The Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Network Science for Communication Networks will be held in Toronto - Canada on April 27 - May 2, 2014 in conjunction with IEEE Infocom 2014. http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/netscicom14/ * !! BEST PAPER AWARD !! * We are very glad to announce a best paper award of $150, sponsored by Technicolor. Additionally, a student author of the best paper (or another author, if no student is a co-author) will receive up to $800 for travel expenses to attend the workshop (e.g., registration, airfare, accommodation). CALL FOR PAPERS Scope: Network science is a newly emerging discipline with applications in a variety of domains, such as, communication networks, power grid networks, transportation networks, social networks, biological networks and economics. Designing complex communication networks of the future needs a deep understanding of the interplay between the physical-, the communication- and the social networks involved. An understanding of such interdependency can only be achieved by closer interaction between network scientists, communication network designers, and social and behavioral scientists. The goal of this workshop is to a provide a forum where this diverse group of researchers can meet and exchange ideas that will lead to deeper insights into the design of robust, efficient and complex communication networks of the future. Topics of Interest: The topics of this workshop lie at the intersection of network science and communication network design - including topology design and analysis, traffic modeling, traffic routing, social media analysis: blogs and friendship networks, bio-inspired networks, internet scale measurement and analysis of online communities, social network analysis with mobile phone data, interdependency between power grid, communication and transportation networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers, Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities Datum: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:37:13 +0100 Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Antwort an: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Computer Communications Journal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities are technology-intensive cities in which the importance and role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding. ICT plays a key role toward the sustainable development of new urban environments. Buildings with smart sensors and control systems can measure their environment and control it in real time (e.g. HVAC). Smart metering allows a utility company to match its production to the demand, dynamically. An electricity provider can influence both production and demand through the use of smart grid technology. This special issue revolves on the following foundational question: what are the “unique” context characteristics, application and control needs, and traffic/user patterns in existing (and futuristic) smart city scenarios, which require a rethinking of networking and communication technologies and systems, as well as their relevant modeling and dimensioning methodologies? ---------------------------------------------- SCOPE ---------------------------------------------- The scope of this special issue is on purpose kept broad in terms of networking and communication technologies. Rather, perspective contributions are expected to sharply target aspects and requirements which clearly distinguish smart cities from general purpose networking and communication systems. We aim at assembling high quality papers which show how smart cities and sensor-generated traffic uniquely challenge current access and transport technologies and protocols, and bring about compelling solutions to such emerging issues, new modeling insights, new monitoring and control means, and so on. We especially welcome work devised to: • explore how existing technologies and protocols need to be revisited/adapted to fit the urban cities requirements, or, conversely, highlight latest technology shifts or propose new context-specific solutions; • provide experimentally supported models and feedbacks from urban-scale pilot and production deployments; • address emerging new applications and/or new challenges. ---------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------- • Machine to Machine services/patterns and their communication and networking support • Quality of Service, fairness provisioning and Service Level Agreementsfor dense deployments; • Multi-client large-scale networks (fairness, cohabitation) • Privacy for smart-metering (anonymity, presence detection, tracking) • Co-located Networks and inter-technology interference; • Multi-technology networks and inter-operability for the smart grid (e.g. PLC, IEEE 802.15.4, wirelessHART); • Mobile wireless networks for car traffic surveillance and management; • Emerging standards for urban wireless networks; • Experimental network measurements and characterization for urban environments; • Commercial applications, technological choices and success stories; • Prototypes, testbeds and pilot deployments (e.g. smart-metering, smart buildings, public transportation); Submission The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "SpecialIssue: Smart Cities" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------- Manuscript Due: January 15, 2014 First Round of Reviews: April 30, 2014 Revised Paper due: June 15, 2014 Final notification: July 15, 2014 ---------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS ---------------------------------------------- Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, giuseppe.bianchi(a)uniroma2.it V.

Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity. Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2014 workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas, discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous editions, this year's workshop is particularly interested in novel research directions, such as service composition techniques, co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights from game theory, social networking analysis, and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2014 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretical insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobile Social networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Computer SI on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security (Due: Dec 15, 2013) Datum: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 00:19:55 +0800 Von: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Call for Articles for IEEE Computer Computer seeks submissions for a June 2014 special issue on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security. 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)mail.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).

These hybrid network environments require supportive strategies to exploit even the slightest communication opportunity. Furthermore, the complexity of this task increases if we also consider device constraints, energy aspects and application diversity. In this context, what appears theoretically possible becomes conditionally feasible only when all available network resources are being efficiently exploited, including those hosted in nearby fixed deployments. New research paradigms can give a unification perspective to the various pieces of the global network jigsaw puzzle. Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), Mobile Cloud Computing and Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) are among the recent innovations that can enable flexible solutions for integrating infrastructure with mobile and opportunistic networks, addressing challenging network conditions, and supporting promising new applications. This Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue aims at soliciting original manuscripts on experimental & theoretical work revisiting the research areas of mobile and opportunistic networks in the context of recent developments in networking research, including new fixed network technologies and concrete use-cases (e.g., disaster situations, space environments and free Internet deployments). On the one hand, infrastructure networks are becoming more flexible and can provide a supportive environment in which mobile-to-mobile communication can flourish, e.g., improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy efficiency for users and devices, respectively. On the other hand, the deployed opportunistic networks can extend the pool of available resources and increase network coverage worldwide. Topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Opportunistic Networks / Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks - Software-Defined Networks & OpenFlow deployments supporting mobile communication - Mobile Cloud Computing - Information-Centric Networks for hybrid network deployments - Space Communications extending the Internet - Free Internet / Lowest-Cost Denominator Networking - Extreme conditions / Disaster area communications - Social networking based communications - Test-beds / real deployments of infrastructure-supported mobile communications - Security, privacy and trust in challenging network environments - Resource pooling between fixed infrastructures and mobile environments. - New applications / services in integrated network environments - Network management issues / solutions over hybrid network deployments. * Submission Instructions * Prospective Authors should follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described athttp://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Please select "SI: NRC-MON" when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Workshop Papers EMUTools (Simutools 2014 conference) Datum: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:43:28 +0100 (CET) Von: EAI Events <no-reply(a)eai.eu> Antwort an: no-reply(a)eai.eu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [View the web version](http://eai.mailmta.com/nl/n.jsp?uH.-T.XyF.IO.Bj.ejM1) EMUTools 2014 –2nd Workshop on Emulation Tools, Methodology and Techniques March 17-19, 2014, Lisbon, Portugal Collocated with SIMUTools 2014 www.simutools.org Scope: EMUTools, 2nd workshop on Emulation Tools, Methodology and Techniques, is a major event dedicated to emulation tools and methodology, collocated with SIMUTools 2014. Emulators represent a family of tools where real and emulated components interact at various levels and scales with external elements. Where simulators aim at evaluating the performance and conformity of models, emulators aim at evaluating that of real components in the real execution environment. The potential of emulators have been acknowledged, notably as a validation and integration technique (or methodology) prior to deployment, and as a complementary approach to field-operational tests. Emulators have also recently been subject to an increasing interest from practitioners in various fields of research. Yet, emulation tools have experienced only little dedicated visibility from the community to breed inter-disciplinary collaborative research and exchange of ideas in the very specific and challenging methodologies and techniques required by emulator tools, or available in major emulation platforms. The workshop therefore aims at providing an interaction environment between academic and industrial researchers along with practitioners in the emulation field. EMUTools proposes to address research challenges in the emulation methodologies, architecture, analysis, applicability, performance, practice and platforms. This event also aims as building a bridge between the simulation and emulation communities to foster collaborative research to address common challenges in the complementary fields of emulation and simulation. Topics: We invite submissions of original high quality work in the area of emulation methodology, techniques, tools and applications. EMUTools’ general area includes but is not limited to: • Emulation Methodology: architecture, distributed systems, load-balancing, multi-processor, scalability, cloud, emulation-as-a-service. • Emulation Techniques: multi-granularity, co-emulation/simulation, application, system, protocol or channel emulation. • Emulation Tools: framework, software, platforms, front-end/back-end, and interactions between different simulation and emulation tools. The workshop invites submissions in application areas implicating emulation methodology, techniques or tools. Specific topics include (but are not limited to): • Wireless technologies and access networks (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) • Backbone and core network (LTE, LTE-A, Internet) • Peer-2-Peer and overlay networks • Cloud systems and networks • Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems • Infrastructure systems (transportation, smart grid) • Intelligent transportation systems • Cyber-physical systems • E-Health • Sensors and M2M networks Submission Instructions: We invite three types of submissions: • Full papers up to 10 pages • Short papers up to 6 pages for work-in-progress aspects All submissions to the workshop should contain aspects of EMUTools’ general area, with emulation methodology, techniques or tools playing a central role. We particularly welcome submissions of case studies, where emulation methodology, techniques and tools will be proposed to reduce the gap between scalability, applicability and usability. All submissions should be written in English, be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format, and be original research that is unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication. All submissions to EMUTools 2014 should be submitted via the SIMUTools 2014 conference website in PDF format. At least on author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the work in person at the EMUTools workshop. Submissions should be written in English, be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format, and be original research that is unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication. Paper should be submitted only in .pdf format on Easychair at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emutools2014. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers, assessing their originality, correctness, and relevance to EMUTools general area, as well as their writing quality. In exceptional circumstances (such as papers evidently out of scope), some submissions may not receive full-length reviews and may be rejected summarily. To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, all submissions should include the FULL list of authors. The author list may only be changed prior to the submission deadline. Publication: Accepted papers presented at the workshop will appear along with the SIMUTools 2014 electronic proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL.

Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS athttp://edas.info/N15441.

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. We plan to invite a keynote speaker who has pioneer contributions in several areas including indoor positioning, big data mining, social networking and search integration, and Web search (spam fighting) to give a talk about the current trend and the future development of big data science. 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 . All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to the workshop scope, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions are provided on the workshop home page. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines will be rejected without review . Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words and be not longer than 12 single-spaced pages with 10pt font size. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html ) for their initial submissions. All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF format only. The submitted papers must not be previously published anywhere, and must not be under consideration by any other conferences or journal during the workshop review process.

CFP - ANTIFRAGILE 2014 - 1st International Workshop “From Dependable to Resilient, from Resilient to Antifragile Ambients and Systems”
by Vincenzo De Florio 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, dear Madams, I would be grateful if you would post the following CFP to this mailing list -- thank you very much Kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio ANTIFRAGILE 2014 1st International Workshop “From Dependable to Resilient, from Resilient to Antifragile Ambients and Systems” As well-known, dependability refers to a system’s trustworthiness and measures several aspects of the quality of its services – for instance how reliable, available, safe, or maintainable those services are. Resilience differs from dependability in that it focuses on the system itself rather that its services; it implies that the system when subjected to faults and changes 1) will continue distributing its services 2) without losing its peculiar traits, its identity: the system will “stay the same”. Antifragility goes one step further and suggests that certain systems could actually “get better”, namely improve their system-environment fit, when subjected (to some system-specific extent) to faults and changes. Recent studies of Professor N. Taleb introduced the concept of antifragility and provided a characterization of the behaviors enacted by antifragile systems. The engineering of antifragile computer-based systems is a challenge that, once met, would allow systems and ambients to self-evolve and self-improve by learning from accidents and mistakes in a way not dissimilar to that of human beings. Learning how to design and craft antifragile systems is an extraordinary challenge whose tackling is likely to reverberate on many a computer engineering field. New methods, programming languages, even custom platforms will have to be designed. The expected returns are extraordinary as well: antifragile computer engineering promises to enable realizing truly autonomic systems and ambients able to meta-adapt to changing circumstances; to self-adjust to dynamically changing environments and ambients; to self-organize so as to track dynamically and proactively optimal strategies to sustain scalability, high-performance, and energy efficiency; to personalize their aspects and behaviors after each and every user. And to learn how to get better while doing it. The ambition and mission of ANTIFRAGILE is to enhance the awareness of the above challenges and to begin a discussion on how computer and software engineering may address them. As a design aspect cross-cutting through all system and communication layers, antifragile engineering will require multi-disciplinary visions and approaches able to bridge the gaps between “distant” research communities so as to • propose novel solutions to design and develop antifragile systems and ambients; • devise conceptual models and paradigms for antifragility; • provide analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to withstand faults, adjust to new environments, and enhance their resilience in the process; • foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussions able to drive future research and development efforts in the area. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Conceptual frameworks for antifragile systems, ambients, and behaviours; • Dependability, resilience, and antifragile requirements and open issues; • Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing antifragile systems and behaviours; • Frameworks and techniques enabling resilient and antifragile applications; • Antifragile human-machine interaction; • End-to-end approaches towards antifragile services; • Autonomic antifragile behaviours; • Middleware architectures and mechanisms for resilience and antifragility; • Theoretical foundation of resilient and antifragile behaviours; • Formal modeling of resilience and antifragility; • Programming language support for resilience and antifragility; • Machine learning as a foundation of resilient and antifragile architectures; • Antifragility and resiliency against malicious attacks; • Antifragility and the Cloud; • Service Level Agreements for Antifragility; • Antifragile and resilient services. ANTIFRAGILE is co-located with the 5th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies, June 2 - 5, 2014, Hasselt, Belgium (http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-14/).

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 15, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2014 Camera-Ready Submission: March 15, 2014 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.

2nd Call For Paper: e-Energy 2014. Deadline January 15th, 2014
by Jean-Marc PIERSON 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Call for Papers: ACM e-Energy 2014 Cambridge, UK, June 11-13 2014 Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next-generation "smart" and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The fifth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Cambridge UK in June 2014, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: . Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings . Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems . Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy- efficient data centers . The impact of storage integration on the smart grid . Electric Vehicle monitoring and control . Distribution and transmission network control techniques . Microgrid and distributed generation management and control . Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources . Smart grid communication architectures and protocols . Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure . Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management . Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems . HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness . User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies . Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems . Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Two type of contributions are solicited: . Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. . Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Full submission details can be found at the conference website: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2014 Important Dates: . January 15, 2014: paper submission deadline .

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014)
by Lars Wolf 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extension] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Fri, 1 Nov 2013 22:02:28 +0100 Von: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Andreea (Picu) Hossmann <picu(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] Due date extended *one week* to November 11, 2013! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS athttp://edas.info/N15441.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks Datum: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 10:28:27 -0200 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 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Editor-in-Chief: Manuel Laguna. Impact factor (2012): 1.471 (Q1, COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEORY & METHODS). Aims and Scope: ============== Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays an extended engineering technology for many markets due to the great amount of their possibilities in collecting data from complex environments and processing them for different purposes. 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.

Using this paradigm, ordinary citizens can collect multi- modal data streams (e.g., audio, video, sound, location coordinates, etc.) from the surrounding environment using their mobile devices and share the same using existing communication infrastructure (e.g., cellular services or WiFi access points). The data contributed from multiple participants can be combined to build a spatiotemporal view of the phenomenon of interest and also to extract important community statistics. Given the ubiquity of mobile phones and the high density of people in metropolitan areas, participatory sensing can achieve an unprecedented level of coverage in both space and time for observing events of interest in urban spaces. The Participatory Sensing and Crowdsourcing symposium at ISSNIP 2014 is designed to attract diverse participation from researchers and practitioners working at the leading edge in participatory sensing and crowdsourcing technologies. This necessarily covers a broad spectrum of topics, representative of the cross-cutting nature of the area -- from novel applications, to making sense of large-scale sensor data, to human computer interaction, to practical experiments. We solicit original and unpublished manuscripts on various aspects of participatory sensing, including (but not limited to) the following topics: - Novel applications - Participatory sensing, opportunistic sensing and crowdsourcing paradigms - Middleware support and programming models - Mining large scale multi-modal sensor data - Intersections with cloud technologies - Interactions between mobile devices and humans - Novel user interfaces - Energy-efficient sensing - Activity recognition and high-level inferences - User privacy issues - Incentive mechanisms to motivate participation - Assessing data trustworthiness - Synergies between online social networks and participatory sensing - Application deployment issues and experiences with large-scale deployment FORMATTING GUIDELINES Please follow the IEEE ISSNIP 2014 Formatting: http://issnip2014.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/authors.php SYMPOSIUM CHAIRS Salil Kanhere, The University of New South Wales, Australia Tony Tie Luo, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore TECHNICAL PROGRAMME COMMITTEE MEMBERS (in alphabetic order) Delphine Christin, Technical University Darmstadt, Germany Chun Tung Chou, The University of New South Wales, Australia Pradipta De, SUNY, Korea Raghu Ganti, IBM Research, USA Vana Kalogeraki, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Ioannis Krontiris, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Kun-Chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Archan Misra, Singapore Management University, Singapore Thanasis Papaioannou, EPFL, Switzerland Venkataraman Ramakrishna, IBM Research, India Rajib Rana, CSIRO, Australia Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Paul Roe, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Vijay Sivaraman, The University of New South Wales, Australia Aniruddha Sinha, Tata Consultancy Services, India Chen-Khong Tham, National University of Singapore, Singapore Kuldeep Yadav, Xerox Research, India Zhixian Yan, Samsung Research, USA Dejun Yang, Colorado School of Mines, USA Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, Cyprus ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] Pervasive and Mobile Computing J.: SI on the Internet of Things Datum: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:13:10 +0100 Von: Enzo Mingozzi <e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: University of Pisa An: <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> *CALL FOR PAPERS* Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal *Special Issue on the Internet of Things* *Deadline: November 15, 2013* http://goo.gl/cMLfsU SCOPE ----- In recent years, Internet has become increasingly ubiquitous. Besides allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere, the Internet is evolving into the communication medium for objects that are embedded in the physical world. The coupling between such objects and a worldwide standard-based communication infrastructure constitutes the Internet of Things (IoT) and is characterized by machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The IoT enables a detailed characterization of the physical environment, as well as a rich set of interactions with the physical world. As such, the IoT has the potential to revolutionize pervasive computing and its applications. Indeed, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT poses several challenges about seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, and many others. This special issue solicits high-quality papers presenting original research results on the IoT that are tightly related to pervasive and ubiquitous scenarios. Submissions could consist of theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to: * System architectures for the IoT targeted to pervasive scenarios * Adaptive and autonomic computing in the IoT * Middleware and service platforms for ubiquitous IoT applications * Security and privacy in pervasive IoT scenarios * Ubiquitous computing solutions exploiting the M2M paradigm * Context awareness in the IoT * Mobility management in the IoT and in M2M communications * Experiences in building ubiquitous IoT platforms * Pervasive applications built on top of the IoT * Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT and M2M communications * Sustainable design and solutions for the IoT All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published by the Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc). Authors should select the SI: Internet of Things, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more conference papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). In this case, authors are requested to submit their relevant previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
