-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> Gesendet: 6. Juli 2015 07:58:12 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue - Mobile Traffic Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/ Special Issue on Mobile Traffic Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Scope Mobile traffic analytics enable the study of the movement and service consumption of mobile subscribers at large scales. The rise of mobile traffic analytics is fostered by an unprecedented availability of data, collected by mobile operators through probes deployed at the access and core networks, or gathered by dedicated research initiatives via monitoring apps running on users’ smartphones. Both approaches can harvest information about large populations, from hundreds to millions individuals, over long time periods, from weeks to years. The richness of mobile traffic datasets is paramount to research in a wide range of disciplines, including, e.g., sociology, transportations, statistical physics, epidemiology, and – of course – networking. However, several technical challenges need to be tackled to release the full potential of such data sources, including the assessment of statistical robustness of inferred knowledge, the overcoming of scalability issues, and the consideration for data access limitations imposed by privacy regulations that tend to reduce data usability. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather contributions presenting state-of-the-art research dealing with all facets of mobile traffic analytics. We expect submissions to present quantitative evaluations carried out on substantial real-world datasets of mobile traffic. Here, we intend the term "traffic" in its wider acceptation. We thus invite works on data collected via, e.g., Call Detail Records (CDR), access (RNC) and core (MSC, GGSN/PGW) network probes, or smartphone monitoring apps; data can be limited to mobility patterns, it can concern traditional user-to-user mobile services (i.e., calling and texting), it can focus on the mobile data traffic demand (at any granularity, from throughput volumes to the precise services and protocols employed), or it can contain any combination of such information types. We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary research works at the interface between networking and disciplines such as those mentioned above. Special attention will be deserved to findings and results that have practical applications in terms of technological innovation, sustainable development, data and network management, and mobile services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Original (open) mobile traffic datasets - Preparation and management of mobile traffic datasets - Generative models for synthetic mobile traffic datasets - Algorithms, structures, and (visual) tools for mobile traffic analysis - Privacy and security issues in mobile traffic analysis, and countermeasures - Inference of social features and mobility patterns from mobile traffic - Profiling of mobile device and mobile users from mobile traffic - Characterization of the mobile subscriber demand from mobile traffic - Comparison of mobile traffic features across cities, regions, and countries - Mobile traffic analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems - Mobile traffic analytics for cognitive and anticipatory networking - Mobile access and core network enhancements from mobile traffic analysis - Mobile traffic analytics for device-to-device and opportunistic communication - Mobile service marketing strategies from mobile traffic analysis + Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: October 16, 2015 First notification: January 22, 2016 Submission of revised paper: March 11, 2016 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2016 + Guest Editors Marco Fiore, CNR – IEIIT (marco.fiore(a)ieiit.cnr.it) M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] CFP: Elsevier VehCom Journal S.I. on Vehicular Cloud Networking Datum: Fri, 03 Jul 2015 17:39:57 +0200 Von: Rami Langar <rami.langar(a)lip6.fr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Vehicular Communications Journal on "Vehicular Cloud Networking". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- */Call for Papers/* *A Special Issue of **Vehicular Communications **on* *“**Vehicular Cloud Networking**”*** Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have gained a significant attention during the last decades both from industrial and academia communities to increase road safety and traffic management. However, vehicles are normally constrained by resources, including computation, storage, and radio spectrum bandwidth. Many emerging applications demand complex computation and large storage, including in-vehicle multimedia entertainment, vehicular social networking, etc. It becomes increasingly difficult for an individual vehicle to efficiently support these applications. A very promising solution is to share the computation and storage resources among all vehicles or physically nearby vehicles. As such, a new paradigm has emerged called “Vehicular Clouds” and consist of a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish papers studying this emerging paradigm of cloud-based vehicular networks. Contributed submissions to this Special Issue may present novel ideas, models, methodologies, system design and architecture, experiments and benchmarks for performance evaluation pertaining to vehicular cloud networks. This Special Issue also welcome relevant research surveys. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · Service architectures in Vehicular Clouds: Network as a Service (NaaS), Storage as a Service (STaaS), and Cooperation as a Service (CaaS). · Vehicular Clouds: System architectures, platforms, and testbeds. · Cloud-assisted vehicle communications. · Mobile vehicular social networks. · Mobility analysis and vehicle traffic analysis in Vehicular Clouds. · Networking to reduce energy consumption in Vehicular Clouds. · V2V or V2I protocols in Cloud-based vehicular networks and communications. · Wireless access virtualization and resource management in cloud-based vehicular networks. · Security and privacy issues in Vehicular Clouds. *Submission Format and Guideline* All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - ACM CoNEXT 2015 Workshop: Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) Datum: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 14:35:19 +0000 Von: Spyridon VASSILARAS <spyros.vassilaras(a)HUAWEI.COM> Antwort an: Spyridon VASSILARAS <spyros.vassilaras(a)HUAWEI.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) 2015 Workshop Future and emerging wireless networks will pose extreme communication requirements such as very high throughput rates and very low latency, particularly in QoE sensitive applications such as multimedia content delivery. Currently, operators are striving to reduce the investment and maintenance costs for cellular systems. In this context, caching has been proposed as a technique that has the potential to reduce backhaul network traffic and improve content latency for the wireless user. Especially in 5G, caching is poised as one of the most promising new technologies. The "Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks (CCDWN) 2015" workshop (http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2015/#!/ccdwn) focuses on techniques that aim to achieve efficient content delivery to the end user in order to meet the stringent quality requirements of 5G wireless. The idea is to bring together experts in the field and discuss ways in which content caching, sharing and prefetching can play a leading role in future wireless networks. Indicative research topics of high interest include but are not limited to: * Scaling laws for the capacity of wireless networks equipped with caches * Caching architectures and cache replacement policies for wireless networks * Optimal content / cache placement: polynomial-time approximation algorithms, minimum latency problem, minimum network traffic problem (both static & dynamic variations) * Joint replication and delivery techniques: replacement policies, dynamic routing policies * Proactive caching: recommendation models, prefetching, scheduling * Estimation of content popularity: machine learning approaches, dynamic content popularity models, measurement-based popularity estimation, prediction of future popularity and popularity trends * Exploitation of the time aspect: caching viral files, user mobility, non-stationary models * Interface of caching techniques with communications techniques, including scheduling, routing, multicasting, femto caching, and MIMO communications * Network coding techniques: coded caching, distributed storage * Network economic aspects of caching: where to cache? Storage vs BW tradeoff, incentives, game theoretic models * Practical aspects of content caching and delivery in wireless networks including control information overhead minimization, efficient protocols, standardization, and issues such as tunneling and encrypted content * Lessons learnt: what known techniques from Content Delivery Networks teach us * Energy saving through caching * Caching for Information Centric Networks This workshop aims to bring together people from different communities, including networking, communications, computer science, operation research, and machine learning, to shed light on the latest developments in the field. To maximize interaction and visibility, CCDWN will be co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2015 (http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2015) and will take place on December 1st 2015, in Heidelberg, Germany. The workshop is considered an integral part of the CoNEXT 2015 conference. All CCDWN papers will be published in the same set of proceedings as the main conference and will be made available on the ACM Digital Library. Publication at this workshop is not intended to preclude later publication of an extended version of the paper. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to present his / her paper at the workshop. Keynote Presentation: The workshop keynote presentation will be delivered by Prof. Giuseppe Caire. Instructions for Authors: A submission must be no greater than 6 pages in length including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc., and must be a PDF file of less than 10MB in size. The review process is single-blind. Follow the same formatting guidelines as the CoNEXT conference, except CCDWN has a 6 page limit and a 10MB file size limit.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Computer SI on "Communications and Privacy Surveillance" Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 18:01:18 +0200 Von: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)UNINA.IT> Antwort an: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)UNINA.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------ IEEE Computer Special Issue on “Communications and Privacy under Surveillance” Full paper submission deadline: 1 August 2015 Publication date: March 2016 Computer plans a March 2016 special issue on communications and privacy under surveillance. Today, our daily communications are subject to surveillance by government agencies and private hackers. The purpose could be legal crime investigation or terrorism prevention, or it could be illegal privacy infringement or theft of confidential information. There are often gray areas between legal and illegal surveillance. Despite the controversy, communications-surveillance technologies continue to evolve. However, these sensitive technologies have seldom been reported in the scientific literature, as developers have largely subscribed to the idea of “security by obscurity.” Now, though, many realize that surveillance technologies could be improved much faster via “security by clarity,” with the technologies examined by both good and bad guys. This could also reduce the gray area between legal and illegal activities, thereby protecting privacy. This special issue will foster dissemination of the latest communications and privacy surveillance methodologies. The guest editors’ aim is to publish high-quality articles presenting the state of the art in lawful, mass, wireless, and backdoor surveillance. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: a.. Lawful surveillance with RFC 3924 b.. Mass and global surveillance programs such as Five Eyes, PRISM, XKeyscore, Tempora, Muscular, and Royal Concierge c.. Wireless surveillance via 4G/3G/GSM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth with IMSI Catcher, Femtocatch, and Bluejacking d.. Backdoor surveillance by malware on servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets via server and browser exploits, repackaged applications, repackaged documents, and advanced persistent threats e.. Surveillance and analysis tools such as Boundless Informant, XKeyscore, Tempora, Tracfin, Visitor Location Registers, A5/1, and Tor f.. Big data analysis on communications-surveillance data, metadata, and multimedia g.. Security and privacy by obscurity vs. security and privacy by clarity h.. Analytical and simulation models of communications and privacy surveillance i.. Network and traffic forensics for surveillance j.. Censorship analysis, detection, and circumvention k.. Policies and regulations regarding legal and illegal surveillance l.. Experimental studies of and testbeds for communications and privacy surveillance Only submissions that describe previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Articles should be understandable by a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. Questions?

IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking, Control and Positioning for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 WORKSHOP LOCATION: San Diego, California, USA WORKSHOP DATE: DECEMBER 6 or 10, 2015 PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: ** JULY 15, 2015 (via EDAS) ** EXTENDED FIRM DEADLINE ** WEBSITE: www.wi-uav.org EDAS submission link: https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=20647 The workshop is the interdisciplinary platform to bring together robotics, control, positioning, and wireless communications. You are kindly invited to submit your research paper to this workshop and discuss current innovative technological advances in the general area of networking, control, and positioning solutions for autonomous systems. Aims and Scope: Unmanned autonomous systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments. In order to fulfill particularly challenging tasks, next-generation cellular networks will enable cooperation of a broad range of mobile devices, including autonomous or human-controlled devices with varying capabilities to communicate and interact with other devices. Visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. This vision can be applied to a wide range of applications, e.g., autonomous driving including platooning and traffic control, exploration for search-and-rescue missions, and factory automation. The communication subsystem needs to provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links as well as data links. Unmanned vehicles also offer the capability to form ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to facilitate temporary hot spots and compensate network outages in case! of public events and emergencies. The navigation sub-system musts provide relative positioning information with sub-meter accuracy and very low latency (~1 ms). The steering and control unit needs to be tightly coupled with the communications and navigation subsystem to ensure proper decisions even with imperfect local information. The focus of the workshop will be solely on projects and research aiming at civilian applications. This sixth edition of the workshop aims to cover the most recent results of various international research projects on new communications networks enabling the efficient control and context-awareness of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater, and in space scenarios Topics: - Communication architectures and protocols for un- manned autonomous vehicles - Ad-hoc networking, routing, handover and meshing - Cooperation of ground, aerial and maritime unmanned vehicles - Localization, navigation, and path planning - Agent based mobility, multi-platform control, cognitive capabilities, and swarming - Cooperative network navigation - 5G communication for autonomous vehicles - Multi-agent control and optimization - Passive localization - Human-machine interaction - Compressive and cooperative sensing and navigation - Big data and machine learning for autonomous vehicles - Results from prototypes, test-beds and demonstrations Key Note: The Wi-UAV has a tradition of distinguished key note speakers (see www.wi-uav-org). The key note speaker for 2015 will be announced soon. Submission Guidelines and Publication: GLOBECOM workshops accept only original, previously unpublished papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Deadline Extended] CFP: TVT SI on "Emerging Technology of 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks" Datum: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 01:53:19 -0400 Von: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline (Extended): July 15, 2015 Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal [IF=1.94] -- SI on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" Datum: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:48:04 +0200 Von: Valeria Loscri <valeria.loscri(a)INRIA.FR> Antwort an: Valeria Loscri <valeria.loscri(a)INRIA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on " Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. -------------------------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is…> AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billions of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process a huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. Their role however does not end here. Smartphones, in fact, are very powerful devices with constantly increasing processing, communication and sensing capabilities and very recently, a large plethora of proposals have emerged to leverage those capabilities to contribute to the information production process. For instance, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smarthphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to became a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing feature and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to address the formerly highlighted issues. Specifically on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. At the same time, beside studying the issues of the city-wide infrastructure deployment, the workshop aims to investigate the potential provided by the end-users devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) when augmented in order to turn them into active components of the smart-city ecosystem, instead of mere connection end-points. Such a potential includes the possibility to extend the network access in a pervasive way, to provide ubiquitous computing services, and to favor the emergence of "collectivity intelligence behaviors" through collaboration and direct communication among devices. In lines with such objectives, the topics of interests include -but it is not limited to- the following issues: . Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city . Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; . Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); . IoT architectures and middlewares; . Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; . Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; . Systems for distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; . Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments . Crowd sourcing in smart cities; . Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; . Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; . Testbed on the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; . Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; . Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing; . Cooperative systems of Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------- Manuscript submission: 1st August 2015 Notification of acceptance: 1st February 2016 Final Manuscript Due: 1st March 2016 Online Publication: 1st May 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks>.
