We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer ExtremeCom 2013 – The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand the challenges involved in networking in this region. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Mesh networks and sensor networks * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Distributed computing for mobile environments * Networked applications and services * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications * Mining and modeling of mobility and social network Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI) Special Issue on "Emerging Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for Ubiquitous Healthcare" Datum: Wed, 8 May 2013 21:29:18 -0400 Von: Honggang Wang <hwang1(a)umassd.edu> Antwort an: hwang1(a)umassd.edu An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI) Special Issue on "Emerging Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for Ubiquitous Healthcare" Health monitoring of patients' vital signs over wireless body area networks (WBANs) provides an economical solution to rising costs in the healthcare system with real-time updates of medical records. The WBAN consisting of a set of mobile and small intercommunicating sensors is expected to significantly impact future healthcare services. On the other hand, many other techniques such as smartphones, cloud services and social networks have been widely deployed for many mobile applications and are offering a great opportunity to extend the functionalities of WBANs. The integration of WBANs with these promising techniques for ubiquitous healthcare applications will lead to interpretation of the broad concepts of telemedicine and m-health. There are significant research challenges involving the development of protocols, platform, applications of WBANs, especially when wireless body sensors are either wearable or implanted into the human body and thus their resources and capacities are extremely limited. Many existing sensor network solutions are not applicable to WBANs. There are numerous research issues in WBANs related to interoperability, communication interference, security, mobility, energy, deployment, and costs, etc. In addition, there is a promising research trend for the integration of cloud computing with WBANs to provide ubiquitous and mobile healthcare services. Further, traditional solutions in WBANs have to be evolved with the emergence of new hardware and techniques such as smartphones and energy harvesting. For example, adopting energy harvesting techniques has led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and miniaturized sensors that are suited for m-health applications. New emphasis on the applications such as smart health and wellbeing will significantly speed up the wide deployment of WBANs and broaden their impact. It is a challenging task to develop more innovative health applications such as elder care, sports, military, or security. Extending the WBANs technology to new application domains can be supported by seamless and secure data communications between users, or between users and base stations with required quality of service (QoS). Therefore, it is critical to understand and develop WBANs from the perspective of applications, protocol and system. The specific focus of this special issue will be on the ubiquitous healthcare service impact and implications of emerging WBANs technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security and privacy * Network protocols and standardization for WBANs * The integration of cloud computing with WBANs * Data storage, distribution, and cloud services for WBANs * Inter-WBANs communication interference mitigation * Nano communication and nanotechnologies for WBANs * Wearable computing * Embedded medical sensor devices * Cognitive radio techniques for WBANs * Trends, future applications for WBANs * Regulatory challenges and commercialization of WBANs * Biometrics using WBANs and their applications * Resource allocation and cross-layer design * Hardware and testbed platforms for WBANs * Social networks for WBANs * Energy harvesting for low-power WBANs * Modeling, simulations, and performance evaluations * QoS of WBANs * Innovative smart health and wellbeing applications GUEST EDITORS Honggang Wang Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications (Extended Deadline: May 20, 2013) Datum: Thu, 2 May 2013 18:33:46 -0700 (PDT) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf) Submission Deadline: May 20, 2013 Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication. Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and challenges. A issue is how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison. The special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that include, but are not limited to, the following. •Power and interference management •Proximity-based detection and offloading •Self-organizing device discovery •Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication •Device vs operator controlled link establishment •Link management and mode selection •Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation •Group communication and broadcasting •Multi-hop D2D communications •Quality improvement for real-time applications •Channel measurements and modelling •Mobility measurements, modelling and management •New services and applications Submission Guideline Authors should refer to the submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html) to prepare their papers.

[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 ================================================================================ IMPORTANT DATES * Paper Submission: May 12, 2013 * Notification: June 30, 2013 * Camera Ready: July 30, 2013 * Workshop: October 24, 2013 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 Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Technical Program Committee Bernhard Ager, ETH Zurich, CH Marco Balduzzi, International Secure Systems Lab, IT Pere Barlet-Ros, Technical University of Catalonia, ES Paulo Carvalho, University of Minho, PT Pedro Casas, Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (FTW), AT Pavel Celeda, Masaryk University, CZ Kenjiro Cho, Internet Initiative Japan Inc., JP Ruben Cuevas Rumin, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, ES Alberto Dainotti, CAIDA, UC San Diego, US Benoit Donnet, Universite de Liege, BE Elias Duarte Jr., Federal University of Parana, BR Maurizio Dusi, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Alessandro Finamore, Politecnico di Torino, IT Kensuke Fukuda, National Institute of Informatics, JP Jose Luis Garcia-Dorado, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, ES Francesco Gringoli, University of Brescia, IT Bamba Gueye, Universite Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SN Mehmet Gunes, University of Nevada - Reno, US Lei Guo, Microsoft, US Xiaojun Hei, Huazhong University of Science andTechnology, CN Oliver Hohlfeld, TU Berlin, DE Tobias Hossfeld, University of Wuerzburg, DE Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology/ Telekom Innovation Laboratories, DE/HK Guillaume Jourjon, NICTA, AU Solange Lima, University of Minho, PT Emmanuel Lochin, University of Toulouse - ISAE, FR Olaf Maennel, Loughborough University, UK David Malone, NUI Maynooth, IE Jukka Manner, Aalto University, FI Olivier Mehani, NICTA, AU Hung Nguyen, University of Adelaide, AU Nick Nikiforakis, KU Leuven, BE Antonio Pescape, University of Napoli Federico II, IT Aiko Pras, University of Twente, NL Gregorio Procissi, University of Pisa, IT Justin Rohrer, Naval Postgraduate School, US Nadi Sarrar, TU Berlin, DE Fabian Schneider, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Joel Sommers, Colgate University, US Kwon Taekyoung, Seoul National University, KR Stefano Traverso, Politecnico di Torino, IT Michele Vadursi, University of Naples "Parthenope", IT Shobha Venkataraman, AT&T Labs - Research, US Alex Vieira, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, BR Matthias Wahlisch, Freie Universitat Berlin, DE Jie Xiang, Simula Research Laboratory, NO Sebastian Zander, Swinburne University of Technology, AU _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer ExtremeCom 2013 The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand the challenges involved in networking in this region. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Mesh networks and sensor networks * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Distributed computing for mobile environments * Networked applications and services * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications * Mining and modeling of mobility and social network Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Local arrangement committee: Ólafur Helgason, Iceland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of Cambridge, UK Technical Program Committee: Ken Banks, Kiwanja.net, South Africa Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Gary Chan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Marcelo Dias de Amorim, CNRS, France Michael Doering, Bosch Research, Germany Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon/INRIA, France Roy Friedman, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Bo Han, AT&T Research, USA Luigi Iannone, Telecom ParisTech, France Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden HengChang Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA James Kwok, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Yong Li, Tsinghua University, China Alessandro Mei, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Jörg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** -- Document sans titre

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] M2MCIP 2013 - deadline this week: IEEE Workshop on Machine to Machine Communications Interfaces and Platforms Datum: Mon, 06 May 2013 14:32:33 +0200 Von: Tom Pfeifer <t.pfeifer(a)computer.org> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com Call for Papers =============== Paper submission: May 12, 2013 1st IEEE International Workshop on Machine to Machine Communications Interfaces and Platforms M2MCIP 2013 http://www.M2MCIP.org Part of IEEE LCN 2013, Sydney, Australia, October 24 will be held as a full-day workshop on October 24, 2013, as part of the 38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (IEEE LCN) in Sydney, Australia. Scope ===== Smarter and greener environments are essential to address economic, social, and environmental challenges due to the increase in urbanization, requiring informed decisions based on Internet of Things (IoT) generated data. Rapidly, more and more devices are being added to the networks. Estimations show that by the end of 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices to the IoT world-wide. Almost any kind of these devices will be allowed to seamlessly integrate into a large-scale Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication environment. In contrast to human-to-human and human-to-machine communication (which mainly involves multimedia sessions, web browsing, and remote control), M2M provides the opportunity of deploying completely new services. In M2M, smart devices are connected through the networks to novel service platforms in a self-controlled system; however, the current communication networks still being designed to support human-to-human communication, focus on the optimization of the communication between devices under direct human control. Recognizing the need for reliable network infrastructures, various standards developing organizations have recently promoted several standardization activities in the M2M domain, which need continuous research input. Open M2M platforms are being developed to implement middleware aiming to provide services for heterogeneous requirements, thus avoiding vendor-locking stove-pipe solutions, acting as a horizontal convergence layer supporting multiple vertical application domains such as transport and logistics, utilities, automotive, eHealth, etc. which may be deployed independently or as part of a common platform. M2MCIP provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to address and discuss challenges and proposed solutions to the open and upcoming issues in M2M, as state-of-the-art solutions and work in progress. Topics of Interest ================== M2M Modelling and Design M2M Platforms and Frameworks M2M aspects of Smart Energy, Utility Providers, Smart Homes, Smart Anything M2M Privacy and Security, Identification and Authentication M2M Gateways M2M Application Interfaces M2M Medium Access Protocols M2M Performance and Scalability aspects M2M Reliability and Affordability M2M Standardisation progress M2M Mobility aspects Autonomic communication methods for end-to-end M2M communication M2M Emerging technologies Context-awareness aspects of M2M communication Integration of Delay-Tolerant Networks into M2M platforms M2M Crowd Sensing integration and opportunistic information transmission Communication aspects of services in the Internet of Things Industrial requirements for M2M and upcoming business cases Experimental Testbeds for M2M communication and integration, deployment and federation Paper Submission ================ Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (deadline extension)
by Valeria Loscri 01 May '13

01 May '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: extended to May 12, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.

Over recent years, researchers from both industry and academia were focusing their efforts on exploiting the advances in sensing and communication technologies to improve the efficiency of the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMS) and mitigate the above issues. However, these efforts are still insufficient to build a reliable and secure TMS that can handle the foreseeable rise of population and cars in future smart cities. This special session seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications, and discuss the key unresolved challenges in the topics of this special session. Papers are invited to be submitted in the following areas: * Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion, processing and integration techniques for TMS * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * WSNs, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to TMS in smart cities * Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation * Security and QoS issues for ITS applications * V2X feasibility over LTE networks * M2M communication for data collection in smart cities * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles ------------------ Dr. Soufiene Djahel Research Fellow Performance Engineering Lab University College Dublin http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/index.html

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanis! ms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (2 days left)
by Valeria Loscri 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: May 1, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.

Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal: Special Issue on QoE (deadline April 30)
by Periklis Chatzimisios 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

-------------------------------------------------------------- Elsevier Visual Communication and Image Representation Journal Special Issue on QoE in 2D/3D Video Systems -------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of purpose of this special issue It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new multi-modal media necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived multimedia quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality of Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging multimedia services (e.g. immersive multimedia, multimodal applications) over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g. IPTV/HDTV/UHD/3DTV, video call, 3D smartphone, etc). However, controlling the QoE of these applications is difficult not only because of their high data rate. The combination of multiple media in a single application (multimodality) and the need to keep multiple media in synch across multiple parties means that the problem of capturing and controlling QoE becomes multi-dimensional and cannot be addressed through existing methods. Open questions that will be addressed include for instance: - How can we equalize the QoE perceived by different users in multimodal, immersive and multiparty applications? - How will it be possible to engineer a closed-loop, QoE management framework where the QoS-to-QoE mapping models are sufficiently accurate and stable? - How should data, media, network, control and application planes be orchestrated to maximize QoE / minimize resource consumption? - How can 2D (SVC, HEVC etc) and 3D Coding (MVC, MPEG Part C, etc) affect QoE? With reference to 2D/3D video, research topics of interest include but are not limited to: - QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective, online versus offline) - QoE Modeling and QoE-QoS Mapping - KPI and KQI for the QoE definition - QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies - Subjective evaluation methodology for 3D/multiview/free-view video, graphics, and augmented and mixed reality - QoE Methodologies for 3D - QoE for novel applications (immersive media, multimodal applications etc) - Standardization activities for QoE - New databases and validation (especially for 3D signals) Schedule: Manuscript submission: April 30, 2013 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2013 Publication: November 2013 Guest Editors Prof. Tasos Dagiuklas, Hellenic Open University, Greece Email: dagiuklas(a)eap.gr Prof. Luigi Atzori University of Cagliari, Italy Email: l.atzori(a)diee.unica.it Dr. Periklis Chatzimisios Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Email: pchatzimisios(a)ieee.org Prof. Chang Wen Chen University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA Email: chencw(a)buffalo.edu Prof Lin Weisi Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Email: WSLIN(a)ntu.edu.sg

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers, The 13th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) Datum: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:04:13 -0400 Von: Jelena Misic <jmisic(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> WLNs Phase Shift in Next Generation Networks Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) play a key role in a plethora of domains. >From smart phones to smart cities, applications spanning our engaging planet boost the impact of IT on our daily lives. WLNs present many unique and dynamic challenges, yet their utilization is on a rapid rise. As a technology, the combination of relatively low costs and ease of deploy-ment has led many communities to rely on local wireless infrastructures. Those encompass-ing the Internet of Things (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks, Clouds of Sensing (CoS), and Software Defined Networks (SDNs), which form a significant evolution towards Next Generation Networks (NGNs) in its global scope. However, the rapid pace of their deployment and utilization have rarely adequately addressed up front caveats; includ-ing planning and ongoing support requirements. This can manifest in degraded levels of service and significant sustainability exposures, dramatically increasing failure rates of user adoption and seamless usage. In its 13th year, the WLN workshop will focus on how such wireless networks can be resilient, while maintaining the promised high levels of service quality in NGNs. We consider design and implementation dimensions in WLNs that will ena-ble change phase towards NGNs and demonstrate added utility in providing sustainable global communication networks. WLN this year will feature multiple special sessions with the following list of non-exclusive topics of interest: 1 . RFID networks in the IoT.  Planning of RFID networks.  RFID scalable anti-collision protocols.  Localization of RFID-tagged objects.  2. Software Defined Networks (SDN) in Dynamically Changing Environments.  Integration and coexistence issues towards NGNs.  New paradigms like Information Centric Networks (ICN) and their relation with SDN.  Practical experiments on SDN based testbeds. 3. QoS constrained Clouds of sensors over WLNs: Do they scale?  Wireless multihop networks, including mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks.  Locally distributed sensor networks towards a global CoS.  Protocol design, including cross-layer and opportunistic approaches. 4. Resource management in M2M communications.  Resource management functionalities (CAC, reservation, scheduling, etc.)  Cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum assignments.  Performance evaluation, including analytical and simulation approaches. Important Dates Paper Submission May 12th, 2013 Notification of acceptance June 30th, 2013 Camera-ready copy due July 30th, 2013 Submission Guidelines We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published or currently under review. Authors can submit in any of the aforementioned special sessions a full paper (up to 8 pages) that describes complete works in a self-contained manner with the intent to give an oral presentation.

Fwd: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science
by Lars Wolf 25 Apr '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Mirco Musolesi <m.musolesi(a)cs.bham.ac.uk> Gesendet: Wed Apr 24 21:46:37 MESZ 2013 An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Systems for Computational Social Science Colocated with ACM UbiComp'13 Zurich, Switzerland 9 September 2013 http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/MCSS2013/ *Scope of the Workshop* For decades, behavioral and social scientists have strived to understand the complex combination of factors that influence the decisions, activities and interactions of people in everyday life. Through conventional approaches, such as self-reports and controlled laboratory studies, considerable progress has been made. However, these methods have fundamental limitations in their ability to unobtrusively collect fine-grain behavioral data in natural settings.Recent advances in mobile sensing technology are promising to overcome these obstacles by delivering radically different tools for in-situ human behavior monitoring able to operate at much larger scales than previously thought possible. Today, mobile sensing platforms – primarily, mobile phones – are causing behavioral and social scientists to completely rethink how they study people in real-world environments. A variety of factors have combined to put mobile phones in this position. First, mobile phones are ubiquitous: there are billions of mobile phone users and the market continues to grow worldwide. Second, mobile phones are unobtrusive: due to their ubiquity, users are not consciously aware of the presence of mobile phones, unlike purpose-built devices that depend on user self-reports. Third, mobile phones are powerful and sensor rich platforms: today’s phones have many embedded sensors (e.g., accelerometer, Bluetooth, GPS, and magnetometer) that can accurately capture user behavior; they are also equipped with powerful processors, which allow applications to exploit computationally intensive algorithms to run locally on the phones. Finally, due to their proliferation, mobile phones systems can scale: experiments based on mobile applications can potentially reach millions of people. Before we can fully leverage the potential of mobile phone sensing systems, a variety of open problems must be addressed. For example, because mobile phones are energy constrained, efficient algorithms able to make accurate behavioral inferences from sensor data (with cloud resources exploited when needed) must be developed. Similarly, fundamental challenges remain in the management of personal data and the understanding of real-time processing of sensor workloads. If these technical challenges can be overcome mobile systems will represent a key building block for the emerging discipline of computational social science. The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers either active, or interested, in mobile systems for social analysis and applications. We anticipate a lively forum to discuss recent advances in the design, implementation and evaluation of this new class of mobile systems. The workshop will be open to contributions from researchers from various domains who tackle these challenging research problems using their own unique perspective. The aim is to discuss the many open issues in this area towards identifying novel solutions to be investigated – in addition to fostering collaborations among the workshop participants. We will especially welcome highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking or confirming existing system design methodology, for example by means of new experimental results. We will invite to submit papers in the following areas: - Design, implementation and evaluation of mobile systems for computational social science; - Experiment design of social and behavioural experiments using mobile technologies; - Design and implementation of algorithms for mobile system applications; - Architectural issues, including middleware and operating systems support for social applications; - Integration of mobile technologies and cloud computing for social applications; - Energy efficiency issues in designing socially-aware mobile systems; - Mobile social sensing systems; - Implementation of mobile technologies for psychological and health interventions; - Integration of mobile and Web technologies for behavioral intervention; - Deployment and testing of mobile systems for social analysis and applications; - Data collection, anonomyzation and storage of social and behavioral data collected by means of mobile systems; - Privacy issues related to the design of socially-aware systems. *Submission format* Page length is up to 6 pages (10pt ACM format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not be anonymized. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through EasyChair.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Computer - Special Issue on Mobile Application Security Datum: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:24:48 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 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; · virtualization solutions for mobile security; and · Web browser security on mobile devices.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:25:48 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd CfP: Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (CoSDEO@Ubicomp); DL: 01.05.2013 Datum: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:43:43 +0200 Von: announce(a)teco.edu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS for the Fourth CoSDEO Workshop Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/) in conjunction with 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/) in Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-12, 2013 ================================================ The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based recognition of contexts. Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio receives a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. Radio signals are inherently noisy and signal changes depend on a variety of environmental and sensor-specific factors. It is therefore the goal of CosDEO 4th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific standards; providing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context recognition systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design aspects of device-free radio-based recognition systems - General experimental work and field studies on device-free radio-based recognition - Models/algorithms for recognizing contexts using device-free radio-based sensors - Reports on the evaluation of device-free radio-based recognition systems - Investigations directed at signal processing, recognition robustness, signal sampling, etc. for device-free radio-based recognition - Investigations directed at feasibility of recognizing novel classes using radio frequency signal analysis - System architectures for device-free radio-based recognition - Monitoring of attention levels by device-free radio-based sensing systems - Algorithms/methods enabling device-free sensing using existing and novel radio hardware Paper submission deadline: May 1st, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2013 Final paper submission: June 20th, 2013 Workshop: September 9th, 2013 Organization Committee: General program chairs Markus Scholz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany Stephan Sigg, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan Moustafa Youssef, Wireless Research Center, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST)

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, dear Madams, Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. We invite you to follow the example of many a renowned researcher and submit your papers to IJARAS by following the guidelines here: http://win.ua.ac.be/~vincenz/ijaras/ The contents of the volumes of IJARAS issued since 2010 may be browsed at http://www.igi-global.com/journal-contents/international-journal-adaptive-r… Please find herein the abstract of the latest issue, IJARAS 4(1).

Taking advantage of the experience gained in the context of the European project Connect, which addresses the challenging and ambitious topic of eternally functioning distributed and heterogeneous systems, this paper presents a framework to analyse and assess dependability and performance properties in dynamic and evolving contexts. The goal is to develop an adaptive approach by coupling stochastic model-based analysis, performed at design time to support the definition and implementation of software products complying with their stated dependability and performance requirements, with run-time monitoring to re-calibrate and enhance the dependability and performance prediction along evolution. The proposed framework for adaptive assessment is described and illustrated through a case study. To simplify the description while making more concrete the approach under study, the authors adopted the setting and terminology of the Connect project.

Yellin (IBM Israel Software Lab, Jerusalem, Israel) and Jorge Buenabad-Chávez (Departmento de Computación, Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico) In the context of adaptive query processing (AQP), several techniques have been proposed for dynamically adapting/redistributing processor load assignments throughout a computation to take account of varying resource capabilities. The effectiveness of these techniques depends heavily on when and to what they adapt processor load assignments, particularly in the presence of varying load imbalance. Most existing approaches to this problem use heuristics based only upon the current machine load levels. The authors provide an algorithm, prAdapt that probabilistically predicts the future load on processors, based upon the recent history. It uses this prediction to evaluate the expected performance of different alternative solutions, taking into account the cost of the adaptation itself. If it finds a better solution than the current load distribution policy, it adapts to that distribution. Using a simulation based evaluation; they compare prAdapt to other approaches for AQP reported in the literature. The authors’ simulation results indicate that prAdapt often outperforms these other approaches.

While on the one hand the use of these technologies responds to the duty of any public institution to involve the largest number of addressees, on the other hand, society must also consider the limitations of these technologies. Firstly not everybody is so familiar in their use. Moreover, the digital administration thus becomes virtual, accessible only through technological devices and not present in a physical location, and is therefore essential to ensure full coverage of the territory, which is currently not always possible. The main novelty of this paper is the implementation of an automated system capable of adapting different types of government services to multiple communication media. The joint exploitation of multiple technologies allows to use the strengths of one of them when are found the limits of another, making this multichannel modality the solution to the requirement of ICT in public administration.

In the past few years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be instrumental to improve emergency management with particular focus on resilience, rapidity of response, adaptability to situations. To these ends, joint optimization of communication and computing is a promising cross-layer approach. Indeed, this paper is focused on the consideration of both cognitive and autonomic networking approaches when deploying an emergency management system. The cognitive approach was initially considered specifically for wireless communications, while the autonomic approach was initially introduced for managing complex computing systems; however, they share several similarities in dealing with fully reconfigurable systems. The future trend is to expand their influence toward the global optimization of the ICT infrastructure, as the authors show in this paper for the specific case of emergency management systems.

Publish/subscribe is appearing as a communication paradigm matching well with highly dynamic distributed applications characterized by reconfigurability, flexibility, and scalability. Nevertheless, very few efforts tackle dynamic modifications in the topology of the P/S distributed dispatching infrastructure despite such events represent a basic confrontation in mobile computing scenarios. In this paper, the authors clarify the mobility’s issues in the context of publish-subscribe middleware and survey solutions and protocols suggested by several research groups.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS S4NETS - Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Gianluca Aloi, University of Calabria, Italy aloi(a)deis.unical.it Marco Di Felice, University of Bologna, Italy, difelice(a)cs.unibo.it Valeria Loscrì, University of Calabria, Italy, vloscri(a)deis.unical.it Pasquale Pace, University of Calabria, Italy, ppace(a)deis.unical.it Giuseppe Ruggeri, University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, giuseppe.ruggeri(a)unirc.it SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTERESTS The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of ?STEM-NETWORKS?. This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node /MUTATION/ and /EVOLUTION/. The ?stemness? term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of ?stemness? lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the ?stemness? concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: ü New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization ü New advancements in Software Defined Networking ü Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision ü Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks ü Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization ü Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks ü Self-organizing group and pattern formation ü Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation ü Self-organizing information dissemination and content search ü Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems ü Risks and limits of self-organization ü Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet ü Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 MAY 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6) printed pages in length, including figures.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Mon Apr 08 12:09:05 MESZ 2013 An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Betreff: CfP: Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this! -- Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ========================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are also new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21st, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be August 15th 2013, notification August 22nd 2013.
