September 2015 10:04:55 MESZ An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Betreff: EWSN 2016 Workshops on Next Generation Communication Paradigms and Computing Platforms Call for EWSN 2016 Workshop Contributions Intl. Workshop on New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things (MadCom) Intl. Workshop on Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet (NextMote) www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 ============================================================== MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things ============================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/MadCom2016 For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + magnetic induction communication + infrared communication + laser communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + acoustic communication + applications for novel wireless communication methods + new platforms + theoretical models + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies ============================================================== NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ============================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/NextMote2016 The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: firstly so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and secondly smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". What will they be, and how to design them? The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions ============================================================== The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications. Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike. The papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format). Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the LaTeX templates provided here: http://bit.ly/ewsn-template2016 Key Dates ============================================================== Paper submission deadline: November 9, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC Paper notification: December 7, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue - Mobile Traffic Analytics Datum: Sat, 19 Sep 2015 01:21:07 +0200 Von: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> Antwort an: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** One month to the manuscript submission deadline *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine SI on Device-to-Device (D2D) Communications with Social Awareness Datum: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:44:36 -0600 Von: Qing Yang <qing.yang(a)CS.MONTANA.EDU> Antwort an: Qing Yang <qing.yang(a)CS.MONTANA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS In recent years, high data rate applications have become more and more popular in cellular network, e.g. video calls, interactive gaming, and mobile social networking. To efficiently facilitate more high data rate services among nearby users and devices, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been proposed and has attracted significant attention in both the academia and the industry because it can offer a wide variety of advantages over the traditional cellular networks, e.g., higher throughput, efficient spectral usage, extended network coverage, improved energy efficiency, delay and fairness, etc. Clearly, D2D is a promising technology and thus a major opportunity for cellular network operators. However, D2D communication is also complex in that many technical challenges have to be addressed before it could be widely adopted, such as quality of service (QoS) guarantee, interference management, channel allocation, communication session setup and management, upgrading of existing infrastructures, economic model and pricing, etc. In addition to these challenges, a major issue is to understand the impact of the social networks. Since mobile devices are typically used and carried by people, a natural question one may ask is: “What are the benefits of considering human’s social relations in D2D communication?” For example, when a person is at work, he might exploit his social connections to nearby co-workers to improve the quality of D2D communications, e.g., by asking the most trustful user/device to relay his network traffic. When there is no trustworthy friend in the vicinity, he might negotiate with nearby users/strangers to achieve cooperative D2D communication by offering relay assistance to each other. Such mutually beneficial actions will also help expand this person’s social network. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: -Social-aware device discovery in D2D technology -LTE-A SAE architecture for social-aware D2D technology -Social-aware security mechanism for D2D networks -Social-aware D2D for public safety -Social-aware D2D for vehicular communication -Social-aware/application-ware frequency reuse and spectrum sharing for D2D communication -Social-aware protocols for D2D communication -Social-aware/application-ware power and interference management -Social aware resource allocation and optimization for D2D -Social-aware neighbor discovery and link maintenance -Crowdsourcing in D2D networks -Trust and reputations in D2D networks -Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication -Social-aware routing protocols for multi-hop D2D networks -Social-aware apps for D2D communication -E-health with D2D communication IMPORTANT DATES -Manuscript Submission: December 1, 2015 -Initial Decision: February 10, 2016 -Revised Manuscript Due: March 15, 2016 -Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2016 -Final Manuscript Due: May 10, 2016 -Publication Date: August 2016 SUBMISSION Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/author-guidelines).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Second IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2016 Datum: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 15:40:07 +0200 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Second IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy 2016) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2016 Submission Deadline: November 27, 2015 March 14-18, 2016, Sydney, Australia http://perenergy2016.cs.uni-bonn.de/ ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serves as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data such that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations of recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and future development of smart energy management systems. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Distributed infrastructures for collecting energy data and relevant context information - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Novel system architectures for pervasive energy services - Scalable system concepts and algorithms for processing and analyzing energy data - Exploitation of energy data and context information for the optimized control of distributed loads and energy sources (in particular, renewable sources) - Energy services for smart home and office spaces, including energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and informed load shifting - Use cases and user studies of pervasive energy services highlighting research gaps - Experiences with prototypes and pilots of smart energy applications and services - Privacy, safety, and security in pervasive energy services - Experiences with energy metering installations and data sets for the comparison of consumer characteristics in a globalized world - Energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home and office spaces Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '16 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
