-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 8. Mai 2017 04:49:36 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer networks SI on Green computing in wireless sensor networks *CFP** of Special Issue in Elsevier Computer Networks* *Green Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks* The past decades have witnessed the advancement of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in both academic and industrial communities. In a WSN, a large number of sensor nodes are deployed and networked to monitor or survey targeted area, such that the interested data can be sensed, processed, stored and collected. Through WSNs, we are able to bridge the physical word and the cyber space, which composes the foundation for developing new smart applications. Many potential applications of WSNs have been exploited in the fields of environmental engineering, healthcare, industry, military applications, smart home, and green buildings etc. To enable the pervasive deployment of WSNs, the biggest stumbling block is the contradiction between the various functionalities demanded by applications and the limited energy supply for sensor nodes. Such a situation is getting worse, especially considering the increasing network scale. Therefore, in this special issue, we look at WSNs, mainly from the perspective of green computing. On one hand, we expect to design energy-saving (or –free) protocols cross different system layers, to prolong the network lifetime as far as possible. Specifically, to practice WSNs in real applications, we are supposed to achieve a tradeoff between system performance and energy efficiency, through adapting sensing/networking functionalities to energy budget. On the other hand, we can resort to seeking new techniques to sustainably supply energy to sensor nodes. For example, sensor nodes equipped with certain mechanisms can harvest energy from surrounding circumstance, or we can rely on dedicated devices to periodically charge the sensor nodes (if they are re-chargeable). The above threads (or the joint optimizations cross them) are of great significance to improve the sustainability and performance of WSNs. Therefore, it is highly worthy to extensively investigate how we run a WSN in a green fashion. Topics of primary interest are centered around green computing in WSNs, including but not being limited to: l Energy harvesting/charging and power management l Long-life sensor node deployment and topology control l Energy-efficient communication protocol design l Scheduling algorithms for sensor networks l Energy-efficient (or –free) sensing techniques l New applications of self-sustainable sensor networks l Data routing, processing and storage strategies l Network modelling and performance analysis *Schedule* Manuscript Due: August 15th, 2017 First Notification: October 31st, 2017 Revised version: December 15th, 2017 Final notification: January 15th, 2018 Publication Date: The 2nd quarter of 2018 (tentative) *Guest Editor* *Feng Li* (Corresponding Editor) School of Computer Science and Technology Shandong University Jinan, Shandong, China 250101 Email: fli(a)sdu.edu.cn *Shibo He* School of Computer Science and Engineering Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China 310027 Email: s18he(a)zju.edu.cn *Jun Luo* School of Computer Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University Singapore 639798 Email: junluo(a)ntu.edu.sg *Gurusamy Mohan* Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering National University of Singapore Singapore 117576 Email: elegm(a)nus.edu.sg *Junshan Zhang* School of Electrical, Computer and Engineering Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-7206 Email: junshan.zhang(a)asu.edu ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CALL FOR PAPERS] Speical Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "Energy Informatics for Green Cities" Datum: Tue, 2 May 2017 10:19:59 -0400 Von: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [CALL FOR PAPERS] Speical Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "Energy Informatics for Green Cities" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Speical Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "Energy Informatics for Green Cities" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME --------------- Energy Informatics is emerging as a new and inter-disciplinary research field. The main goal is to tackle the future global warming, energy crisis, and climate change challenges by exploiting advanced ICT theories and tools to address energy-related problems. The scope of Energy Informatics includes the next-generation communications, networking, computing, sensing and control technologies (e.g., big data, machine learning, 5G, cloud computing, fog computing); and their applications in the energy sectors (e.g., smart cities, smart grid, electric vehicles, and PV systems). In the past decade, we have witnessed a rapid development and application of advanced informatics technologies (information, communications, and networking technologies) to realize sustainable smart cities, covering many successful examples such as green buildings, smart homes, distributed microgrid systems, and green transportation systems. When equipped with advanced ICT technologies, buildings and homes are able to significantly improve energy efficiency, reliability, and security in grid operations, while satisfying users’ comfort, and thus benefitting all stakeholders, namely energy consumers, utility companies, and energy generators. Moreover, distributed microgrid systems facilitate the deep integration of renewable energy and promote an efficient, secure, and economic exploitation of renewable energy resources. The rapid development of informatics technologies also leads to the success of green transportation systems, driving an exponential growth in using electric vehicles.
