-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Michele Segata <msegata(a)DISI.UNITN.IT> Gesendet: 8. September 2015 10:22:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] 12th IEEE/IFIP Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference (WONS 2016) Dear Colleagues, Please find below the Call for Papers for next year's edition of WONS IEEE/IFIP WONS 2016 - Call For Papers The 12th Annual Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services 20-22 January 2016 Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy http://2016.wons-conference.org/ Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor networks, cloud networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, and in-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. IEEE/IFIP WONS, now numbering twelve editions, has established itself as a high quality forum to address these and related challenges. After a one-year break, WONS is able to continue to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment. This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems; from protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, application use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network technologies. Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to: * Cognitive radio networks * Cross-layer design * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Heterogeneous wireless networks * Implementations and testbeds * Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies * Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems * Green wireless networks * Localization and mobility management * MAC and advanced PHY technologies * Middleware aspects * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Mobile computing and services * Modeling and optimization * Network management * New architectures for on-demand wireless systems * Novel applications and services * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Security, privacy, and trust * Social and economic aspects Special Track --------------- IEEE/IFIP WONS 2016 also solicits original contributions to a special track on Community Networks and Services. Community Networks are bottom-up initiatives that mix wireless mesh networks with wired networks to provide Internet connectivity but also to enable the on-demand creation of local applications.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: deadline extended for VNC 2015 (the 2015 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference) Datum: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 19:26:10 +0200 Von: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> Antwort an: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ** deadline extended to 14 September 2015 ** VNC 2015 - Call For Papers 7th IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference 16-18 December 2015 Kyoto, Japan http://www.ieee-vnc.org/2015/ Vehicular networking and communication systems is an area of significant importance in our increasingly connected and mobile world. Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents and improve safety, mitigate the impact of congestion, and overall provide a more comfortable experience. Towards this goal, the 2015 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. IEEE VNC 2015 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster session to allow the authors to closely interact with, and obtain feedback from, the conference audience on new or on-going research contributions related to vehicular networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2015 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations related to vehicular networking, describing either mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries as well as universities. We especially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of vehicular networks, including ITS * Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications * Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications * Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.) * In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired) * Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.) * Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC / link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport, applications etc.) * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks * Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks * Network and QoS management for vehicular networks * Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks * Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies * Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment * Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles * Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-application) * Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks Conference Venue ---------------- The conference will be hosted in Kyoto, Japan at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Kyoto, known as the Cultural Heart of Japan, was the imperial capital of Japan for over a millennium and is one of the best preserved cities in Japan. Seventeen UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites are located in and around Kyoto, 1600 Buddhist temples, 400 Shinto shrines, as well as countless famous gardens and palaces. At the same time, Kyoto is very much a modern city, home to close to 1.5 million people. Kansai International Airport is just 75 minutes out from the city center. Manuscript submissions ---------------------- All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically. Submission instructions are provided online. We will consider two different categories of papers: Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and they will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference, with more time dedicated to discussions. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will not be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be "downgraded" to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Please note that for every accepted contribution, at least one person must register for the conference and present. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. A demo paper submission should include an overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be showcased to the attendees. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, it will be downloaded by the demo co-chairs such that it can be hosted on our website to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will then also be advertised on the conference website. For all accepted demonstration proposals, the demo co-chairs will follow up with the authors to obtain requests for required equipment and/or facilities (power outlets, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc.). Demonstrations may be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background, and the technical content to be demonstrated. The authors should inform the demo co-chairs if an accompanying poster will be presented.

Organized by the IEEE IoT Initiative and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Website: http://www.ieee-wf-iot.org/program.html#workshops Submission site: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=19997&track=76312 The future network infrastructure for vehicular environments will increase the pervasiveness of the Internet and the overall connectivity by integrating every “object” (e.g., passengers’ smart phones, vehicles’ sensors, infrastructures and external management platform) forming an intelligent vehicular transportation system. IoT supported by vehicular networks will be a key enabler for new geo-spatial information mapping communities. Using the advanced communication and sensor capabilities hosted by vehicles, these IoT communities have the potential to reach a wide range of objectives at more cost effective ways. Applications for such a promising combination of information production range from providing road safety and driver assistance, to mapping road status (e.g., road congestion status, road conditions and maintenance status), to estimating the 'greenens’ of various road segments. Topics of interest ------------------ This workshop seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of automotive IoT, integrations of vehicular sensor networks with IoT and advanced communication and networking technologies applied in vehicular systems. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: *Connected vehicles, communications, networking and applications in IoT *IoT for autonomous cars and driving systems *IoT cloud computing and management platform for connected vehicles *In-car electronics, embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications with IoT *Mobile vehicular sensor networks *Interworking with sensor network technologies *Transportation cyber-physical networks *Mobility for IoT *RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models *Spectrum, radio resource and interference management *Intra/Inter-vehicle communications. *Wireless enabled intelligent transportation systems *Applications (Telematics, Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis, etc.) *Vehicular social networks in IoT *Architecture, networking protocols, QoS and cross-layer optimization design *Security, liability and privacy *Standards development, business models and policies *Testbeds and simulation platforms *Field trials and deployments Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (suggested size is four pages; papers up to six pages will be accepted) following the submission guidelines provided at www.ieee-wf-iot.org/authors.html.

We would appreciate if you could circulate this email to colleagues and relevant mailing lists. Call for Papers With smartphones in their pockets, more than 1 billion people now have immediate access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, and this makes it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, expanding the scope of research endeavours and allowing civic issues to be addressed, without the need to purchase specialized sensors or install and maintain network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources, and may allow the data to come from previously inaccessible locations and contexts. CASPer 2016 provides a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing and crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets • Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Trust and reputation systems for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Crowd assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks • Crowd assisted pervasive systems and communications • Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Novel largescale and enterprise crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Paper Submission Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Authors will submit through EDAS. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Please note: as per IEEE PerCom policy, each accepted paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).
