-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE WNM 2013 Datum: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:57:58 +1300 Von: Qiang Fu <Qiang.Fu(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies for multiple postings] Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2013 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) http://wnm2013.csis.mtroyal.ca/ co-located with 38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.ieeelcn.org/ October 21-24, 2013, Sydney, Australia SCOPE The 7th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) invites participants actively engaged in all aspects of network measurements. As computer networks are becoming more complex and diverse in terms of architecture, services, and devices, the importance of measurement increases. Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks, especially emerging and fast-growing ones, such as broadband wireless, mobile, home, data centers, WSN and various heterogeneous networks (Hetnets). Operators of fast-growing non-traditional networks are facing new challenges as cross-layer interactions of traditional protocols exhibit new behaviors. With emerging cloud, over-the-top and mobile services and applications, performance monitoring, anomaly detection and diagnosis becomes more difficult. In addition, fully understanding the impact of new services and applications on existing traditional networks is needed for planning and provisioning purposes. Inferring user experience from network measurements has been a long-standing challenge, which remains with cloud and mobile services growing. With rapid evolution of networking technologies and architectures, the measurement community can offer invaluable insights and improve understanding where lacking, especially in cases where validation of existing results is needed. TOPICS WNM is seeking original submissions that cover a broad range of topics in monitoring, measurement and analysis across wired and wireless networks: * Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation * Evaluation of Internet and smart-phone applications * Measurement across the network protocol stack * Measurement related to performance, reliability, security and privacy * Data centers, cloud-based services and content distribution networks * Measurement-based monitoring and troubleshooting of large-scale distributed systems, including cloud infrastructures * Monitoring and measurement of home networks * Network and service resiliency and performance during and after disasters and man-made outages natural * Evaluation of emerging paradigms for traditional services (e.g. moving from circuit-switched phone to VoIP) * Design, development and experiences with Big Data platforms and analytics * Assessment of previous measurement works ORGANIZATION Program Chairs Aniket Mahanti, University of Auckland, NZ Emir Halepovic, AT&T Labs - Research, US Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA IMPORTANT DATES * Paper Submission: May 12, 2013 * Notification: June 30, 2013 * Camera Ready: July 30, 2013 * Workshop: October 24, 2013 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In recent years, ad-hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applications like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. Similarly, advances in micro-electro- mechanical devices and large-scale integration have enabled the realization of miniaturized sensor nodes that can probe their surroundings and transmit their measurements using on-board wireless transceivers. Large-scale networks of miniaturized sensor nodes may also enable new applications such as target tracking, security surveillance, elder care, and forest monitoring. Both ad hoc and sensor networks are characterized by their dynamic nature, which requires them to be adaptive to changes in the application environment, task objectives, and topological changes, among others. The last few years have witnessed the development of many innovative solutions for ad-hoc and sensor networks that are maturing to the level of commercialization and standardization. Yet, numerous challenges remain for the implementation of practical solutions that operate robustly, securely, and efficiently. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium of GLOBECOM'2013 opts to foster a forum for sharing ideas and recent results among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions related to ad-hoc and sensor networks. We are soliciting papers that describe original and unpublished contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New and unconventional applications of ad hoc and sensor networks * Novel architectures and operation models * Wireless sensor and actor networks * Wireless multimedia and 3-D sensor networks * Underwater and underground sensor networks * Body Area Sensor Networks * Cognitive radio networks in multi-hop environments * Wireless mesh and community networks * Wireless PANs and LANs * Pervasive and wearable computing * RFID systems * Delay-tolerant ad hoc networks * Self-organization and autonomic networking * Vehicular networks * Co-existence issues of hybrid networks * Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices * Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * New standards for ad hoc and sensor networks * Energy saving and power control protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks * Energy scavenging technologies * Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks * Location and context aware services * Scheduling and resource management algorithms * Deployment and coverage analysis of sensor networks * Localization algorithms and ranging technologies * Routing and multicasting protocols * Topology control and management * In-network processing and data storage * Fault-tolerance and traffic reliability issues * Cross-layer design and optimization * Mobility management and modeling * Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks * Security for ad hoc and sensor networks * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation * Experimental prototypes and testbeds * New simulation languages, programming abstractions, and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline of 15 March 2013 for publication in the IEEE Globecom 2013 Conference Proceedings and for presentation at the conference.

1st Call for Papers SPECIAL ISSUE OF PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING The Social Car: Socially-inspired Mechanisms for Future Mobility Services Submissions due: July 31, 2013 ************************************************************************* In the long tradition of driver-vehicle interaction, information systems have been socially ignorant ? they have not accounted for the fact that drivers? (humans?) emote all the time and decisions are always socially inspired. The next-generation automotive interfaces need to include the essence of social intelligence to become more effective and safer. Researchers have recently started to think about the topic of socially inspired cars and, in our comprehension, a broader discussion on the benefits and consequences of socializing cars is very likely to start in the near time. The central objective of this special issue is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars and the topic addressed by this special issue raises elementary questions including who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation. Potential topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to: * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, including traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior * Implementation of agents/robots for improving socially-inspired communication * The subject of social-inspired vehicle-to-vehicle communications * Network issues and protocols for social cars * Crowdsourcing concepts to improve transport (driving as a "collabo- ration" of different entities) * Authentication, privacy, safety, or security issues related to social car services * Relevant parameters to describe social status or behaviors of a driver or car and plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Potentials of socially inspired car-car communication and benefit assessment (why should cars or drivers disclose their social status or social relationships?) * Social norm in the automotive domain * Cultural differences evident in-vehicle social services * Polarization issues between supporters and opponents * Novel applications and services enabled by social cars * Case studies * Visionary perspectives 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/. - Submissions due: July 31, 2013 - Publication expected for 2014 Guest Editors of the Special Issue ---------------------------------- - Andreas Riener, Dept. of Pervasive Computing, University of Linz, Austria; Phone: +43 732 2468 ? 4473; Email: <riener(a)pervasive.jku.at> - Myounghoon Jeon, Department of Cognitive & Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech, USA; Email: <mjeon(a)mtu.edu> - Ignacio Alvarez, IT Manager for Connected Drive & Innovations, BMW Group, Beijing, China; Email: <ignacioalvmar(a)gmail.com> - Franco Zambonelli, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy; Email: <franco.zambonelli(a)unimore.it> For detailed information visit: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/PMCSocialCar/ or http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/15741192

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: MobiCom 2013 Paper Abstract Due This Week. Datum: Sun, 3 Mar 2013 10:06:41 +0800 Von: Pei Zhang <peizhang(a)CMU.EDU> Antwort an: Pei Zhang <peizhang(a)CMU.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies for multiple postings. Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to this week's abstract registration deadline for MobiCom 2013. The conference will take place in Miami Florida on September 30-October 4. abstracts submission deadline is in one week:*March 8, 2013 (11:59 PM EST)* Paper submissions due: March 15, 2013 ************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS -- MobiCom 2013 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2013/index.html ************************************** As the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless communication, MobiCom 2013 solicits papers that focus on the theory, system, practice and challenge of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how people use their computer, computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and technology enabling those applications. At its core, we expect papers to address issues related to mobile computing and communication challenges in the presence of various wireless and mobile networks, including but not limited to wireless LANs, cellular data networks, mobile social networks, delay-tolerant networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, vehicular networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, as well as real-world measurement and deployment of mobile systems and applications. MobiCom 2013 will be a diverse conference, and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. * * *Paper Submission Instructions** * All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: Maximum of 12 pages Font size no smaller than 10 points Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches ? 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches ? 11 inches) Detailed instructions on how and where to submit your paper can be found here. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript will be posted here shortly. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (extended deadline March 25th)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. _Program committee members_: Yacine Challal, Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France Flavio Esposito, Boston University - USA Essia Hamouda, University of Riverside, California, USA Antonio Iera, Università "Mediterranea" di reggio Calabria, Italy Abdelmajid Khwlil, Huawei European Center, Germany Srdjan Krco, Ericsson/University of Belgrade Thomas D.C.

[CFP] Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) - Deadline approaching
by Giuseppe Cardone 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Third Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) (http://mocs.disi.unibo.it) July 7th, 2013 Split, Croatia organized in association with the Eighteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2013) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/) Sponsored by (pending approval): IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) In cooperation with: IEEE Technical SubCommittee on Green Communications and Computing (TSCGCC) (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2013 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green solutions for the processing of real-world Big Data knowledge base and streams over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: March 4, 2013 (extended deadline) Notification of paper acceptance: March 19, 2013 Submission of camera-ready papers: April 13, 2013 Workshop date: July 7, 2013 Paper submission Papers should be written in English.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) Datum: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:30:24 -0500 Von: Krishna Kumar Venkatasubramanian <kven(a)wpi.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you received multiple copies of this solicitation] *********************** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) In Conjunction with IEEE SECON 2013 New Orleans, LA, USA June 24-27, 2013 URL: http://dc-mmds.cs.wpi.edu/ *********************** SCOPE: A decade ago, medical devices were largely simple standalone entities. Today, wireless networking capabilities, sophisticated data processing, and new sensors and actuators are increasingly being incorporated into mobile medical devices that promise to improve a clinician’s ability to diagnose and treat a range of acute and chronic medical conditions. This new generation of mobile medical device systems (MDDS) faces a variety of challenges. Such devices are often implanted, ingested, or worn and deployed as a part of pervasive health monitoring system. Some interact directly with a patient’s biological systems in order to provide coordinated, closed-‐loop care. In order for these mobile medical cyber-‐physical systems to be successful, one needs to develop targeted platforms and technologies. This is particularly challenging because of the devices used in MMDS have to be small and unobtrusive. This makes them severely resource constrained in nature. Architectures developed for the desktop and hand-‐held computing world ill suited for such applications. Further, as people who have limited understanding of the underlying technologies will use such devices, the usability of such systems, from user-‐interface to sustainability to interoperability with other devices to configuration, is very important. These challenges have been recognized, in the abstract, in the community for some time. However, there has not been a dedicated forum for discussing ideas on building mobile medical devices. This proposed workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry to address challenges facing the design and implementation of mobile medical device platforms. TOPICS: Relevant topics include but are not limited to: • Novel hardware platforms and architectures for MMDS • Novel sensing systems for MMDS • Actuation and drug delivery systems for MMDS • Efficient automatic control systems for MMDS • Novel data and signal processing for MMDS • Enabling device interoperability for MMDS • Energy harvesting and sustainability for MMDS • Formal methods for MMDS • Trust, security and privacy technologies of MMDS • Human factors and usability for MMDS • Regulatory issues for MMDS SUBMISSIONS: Papers must be no longer than 5 pages and in font size no smaller than 10 points. Additional paper formatting instructions can be found on the conference web-‐site: http://www.ieee-secon.org. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE SECON’13 Conference Proceedings and archived in IEEE Xplore.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (submission deadline March 3rd)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 3, 2013 Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397.

Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2013 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Tenth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2013) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security and privacy issues and protection mechanisms - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) - Automated driving and communication Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [All at car-2-car.org] [CfP] Special Section on Vehicular Social Networks (IEEE TVT) Datum: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:00:25 +0000 Von: Panagiotis Papadimitratos <papadim(a)kth.se> An: all(a)car-2-car.org <all(a)car-2-car.org> Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section on Vehicular Social Networks Scope Vehicular communication systems and intelligent transportation systems are becoming increasingly important, as various supporting technologies mature. However, deployment of the enabling technologies is not straightforward, but highly dependent on the potential to avail related services attractive to users. Social networking, especially mobile social networking, is being adopted with an increasing rate, mainly based on many off-the-shelf equipment and devices. Vehicular communication systems will open up many services that are user-oriented, beyond on-road safety. In particular, online and/or mobile social networking can be relevant and helpful, for vehicle traffic efficiency and for infotainment. Thus, it is expected that vehicular social networks will be an area to grow in terms of interest, deployment, and applications. In this special section of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, we solicit paper submissions of original works addressing fundamentals, supporting technologies, and technical issues arising from the convergence of vehicular communication systems and social networking. The topics include but are not limited to: Topic of Interests - Cooperative communications in vehicular social networks - QoS support in vehicular social networks - Data fusion and aggregation in vehicular social networks - Resource management in vehicular social networks - Cognitive radio approaches in vehicular social networks - Vehicular social networks based on vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communications - Computational models for social media in vehicular social networks - Incentives and other economic aspects of vehicular social networks - Acquisition/establishment of social relations in vehicular social networks - Gaming in vehicular social networks - Road traffic management using vehicular social networks - Safety and non-safety applications in vehicular social networks - Security/privacy issues in vehicular social networks Submission Instructions Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission procedure, which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page http://transactions.vtsociety.org/ <http://transactions.vtsociety.org/> under Information for Authors.

In recent years, ad-hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applications like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. Similarly, advances in micro-electro- mechanical devices and large-scale integration have enabled the realization of miniaturized sensor nodes that can probe their surroundings and transmit their measurements using on-board wireless transceivers. Large-scale networks of miniaturized sensor nodes may also enable new applications such as target tracking, security surveillance, elder care, and forest monitoring. Both ad hoc and sensor networks are characterized by their dynamic nature, which requires them to be adaptive to changes in the application environment, task objectives, and topological changes, among others. The last few years have witnessed the development of many innovative solutions for ad-hoc and sensor networks that are maturing to the level of commercialization and standardization. Yet, numerous challenges remain for the implementation of practical solutions that operate robustly, securely, and efficiently. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium of GLOBECOM'2013 opts to foster a forum for sharing ideas and recent results among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions related to ad-hoc and sensor networks. We are soliciting papers that describe original and unpublished contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New and unconventional applications of ad hoc and sensor networks * Novel architectures and operation models * Wireless sensor and actor networks * Wireless multimedia and 3-D sensor networks * Underwater and underground sensor networks * Body Area Sensor Networks * Cognitive radio networks in multi-hop environments * Wireless mesh and community networks * Wireless PANs and LANs * Pervasive and wearable computing * RFID systems * Delay-tolerant ad hoc networks * Self-organization and autonomic networking * Vehicular networks * Co-existence issues of hybrid networks * Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices * Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * New standards for ad hoc and sensor networks * Energy saving and power control protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks * Energy scavenging technologies * Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks * Location and context aware services * Scheduling and resource management algorithms * Deployment and coverage analysis of sensor networks * Localization algorithms and ranging technologies * Routing and multicasting protocols * Topology control and management * In-network processing and data storage * Fault-tolerance and traffic reliability issues * Cross-layer design and optimization * Mobility management and modeling * Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks * Security for ad hoc and sensor networks * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation * Experimental prototypes and testbeds * New simulation languages, programming abstractions, and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline of 15 March 2013 for publication in the IEEE Globecom 2013 Conference Proceedings and for presentation at the conference.

[CFP] Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) - Extended deadline
by Giuseppe Cardone 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Third Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2013) (http://mocs.disi.unibo.it) July 7th, 2013 Split, Croatia organized in association with the Eighteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2013) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/) Sponsored by (pending approval): IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) In cooperation with: IEEE Technical SubCommittee on Green Communications and Computing (TSCGCC) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2013 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green solutions for the processing of real-world Big Data knowledge base and streams over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: March 4, 2013 (extended deadline) Notification of paper acceptance: March 19, 2013 Submission of camera-ready papers: April 13, 2013 Workshop date: July 7, 2013 Paper submission Papers should be written in English.

IEEE DCOSS Workshop: Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (submission deadline March 3rd)
by vloscri＠deis.unical.it 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 3, 2013 Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N14397. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. _Program committee members_: Yacine Challal, Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France Flavio Esposito, Boston University - USA Essia Hamouda, University of Riverside, California, USA Antonio Iera, Università "Mediterranea" di reggio Calabria, Italy Srdjan Krco, Ericsson/University of Belgrade Thomas D.C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACM MobiCom 2013, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Datum: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:29:45 -0800 Von: Pei Zhang <peizhang(a)CMU.EDU> Antwort an: Pei Zhang <peizhang(a)CMU.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Apologies for multiple postings. Please note the abstracts submission deadline is:March 8, 2013 (11:59 PM EST) ************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS -- Mobicom 2013 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2013/index.html ************************************** As the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless communication, MobiCom 2013 solicits papers that focus on the theory, system, practice and challenge of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how people use their computer, computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and technology enabling those applications. At its core, we expect papers to address issues related to mobile computing and communication challenges in the presence of various wireless and mobile networks, including but not limited to wireless LANs, cellular data networks, mobile social networks, delay-tolerant networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, vehicular networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, as well as real-world measurement and deployment of mobile systems and applications. MobiCom 2013 will be a diverse conference, and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses.

CFP: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of cyber resilience of smart cities and smart mobility, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Deadline for submission of papers: May 10, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities and Smart Mobility Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I stakeholders (e.g., Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Mobility C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Papers submitted for category 2 that do not fit the focus of the second conference day, may be reassigned by the conference organizers to the selection process of categories 3 and 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defense of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers. Papers should be in English and no longer than 12 pages, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. As in previous years, it is planned that post-proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the Workshop and present the paper. Paper submission will be done via EasyChair. The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript format) should follow the respective template offered by Springer. The paper must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. However, the submission should be anonymised and all author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references should be eliminated. Extended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for CRITIS 2013, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (Inderscience).

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation.

Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to the > ir destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. > > This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ========================================================================== ========================================================================== CFP for the Special Issue in the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Journal on "High Performance Mobile Opportunistic Systems" Scope ================================== Opportunistic networks are an emerging networking paradigm where communication between the source and destination occurs on-the-fly and depends on the availability of communication resources. Opportunistic communication paradigm heavily benefits from the heterogeneous networking and communication infrastructure that currently exist, e.g., mobile networks, P2P networks, with the supporting technologies in data management and system interoperability. The SI aims at presenting state-of-the-art research and future trends in mobile and heterogeneous opportunistic networking and application paradigms, combining the mobile communication, mobility and resource management field, and scientifically presents the various concepts that contribute to enable high performance computing in these environments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: •resource management (failure-aware, high-availability, efficiency, reliability, fault tolerance, etc.) •data management (data gathering and fusion, aggregation, dissemination, source coding, signal processing, etc.) •cooperative and opportunistic algorithms (cooperative PHY, relays, distributed signal processing, etc.) •key functionalities (security, localization, privacy and authentication, self-*, synchronization, etc.) •novel protocols (PHY level, MAC level, routing aspects, congestion and admission control, communication networking paradigms, etc.) •self-adaptiveness (self-organization, self-stabilization, autonomic computing approaches, etc.) •cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (channel coding, cross-layer interaction, protocols for cross-layering, etc.) •performance evaluation and limitation (network capacity, metrics and new schemes’ evaluation through real-time or simulation, etc.) •opportunistic storage (backup techniques, autonomic- management of storage, location-aware caching, etc.) •energy consideration (optimization of energy-efﬁcient protocols/algorithms, energy-efﬁcient MAC, routing and cross-layer protocols, adaptive protocols, innovative power control techniques, novel applications, scalability issues, etc.) •mobility models (mobility modeling, management and optimization, mobility effects, efficiency, conceptual models and applied certain patterns, human mobility, mobility aware protocols, service portability, etc.) •implementation case studies (i.e. WSN, Ad-hoc, HAPs, etc. ) •simulation frameworks (tools, designs, module support and integration, novel performance analysis etc.) Articles should be of novel research nature whereas only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….
