-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 25. Juni 2015 20:41:26 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approaching: IEEE MASS 2015 Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Dallas, USA October 19, 2015 Co-located with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2015 http://www.ene.unb.br/cartoon/ ================================================================================ Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2015 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed / unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 03 Notification of Acceptance: July 31 Camera-ready papers: August 07 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere.

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: July 1, 2015 CFP URL: http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/vtjournal/SI/TVT_SI_5G_Vanet.pdf 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. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: IEEE MiSeNet'15 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2015 - Submission Deadline: June 26! Datum: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 04:24:51 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG The Fourth IEEE Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking ( IEEE MiSeNet 201 5 ) In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2015, Dallas, Texas, USA, October 19-22 , 201 5. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2015.h… Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 201 5 *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 as 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. MiSeNet 201 5 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 201 5 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. MiSeNet 201 5 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 MiSeNet 201 5 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 *- Jie Wu ( Temple University, USA) *Program Chair *- Benyan Liu (University of Massachusetts Lowell , USA) *Steering Committee *- T h om as La Porta (Chair) (Penn State University, USA) - Tarek F.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] One week to deadline: Wiley ETT SI on "Emerging Topics in Device to Device Communications as Enabling Technology for 5G Systems" Datum: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 11:25:00 +0200 Von: Leonardo Militano <leonardo.militano(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Leonardo Militano <leonardo.militano(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================ Wiley Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Special Issue on "Emerging Topics in Device to Device Communications as Enabling Technology for 5G Systems" URL:http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915/home… New deadline: June 29 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ AIM AND SCOPE The growing demand for mobile data traffic and the proliferation of applications requiring high data rates has raised the need for the definition of new standards for the mobile market. Next generation mobile and wireless communications systems will have to respond to an avalanche of traffic, an explosion of the number of connected devices and a large diversity of use cases and requirements. One of the key enabling technologies at the heart of the 5G systems is Device-to-Device communications. Devices being close to each other can activate direct links and bypass the base station (BS) or access point (AP) by either using cellular communications resources or using alternative radio technologies such as Wi-Fi. The D2D communications paradigm holds, indeed, the promise of to overcome the limitations of conventional cellular systems with very high bit rates, low delay, and low power consumption. There are a number of applications where D2D communications can provide significant ! improvements. For example, it can be useful to provide mobile data offloading for proximity based applications, to extend the network coverage, or supporting content sharing among users and group oriented services. However, there are many issues still waiting for a solution before a widespread use of D2D communications in next 5G systems is granted. These include network and device discovery, radio resource allocation and resource management, non-network-assisted direct links formation, capacity evaluation. Moreover, some research aspects, such as mobility management, multicast and broadcast communications and radio access procedures for D2D received little attention so far. Purpose of this special issue is to promote novel solutions for design and modeling of D2D communications as enabling technology for future 5G systems. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Network and device discovery techniques for D2D communications - Energy efficiency and power control in D2D communications in 5G systems - Centralized and distributed coordination for D2D communications in 5G systems - Network assisted and self-organizing D2D implementations for multimedia services - Radio resource allocation and management for D2D communications in 5G systems - Optimization and game theoretic approaches for D2D communications - D2D communications in massive MIMO systems - Mobility management in single and multi-cell scenarios for D2D communications - Multi-hop D2D communication for content distribution in Cloud and Internet of Things environments - Full-duplex in D2D communications - Channel estimation techniques for D2D communications - Impact of HW imperfections and limitations on for D2D communications performance - Modeling of control plane support for cellular network assisted D2D communications - D2D as enabler for Human-Type-Communication (MTC) and Machine-Type-Communications (MTC) - D2D communications for vehicular networks - WiFi-Direct, LTE-Direct for supporting D2D communications - Physical layer aspects and frequency band analysis for D2D applications - Current and future standardization activities for D2D technology Papers must be tailored to the problems of 5G communications systems and explicitly consider Device to Device Communications as the enabling technology. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ============================================================ Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue.
