-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine Special issue on Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks [Deadline: May 15] Datum: Sat, 22 Apr 2017 19:34:59 -0700 Von: Chunsheng Zhu <cszhu(a)ECE.UBC.CA> Antwort an: Chunsheng Zhu <cszhu(a)ECE.UBC.CA> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Communications Magazine Special issue on Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks ------------------- Call for papers Driven by the development of mobile Internet and smart phones, data traffic grows exponentially in current mobile networks. Initial estimations indicate that, different from the evolutionary path of previous cellular generations that were based on spectral efficiency improvements, the most substantial amount of future system performance gains will be obtained by means of network infrastructure densi?cation. The opportunities and challenges of fifth-generation (5G) rapidly gain great attention from academics, industries, and governments. Ultra dense network (UDN) is a promising technique to meet the requirements of explosive data traffic in 5G mobile communications. Moreover, when overlaid on top of the macrocells, low power small cells (such as femtocell and picocell) can improve the coverage and capacity of cellular networks by exploiting spatial reuse of limited spectrum. Dense small cells can also offload the wireless data traffic of user equipments (UEs) from macrocells, especially for an indoor environment where more than 80% of data traffic occurs. This special issue will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to the future mobile networks using Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Advanced radio access network architectures (e.g., Cloud-RAN, Fog-RAN, Backhaul/Fronthaul techniques) to support heterogeneous ultra dense devices and users Coexisting of WiFi, Small Cells, HetNets and LTE/LTE-A sharing unlicensed spectrum Self organizing and heterogeneous ultra dense small cell networks Advanced radio resource management (resource allocation, mobility management, interference management, SON, etc.) for heterogeneous ultra dense 5G networks Software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization, network slicing for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Novel applications and service scenarios of ultra dense 5G networks in vehicular Internet, and IoT Energy harvesting, caching , and cognitive radio for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and big data techniques in heterogeneous ultra dense scenarios Novel multiple access techniques in heterogeneous UDNs, such as SCMA, NOMA, PDMA, MUSA, etc. Supporting network applications, such as video applications for heterogeneous ultra dense networks. Other topics (PHY layer, MAC layer, Network layer) in heterogeneous UDNs ------------------- SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" Datum: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:17:40 +0100 Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [IPIN2017] Call for Competition (IPIN 2017) Datum: Fri, 7 Apr 2017 00:18:01 +0900 Von: IPIN2017 announcement <cfp(a)ipin2017.org> Antwort an: no_return(a)ipin2017.org An: cfp(a)ipin2017.org Call For Competition ==================== September 2017 - Sapporo, Japan ------------------------------- IPIN is pleased to announce the IPIN 2017 Indoor Localization Competition, to be held during the IPIN 2017 Conference in Sapporo (Japan). The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new research opportunities for the indoor localization area, where no accepted standards exist yet. IPIN 2017 Indoor Localization Competition will consist of several tracks, including on-site and off-site contests. Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference and prizes will be awarded to the winners. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions based on EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method (http://evaal.aaloa.org). Competition Tracks ------------------ Track 1: Smartphone-based Track 2: Pedestrian dead reckoning Track 3: Smartphone-based (off-site) Track 4: PDR for warehouse picking (off-site) Track 1 "Smartphone-based": A pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings carries a smartphone which runs the competing system, without any external aid, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position in real time. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by KICS (KR) Track 2: "Pedestrian dead reckoning": The competing system uses MEMS sensors (inertial, compass and altimeter pressure sensors) mounted on the body to localize a pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings; control and monitoring devices such as a notebook are carried by the user. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by ETRI (KR) Track 3: "Smartphone-based (off-site)": The goal is to localize a pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in multi-floor buildings using data provided by a conventional smartphone (WiFi, inertial, magnetic, GPS, pressure, light, ...). Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using a ground truth reference database, and compete using new unreferenced data. Prize: to be defined Track 4: "PDR for warehouse picking (off-site)": Data from inertial, pressure and magnetic sensors and BLE data from a smartphone plus picking records from a warehouse management system (WMS) are collected during 3 hours of actual picking work by 8 people carrying a smartphone on their back in a warehouse, with actions including walking, picking and carrying. Competitors obtain sample data and test data to calibrate their algorithms, and compete using separate actual data. Prize: 150,000 JPY or more worth prize awarded by PDR benchmark standardization committee (JP) Technical Competition Details ----------------------------- The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules to follow and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Announcements and possible refinements of the annexes, also based on candidate competitors' comments, will be timely distributed on the competition discussion mailing list <contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org> and will appear on the IPIN web site. Maps of the competition area and all the relative information will be provided by the end of April. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition will be announced during the conference. Competitor Admission Process ---------------------------- A "competitor" can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) "technical description" of their localization system, including a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register to the IPIN conference, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process (allocated time, support and space) and the submission of a paper describing the system. Competitors are required to make an oral presentation of their system during a dedicated session at the IPIN conference. Additionally, competitor teams are invited, but not required, to submit a paper to the conference. The paper will follow the same peer review and publishing process as all the other papers submitted to IPIN. If the paper is work-in-progress, competitors can benefit from relaxed deadline as specified below. Competitors who wish to test their system, but do not want to be included in the public rankings and compared with other competitors, can ask for that special condition in advance to the chairs of the relevant track. Important dates --------------- Technical description: 15 July 2017 Notification of admission: shortly after request Regular paper submission: same as conference Work-in-progress submission: 10 September 2017 Off-site results (track 3): 22 September 2017 Off-site results (track 4): 8 September 2017 Organizing Committee -------------------- General Chairs Francesco Potortì (CNR, Italy) <Potorti(a)isti.cnr.it> Nobuo Kawaguchi (Nagoya University, Japan) <kawaguti(a)nagoya-u.jp> Sangjoon Park (ETRI, South Korea) <sangjoon(a)etri.re.kr> Track 1 chairs: Filippo Palumbo (CNR, IT) Antonino Crivello (CNR, IT) Track 2 chairs: Soyeon Lee (ETRI, KR) Jaehyun Lim (ETRI, KR) Track 3 chairs: Joaquín Torres (Universitat Castellon, ES) Antonio R.
