc networking research, not only the classic topics of location management, security/privacy, topology optimization/control schemes and resource allocation, but also paying attention to novel emerging areas such as green networking, safety/surveillance, underwater communications, and coexistence among heterogeneous devices. The Workshop is endorsed by the IEEE Communication Society and its Technical Committees for Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Information Infrastructure & Networking, and Radio Communication, and by IFIP. TOPICS Papers are solicited in a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, mesh, delay-tolerant, content-centric and opportunistic networks, including but not limited to -Routing algorithms and protocols -MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation -Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks -Middleware for ad hoc networks -Application driven architectures and protocols -Sensor network applications and protocols -Vehicular networks -Cognitive radio networks -Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks -Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes -Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.) -Self organization and network reconfiguration -Optimization models and algorithms -Resource and service discovery -Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) -Security and privacy -Delay tolerant networks -Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking -Mobile social networks -Security and privacy -Participatory and urban sensing -Underwater wireless networks -Heterogeneous networks -Novel performance measures -Green networking -Cooperative schemes -Network localization -Network secrecy -Networking virtualization -Services based, and enabled by Ad Hoc networks Conference Chairs Fulvio Babich - University of Trieste, Italy Eve Schooler - Intel Labs, USA Technical Program Chairs Andreas Kassler - Karlstads Universitet, Sweden Gustavo Marfia - University of Bologna, Italy Steering Committees Ian F.

The plain text CFP is listed below and for further information visit: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2014/ In addition, please help spread awareness of the conference by tweeting to @ubicomp or using #ubicomp2014, or "liking" our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/ubicompconference Apologies to those of you who have received this message multiple times. Best, Mohit Jain @ IBM Research India UbiComp 2014 Publicity Chair ================================================================== ********************************** Announcement and Call for Papers ********************************** UBICOMP 2014 http://www.ubicomp.org The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing September 13-17, 2014, Seattle (Washington, US) The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2014) invites submissions of papers concerning new research contributions in ubiquitous and pervasive computing. UbiComp is a premier interdisciplinary venue in which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate. Following the successful merger in 2013 of the two most renowned conferences in the field, i.e., Pervasive and (the former) UbiComp, UbiComp 2014 will be held from September 13 to 17 in Seattle, Washington, USA, and as in past years will be collocated with ISWC 2014 (with a single registration fee). UbiComp 2014's papers and notes track welcomes high quality submissions that describe original and unpublished research contributions advancing the frontier of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to: - Systems & infrastructures: descriptions of the design, architecture, deployment, and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support ubiquitous computing - Devices & techniques: descriptions of the design, architecture, usage, and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for ubiquitous computing - Applications & experiences: descriptions of the design and/or empirical study of applications that leverage Ubicomp devices and systems - Methodologies & tools: new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications - Theories & models: critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems A submission (full paper or note) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research and knowledge, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. Authors should write their paper for an interdisciplinary, international audience. All submissions should not have been previously published nor be under concurrent submission for publication for an archival track of any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication that is part of a formal repository (such as the ACM digital library). ***NEW for 2014*** To allow for more complete and fully formatted reference lists, bibliographic references do NOT count toward the page limit of 10 pages for full papers and 4 pages for notes. However, references are limited to 2 total additional pages for full papers and 1 additional page for notes and must still be formatted in the ACM double-column format. Therefore, the maximum total pages for full papers will be 12 pages and 5 pages for notes (with only references allowed on the final pages). *** NEW for 2014 *** UbiComp 2014 will use a relaxed anonymization policy. Author names/affiliations must not appear in the title area of a paper-in-submission, but further anonymization is at the authors' discretion. UbiComp 2014 will continue to include a "revise & resubmit" phase as a part of its submission and review process. While most papers will be accepted or rejected at the program committee meeting, a select number of papers will receive the opportunity to resubmit a substantially revised version of their submission. A detailed meta-review will outline necessary changes, which may include the need for further experiments and/or significant manuscript re-organization. This process allows flawed papers with significant potential a second chance at acceptance. However, note that an invitation to revise and resubmit does not guarantee acceptance. Important Dates for UbiComp 2014 Papers and Notes track: - ***NEW FOR 2014*** Abstract deadline - March 12, 2014, 17:00 PDT (It is mandatory to submit a complete abstract before this hard deadline, though minor changes to the abstract will be permitted) - Paper deadline (submission only permitted if abstract was submitted as above) - March 19, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications (incl. "revise & resubmit" notifications): 8 May, 2014 - Revised papers/notes submission deadline: 4 June, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications for revised submissions: 16 June, 2014 - Camera-ready deadline: 24 June, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 workshops and doctoral consortium: 13-14 September, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 main conference: 15-17 September, 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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Gesendet: Tue Dec 17 16:11:36 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities, January 15 Computer Communications Journal Manuscript due: January 15, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Chang, HTC Corporation Fang-Jing Wu, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Zhenhui Jessie Li, Pennsylvania State University Venue & Dates: May 13, 2014, Tainan, Taiwan Conference Website: http://hscc.cs.nctu.edu.tw/~fangjing/index.html Introduction The massive data streams and diverse modalities of digital information sources being captured at an incredible rate have enriched the confluence of ubiquitous computing, networking technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data mining, machine learning, and data visualization and also boosted many promising applications in environmental sensing, urban mobility, transportation, emergency response, social networks, healthcare, security, and IT infrastructure. However, the captured big data is usually sparsely collected, noisy, incomplete, and untrustworthy. Moreover, the sheer volume of sensor data, as well as its streaming and distributed nature, raises many technical challenges of mobile sensing, data mining, data visualization, and real-world applications. Government organizations, commercial enterprise, and individuals rely on different technologies form conventional wireless sensor platforms to smartphones to collect big sensing data, extract knowledge from the big data, and visualize big data from several perspectives so as to develop the expected applications in pervasive environments. Several successful applications attract not only the research efforts but also the industry investments for big data science. As the big data science involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, the workshop aims at several important research topics, including (1) data sensing : how to collect multi-dimensional and high-quality data effectively, how to collect data without compromising personal privacy, and how to design incentive sensing models which may incorporate participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, cooperative and opportunistic sensing technologies for Novel Applications; (2) data mining : how current data mining, machine learning and knowledge discovery methods can be extended to mining solutions for dealing with real-world problems, how to infer human intentions, recognize activities and extract knowledge from unstructured data, and how to design distributed, parallel, and scalable mining algorithms to handle large, multi-modal, heterogeneous and distributed streams of data; and (3) data visualization : how to visualize heterogeneous streaming data in a real-time way, how to represent data in a more intuitive way, and how to abstract key information to visualize the relationship between data. The 1st workshop on Mobile Sensing, Mining and Visualization for Human Behavior Inference will serve as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in big data science. This workshop encourages authors to develop real-world applications and evaluate their methodologies using the real big datasets and investigate challenging problems based on large-scale deployment in the real world. The topics of interest related to this workshop include, but are not limited to: - Mobile data collection models - Participatory, opportunistic and collaborative sensing - Mining large scale sensor data - Activity recognition and subjective sensing for mobile and pervasive applications - Data mining techniques for real-world pervasive computing applications - Unsupervised methods for discovering interesting patterns - Supervised machine learning methods for analyzing data in pervasive environments - Streaming data visualization - Visual search and recommendation - Big data storytelling using visualization - Scalable parallel visualization methods - Test-beds and real-world deployments - Big data sensing, mining, and visualization applications including cyber intelligence, cyber security, business intelligence, e-commerce, scientific data analysis, education, etc. Submission Guidelines The submitted paper should adhere to the double-blind review policy .

CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** The 5th Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency (E2Nets'14) In conjunction with IEEE Intl. Conference on Communications (ICC'14) Sydney, Australia, June 14, 2014. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Technical sponsorship by IEEE TSCGCC and IEEE TCCN and by iCore and ProFun projects Important Dates *************** Paper Submission Deadline: December 31, 2013 (Extended) Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2014 Camera-Ready Submission: March 15, 2014 Accepted and presented papers will appear in the IEEE ICC workshop proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Submissions to be handled by EDAS at this link: http://edas.info/N16359 Scope ***** With ICT technologies, such as wireless networking, the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M), and cognitive networking, we have the opportunity to detect, prevent, and automate solutions for energy efficiency as well as creating a more sustainable society. However, for this to be a viable option, also the ICT technologies must be energy efficient. Instead of looking at these two problems in silo, we believe in a venue for researchers and practitioners in both these fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements and context can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross- layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Energy efficient Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient algorithms/protocols and their implementations * Energy efficient service discovery and service provisioning * Cognitive techniques to control networking energy efficiency * Optimization of energy efficient networking * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicasting * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting techniques and strategies * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Internet of Things (IoT) for making energy efficient systems * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * ICT systems for a sustainable and green world * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient smart homes and energy monitoring * Applications in smart grids and smart and sustainable cities * Optimization of smart, homes, cities, societies, and networks Tentative Committees ******************** General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada General Co-Chairs * R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks Datum: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:00:19 -0500 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 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/commag/call-for-papers -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Michele Nogueira <<michele AT inf.ufpr.br>> PhD in Computer Science www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities. This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * app and app store security and privacy; * benchmarking and evaluation of mobile security solutions; * bots on mobile devices; * cloud security and privacy, as related to mobile devices; * mobile device forensics; * security and privacy in mobile device operating systems and middleware; * mobile malware collection, statistics, and analysis; * mobile services and social networking security; * reverse engineering and automated analysis of mobile malware; * security for smart payment applications, including near-field communication; * standardization efforts related to developing and vetting mobile apps; * testbeds and case studies for mobile platforms; * traffic monitoring and detection algorithms for mobile platforms; * usability of approaches for mobile security and privacy; * virtualization solutions for mobile security; and * Web browser security on mobile devices. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. The guest editors for this special issue include Ying-Dar Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan (lead: ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw); Chun-Ying Huang, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan (chuang(a)ntou.edu.tw); Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington (mwright(a)cse.uta.edu); and Georgios Kambourakis, University of the Aegean, Samos, Greece (gkamb(a)aegean.gr).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 1st Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK Datum: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 11:22:03 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Call for Papers: The 1st 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. The following templates provide a paper format already compliant with these requirements: 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: 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)

The NOM workshop is particularly interested in Information Centric Network (ICN) advances in support of the mobile and wireless space. Name-oriented network architectures appear very promising for wireless and mobile networks, such as for instance IoT among wireless and mobile devices that could not scale well up till now, home networks among wireless and mobile hand held devices that constitute the majority of end-users devices, wireless sensor networks for smart spaces and vehicular networks which account a large, and exponentially increasing number of devices and connections that clearly suffer from the lack of mobility management in the IP architecture and the lack of an efficient data storage and sharing mean. Moreover, within the context of multimedia and video services and the huge demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content, ICN is promising in offering an alternative or complementing to the proprietary or specialized content distribution mechanisms, such as CDN and P2P systems, and aims for improved content access through general Internet mechanisms for content replication and! dissemination among not only core network devices but also wireless edge network devices and wireless and mobile end-users devices. We encourage submissions of high quality technical papers on mobile and wireless ICN work in the following topics: - ICN mobile/wireless architectures and platforms - Compelling applications and services for ICN for wireless and mobile networks (IoT, smart environments, home networks, ……) - ICN deployment models for wireless and mobile networks (Clean-slate, evolutionary, …) - Technical deployment of ICN into operational networks (specialized hardware ICN routers, ICN software into virtualized nodes, etc.) - ICN scalability to high density network deployments (e.g. for IoT applications) - Impact of ICN on mobile/wireless protocols and systems - Mobility management in ICN considering multiple radio technologies - ICN support for seamless and simultaneous connectivity across multiple links - ICN tolerance to disruption in wireless and mobile links - Policy management with ICN - ICN in relation to CDNs and Cloud Services - Cooperation between ICN and CDN networks - Standardization efforts impacting mobile ICN - Data naming and Objects Identification in wireless and mobile networks - Radio resources management and congestion control - Context-awareness in ICN - Intelligent in-network Caching in ICN for better network resources optimization and user experience - ICN role in wireless and mobile User Experience - ICN Security and Privacy - Forwarding strategies in wireless and mobile ICN - Performance evaluation for wireless and mobile ICNs Workshop Chairs Jun Bi, Tsinghua University, China Hassnaa Moustafa, Intel Corporation, USA Bertrand Mathieu, Orange, France Steering Committee Eve Schooler, Intel Corporation, USA Giovanni Pau, UCLA, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA Jun Bi, Tsinghua University, China Hassnaa Moustafa, Intel Corporation, USA Bertrand Mathieu, Orange, France Prof. Xiaoming Fu, Gottingen University, Germany Important Dates Paper Submission due: December 30th 2013 Acceptance Notification: February 7th 2014 Camera-ready version: February 28th 2014 Workshop date: April 28th or May 2nd 2014 Manuscript submissions All submissions must be original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Mobile Crowd Sensing Special Issue, IEEE Comm. Mag.

02 Dec '13

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Emiliano Miluzzo <miluzzo(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> Gesendet: Fri Nov 29 16:17:09 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Mobile Crowd Sensing Special Issue, IEEE Comm. Mag. *** C a l l f o r P a p e r s *** IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) NEW DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2013 http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0814.html Introduction Successful city management relies on urban dynamics and social event monitoring to provide essential information for decision making. In traditional sensing techniques such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), distributed sensors are leveraged to acquire real world conditions. However, static sensing is affected by several conditions, such as insufficient node coverage, high installation/maintenance cost, and lack of scalability. Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) presents a new sensing paradigm based on the power of various mobile devices/objects (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, sensor-equipped vehicles, etc.). The sheer number of mobile device users and their inherent mobility enables a new and fast-growing sensing paradigm: the ability to acquire local knowledge through sensor-enhanced mobile devices ®C e.g., location, personal and surrounding context, noise level, traffic conditions, and in the future more specialized information such as pollution ®C and the possibility to share this knowledge within the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers such as municipalities for example. The information collected by the mobile devices on the ground combined with the support of the cloud where data fusion takes place, make mobile sensing a versatile platform that can often replace static sensing infrastructures, and enabling a broad range of applications from urban dynamic mining, public safety, environment monitoring, just to name a few. Numerous and unique research challenges arise from the mobile crowd sensing paradigm ranging from participatory and opportunistic data collection, proper incentive mechanisms, transient network communication, and big data processing. By having human participation in the loop, several other issues regarding to the privacy and security of data (e.g., sensitive information such as human voice, location may be revealed), quality/trust of the data contributed (e.g., there might be fake or malicious nodes involved) should also be addressed. This feature topic issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this feature topic on Mobile Crowd Sensing is threefold: -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): - Architecture/Framework Design - Participatory Data Collection (node selection, data sampling, scheduling sensing) - Opportunistic Sensing and Communication - Sensor Performance and Types for MCS - Incentive Mechanisms for MCS - Communication in Weak/Transient Networking Environments - Big Data Processing and Urban/Social Mining - Privacy, Security, and Trust Issues in MCS - Social and Psychological Issues in MCS - Energy Efficiency in MCS - Emerging/Novel Application Areas of MCS - Performance Evaluation of MCS Submissions Papers must be tailored to the problems of mobile crowd sensing and explicitly consider above issues. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

Nevertheless, this interest is not enough to apply this kind of networks as trustworthy solution for many real-world environments, such as industrial processes and critical infrastructures, where high reliability is required, together with other related key aspects as energy, security and efficiency. Many companies could overcome their reluctances if economic, reliable and easily deployed solutions are provided in this field. In this scenario, the heuristics and computational intelligence play an important role to solve many involved optimization problems, doing necessary the research on advanced solutions that result in a successful product. In this sense, there are many challenges, trends and open possibilities in this area that deserve to be known. In this special issue, we seek original, high quality articles, clearly focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the heuristics and mathematical optimization methods for obtaining reliable and efficient wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to the topics shown below. Topics of Interest: ================== The topics related to heuristics for reliable and efficient Wireless Sensor Networks deployments that are relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: * Energy minimization aspects: network lifetime and power savings. * Efficient networks deployments. * Heuristics and computational intelligence applied for solving optimization problems. * Multiobjective optimization problems. * Fault tolerance and quality of service. * Robust routing algorithms, network protocols and operating systems. * Security and privacy aspects of the communications. * Microprocessors, circuits, and embedded applications. * Application cases, user studies and experiences. Papers must be tailored to the problem of the wireless sensor networks and explicitly consider heuristics and mathematical optimization methods. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. Authors should submit their manuscripts through Editorial Manager http://www.editorialmanager.com/heur/, selecting "SI - HREWSN" as the article type. Important Dates: =============== Submission deadline: December 31, 2013. Acceptation notification: April 1st, 2014. Final Papers: June 1st, 2014. Guest Editors: ============= Lead Editor: Dr. Juan A.

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/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:42:09 +0100 Von: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Antonio de la Oliva <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0115.html) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions.

It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the t! otal). The need for ‘greener’ communications technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Computer Networks on Green Communications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications. We seek papers describing research results that show significant energy savings in communications systems. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Energy-efficient home, access, core, and data center networks - Energy-efficient wireless access, home and sensor networks - Energy-efficient cellular networks - Energy-efficient content distribution - Power-aware algorithms, protocols, network equipment, and applications - Software-defined networks for energy efficiency - Energy Management as a part of Network Management - Performance models and metrics for analyzing performance-energy trade-offs - Trade-offs in embodied versus use phase energy consumption - Trade-offs in thin client, cloud computing, and network energy use - Regulation and standardisation * Guest Editors * Ken Christensen University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA Email: christen(a)csee.usf.edu Xavier Costa Pérez NEC R&D Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Email: Xavier.costa(a)ieee.org Pablo Serrano University Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Spain Email: pablo(a)it.uc3m.es Jinsong Wu Bell Laboratories, China Email: wujs(a)ieee.org * Important Dates * - Paper Submission Due: February 28, 2014 - Notification: May 31, 2014 - Camera ready: June 30, 2014 - Publication Date: 4th Quarter of 2014 * Submission Requirements * Submitted articles must be clearly written in good English.
